Duncan (D-Ore) inspected Strategic Air Command headquarters at Offutt Air Force base, Philip Hanson Presents Show To Knife, Fork Club Audience Armenians, at least as Wil- liam Saroyan wrote about them, are r wonderful, zany breed of people whose sheer zest for living is so profound and energetic it makes the rest of us seem phlegmatic and unemotional. In his book, "My Name is Aram," Saroyan collected a series of virtually unrelated anecdotes involving a young Armenian boy of 10 or 12 growing up in the fertile vin- yard country around Fresno, ualit. With skill born of person al knowledge, Saroyan shows the boy Aram discovering things about himself, about the diverse members of his huge family, and about the strange, unfathomable mys teries of life on this green planet. Adopted for Show These "chapters" In young Aram's boyhood when each day is a page in a gloriously written book have been adapted to his one-man show foremat by the veteran Ash land Actor, Philip Hanson He presented It last night before a capacity Knife and Fork club audience at the Rogue Valley Country club. It is difficult to tell where the magic and artistry of Saroyan leaves off and Han son s begins, so admirably and memorably are the two suited to each other. Unique Character One of Saroyan s' fortes Is the development of unique nd distinctive characters. And, of course, those who have seen Hanson work before know that therein lies his un usual talent, too. He has a remarkable facility with a i slight change of posture, voice inflection and pitch, and facial expression of making it ap pear to a dazzled audience that they have seen a host of people on the stage, not lust one man acting several dif ferent characters. Aram lived in a world peo pled by parents, brothers and sisters, grandparents and a fantastic array of uncles and cousins, each different, each a vivid personality, each a strong contributing influence on the growing boy. And Hanson the artist made each of them real and visible and memorable - all without benefit of makeup, stage set ting, props or costume. Real Theater After a slow beginning (Philip, your introduction was pleasant, but too long), the actor's talent and the Imagina tion of the audience fused to gether into an evening of real theater.
