'Inspiring Experience" s Concert Reviewer Say By JOHN E. DRYSDALE Jackson County Civic Music association provided an inspir ing experience for hundreds of music lovers Friday evening when it presented the Saint Louis Sinfonietta as its final of fering of the current series. Paul Schreiber, the conductor, planned the program to appeal to every listeners' taste, and the result was a delightful variety of musical contrast. The Over ture to "The Marriage of Fig aro" was played with real vi tality, and at a tempo which showed the virtuosity of the strings. Coupling this with the lightness of the woodwinds, a delicate Mozartian sparkle was achieved. The following Haydn Sym phony (No. 94 in G major) was a happy choice, as the original instrumentation called for in Haydn's core is closely related to that of the Sinfonietta. It was during this number that the strings were able to compensate for the excessive warmth on stage, and for the remainder of the concert, practically flawless intonation was obtained. Concerto Played Perhaps the high point of the evening was Kenneth Gordon's performance of the.Bruch "Vio lin Concerto Number 1 in G Mi nor." To thirreviewer, the mark of a fine violinist embodies style, technic, and, above all, pure in tonation. The Bruch concerto demands perfect control of bow ing and of the left hand, with such embellishments as double stops, octaves and tenths. Mr. Gordon simply did not miss. The intricate passages were played effortlessly, and with feeling. His tone was perhaps a little too refined during ,the final movement, but this was undoubt edly due to the heavy cyclorama on stage. It must be mentioned that during this selection it was ex tremely evident that Paul Schreiber has a thorough knowl edge of this concerto and acted as the perfect intermediary be tween violinist and ensemble. Kenneth Gordon's instrument is a Stradivarious made in 1707, and it was a joy to see this fine instrument in the hands of such a capable artist. The audience brought Mr. Gordon back to the stage several times with their applause, and as an encore the violinist play ed the lovely "Liebeslied," by Fritz Kreisfer. Ravel's "Introduction and Al legro" for strings, flute, clari net and harp provided the lis teners with a change of pace, and the rare opportunity to hear a fine harpist. It was clear by the audience reaction that Installation Held By Phoenix Club Phoenix Officers were in stalled at the last meeting of the Phoenix Garden club.

Christine Stavrache had capti vated her listeners with her fine technique and artistry.

Lchar Numberi The final programmed num ber was selections from "The Merry Widow," by Franz Lehar. Sometimes soulful, at others bouyant, the ensemble carried the listeners along the musical avenues of enjoyment.

Hypnosis Used in New York As Beauty Sho By GAY PAULEY United Press Correspondent New York IIP) This week in Manhattan: One psychologist says beauty is more than skin deep. Some times it is so buried it takes hypnosis to bring it out. The man talking is John Ko lisch, a professional hypnotist in troducing something new in the beauty salon business. Kolisch is using the mental approach in trying to improve the physical appearance of customers at Larry Mathews' all-night beauty shop in Times Square. Kolisch said he doesn't guar antee customers who choose to come under his spell they , will walk out of the shop looking like Elizabeth Taylor or Marilyn Monroe. "But all of us live by what we think," said the Vienna-born Ko lisch. "And what we feel and think is what we are. "Women want to feel young. What is beauty anyway, but serenity, harmony and happi ness?" "We know we can help a per son control weight by suggest ing hypnosis; make a person blush or turn pale," he con tinued. "It follows that we can p Treatment make a woman feel young, act and look younger." Before all of us rush to try the hynotic route to glamor, a word of warning. Kolisch doesn't promise miracles. "Some wrinkles do disappear with'a change in woman's think ing," he insisted. "But there are lines which have formed and are physical . . . these will remain. I only help a woman happily overlook them." Said Kolisch: "There is no such thing as old age ... the calendar is a man-made thing." The nation's first lady has turned to prints for additions tp her summer wardrobe. Mollie Parnis, the New York designer, said Mrs. Eisenhower preferred small patterns. Typi cal of her purchases is a dress and jacket . combination with small white daisies on a black background. Mrs. Eisenhower also has or dered a few cottons, with low, cool necklines and short sleeves. All are with full or gored skirt. . "She doesn't like the sheath," said Miss Parnis. "And she doesn't buy a whole new ward robe each season. Mrs. Eisen hower just fills in as needed To keep cheese fresh, wrap It in a cloth moistened with vine gar or cover with paraffin. Some cheeses such as Philadel phia cream can be frozen for storage. .. . she doesn't waste clothes." Fashion of 'the future note: Fifty years hence, we gals may own one dress as an all-purpose costume, eliminating the need for wearing girdle or other un-der-apparel. Designer Adele Simpson has put together such a garment, made of a new elasti cized fabric, for a fashion show to be staged as part of Okla homa's semi-centennial in June. "The fabric is body conform ing," Mrs. Simpson conceded. "But I figured 50 years hence, most women will have, such good figures they can wear it . . . what with all the vitamins we eat and exercise we get." The dress will be included in an Oklahoma City department store's show of fashions when Oklahoma became a state, fash ions now, and 50 years hence.
