Plays Fak Spring C Gonosrh

By. HENRY BUTLER The 500 or more persons who couldnt be accommodated in Boot tish Ril Rite cathedral auditorium Sat -urday night missed a good program. For Jordan conservatory's annualf spring concert, featuring. the Jordan orchestra and ballet, went off exceedingly well. Under Victor Kolar's able direction, the orchestra has ‘made commendable progress since its winter coneert. It sounded best Saturday night in Kalinnikov's First symphony, an impressive composition for plenty of- instrumental

ll the choirs have spruced up in fone, pitch, dynamics. And although unavoidable circumstances deprived y bass section of three members 1 night, the - balance was gly good. the instrumentalists deespecial praise is Mary Jane Gatbatz, first oboist. Saturday night she ran through difficult solo passages with the assurance of veteran. (Advertisement)

Without seeming to slight the orShams, it's only fair to say that the audience was chiefly interested in the ballet offerings. The “Di-| vertissements” and the one-act “Faust” ballet with Gounod's music ‘showed imagination and thoroughness on the part of Eileen Poston, Jordan's ballet director. Miss Poston herself, Mary Sue McCarty, Robbie Robison, Elizabeth Jovine, Jerry Padgett and John Rawlings had the chief roles in the two ballet groups. That's not forgetting the supporting cast and the participants in some of the specialties. Susie Miller, Consie Evans, Cynthia Hanson, Celia Turner, Vada Belshaw and Suanne Shirley, diminutive dancers in a “Pierrot and Pierrette” number with music by Mozart, scored a big hit with the audience. With good, solid orchestral accompaniment the beautifully costumed stage proceedings made excellent entertainment. I'd like to suggest, however, that the Jordan ballet experiment with some purely American stuff in the future so as to add more variety. Exotic material (Spanish, French, oriental, and so on) leans heavily on traditional choreography. Saturday night's program revealed two things: first, a great deal of careful work went into preparation; second, there's a lot of fine talent here in town, some of which is undoubtedly going to get

The Indiana chapter of the American guild of organists and the Indianapolis Symphonic choir got together for a Mne concert yesterday

at Scottish Rite cathedral. In two parts, the program started with organ solos by Oswald Ragatz

“lof Indiana university and a group

of plano numbers by Bomar Cramer. Organ music in that elaborate, House-of-Lords auditorium seems sort of improbable. You can't tell where it's coming from, and you get to wondering about engineering problems, Mr. Ragatz began with a fine, booming version of Bach's great G minor fantasy and fugue. He continued with Zachow’s chorale prelude on a theme familiar through its two appearances in Bach's “St. Passion,” Weinberger’s “The Last Supper” and the brilliant “Carillon-Sortie” of Mulet. Organists, like boxers, depend a lot on foot work. They also have to master a prodigious number of mechanical details, since the modern electro-pneumatic organ is a highly complicated contraption. Mr, Ragatz gave a splendid performance, exploiting the full resources of that fine, brilliant Scottish Rite organ. Mr. Cramer played the SchubertTausig “Andantino and Variations”

[taste and facility. He followed with a group of five Chopin etudes, including the E major—one of the schmaltziest in the entire collection. In Mr. Cramer's interpretation, the stormy middle section becomes more tempestuous than ever, with resultant heightening of effect, Elmer Steffen and the Symphonic choir took over the latter half of the program in a series of religious choruses, including Mendelssohn's setting of the 43d Psalm, three

short works by David Hugh Jones and the “Alleluia”. and “Resurrection Chorus” ‘from Lisat's “Christus.” Augmented by returned servicemen, the Bymphonic choir’s male! voices - are sturdier and better| blended than they were a couple of | years ago. Mr, Steffen leads his large choral group with great skill through difficult, stuff, Soloists in the Liszt “Resurrection Chorus” were Helen Crandall, soprano; Jane Kirkpatrick, contralto; Robert M. Calland, tenor;-and Ernst Heberlein, bass. Choir and’ soloists both sounded fine in the Liszt, one of the composer's more serious and profound works, Yesterday afternoon's program, like the Jordan program Saturday night, was free to the public, The two concerts were fine’ contributions to the community —H, B. 1
