COMMUNITYMAMA Montgomery Flayers at 25 Still Have Old Dilemmas ~NEWS OF MUSIC Army Band Becomes True Ensemble^ BY JAMES ROWLAND When an amateur theatrical ¦roup passes its quarter-century mark, the unsuspecting will usu- ally risk the assumption that time has erased all growing pains. A nice thought, granted, but not one to be applied to Mont- gomery Players. The spirit is Just as high as on founder’s day but obstacles—old and new—- continually arise. “At first we could store prop- erties in the school and pay about S3O rental for each pro- duction,” explained Jane Plum- mer Rice, one of the organizers, in describing facilities at Leland Junior High School. "Through the years they’ve made us move all our material. The rent has gone to around SIOO a play, so we can afford to run only two nights.” “We used to serve coffee back- stage after final performances,” added Frances Bpruce, player and director. “Then they said the hall would have to do. That was too small. Now food is re- stricted to the' cafeteria so we won’t serve anything. “The stage is all width, very little depth. Sometimes during rehearsals and a performance we’ve had to compete with a basketball game on a court ad- joining the stage.” The Montgomery County Board of Education has given sympathetic hearings to the handicaps but remedies have not been found. Trying to get the county’s youngsters in available classrooms during daytime hours is a king-sized job in Itself. ** * * “Right now we’re looking for young blood to take over opera- tions,” Miss Rice said. “Some of us have been around so long it’s just becoming too much to han- dle.” “Most persons at tryouts want to act, and if they can’t, they disappear.” Miss Spruce ex- plained. “They don’t realize how much one can learn backstage. Besides, it’s often more fun as there’s a lot more freedom back there.” A community theater building is the longed-for solution. Resi- dents who could help financially lack Interest, and those who want to help can’t afford it. “You’d be surprised how many persons out here depend on ama- teur theater as their only contact with the legitimate stage," Miss Rice exclaimed. “We still have subscribers who helped us start in that first depression year.” It’s not a very rosy picture one forms frem this series of trials, but Mongomery Players has met each in such away as to make its name synonymous with the best in local amateur acting. Talent and determination, rather than a physical plant, are the valued assets that have car- ried the players through one sea- son after another. They take particular pride in their sets, too, using such sd- jectives as "unique and “au- thentic.” The group closes its 26th sea- son this week end, though mem- bers will continue to meet throughout the summer. The final- play is “As Husbands Go,” a comedy by Rachel Crothers, directed by Tod Triem. Appearing at 8:45 p.m. Friday and 8:30 p.m. Saturday will be Bev Guenther, Elayhe Schoc&et, Pat Smith, Jim Pittman, Hazel Rodler, John Gealy, Dave Scott, Win Baxter, Ed Finlayaon, Rita Lowe, Sam Jones and Fred Wal- ton. ** * * ADDENDA: Also completing its current season this week are the Oakton Hamsters, with the comedy "The Man Who Came to Dinner.” . . .

Gordon Jacob. Music-making of a high order last night showed that the Army Band has come a long way in the last two seasons. From a disorganized group of no great artistic standards and of little personality, it has grown into a true musical ensemble that shows a band Is something more than a poor imitation of a sym- phony orchestra. “Music for a Festival,” an 11-movement suite for band by the noted English composer Gordon Jacob, is an interesting and capable composition. Its sec- tions alternate between the full Westfall's cast includes John Riordan, Lorette Hippie. Ann Siler, Floyd Dominy, Betty Far- well, Tom Upchurch, Nelson Sievering, Eugene Murphy, Emily Corse and Joan Merrick.

In general, it is perhaps un- wise to compare the many char- acteristic effects Jacob gets from the band with the'sound of a standard symphony orchestra: but there is a novelty in the band that cannot be gainsaid, and it gives the impression of being a legitimate and success- ful medium for music no less individual than the string quar- tet, the mixed chorus or the symphony. The overture of the 18th-cen- tury composer Mehul was also originally written for band, but a band that could have shared ADVERTISEMENT. Our fault We did it and we’re sad!

Leontyne Price, among the finest sopranos now before the public, was on hand to sing three standard operatic arias, strangely out of place in the company of the fresh music that Maj.

CAMPBELL Philadelphia Orchestra, Eugene Ormandy. conductor. In Constitution Hall. Program: Concerto Grosso No. lor strings. Bloch: Symphony No. 7. 'Op. 02, Beethoven: Symphony No. 2. Op. 73. Brahms. Although Ernest Bloch, him- self, considers it superficial .to associate the term "classical” with his new “Concerto Grosso, THE EVENING STAR, Washington, D. C. WEDNESDAY, APRIL.Jfc 1888 Ho. 2 for itrthgs,” which opened, lust night's Philadelphia Orches- tra concert, there are connota- tions often associated with the “neo-classical” in music that are too strong here to be overlooked Bernard Rogers has alluded to the “sober colors the “learning and discipline,” and the “con- trapuntal control” of Bloch in the work. It may be added that along with, these qualities, Bloch has achieved formal compactness, harmonic clarity, and transpar- ent texture in the string scoring that work miracles of refreshing, invigorating sound. The concert closed last night’s program with an equally re- warding performance of Brahms’ 1,1 V* T'” ¦] iscoM Symphony. These mao are masters of & amiably turned phrase, tba grand dad . mellow sweep, the jagged and rather turgid imftflaes of energy that make the Brahms D major , symphony an appealing, even if occasionally ponderous, musical experience. If the strongest impulses in the Brahms are those of an im- posing but thoroughly human creature, those of Beethoven In his Seventh Symphony are of a titanic, almost superhuman be- ing. Although the dance, in ita broader implications, is a deep and many-faceted art, it has always seemed understatement to me to refer to this great work ps “the apotheosis of the dance.” Films of More Than Routine Merit “THE DETECTIVE”—PIayed with his accustomed skill by Alec Guinness. “NIGHTPEOPLE”—Gregory Peek foils the Communists in Berlin. “ON THE WATERFRONT”—MarIon Brando in the year’s Acad- emy Award Q|m. “PHFFFT”—Lightweight farce salvaged by Judy Holliday’s deft comedy. “SEVEN BRIDES FOR SEVEN BROTHERS”—I9S4’s most joy- ous musical. “20,000 LEAGUES UNDER THE SEA”—Jules Verne embellished by Walt Disney. ¦ ORIVEIR THEATERS*.

