Strong 'Ko-Ko' Performer in

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

"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.
