We owe allthic to a slightly bigger budget,the success of last year’s Festi¬val. and tho cooperation which wehave gotten from our staff."This year’s Festival will havemore music than has previouslyboon included, according to MissSchaeffer. Two concerts at thenoon hour, one of them to be pre¬sented outdoors, a concert ofc h a m b e r music, one of renais¬sance and baroque music, and a‘ wing ding” with entertainmentfrom the winners of the FOTAski! competition will be presented.Dance is added•In addition to these musicalfeatures.” Miss Schaeffer contin¬ued, “we have added a lot ofdance to the program.” The Chi¬cago Ballot guild will presentmembers of the Ruth Page com¬pany of the Chicago Lyric operaand members of other dance com¬panies in a performance of balletsby Chicago composers and chore¬ographers.

Strozier, “began mod¬estly, even inauspiciously. A smallgroup sat around a conference ta¬ble and talked of a weekend wherethe originality of our studentscould be demonstrated. Art andmusic were to be the focus of theFestival.”Present at the first meeting toorganize a Festival were JoshuaTaylor, associate professor of art,Richard Vikstrom, director of theUniversity choir. Harold Haydon,associate professor of art, MarvinPhillips, director of UniversityTheatre, Peter Graham Swing,Gerhard Meyer, associate profes¬sor of economics and a man whohad long thought of starting anart festival, and Strozier.At this meeting it was decidedthat all organizations should con¬tribute to the Festival, which wasset up as a four day period tocoincide with parents’ weekend.“Our original idea,” Haydon ex¬plained, “was not to bring in anylarge number of events, or to ‘im¬port’ a Festival, but rather tohighlight unnoticed events here on campus by bringing togetherall exhibits, contests, productionsand so forth into one short pe¬riod.”After the original meeting, thefestival started growing. A teafor students, a poetry reading byWilliam Carlos Williams, a Festi¬val of Nations, a University The¬atre production, and an outdoorband concert were added. Even astudent-faculty baseball game wasscheduled, which proved too ex¬treme for Gerhard Meyer, who re¬signed from the committee inprotest.The last event to be institutedwas the Beaux Arts ball. It was scheduled for Hutchinson com¬mons, which was decorated forthe occasion. FOTA committeemembers had costumed them¬selves as characters from Alicein Wonderland, and prepared tosell tickets. However, before thedance, only eight tickets had beensold, and the campus was floodedwith signs reading “ARTS, GOHOME! However, when thedance actually started, the crowdat the commons was in the hun¬dreds. Since the original dance,the site has been moved, first toIda Noyes, then to the Quadran¬gle club, and finally back to Idai Cont. on page 4)Vol. 69, No. 32 University of Chicago, April 19, 1960 a iHold pre-FOTA eventsThe official opening of Fes¬tival of Arts week is Fridayafternoon at 4 pm, but pre¬vious to this, three events ofcampus interest have been sched¬uled: Bach’s “A Musical Offer¬ing," Moliere’s “The Misan¬thrope.” and John Crowe Ran¬som reading his own poems.An extraordinary composition,not often performed, Bach’s “AMusical Offering,” is perhaps themost intellectual music that Bachever wrote, and represents a cli¬max in his career.

Nancy Humphrey, musical direc¬tor for the Bach society, twomembers of the Fine Arts quar¬tet, Abram Loft (violin), andGeorge Sopki (cello), and amember of the Chicago Sympho¬ny orchestra, Ray Still (oboe),this work wi’l be presented in thenew law school auditorium, Tues¬day night, 8 pm. Student admis¬sion is $1.“The Misanthrope,” a satire ofthe false politeness, courtly cor¬rupt behavior of the 18th centu¬ry, is one of the verse comediesof Moliere. Based on his personalexperiences, Moliere wrote thetragic comedy of a proud manwho feels that it is beneath hisdignity to bow, flatter, and caterto the whims of the court. TheMisanthrope, Alceste, wishes toleave the entire human race. Heis in conflict with all other peo¬ple because they are liars and flat¬terers. Alceste likes the truth atany cost, and most of the charac¬ters Moliere surrounds him withare very polite, false, high societytypes, who resort to honesty onlyin desperation.Court ladies appearFor example, there are thecourt ladies and gentlemen, Coli-mene, Arsinoe, Eliante, Orante,and Philinte.Celimene (played by MarthaRoth) is a coquette. Alceste is inlove with her and this is the worstchoice he could make. She, ofcourse, regards Alceste as a coun¬try bumpkin. Arsinoe (played by Jo AnneAkalaitis) is a prude. One of thefunniest scenes in the play oc¬curs when she tells Celimene(just for her own good) some ofthe nasty comments she over¬heard about her at a party. Celi¬mene listens politely and then,just as a friend, tells Arsinoesome of the tales she has heardabout her. This exchange goesback and forth for minutes.Woman is goodEliante (played by Carol Hor-ney) is a paragon amongst thesefemales. Though good, she’s notquite as vitriolic as Alceste in herinsistence unon honesty. She’s theideal, sensible woman, accordingto Carol.Orante (played by Marty Roth)is a pompous ass. He writespoetry and once asked the Misan¬thrope to comment on his poems.The Misanthrope did and Orantesued him.Philinte (played by Ernest d’-Anjou) is a friend of Alceste.Part of the court, Philinte ac¬cepts court behavior as one of thenecessary evil facets of life. “Youhave to live with this. Are yougoing to fight the world?” heasks Alceste. Alceste says, “Yes.”In the original production Mo¬liere played the Misanthrope. Theking liked his play, the courtdidn’t. They thought Moliere wasmaking fun of them. The courtwas insulted.Beaux Arts ball hastheme from cinemaThe annual Beaux Arts ball, to be presented this year withthe theme of “Characters from Great Cinema Productions”will be held on April 30, from 9 pm to 1 am, in Ida Noyes hall.Admission is $3.50 per couple.A complete list of judges forthe Ball has not yet been com- dances, catchy patter, and an all-piled. “Cholly Dearborn, society Sfar casf Qf several.” The madri-eolumnist on the Chicago Amor- gaj sjngers from this year’s Fac-ican, will act as one judge.

