Eliot cycle continues
Wasteland, Four Quartets
featured at Autry House
by ELAINE BONILLA
"An Eliot Cycle" continues
at Main Street Theater at
Autry House this weekend
with a concert reading of T.S.
Eliot's Four Quartets, plus a
revival of an earlier produc-
tion of The Wasteland.
Orchestrated for six voices
by the Rev. John Worrell,
Four Quartets is directed by
Main Street Theater's
producer, Rebecca Greene.
These works are considered
to be Eliot's major poetical
achievement, taking as their
model the string quartet.
Greene's production will
The Salesians
have no real staging, focusing
instead on the six-voice
arrangement just as Eliot
concerns himself more with
his ideas blending and
illuminating each other in
counterpoint than with any
sort of narrative line. The
readers will be Ellen Horr,
Rebecca Greene, Susan
Madigan, Bryan Pedeaux,
Charles Tanner, and the Rev.
John Worrell.
The Wasteland's revival
will feature three members of
the original four-voice
arrangement: Greene, Tanner,
and Worrell. Madigan will
complete the cast of readers.
Helping
selves.
True charity isn't
always a handful of
rice ... or the gift of a
warm shirt. . . it's helping others to help themselves.
A more lasting and dignified way, we say.
Since our foundation in 1859, this has been the
Salesian way. Education is the keynote. What good is a
meal today when one must think of all the tomorrows?
St. John Bosco knew this well. What good are dreams
unless they are translated in reality by deeds?
Around the world, Salesian missioners help their
flock by giving them ways to help themselves. Whether it
is agricultural training or technical training for a trade
they can learn, people are encouraged to find their
own niche, their own way of betterment, their own road
to human dignity and self help.
Salesians work primarily for youth, for it is in the
young that hope is born. There are Salesian missions in
73 countries around the world. If you are interested
in a life that gives as much as it receives, fill-in the
coupon below ... and we will send you additional
information on the Salesian way.

Also included in the program
will be some shorter, lighter
poems, such as Pedeaux
giving his now classic reading
of "Growltiger's Last Stand."
Performances will be on
Thursday, Friday, and
Saturday nights at 8pm in
Autry House. Admission is $1.
Main Street Theater's first
roadshow is coming the
following week: Doug
Milburn's Austin production
of Hello, Hamlet!, written by
Rice graduate George
Grsanias. Only in Houston for
two performances on Novem-
ber 14 and 15, this new
approach to the musical satire
of Shakespearean favorites
uses an eight-man cast.
Conceived in the style of a
cabaret entertainment,
V
George Greanias in the title role from his play Hello, Hamlet!
Milburn's show keeps the
actors on their toes, constantly
switching roles. Four former
Rice people involved in the
previous Wiess production of
Hello, Hamlet! will be
returning to Houston with the
play.
Becky Bonar will be featured
as Gertrude, with Bill Blanton
who played the Ghost long
ago, and Milburn who
originally played Hamlet
himself. Debbie Walderman
choreographed this new
version.
Producer Greene expects
sellout houses for the two-
night run, so reservations
should be made in advance by
calling 524-3168. It should be a
real treat for Rice audiences to
have the opportunity to see
this authentic Rice creation.

Symphony will present

sored by KIKK. Albert
