Carl Ritchie and Elizabeth Winship, -who are starred in-Willamette University's production c the Greek trag edy, "Dectra," which will be produced on the stage of Waller hall Feb. 25-27 J A special adaptation of Soph ocles' "Electra," taken from eight separate translations, has been edited by Robert Putnam, director of theatre at the university and producer of the drama. - Greek Tragedy To Be Staged At Willamette r i For the first time in more than two decades, the Willamette Uni versity Players will present a Greek tragedy on the stage of Waller hall Feb. 25-27 at 8:15 pjn. A special adaptation of Sopho cles' "Electra," from eight sepa rate translations, has been edited by Robert Putnam, director ol theatre. The transcription has been written to preserve the spirit of the original Greek dra ma, and at the same time to make the language more readily under stood. ; j : Rather than employ the mod ern-day choral group of two or three members, the Willamette presentation! of rElectra" will feature six women in he chorus, adhering as closely as possible to the original Greek element Plot Is Told Plot of i Electra" develops from the unethical dealings of Electra's (Elizabeth Winship) ereat-erandfather Pelops. A curse was called down upon Pelops and all of his descendants, prophesy ing there would always be mur der and bloodshed within the family. Electra's f mother, Clytemnes- tra (Sheila Ryan Laue) con spires with: her lover Aegisthus (David Finlay) to murder her husband Agamemnon when he returns from the Trojan war. Electra, fond of hv father and hating heri mother, she desires to avenge -her father's murder. Her only means to this end is through her younger brother Orestes (Carl Ritchie) whom she rescued from death on the day of Agamemnon's murder and at which time; Orestes was sent into exile to be raised by a servant As the play opens Orestes re turns, now old enough to avenge his father's murder. Interest in the first act lies in the emotional relationships between Electra and her ! sister Chrysothemis (Clarine Woolery) and her moth er. The second act is devoted to the discovery of Orestes' return and the revenge of Agememnon as brought about by the murder of Clytemnestra and Aegisthus, Past presidents of Marion Auxi liary, VFW, were entertained Thursday night at the home f of Mrs. Dave Furlough.

Less non- ular than' Boris Godounoff (The Metropolitan offering next Sat urday on the air), and lackinr in coior ana melody. "A Life for the Czarl is never-the-less beau tifully recorded and well worth listening to. we had heard that thoutrh Russian opera choruses are not ed for their excellence, they acK lor solo material, we found tnat the leading voices from Bolsoi opera were excellent The bass voice of the hero,. Ivan Sus sanim, however, while true in tone, is rather heavy. Olmka in 1834 set about to produce a purely Russian Opera but after interesting the coun try's leading poet in writing the words, he was too impatient to wait forithe muse to insoire the writer to action, so turned in stead to the Russianized Ger man secretary to the Czarevich. As the man was neither Ryssian nor a writer, little can be got ten from the words, but Glinka made up for this in his music. He has made use of Russian folk tunes and a Polish rhythm or two, using a theme of Rus sian devotion to homeland. The plot is ! unimportant It deals with a Polish plot to kill the Czar, and the devotion of a Rus sian peasant who gives his life in saving that of his ruler. Our listening this week also included a London recording of the works of two contemporaries; Frenchman Ivan K. Semenoff and Spaniard Joaquim Rodrigo, The former's Double Concerto for violin, piano and orchestra is played by Christian Ferras and Pierre. Barbizet The sec ond is the Concerto d'Ete for violin played also by Ferras. The orchestra is L'Orchestre de la Societe 1 des Conservatoire de Paris. Semenoff directs it for his composition, Georges Enes- co for the ; Spanish number. A lesson in perfect diction can be learned from the very popular Angel Recording of T. S. Eliot's Murderi in the Cathedral, with Robert Donat the star which we also heard.j It's a fine hour and a half of entertainment One of the RCA records which should : be i included in the col lection : of many Salem concert goers is Kapell In Memorium on which 1 William Kapell plays Bach, Schubert tnd Liszt Ka pell, who died last fall at the ago of 31, caught the fancy of a Community Concert audience when be played here some six years ago and has been steadily gaining in! his popularity since Quotations from Virgil Thomp son of the New York Herald Tribune, and Claudia Cassidy of the Chicago Tribune on the rec ord's jacket reveal him as. out standing among musicians of the day. ; I ' This, byl the way, is included among the; records in RCA's mid winter; sale.
