Well Arranged Music
"It just happens that home-grown does mo; in-
dicate at the same time crude an I n a,.. -hi!t.
The production was written and directed by
Robert Nail, for foui years in charg* of ttiea
trical doings at Princeton I nivei-ity. I he
music is arranged arid played by Alice l;> y-
jiolds, a twig on a pioneer fainiiy tree, of i.ay
lor University and iNew York, where ,ric is a
painter by profession. A listing ot those to be
credited with various phase- of the production
would include solid citizen, who operate on
Main Street during the day and double as ush-
ers and stage hands at night.
"The theme of this, the seventh Fandangle, is
the history of th« region as epitomized in the
careers of the journalistic figure- of the region,
specially the migration of one pap"r, the F.cho,
from Jacksboro in 1875, to Fort (iriffin to Al
bany. Fven the program sheet is a facsimile
edition of the four papers, containing spicy
paragraphs gleaned from their files.
Frontier Variety
"Music, mostly of the hearty frontier variety,
is an indispensable adjunct of the -'iow. ( And
they call it a show; it is too intimate for a pug
eant, too spontaneous for a ballet, though it

there was perfect .synchronization.
"Among the western tune , genuine, not

'Her Pappy Turned Her Picture to the Wall,
'Put Your Little Foot,' 'Little Joe, the W rang

came 'Springfield Mountain" and one song i- a

perhaps the inroads of high falutin' mu io Into
the frontier scene. .
