Whittemore, Love Concert Pleases Audience By ELEANOR EHLERS A spectacular cure for the Feb ruary humdrums, or any other kind, for that matter, was pre sented Monday night. Whittemore and Lowe's concert was the most a superlative offering. These men are the genuine article, real musicians who do not allow themselves to become trapped in one little pigeonhole or specialty, they can play anything with a freshness of interpretation and a readily apparent enjoyment. Maybe one of the secrets is that they like and respect their audi ences and want to give them pleasure. Jack Lowe said, for in stance, that when they play "Stars In My Eyes," they hear it as a beautiful melody, worthy of a sym-! pathetic rendition. And it is true. When they play it, it is no long er just da da dee da: those stars glisten like new. : It would be easy to meander off into a description of these two, with adjectives such as witty, handsome, charming: versatile, Sophisticated, personable, and even Eood-looking, but let's be ob jectivethey ere simply enchant ing. The combination of easy go ing humor and Uiat dynamic style create a stunning performance. It does not matter how many tweeters or woofers your hi-fi has, or how many channels come crowding into your TV, you are not going to have this wonderful expe rience of communication with out standing personalities anyplace but in the concert hall. On tele vision, for instance, they might play one or two tantalizing num bers, and then here come the per forming poodles.

MOLATORE'S 100 Main tation The program was made up largely of selections from the Ro mantic period, with melodious Schubert waltzes as the opener, Next was Ravel's Mother Goose Suite." His impressionistic har monies gave an entirely new charm to the venerable lady's stories, and the gentle, artful mu sic would beguile any child, even a middle-aged one, With Brahms' "Variations on a Theme of Hay dn" (which may have been a theme by Pleyel) the artists be gan to display more of the broad scope of their technique. After the intermission Arthur Whittemore announced that they would play what they felt like playing in the third group: "Music of Today." First was a stylish Sonata" by Francis Poulenc, who has, until his very recent death, been an outstanding French com poser. Next was Grenados' "The Lover and the Nightingale," which caused considerable figura tive swooning in the audience, and no wonder, with such shimmer ing beauty. I There had been a request for "a little Bartok," so we heard the very appealing "New Hungar- what they felt like, they felt like playing it again. This time it seemed that the classification should be "Music to Throw Your self Under a Locomotive By." It's too violent for just a revolver. No matter what the name, it must be excellent exercise for passing the thumb under the other fin gers, (joke). Last came the aforementioned "Stars in My Eyes," by Kreis- ler, pure schmaltz, but very well done, and dedicated to the hus bands who were reluctantly pres ent. As encores, the pianists played Copeland's rabble-rousing Celebration Dance" from the ballet "Billy the Kid" (more ex citing than "Gunsmoke" or "Pala din"), and a version of "That Old Black Magic" in a beguine tempo, Ph.

At the May meeting, Mrs. Rice is scheduled to speak on "Emo tional Disturbances in Reading" and Mrs. Thayer on "Reading by Syllables." the like of which is enough to cause even the most staid musical classicist to get "all shook up, pleasantly, of course. Sometimes Debussy's "Prelude to the Afternoon of a Faun" pre sents only a languid, moony crea ture, moping about the forest or wherever. For this reason, it was especially interesting to hear Whit temore and Lowe play this selec tion. Their faun seemed sinewy and vigorous, a real protagonist. The more-than-two-piano tone was especially outstanding in this num ber. Last on the program was the dazzling and smashing "Mephisto Waltz" by that old dazzler and smasher, Franz Liszt, who ought to be very pleased at the way it was played, f our generous en cores were played: "Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring," by J. S. Bach "Liebesfreud," by Fritz Kriesler; 'March," from "Love of Three Oranges," by Prokofieff; and "Bolero," by Ravel. Speaking of that last number: it is probable that everybody who was at the concert will, sooner or later, have to try that drum effect with the left hand inside the piano holding the string muted, and the right hand on the keyboard. Anyway, that's what the young fry here are doing. (You kids get both hands back on the keyboard.) It was a wonderful concert; if you missed it you missed some thing really good.

Mount Shasta Repeals Annexation Agreement MOUNT SHASTA-At the Feb. 25 meeting of Mount Shasta City Council members voted to repeal the controversial requirement for the water-users agreement with the city, leaving the annexation clause out. The city of Mount Shas ta and residents of Palmer Road have been in heated debate for some time over this issue. Residents of the road chose to be outside the city and resented be ing asked to sign an agreement to annex, if and when such pro ceedings Mere started. The Yreka court finally took over, a law suit ensued, and water was shut off for a time. Those submitting water agreement requests will not be forced to sign anything else, coun cil decided. Council voted in favor of legis lation proposed by Assemblywom an Pauline Davis and Senator Randolph Collier regarding funds for Box Canyon Dam, and adopted resolution to endorse Senate Bill No. 344, which authorizes a larger amount of gas tax money for maintaining city roads and streets. The new bill will autho rize 80 per cent rather than a proposed 40 per cent.