To discussthis question, FOTA has invitedJohn Read, a writer and producerof art and documentary films forthe British Broadcasting Compa¬ny television. Read will show anddiscuss different aspects of hisfilms in informal seminars dur¬ing the Festival week.The first films on the programare “Blood of a Poet” by Jean Coc¬teau, and “The Pleasure Garden.”"Blood of a Poet” was Cocteau’sfirst a 11 e m p t to communicatethrough the media of the motionpicture. In the belief ihat filmprovides an unequalled oppor¬tunity for the expression of purepoetic thought, Cocteau createdan almost purely surrealist film,‘a realist document composed ofunreal happenings.’ The film hasfour sections: The WoundedHand, or the Poet’s Scars; DoWalls Have Ears?; the Battle ofthe Snowballs, and the Profana¬tion of the Host. “Cocteau’s worldof symbols and objects grown fa¬miliar to him are lo be found inthis film and will serve as land¬marks to those familiar with hisbooks, plays, or drawings.” “Bloodof a Poet” and “The PleasureGarden” will be shown togetherby the Documentary film groupin Judd 126, 5835 Kimbark at 7:15and 9:15 Friday, April 22.

Two bands, one in theCloister club and one in the libra¬ry will play at this year’s dance.Providing both will be UC stu¬dent Ken Pierce.The second annual Festival wasextended to five days, and includ¬ed fifteen special events. Amongthe events was a lecture by Eudo-ra Welty, a UT production, andthe Beaux Arts ball. Ruth Pageand her ballet company presentedthe world premier of the ballet-play “Suzanna and the Barber,”marking the first appearance ofthat company at the Festival.The 1956 EOT A also marked thereturn of the Blackfriars to cam¬pus. Originally founded as a malemusical comedy group, the Black-friers disbanded after World WarII. In 1956, the group returned,co-ed, to present Gamma DeltaIota in conjunction with the Festi¬val. Blackfriars has performedevery year since then at FOTAtime, and this year will present“Silver Bells and Cockle Shells.”Highlighting the 1 95 7 FOTAwas a lecture by Martin Buber,existentialist Jewish philosopher.Buber spoke on “Man in Flight.”Also lecturing was American poetLeone Adams.In 1958, the festival was extend¬ed to a six day affair. Blackfriars,UT, and many musical groups participated. Last year, authorSaul Bellow lectured, the Univer¬sity choir presented Handel’sIsrael in Egypt, and an exhibitionof the graphic works of PabloPicasso was presented.Not everybody is pleased wiihthe Festival as it now stands.Alice Schaeffer said. "This yearthe influence of the administra¬tion has been minimal and cooper¬ation extensive. However, chang¬ing from what Gerhard Meyerconceived as the original festival,an opportunity for campusgroups to combine in a festivalof the arts, administrative influ¬ence has been greater. He thoughtin terms of a festival which cameentirely from the University community, with no outside artistsat all.“Today.” Miss Schaeffer con¬tinued, "it would take a re-empha¬sis of the productive arts withinthe University for such a festival to be possible. Because of this,for the present we must coneontrate on producing a well-balancedfestival, one in which on and offcampus activities are equally em¬phasized.”Miss Schaeffer was verypleased with what the adminis¬tration has done this year. “Per¬rin Lowery (assistant professorof humanities) was appointed asour faculty adviser, and he is oneof the best things that has everhappened to FOTA. We are allvery grateful for the greatamount of work that he has donefor us.”Summarizing her ideas of whatthis year’s Festival should heMiss Schaeffer concluded, "If thecampus would receive the Festival in the spirit in which it ispresented to it. then I have nodoubt that this will be the bestFestival ever. Every Festival inthe past has been better than tin'preceding one, because we arctrying to build a tradition. We arctrying to build a balance betweenthe best possible student presentations and the best possible artists.We hope that this year’s FOTAwill be a long step in that direc¬tion.”Photographers for this IssueJoel Snyder John LewisonMark Eastman Alan BergerFOTA's calendarTuesday, 19 AprilBach’s “A Musical Offering,’’ 8 pmPerformed by musicians of the Bachsociety: Nancy Humphrey, harpsi¬chord; Abram Loft, violin; GeorgeSopkin. cello; Ray Still, oboe.
