DISTINGUISHED SERVICE AWARD BALLOT
MAIL TO:
Mr. Ben Hyman
715 W. P’tree St., N.W.
Atlanta, Georgia 30308
I recommend that the Gate City Lodge B’nai B’rith
Distinguished Service Award be presented to:
because
Signed by
Behind the Footlights
Critics usually seem more
adept at explicatives than su
perlatives, probably because he
has more practice panning than
praising.
This one has tried valiantly to
build on the positive side which
means holding back on one score
and giving the “go” sign on the
other sometimes with more kind
ness than candor.
This week, the assignment is
easy — two performances which
merit top reactions—and no hold
ing back.
ART EXHIBIT
AT AJCC
An exhibition of contemporary
watercolors and graphics circu
lated by the Jewish Museum in
New York is on display at the
Atlanta Jewish Community Cen
ter until February 7.
The works are being shown in
conjunction with Hadassah’s Edu
cation Week and will be on dis
play daily except January 31
when the collection will be
moved to the Marriott Motor
Hotel for Hadassah’s Education
Day program.
There are woodcuts and wash
drawings by Leonard Baskin, a
lithograph by Larry Rivers,
watercolor and pen drawings by
Chaim Gross, a pen and ink
drawing by Seymor Drumlevitch.
Also * included are woodcuts by
Itzak Sankowsky, John Ross and
Clare Romano—some of the best
known contemporary American
Graphic Artists.
The Center hours are: Mon
day—Thursday, 9. a.m.-ll p.m.;
Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.; Satur
day, 7 p.m. to 11 p.m. and Sun
day, 9:30 a.m. to 11 p.m.
Southern Ballet
Performance Set
For January 29
Twenty years ago, Pittman
Cory and Karen Conrad had an
idea—to come home to Atlanta,
raise a family and establish a
ballet company.
The dancing group they found
ed and nurtured for the past two
decades will mark its twentieth
anniversary with a special per
formance this weekend at the
Municipal Auditorium.
The programs will be present
ed Saturday evening, Jan. 29, and
, Sunday afternoon, Jan. 30. Five
of the seven productions are new,
and one of them has a Southern
theme. It is “Show Boat Senario,”
based on the Edna Ferber story
and set to music by Jerome Kern.
Regional ballet groups like the
Southern Ballet enable young
dancers to perform through high
school, college and even after
marriage, without having to
leave home for New York to sat
isfy the creative drive of this
form of art.
Farhand Branch 611
To Meet Sunday
Farband jBranch 611 will meet
at 8:00 p. m., Sunday, Jan. 30,
at the home of Mrs. Louis
Gershon.
Bingo and cards will be played
after the meeting, with proceeds
going to the Jew : sh National
Fund. Door prizes will be award
ed. JNF chairmen Shirley Kan-
del and Bella Neuhaus urge
members to bring the JNF Blue
Boxes to this meeting.
PIONEER WOMEN I
MEETING FEB. 9
Pioneer Women Club I will
meet at 1:30 p.m., Wednesday,
Feb. 9, al the home of Mrs. Ida
Goncher, 1115 University Dr.,
N.E.
The program will celebrate
Arbor Day and planting of trees
will take place. Mrs. Rose
Liebling, president, invites mem
bers and friends to attend.
Regrettably, it ia too late for
readers to enjoy the AJCC con
cert by folk singer Bill Johnson.
It took place about a fortnight
ago before a cozy and all too-
small audience. Mr. Johnson, a
Negro singer, surprised his lis
teners and enchanted them no
end by his knowledge—and use
of Yiddish idiom with great and
charming gusto and abandon.
The Hebrew and Yiddish songs
he presented had wide variety
and appeal. But the “hamishe”
concert is over and readers at
best can only anticipate a return
performance or hear him in
another community. He had quite
a triumph in Columbia, we hear.
There’s still time to catch “A
Touch of the Poet” at Wittow’s
Academy Theater out on Roswell
Road. This Eugene O’Neill drama
has inspired such excellence in
casting and acting by the Acad
emy Theatre cast et al., that the
only word for the terrific per
formance is “theater magic.”
Never in this theater-goer’s
recollection — some thirty-odd
years—has Atlanta had such a
stellar local performance, where
script and direction and casting
and performance jelled so won
derfully and so expertly. Even
the Broadway production of
ATOTP did not excell this of
fering. And rarely have traveling
actors brought a better perform
ance to these confines—as good
yes—but not better.
Frank Wittow, who directs and
acts in the drama, is fabulous as
are the two leading feminine ac
tors—Page Lee and Nancy Ed
wards. Jo Demmond and George
Boling and the full list of the bit
parts are superb.
You can still catch this show
on Thursday, Friday and Satur
day—but hurry with your reserv
ations. The play deserves SRO
signs nightly and the word about
the excellence is traveling fast.
There’s an alternate
and Wednesday matinee—chuck
for the dates—through February
12, when full rehearsals start tor
the next offering — Molierp’s.
