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. (Plug: Call

nity Concert membership or get
a new one, while you still can.)
You may think from the pre
ceding that your reviewer was so
bemused by the personalities in
volved that no attention was paid

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,

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. To insure your
self against similar losses in the
future, call Community Concert
headquarters right now and re
serve your membership for next

As for you, Mr. Whittemore and
Mr. Lowe, your enthusiastic audi
ence told you how very much plea
sure, enjoyment and delight you
gave thm. Please do come back
at your earliest convenience. May-j
be next week?

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.
In other business, Howard Prid
dy was apponted as executive of
ficer to review bills and other leg
islative action and report to the
council. It was agreed to give
Mt. Shasta Ski Patrol $100 for
portable radio equipment for
mountain rescue work. Council
authorized the planning commis
sion to study the over-all park
ing in downtown areas, with load
ing problems to receive top atten
tion. Police Chief Harold Barnum told
the group there are illegal stop
Signs and yellow zones that were
authorized several years ago and
are no longer practical, and that a
study should be made of the situa
tion. A study of recodification of
the city's obsolete ordinances was
authorized for next year's budget.
