Newspaper Page TextTWO MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Friday, April 13. 1956 Program Announced For Sunday Gustav Mahler's massive "Symphony No. 3 in D Minor" will be the featured work on the program of the New York Philharmonic-Symphony on its KYJC-CBS Radio broadcast, Sunday, April 15 at 11:30 AM 1:00 PM, PST. Musical Director Dimitri Mitropoulos will return to the Philharmonic for this broadcost to begin the last three weeks of the current season. The Mahler Third Symphony has never been broadcast by the Philharmonic before. Assisting in the performance of this work will be the mezzo-soprano Beat rice Krebs and the Women's chorus of the Westminister Choir, directed by Dr. John Finley Williamson. Perhaps because Mahler wrote this work in a woodland hut, the symphony has been given many connotations of nature and was originally entitled "A Sum mer Morning's Dream." The The fourth movement of this six-movement symphony is a song for contralto solo and or chestra, the text of which is the "Night Wanderer's Song" from Nietzche's "Also Sprach Zarathustra." The Fifth move ment is a setting of a poem from the "Des Knabe Wunderhorn," the famous anthology of German folk poetry. The First, Second, Third and Sixth Movements are purely orchestral. Maestro Mitropoulos will opan the broadcast program with Respighi's transcription of the "Prelude and Fugue in D Major" originally written for organ. Ella Fitzgerald, Nell Rankin, mezzo-soprano of the Metropol itan Opera, Jim McPartland and his Dixieland band, and popular baritone Steve Lawrence will present "What's New In Music" on KYJC-CBS Radio's "The Woolworth H o u r," Sunday, April 15 at 1:00-2:00 PM, PST. Miss Fitzgerald, will perform with a trio some of the jazz songs she has made famous. Miss Rankin will sing the great aria "O Dou Fatale" from Verdi's "Don Carlos" and with the Wool worth orchestra and chorus, the closing hymn. Jim McaPrtland, one of the leading exponents of Dixieland jazz, will play two numbers. Percy Faith will present a vocal version of the No. 1 in strumental favorite of the na tion, "Poor People of Paris." He will also conduct the Woolworth orchestra and chorus in other numbers. crrwU "Rare Entertainment Offered by Ballet Troupe By FRANCES BULKIN Entertainment of a caliber rare to the vicinity was offered last night at Ashland when the San Francisco Ballet company .appeared in its first of two val ley performances. The other will be today at 8:30 p.m., in Hed rick Junior High school. Only one of the ballets, "Con Amore,' will be repeated from last night's program. Tickets will be available at the box office. The typically American danc ing was done by young dancers with typically American faces. Choreography by Lew Christen sen, the noted ballet director, who accompanies them, is in the modern school. Those who attend tonight's performance should not go ex pecting to see the classic ballet of "Swan Lake," or the "Nut cracker Suite," but they should not be disappointed if they go with open minds. For they will see ballet done in what is be coming a traditionally Ameri can manner. Though deftly done it appears lieht and breezy, as is to be ex pected in our way of execution. As in any company the prin cipals carry the load. To name favorites is a matter of personal opinion. If there are choices, however, tall, vigorous Sally Bailey, and Conrad Ludlow, who has a quiet understanding and feel of the dance, are firsts. Has Finesse Nancy Johnson, possibly not as spectacular as Miss Bailey, has finesse and artistry. Blond Richard Carter lends a youthful vim, and in Christiane Bering's presentation it appears she al ready is well on the way to ris ing heights. Costuming is bright and cheery, styled with originality and of rich materials. Though the leading dancers may carry the load they could not carry the show were they not supported by a capable corps. In the corps are Fiona Fuerst ner, Virginia Johnson, Roderick Drew, Bene Arnold, Constance Coler, Louise Lawler, Suki Scho rer, Gloria Cancilla, Julian Her rin, Tilly Abbe and Glen Chad wick. Many Directors Leon . Kalimos is company manager and personnel is made Valley Musicians To Play Final Concert for Season Three To Attend Tacoma Meeting Three women will represent Rogue Valley Area Girl Scout council at the first meeting of presidents and professionals in Region 11.

Earl McGuire, carpenter and Charles Carman, electrician. The group arrived here from Eureka, Calif., and is on an 11 performance tour. They will also appear at Eugene and Klamath Falls. On tonight's program in Med f o r d in addition to "Con Amore," are "Concerte Baroc co," with music by J. S. Bach, and "A Masque of Beauty and the Shepherd," music by C. W. von Gluck. Something lacking last night and which will be again tonight is the "atmosphere" of a real theater. But after-show conver sation revealed that these young artists are dedicated to their work, not just to dance, nor even to dance just before more sophisticated audiences who might better understand their artistry, but to take ballet to every vicinity to integrate this new heritage into our way of life. As Anna Pavlova dedicated her life to touring the ends of the earth to introduce ballet (she died unexpectedly of pneumo nia while yet on tour) these dancers are pioneering in the reaches of America.