Army Band BecomesTrue Ensemble^BY JAMES ROWLAND

When an amateur theatrical¦roup passes its quarter-centurymark, the unsuspecting will usu-ally risk the assumption thattime has erased all growingpains.

A nice thought, granted, butnot one to be applied to Mont-gomery Players. The spirit isJust as high as on founder’s day

but obstacles—old and new—-continually arise.

“At first we could store prop-erties in the school and payabout S3O rental for each pro-duction,” explained Jane Plum-mer Rice, one of the organizers,

in describing facilities at LelandJunior High School.

"Through the years they’vemade us move all our material.The rent has gone to aroundSIOO a play, so we can afford torun only two nights.”

“We used to serve coffee back-stage after final performances,”added Frances Bpruce, playerand director. “Then they saidthe hall would have to do. Thatwas too small. Now food is re-stricted to the' cafeteria so wewon’t serve anything.

“The stage is all width, verylittle depth. Sometimes duringrehearsals and a performancewe’ve had to compete with abasketball game on a court ad-joining the stage.”

The Montgomery CountyBoard of Education has givensympathetic hearings to thehandicaps but remedies have notbeen found. Trying to get thecounty’s youngsters in availableclassrooms during daytime hoursis a king-sized job in Itself.

“Right now we’re looking foryoung blood to take over opera-tions,” Miss Rice said. “Some ofus have been around so long it’sjust becoming too much to han-dle.”

“Most persons at tryouts wantto act, and if they can’t, they

disappear.” Miss Spruce ex-plained. “They don’t realize howmuch one can learn backstage.Besides, it’s often more fun asthere’s a lot more freedom backthere.”

A community theater buildingis the longed-for solution. Resi-dents who could help financiallylack Interest, and those whowant to help can’t afford it.

“You’d be surprised how manypersons out here depend on ama-teur theater as their only contactwith the legitimate stage," MissRice exclaimed. “We still havesubscribers who helped us startin that first depression year.”

It’s not a very rosy picture oneforms frem this series of trials,but Mongomery Players has meteach in such away as to makeits name synonymous with thebest in local amateur acting.

Talent and determination,rather than a physical plant, arethe valued assets that have car-ried the players through one sea-son after another.

They take particular pride intheir sets, too, using such sd-jectives as "unique and “au-thentic.”

The group closes its 26th sea-son this week end, though mem-bers will continue to meetthroughout the summer. Thefinal- play is “As Husbands Go,”a comedy by Rachel Crothers,directed by Tod Triem.

Appearing at 8:45 p.m. Fridayand 8:30 p.m. Saturday will beBev Guenther, Elayhe Schoc&et,Pat Smith, Jim Pittman, HazelRodler, John Gealy, Dave Scott,Win Baxter, Ed Finlayaon, RitaLowe, Sam Jones and Fred Wal-ton.

In general, it is perhaps un-wise to compare the many char-acteristic effects Jacob gets fromthe band with the'sound of astandard symphony orchestra:but there is a novelty in theband that cannot be gainsaid,and it gives the impression ofbeing a legitimate and success-ful medium for music no lessindividual than the string quar-tet, the mixed chorus or thesymphony.

with its counterpart of todayonly trombones, bassoons, oboes,tympahl and possibly clarinets.Yet the piece, arranged thoughit was for modern performance,

had the unmistakable fee! ofwind music, and was entertain-ing from beginning to end.

As for the double trumpet con-certo of Vivaldi, it probably isan arrangement or even an out-right hoax, although certainlyprepared by somebody that hasa good knowlede of 18th-cen-tury trumpet technique.

Leontyne Price, among thefinest sopranos now before thepublic, was on hand to singthree standard operatic arias,strangely out of place in thecompany of the fresh musicthat Maj. Hugh Curry, the con-ductor. had dug up for theband. Nevertheless, it was apleasure to hear Miss Pricesing, for she has a voice ofpower, beauty and control.

Although Ernest Bloch, him-self, considers it superficial .toassociate the term "classical”with his new “Concerto Grosso,

THE EVENING STAR, Washington, D. C.WEDNESDAY, APRIL.Jfc 1888

Ho. 2 for itrthgs,” which opened,

lust night's Philadelphia Orches-tra concert, there are connota-tions often associated with the“neo-classical” in music that aretoo strong here to be overlookedBernard Rogers has alluded tothe “sober colors ” the “learningand discipline,” and the “con-trapuntal control” of Bloch inthe work.

It may be added that alongwith, these qualities, Bloch hasachieved formal compactness,harmonic clarity, and transpar-

ent texture in the string scoringthat work miracles of refreshing,invigorating sound.

The concert closed last night’sprogram with an equally re-warding performance of Brahms’

If the strongest impulses inthe Brahms are those of an im-posing but thoroughly humancreature, those of Beethoven Inhis Seventh Symphony are of atitanic, almost superhuman be-ing. Although the dance, in itabroader implications, is a deep

and many-faceted art, it hasalways seemed understatementto me to refer to this great workps “the apotheosis of the dance.”
