'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

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

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

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

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.
