Center's birthday
shows enthusiam,
community spirit
By Angela Allen Morgan
Of the f merald
For a one-year-old, the turnout
was impressive.
The Hult Center for the Perfor
ming Art's celebrated its first bir
thday Saturday night, and about
2,500 people — dressed to the hilt
- helped celebrate. For several
hours, the sell-out audience was
high on community spirit, though
there was little doubt that the in
defatiguable Pearl Bailey revved
up any civic chauvinism that
might have flagged over the past
year. Bailey led the audience in
the traditional Happy Birthday
song and later asked to be invited
back "for the Hult's second, the
third, even its 20th birthday."
At least on this first anniversary
night, the glitter and gleam of red
roses, purple balloons and Silva
Stage dancing left all doubts
behind about the survival and
cultural investment of Eugene's
performing arts center. And for an
institution still wet behind the
ears, the Hult has had its traumas
— among them:
— The $360,000 operating deficit
projected for the next five years.
—The squabbling over the
center's name (Hult) and the cen
tre's name (Eugene Centre).
— The taxpayer-financed
Sunriver retreat that the Hult
management took earlier this
year.
Pride and Pearl, though, were
more appropriate than politics.
Before the Broadway star and the
virtuoso Louie Bellson quartet
took center stage, Eugene Mayor
Gus Keller presented three
Eugene Arts & Letters Awards. The
awards recently were established
by Hester and Lee Bishop to
"honor the persons and or
organizations, past and present,
who have contributed to the
enrichment of Eugene’s cultural
life through their involvement in
the arts and letters."
And honored they were.
The first went to "theater trade
tion" Ed Ragozzino, who has
directed and produced more than
110 community performances that
have been instrumental in con
tributing funds, spirit and drive to
the creation of the Performing
Arts.
H. Royce Saltzman received the
second award. Saltzman is best
known in Eugene and Springfield
as the founder and executive
director of the internationally
recognized Oregon Bach Festival,
which Eugene has hosted for 13
years.
The 54-year-old Very Little
Theatre was the final recipient.
The theatre, which netted a whop
ping $4.51 during its humble
opening performance in 1929, has
operated without income from
state, federal, local or foundation
funds.
Keller commended it for "serv
ing as a source of pleasure ancW*|i
wonder in its presentation oflpj)
dramatic productions in the best
tradition of community theatre."
University Theatre giant Horace
Robinson and Lawrence Maves,
former conductor of the Eugene
Symphony Orchestra and the
University's orchestra, were
honored last year in the first
Eugene Arts & Letters Awards.

Its microscopically-textured
