William Carter, a retired Company To Appear On Sunday An unusual feature of the Festival Company of Norway, which will appear here Sun day, February 28, for Jackson County Civic Music associa tion, is the inclusion in its programs of choreographed dramas, based on legends. It is stated that the staging of these requires much acting ability as well as skill with the dance and music. A leading role with the Fes- tival company is played by one of the foremost actors of that country, Toralv Maur stad. Son of the celebrated Al fred Maurstad world-famous exponent of Peer Gynt, Tor alv brings to America a rich personality and an unusual histrionic talent that has made him the talk of Oslo, capital of Norway. Sharing honors with him will be Erna Skaug, lyric so prano of the Internationally renowned Bergen Festival. Seventeen other performing artists round out the Festival Company of Norway, among them the dancers Ornulf and Dorothe Oiseth and Brit and Aksel Stokke, husband-and-wife exponents of the coun try's most demanding folk ' -i aanues. The regisseur of the Fes tival Company of Norway, Barthold Halle, one of Nor way's most talented stage di rectors, has risen to promi nence during the last few years. He has produced and staged productions for opera, drama, musicals and for radio. A special thrill will come with the playing of the Har danger fiddle, often called the national instrument of Norway. Though it looks like a more gaily designed version of the conventional violin, it produces a completely dif ferent tone, heady and deeply expressive. Three of Norway's leading players of the Har danger fiddle will be on hand to add a touch of gaiety to the event. Curtain time is 8 p.m. Paris Rebel Lucy Man guin, who traditionally re leases pictures of her fashions in advance to other Paris de signers, uses apron drapery to achieve the tunic look for spring.
