There are many things that one c a r attribute to such blanket notoriety such as: being in the right place at the right time, unlimited financial backing, a good P.R. per son, etc. But the bottom line is always a unique talent. "The Divine Sarah" has been blessed with such a gift. For any entertainer to be continually sought after by music lovers around the world for over three decades is a major accom plishment in itself. Despite the weather conditions outside of Agnes Flanagan Chapel on the campus of Lewis and Clark College this past week-end, inside the standing- room-only audience was totally engulfed in the warming melodic songs from Sarah Vaughan. She was in excellent voice throughout the entire evening's performance. Her musical articulation, pitch and control are almost unbelievable. Sarah's latest album, "H ow Long Has This Been Going O n", is already a collector's item. This marks her first release in over five years, her last being "Live in Japan". Sarah Vaughan s performance this week-end will be a musical experience I will never forget. I think Tony Bennett said it best when once asked what he thought of Sarah Vaughan, he replied, "The finest singer in the w orld." W in e in th e W ild ern ess Rosemary Allen has become synonymous with Black theater in Oregon down through the years. Chronologically she's a young woman, but in viewing her many accomplishments in the past five or six years relating to the arts, she's matured beyond her years. Ms. Allen's production of "Raisin in the Sun" last year was given excellent reviews throughout the whole state. Hopefully, her latest effort, "W ine in the Wilderness", will be a repeat of the same success. The play opened last week to a capacity audience that was receptive the entire evening The play was written by Alice Childress in the late 1960's. Childress, bom during the "Black Renaissance" of the 1920's, is credited for not only being a playwright but also a writer, director and lecturer. "W ine in the Wilderness" is a situation com edy/dram a centered around a Black artist's search for three degrees of Black womanhood rolled up into "one” . The leading role was played by the very versatile Deborah Hicks along with Al Jamison, Vanessa Dell Jobe, Otto Rutherford and Marvin Johnson. If I tell you any more, you'll go and see it anyway, but I just want to make sure. It's an excellent presentation!
