A self-closing screen is just one reason why Fella Sliding Class Doors have earned a snug spot in homeowners' hearts. By automatically closing and latching their own screens. And by being energy-tight. The sliding panel of the door is mounted on the outside track, so the harder the wind blows, the tighter it seals. That's a heart-warming idea for homeowners.

On Friday. June 20, that lucky spot was the Atlanta Jewish Commun ity Center. A lively concert by the Georgia State University Brass Quintet entertained Jewish seniors, who had lunched at the Center, and a group of inner-city children, who were bused there from Carver Recreational Center. The concert was sponsored in memory of Frank Stein ot Americus by Mrs. Stein. Because of Stein’s long involve ment as a Shriner, the concert has become an annual event at Scot tish Rite Children’s Hospital. Con struction at the hospital this year meant that another site had to be found, and so the mixed audience at the AJCC became the happy recipients of the event. Children of all ages tapped and clapped through renditions of George Gershwin, excerpts from a Sousa march and snatches of rock ’n roll. The feature of the afternoon was an original composition, “Bat tle for Zygon,” by Dr. Zelman Bokser of Rome, Ga. Bokser nar rated the story, which he explained was based on a Russian folk legend and newly converted by him into a modern “Firebird” space story. The GSU Brass Quintet, one of Young Audiences’ accredited en sembles, is under the leadership of Dr. Steven Winick, director of the Georgia State University School of Music. He and his four associates mix lighthearted entertainment, audience participation and program information with their own enthu siasm to produce music that is fun. Slipped in almost without detec tion is the learning experience! Whistles, dark glasses, a glitter ing Michael Jackson glove—these are some of the props used to grab the attention of TV-oriented kids. Outshining the novelties is the beautifully blended brass sound On this day, the group’s versatility in adapting their selections to fit the audience was another delight. Many members of the Atlanta Jewish community have been in strumental in the creation of Young Audiences of Atlanta. Founding board members who are still active Ursula Blumenthal, Jackie Mon tag, Mimi Levy and Ann Alperin. Sue Reinach is now a member of the board. Ann Alperin presently * serves as executive director, and it was her late father whose memory was honored at the concert. Young Audiences of Atlanta, founded in 1983, is the newest of the 37 chapters of this largest national non-profit, educational arts organization. Its purpose is to bring music, dance theater and visual arts into area schools and into the lives of children. Its logo is a shining sun which seems to sym bolize both the enrichment that live performances bring and the happiness they engender. Proof lies in the shining faces of the audiences. Ann Alperin likens the exposure to giving bakery samples. Young Audiences gives a taste of the arts. !n this school year alone, 300,000 young people in Atlanta area schools got a taste of 21 accredited performing groups providing 1,400 educational programs. The national organization was founded by the late Mrs. Edgar M. Leventritt and Mrs. T. Roland Berner. National advisory board members include such illustrious artists as Leonard Bernstein, Itz hak Perlman, Peter Serkin, Pin- chas Zuckerman, Isaac Stern and Yehudi Menuhin. Young Audien ces is said to take up where school music education stops, for teachers alone cannot possibly present the vitality of the performing arts. The cost of each 35-minute pro gram is split, with the schools pay ing half and the balance being funded through public, corporate and private donations. Adopt-a- school contributions from the busi ness community frequently pay for programs in disadvantaged areas. Performing artists must audition to be accredited for Young Aud iences’ performances. Professional dancers, actors and musicians are selected for the quality of their work and for their ability to com municate effectively with children. Every artist also is trained by the organization to be an educator. The Academy Theatre, Atlanta Chamber Players, Lee Harper and Dancers, Ruth Mitchell Dance Company, Great American Mime Experiment and Carl Ratcliff Dance Theatre are just a few of the selected Atlanta groups. Many performances, such as the recent AJCC event, are gifts given by private individuals to special institutions. Ed Elson’s birthday was celebrated this spring by friends who sponsored a concert by the Atlanta World Music Consort for 500 Hubert Elementary School children. Amy Schatten treated a pre-school class at Paideia to a concert. The Hebrew Academy enjoyed “A Visit from Bach” by the Acad emy Theatre sponsored by Mrs. Hannah Noether. Jackie and Tony Montag delighted the children at White County Elementary School with three special programs. Young Audiences and its friends and supporters spread the sunshine of music, dance and drama to many children whose lives other wise would not be warmed by the pleasure and creativity of live per formances. Each September Show case, a free preview of available talent, is held for evaluation and comment from PTA cultural arts chairmen, principals, teachers and selected groups of children. This event also enables schools to select and schedule programs for the coming year. More information about Young Audiences of Atlanta can be ob tained by writing to P.O.
