OPEN Gay Festival Revels Given During Shower Even though showers fell dur ing the afternoon and for about half of the performance, some 400 people were in the audience last night for "An Evening's Revels," program of dancing and Elizabethan music presented by players of the Oregon Shake spearean festival. The optimism of those who turned out in spite of summer rain was justified, too. The play ers and dancers were light hearted and gay, the music was excellent and due to the manner in which the final number was presented, those in the audience felt they had been a part of the revels, and had had a good time. Colorful Scan When the curtains parted the audience saw a long table with an Elizabethan . lord (Richard Graham) and his lady (Clara Margaret Daniels) and their guests seated at dinner. Servants passed food and drink, and mu sicians were on hand to provide entertainment and to accompany the singing and dancing of the guests. It was a gay, colorful scene. The guests around the table, of course, were members of the Madrigal singers, or of the dance group which presented numbers earlier this season for The Bard's Heyday. The Madrigal group per formed informally, without ris ing from the table, and were ex pertly but unobstruaively con- Wall Street New York (U.FD Prices on the Stock Exchange suffered their widest decline in more than two months today on in creased volume.

Write today to The Ball Clinic, Dept. 2609, Excelsior ducted by Helen Davies, member of this year's festival company. They opened the -program with "Sing We and Chant It," a five part ballad written by Michael Drayton with music composed by Thomas Morley, and "April Is In My Mistress Face," another Morley composition. .The dancers performed two pavannes, a guillard and a cin quepace and were followed by Brad Curtis singing two old English numbers and playing his accompaniment on a guitar played in the fashion of a lute. This actor-musician, who turned strolling troubador and has been singing for audiences before play performances, is proving very popular and was well applauded last night Well Received Another solo number was by Miss Davies, sprano, who was well received in her singing of "Under the Greenwood Tree." This song is from Shakespeare's "As You Like It" and the tune used is one sung in his time. Miss Davies and Elizabeth Walk er, contralto, were presented in the duet from "The Tempest" en titled "While You Here Do Snoring Lie" with recorder ac companiment by the three Windts, Mr. and Mrs. Bernard Windt and their son, Peter. The combination of the two voices, pleasingly blended and the plaintive notes of the recorders, resulted in a beautiful perform ance of this number. The work of the string quar tet augmented With flute, added musical weight to the program. Richard D. Werner and Harlalee Wilson were the violinists, Mau reen Rice the violist and Bern ard Windt the cellolst. They were assisted by Mainer Hines, actor-musician who plays the flute for the first group. Smooth Ensemble These musicians, whose skill as Individual performers is such that they needed but few re hearsals to weld themselves into a smooth-sounding ensemble, played a John Dowland suite, and "Ayre" by Orlando Gib bons. The quartet later present ed a group of three composi tions by Andrea Gabrieli taken from his "Madrigali et Ricer carl di Andrea Gabrieli A Quar to Voci. " Comedy highlight of the pro gram was Richard Weber's per formance of the monologue, "May Day" from "The Knight of the Burning Pestle." Young Weber's comedy playing has de lighted playgoers this season, and his work did so again last night. Closing numbers were a per formance of the cora'nto by the dance group, and "Green sleeves" sung as the finale by the entire company. No more fitting number than ' this fam ous old ballad known in Shakes peare's time could have been found. Walk Through Audience , t As the players took their leave of their host and hostess they left the stage, each was given a lighted candle and then walked up through the audience, saying goodnight to friends. All then remained at the back of the shell for a time and greeted audience members as they left Philip Hanson was general di rector, Bernard Windt, musical director, and William G. Ball directed the dancers, whose per formances this year have seem ed more accomplished than in past seasons. Angus L. Bowmer and Hanson directed the play ers. v A group of 11 recorder players provided accompani ment for the dancers and the Madrigal singers. Recorder mu sic has become more and more a part of the festival, and added immeasurably to last night's program. O.S.
