Author-Genius
Good Husband;
Wife Declares
Br MARY PRIME
United Press International
New York -(LTD- Life with
a genius is less difficult than
with most husbands, says Mrs.
Sean O'Casey.
Her husband, the Irish au
thor and playwright, works
at home, but he is far from
the temperamental type most
persons imagine a genius to
be.
"Sean is very easy to live
with. He's a very quiet man,
regular about his meals, not
erratic, and not moody. Only
when he nears the completion
of a book or play does a mood
come over him. Then he's
completely silent. But the rest
of the time, he's rather gay
and sings a lot," said Mrs
O'Casey, a tall, attractive wo
man who retains traces of
striking beauty. Her figure is
trim, and her hair a youthful
auburn, dramatically streak
ed with gray.
She is spending a fortnight
here as a stand-in for her hus
' band at the opening of two of
his plays, "Cock-a-Doodle
Dandy" and "Shadow of a
Gunman."
"It's a pity Sean couldn't
come. There's no doubt his
heart wanted to come, but he
just wasn't up to it," said his
wife.
The couple lives in an apart
ment in Torquay-by-the-Sea,
Devon, England. Although
Mrs. O'Casey was born in Du
blin, she has lived in England
since she was a baby and has
visited Ireland only about
three times, once on her
honeymoon "30 or 31 years
ago-I'm very bad at figures."
As actress Eileen Carey,
she tried out for one of O'Cas
ey's plays. She got the part
and the author.
She continued her stage
career for about eight years
after their marriage, but the
arrival of their second child
convinced her that being a
mother was a full-time job.
The couple has ' a son,
Breon, who is an artist, and
a daughter, 18-year-old Shiv
aun, who has followed her
mother's footsteps. "S h e
could have picked a less pre
carious profession," said Mrs.
O'Casey.
The author's son and wife
handle most of his business
affairs.
"He has a tremendous cor
respondence. It's quite a full
day, just talking about the
letters," said Mrs. O'Casey.
Philharmonic Orchestra
Plays First Fall Concert
An audience of about 350
persons attended the first con
cert given by the orchestra
of the Philharmonic Society
of Southern Oregon this fall.
Net proceeds of the event are
to go to the building fund of
the Oregon Shakespearean
festival association, but due
to the modest-sized audience,
the sum may not be very
large.
Conductor Richard D.
Werner opened the program
with the "Anakreon over
ture by Cheribini, a melodic
composition which pleased
the audience. C h e r u bini, a
Florentine born in 176 0,
wrote many operas which are
no longer played, but his
overtures are considered
classic masterpieces.
Conductor Werner custo
marily programs a symphonic
number, but this time sub
stituted the interesting "Sym-
Dhonia Concertante" by Mo
zart, featuring the concert
mistress, Audrey Brist Bart-
lett, as violin soloist and him
self playing the viola solos.
Both Mrs. Bartlett and Mr.
Werner are accomplished
musicians, and with Bruno
Pellegrini conduct i n g, the
number was smoothly performed.
It was in this number, how
ever, that the acoustical de
ficiencies of Hedrick Junior
High school, for music, show
ed up most of all. Mozart s
sweet, graceful music must be
played with delicacy and the
cavernous room simply swal
lows up such sound. When the
orchestra was playing at full
number, the sound reached
the audience in fair volume,
but for the solo violin and
viola passages, a great deal
was lost.
After the intermission, Di
rector Werner returned to the
podium to conduct DeBussy's
"Petit Suite." One of the
greatest modern French com
posers and founder of im-
nrpecinniem in m 11 s i r. T)-
" -w 7 - ,
.Bussy s works nave great ap
peal for today's music lovers
and the performance of the
little suite added enjoyment
to yesterday's program.
Considering that the final!
number, (or the entire pro
gram, for that matter) had
had but one rehearsal with
the entire orchestra ' and the
narrator together, the final
number was a triumph. It was
Prokofieff's delightful "Peter
and the Wolf," a musical tale
beloved by both children and
adults. Angus Bowmer of the
Oregon Shakespearean festi
val read the amusing lines
with his usual charm, and
understanding and his voice,
trained by years of projecting
from the outdoor stage at the
Ashland Elizabethan theater,
conquered the hollowness and
echoes of the auditorium and
could be heard distinctly by
everyone.
Nan Wood, Eugene, a truly
first-rate flute player, and
Ron Bartlett, Medford, an ex
cellent clairinetist, enhanced
the music with their flute
musicianship.
All in all, this first concert
was a good one, and particu
larly so considering, as we
said before, that the group as
a whole rehearsed together
only Saturday night before
the concert. Eight musicians,
the flutist, three violinists, a
cellist, one clarinet player and
two horn players, were
brought from Eugene; two
Medford students attending
the University of Oregon
came down to play; and Wil
liam Jelski, Roseburg, first
oboist, (who has been playing
with the orchestra for about
two years,) all had but one
rehearsal with Mr. Werner
and Mr. Pellegrini.
