worked with Texas Stage in tech-
nical capacities.
Unfortunately, most students who
read this will be surprised, having
heard little of this particular drama
group. That is not without reason.
As yet no one can say just how
much theatrical activity Houston
will support, so all of the groups are
preparing for strong competition in
view of the great increase in num-
ber of productions this season. One
would expect that this competition
would prompt each of the organiza-
tions to work harder and face com-
petition with better plays. But there
seem to be other devices; for ex-
ample, every effort that Texas
Stage has made to secure publicity
in Houston has been thwarted. This
is discouraging, of course. Especially
when the source of opposition is
unknown or only suspected. The
company seems confident, however,
that the excellence of their show
will carry them over such opposi-
tion.
I obviously agree. Lest a reader
think I've been carried away by my
enthusiasm, however, let me assure
him that I was not blind to the de-
fects of the show. There were scenes
that needed more worn, and some
of the minor actors in the rather
large cast do not measure up to
the excellence of the leads. But I
have dealt with the merits of the
production because they so over-
shadow its imperfections, and above
Jail, because, aside from its unique-
ness, its progressivenetfs, and its
'< artistry, it is fine entertainment.

j Last Monday's symphony program
jwas probably the most satisfying of
| the season thus far. The program
J was made up of beautiful music, and
! the music was played beautifully.
! The Bizet First Symphony is a
| lovely, simple work which, under
.the baton of Mr. Kurtz, was quite
igay and poetic.
i The high point of the evening was
! the performance of Ravel's Intro-
duction and Allegro for "Harp and
Orchestra, with Miss Janet Reming-
ton, guest artist, at the harp. Once
more the string section showed its
strength, to the increasing gratifica-
tion of the subscribers.
The Roussel Third Symphony, a
somewhat difficult work, was well
performed, and although I can claim
no relation to the composer, I too
enjoyed it very much.
I An excellent example of the ca-'
| pability of our conductor was ex-
hibited in the excerpts from Ber-
lioz's Damnation of* Faust. This mu-
sic is usually presented in a melo-
dramatic, schmaltzy fashion. Mr.
; Kurtz presented surprisingly deli-
cate interpretitions of the first two
parts, and the march was a far cry
, from the usual brass band and pum-
pernickel ^style.
