MLDFOHD, ORLGON OBITUARIES SUNDAY, JANUARY 13. 1U63 a production of Gilbert and , It it always dilllcult for in "e mmaao" witiv experienced amateurs to stay """'a penormer In the on the tame stage with a real of Ko-Ko would be as nrn. hni otii nt th ln.al role certain of failure as a eunuch In a harem. But fortunately F r 1 rt a v night's production of the dur- atiie light opera by the Phil harmonic Society of Southern Oregon had a superb Ko-Ko, though the society had to go to San Francisco to get him. Keith Bentley is a profes sional, and his experience, tal ent and training showed to delightful advantage in what, without him, might have bor dered on a lackluster produc tion. To the huge enjoyment of the sizeable first night audi ence at Medford High school's auditorium, Bentley bounced, rolled, slid, jumped, darted' and danced about the stage In the role which offers con siderable latitude to any per former able to live up to it. Nearly Singular As the Lord High Execu tioner, who moaned dejected ly at one point, "I can't kill nything," Bentley was near Jy singular in his ability to look, act and move like a Japanese. Unhappily, some of the other performers looked like nothing quite so much as aouthern Oregonianj in itrange clothing. He wore hit costume - and his role -. with Verve. pro, performers managed the feat, and a few did it with ease. The best voice we heard all night was that of Tresa Mat- lack, who as the romantic in' terest Yum-Yum, was a visually appealing as she was pleasant to listen to. Prob. ably her best scene was when she was preparing for her wedding to Nanki-Pop, Marveled at Beauty She sat center stage, ex amined herself in the mirror, marveled at her own beauty anrf concluded objec t i v e 1 y that she was more fair than any other woman in the world. "Nature rejoices In her loveliness. I am a child of na ture and take after my moth er," she reasoned with dead pan logic. Mrs. Matlack was flanked in the production by Diana Hunter as Pitti-Sing and Lee Anne Allen at Peep-Bo. To gether the three made an at tractive trio of tiny, loose wrapped bundles-of pulchri tude. Everett Windsor made an agreeable Nanki-Poo, and his voice, particularly in "Wan dering Minstrel I," was true and clear. However, too fre quently it lacked power, and occasionally was drowned The GROTTO Sunday Lunch Served 1 1 am - 4 pm SUNDAY MENU Roast Turkey With Sage Dressing....$1.50 Baked Ham With Candied Yami $1.50 Fried Chicken $1.25 PLUS ALL THE SALAD YOU CAN EAT Real Good Italian and American Dinners Served from 4 P.M. to 10 P.M.

RE RELEASE JACK STONS AT THE HAMMOND ORGAN 7:30 COMING JAN. 20, "A TASTE OF HONEY" out by the orchestra. Some sharper stage direction would have improved his perform ance. Too many of his lines were delivered into the wings, to the vast annoyance of at least this part of the audience. Strong. Clear Voice Maynard Hadlcy as the multi-purpose Pooh-Bah (Lord High practically everything) and David Dcller as Pish Tush more than compensated with their strong, clear voices for their shortcomings as actors. They were particularly effective in the scene when, from opposite sides of the stage, they bounced the three little maids back and forth with the force of their voices. Handsomely costumed, Sue Boc as Katisha and Don Lewis as the Mikado solidly abetted the total production. The choruses were, as one might logically expect, the weakest part of the perform ance, loo often thoy failed to move in unison. One might have wished for more interest and reaction from them to the activities of the principles. And the women looked so sol emn. How they might have brightened some of the scenes if they had only smiled more often. Sullivan's Trademark The orchestra, directed bv K. i). Werner, captured, with only an infrequent lapse, that particular lilt and rhythm that is the trademark of Sul livan's music. As a matter of fact, the finale, with the whole cast moving colorfully on stage, was a rouser, and Werner had them going full tilt. "The Mikado" constitutes such a vast improvement over last year's "H.M.S. Pinafore" that light opera lovers in the area should look forward with real anticipation to the soci ety's next effort. We congrat ulate the society on its prog ress - nd on its production. -G. H. B.
