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,

Glinka's opera, "A Life for the
Czar" as recorded by Vanguard
is quile a production. 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
