r=) Celebrating” o8 A Marriage

By Henry Butler THE REGION'S BIGGEST stage event this week will

be Mozart's ““Marriage of Figaro” at Indiana University | audiitorium, Bloomington, Ind., tomorrow.

This touring production by the New York City Opera

Co. will scattered but fairly Hoosierland, which will last till late spring. For besides “Figaro” we'll" be offered two “Fledermaeuser” (the temptation is to write “Fledermice’): One in Purdue's Hall of Music Dec. 8, the other, the Metropolitan Opera version, here in Loew's Theater Dec. 14 and 15. As previously announced, Fa- - bien Sevitzky, the Symphony and Symphonic Choir will do a concert version of “Lohengrin” next Feb. 23 and 24 in the Murat, with soloists from the Met. The Indiana University School of Music opera department will repeat “Parsifal’ this season, probably next Palm Sunday, following tradition. Dean Wilfred C. Bain also speaks guardegly of at least one very important world premiere of a new American opera in late winter or early spring. And of course the Metropolitan's “heavy” company, as distinct from their “Fledermaus” flying tour, will be back in the spring for their annual two nights in Bloomington, one night in Lafayette. That's not even mentioning the many worth-while opera productions on a smaller scale by Jordan, DePauw and other colleges.

=u = » STILL DOMINATING the Indianapolis scene is the 4952 HolIywood Ice Revue. To comments on the opening night that appeared .in The Times last Thursday, I might add here some few reflections on the former and.current stars. >

A good many spectators had’

felt in recent years that Sonja Henie was throttling down the show to her own speed. A lot of discussion, pro and con, necessarily would have to remain off

the record. But there are indi-|

cations that management found Miss Henie sometimes difficult to deal with. My own guess, on slight acquaintance, would be that Miss Henie was needlessly sensitive to the gradual slowing-down imposed by increasing years. In several reviews of the show while she still dominated it, I suggested she might continue dominating it {ndefinitately and also retain her vast popularity if she would do

moré eftceeing and talent-spon-soring. She would have shone brightet in the dazzle of talent she discovered and presented. There never was any question about the loyalty of her public. They adored her, and they would have continued adoring her in her gradual assuming of the emcee-sponsor role. But that was not in the cards, and now Miss Henje is starting a show of her own on the Pacific Coast. Press reports indicate” it is closely similar to the shows she starred in here for the past couple of seasons.

u ” » INDICATIONS NOW are that

the Hollywood Ice Revue never

again will be plugged as a stardominated show. Publicity for the current brilliant production has made a lot of the three-way division of solo responsibility between Barbara Ann Scott, nominally the star; Carol Lynne, who does the fantastic acrobaticballet skating, and Andra MecLaughlin, who does novelty dances and takes over Miss Henie’s celebrated hula act. Miss Scott, Miss Lynne and Miss McLaughlin, all very delightful gals to talk with backstage, have charmed both management and the supporting cast with their patience and good nature. On the rare occasions when one of them has taken a spill, the aftermath has been remorse, not verbal fireworks. When Catherine Littlefield died last Monday in Chicago, she had been able to see ~ne performance af the Ice Revue she had largely created. A dread illness had stricken her before she could finish rehearsing the elaborate ice-dance routines she had devised. - On the show's opening night in Milwaukee, Miss Littlefield still
