Fantasy Play Warns Society
By DAVID MOORE
Staff Writer
In a comedic way, the play lashes out
at the various types of greed which
prevail in contemporary society. It could
be classified as an escapist work, except
for the fact it really doesn’t let the
audience escape. And although it drags a
bit too often for its own good, “The
Madwoman of Chaillot,” as presented
by the NT Drama Department, is a play
to be enjoyed.
In its purest form “Madwoman” is a
fantasy, but it also serves as a warning to
the growth of industrialism in our
society. Whatever level the play is
viewed on, however, it must be termed a
comedy.
“Madwoman,” written by the French
novelist Jean Giraudoux, is set in Paris
Outtakes
Black Greeks To Sponsor Show
Alpha Kappa Alpha social sorority
will sponsor a Greek Show at 7:30 p.m.
Saturday in the Main Auditorium.
Many Black Greeks on the NT
campus will participate in the show by
“stepping," which means that sorority
or fraternity members do certain move-
ments such as stomping, clapping hands
or any action related to a dance step.
The contest will be judged by one
representative from each Black sorority
or fraternity.
The basic contest will consist of
probate stepping and rhythmic patterns.
Probate stepping is comprised of steps
performed by pledge class members of a
sorority or fraternity. Rhythmic patterns
is where each person will be judged on
the rhythmic patterns of the movements.
This year's Greek show, with the
theme “So Full of Love," will be con-
ducted to promote unity among Black
Cireeks.
There w ill be an entry fee of $ 10,
which must be turned in by Friday to
Valerie Kemp, secretary of AKA.
Black Greeks from other universities
are expected to participate in the show.
First- , second- and third place
trophies will be awarded. Another
Irophy will be given to the best pledge
class.
Proceeds will be donated to the Job
Corps and the United Fund.
Admission will be $1.50 pre-sale and
$2 at the door.
Bach Concerts Start Sunday
The Denton Bach Society will open its
third concert season at 4 p.m. Sunday at
St. Paul Lutheran Church, 703 N. Elm
St., featuring for the first time music by
composers other than J.S. Bach.
The program, which is open to the
public free of charge, will include motets
by Johann Pachelbel and Dietrich Bux-
tehude, 17th-century German com-
posers who influenced Bach’s develop-
ment as a musician. Dr. Charles Brown,
society director, said.
Choral music, including two Bach
motets, will be based on Psalms 47, 100,
103, and 117, he said.
Dr. Brown said the society’s in-
strumental selections for the concert are
derived from an ancient dance form
known as the passacaglia or chaconne.
The works are Pachelbel's Canon in D
Major for four violins and bass, Bach's
Passacaglia for organ and Bach’s
Chaconne for solo violin.
Dr. Brown, who is a member of the
NT music faculty, will be soloist on the
organ, and Dr. James Lerch, also of the
music faculty, will be the violinist.
Joining Dr. Brown, in conducting the
program’s choral works, will be Dr.
Hildegard Frolich Rainbow of the music
faculty, who is also preparing a children’s
choir to assist in the performance of one
of the Bach motets.
Goblins Boogie at Dance
A Halloween disco dance will be
sponsored by Kappa Alpha Psi of NT
from 9 p.m. to I a.m. Tuesday night in
Hubbard Hall, south entrance, on the
TWU campus.
Donations of $1 will be taken at the
door. All proceeds from the dance will
go toward Kappa Alpha Psi’s goal of
adopting an overseas child through the
Children’s Christian Fund, Port Arthur
sophomore Anthony Lavallais, business
manager, said.
The fraternity will hold a car wash
from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday at the
Western Bank of Denton, 1013 Univer-
sity Drive.
in the early spring of 1942, just two years
before the author’s death. Giraudoux’s
writings were essentially considered
moralistic, and for him the theater con-
stituted a form of education.
BRIEFLY, the plot involves the plan
of four devious characters to form a cor-
poration and search for oil in the Chail-
lot district of Paris. Once the plan is put
in motion the Countess Aurelia, alias the
Madwoman of Chaillot, is alerted to the
evils of the world by her vagabond
friends and decides to do something
about the shady scheme.
The second act takes place in a cellar
where over a tea party Aurelia and two
other madwomen discuss the future of
humanity. When yet another
madwoman enters, this one versed in
law, the quartet decide to hold a bogus
trial.
DURING THIS mock display they
use the Ragpicker to represent the
capitalists and evil people and find the
defendant guilty. Finally, the Countess
rids herself and the community of the
greedmongers by sending them down a
secret passageway to get the oii—a pas-
sageway that is then blocked by a stone.
The performance is a good one. The
lines do a great deal in making the play,
but the cast exhibits a pleasing flair for
the low-key comedy needed for the
production. That is not to say, however,
that “Madwoman" is flawless.
In the opening sequence between the
president (Austin freshman George
Wright) and the baron (Fort Worth
graduate student Val Prahl), their mo-
tions appear unnatural, almost as if they
were playing the whole scene as an aside
to the audience. The two actors do set
the light tone that the comedy needs, but
the tempo is slow and the image of two
ruthless businessmen just doesn’t come
THE LEAD ROLE of Aurelia (Dallas
graduate student Lynn Zalcburg) is at-
tractive. The Madwoman can best be
described as a dignified person of un-
stable mentality. She is a character who
believes to be alive is to be fortunate,
and even though the world around her is
changing, she refuses to see it.
Ms. Zalcburg plays the part well. She
is happy in her ignorance of the evils of
the world and her incessant ramblings
serve to inflict the actors and audience
with the same love of life she has.
As the bitter Prospector (Tyler junior
Rick Higginbotham) who hates dealing
with humans and complains that
civilization gets in his wav all of the
time, Higginbotham is excellent.
"Madwoman” plays tonight and
Saturday beginning at 8 p.m. in the
University Theatre. Tickets are $2.50 for
non-students, 51.50 for students and
faculty and $1 each for groups of 10 or
Big Band Performs
With Swing Tonight
The music of such artists as Glenn
Miller, Benny Goodman, Stan Kenton
and Duke Ellington will be played by a
14-piece big band from 8 to 11 tonight as
the Age of Sw ing visits the Rock Bottom
Lounge.
Denton sophomore Brian Anderson,
a trumpet player, and Denton freshman
Mark Williams, a baritone saxophone
player, started the band.
“We’ll perform big band swing music
of the 1930s and 1940s and give an ex-
planation before every song of who
made it famous, adding possibly some
more background information,”
Anderson said.
The band, comprised of a Denton
resident, a Denton High School senior,
an SMU student and I I NT students,
plays mainly for dances and area
country clubs, Anderson said.
“Auer Mark and ! publicized around
campus music buildings for prospective
members, I was flooded with calls from
people wanting more information. More
people are interested in big swing than I
thought," he said.
"The most difficult part about getting
the band together was finding a place
and time to practice, because 14
members are harder to get together than
a four-piece band.
Valuable Coupon
“The band was formed just before
school started, so we’re still fledglings,”
he said.
The band will perform at the Denton
Country Club from 8 p.m. to midnight
Saturday.
