Mere, There awl Everywhere
By SIG DIGREE
We. have refrained from offer
ing reviews of events that took
place weekends in that news val
ue is lost due to the passage of
time.
This past week is an exception.
Two different forms of entertain
ment were enjoyed, and both of
such calibre we cannot let them
go without a short review at
least. We refer to the comedy
“Fresh Fields,” and the appear
ance of the two artists in the
Music Trails concert Monday
night.
High school plays are usually
attended with a certain amount of
parental indulgence* the fun of
seeing many you know in the
cast, the pleasure derived from a
flesh and blood performance, and
the hilarious mistakes made by
amateurs performing for the first
time before the footlights.
The performance “Fresh
Fields” differed from the ordinary
school play. It sometimes and fre
quently reached the status of
professional. Lines were spoken
with complete mastery, offering
shades of expression, gesture, af
fectations where called for, aftd
good characterization.
We didn’t care too much for
the vehicle, and felt some good
talent was being wasted on medi
ocre lines. We would have liked to
have seen these young actors with
some “meaty” lines that called
for good dramatization befitting
their obvious talents. But we wont
quibble about that. Suffice it to
say, the actors and actresses in
making their appearances, ac
quited themselves very well. Jill
Acheson, as usual, turned in an
excellent performance; Barbara
Cooper, too, was most effective as
Lady Masry Crabbe. Sharon Van
Buren was another who delighted
with her characterization of Mrs.
Pigeon. The others—Sam Molletti,
the Church of God, the Assembly
of God, Kodiak Christian Center
and the Community Baptist
Chur oh.
This full-length two hours)
brilliant color production is based
on the novel, “Wine of Morning,”
written by Dr. pob Jones, Jr., who
is president of Bob Jones Univer
sity, an international, fundament
al institution which draws nearly
3,000 students from every state
and some twenty five foreign
countries. Unusual Films of Bob
Jones University, Greenville,
South Carolina, produced the mo
tion picture.

A MUSICAL DELIGHT
Joy Kim and Glade Peterson,
soprano and tenor duo appearing
last Monday in the last of the
Music Trails concerts, lived up to
their advance billings. They gave
brilliant performances in a de
lightfully varied program of ope
ratic arias.
The two artists, bedecked in
costumes, re-enacted scenes from
“L Boheme” and “Madame Butter
fly.” Solos and duets comprised a
program of great charm, offering
ear and eye appeal. Miss Joy Kim,
the Korean “Butterfly,” sang her
songs with great feeling and per
sonal enjoyment. The audience's
delight was evidenced by the ring
ing applause that followed her
every number, as it did that of
Glade Peterson.
We mention this concert in par
ticular because we wouldn't want
to see the Music Trails concerts
discontinued for lack of a spon
