Awed and Inspired

A mozaic of music—from the Auditorium Series. A concert choir, two orchestras, a mezzo-soprano, and a pianist to satisfy IU's musical taste. The Aud Series, a schedule of carefully selected entertainment. An evening for "heels and hose" and suits. Intermission clamor muffled by the magnitude of a theatre so big that performers sometimes admit they're "awed."

Fabien Sevitsky, conductor of the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra. Blanche 'I hebom, mezzo-soprano with the Metropolitan Opera Company.

Dame Myra Hess, concert pianist.

Istvan Rabovsky in the "London Festival Ballet." Harry Bclafonte and the Voices of Walter Schuman in "Three for Tonight."

Moira Shearer in "A Midsummer Night's Dream."

Marge and Gower Champion in "Three for Tonight."

An invitation to the dance! Sylphlike ballerinas glide through the Commons during the day and delight the Auditorium crowd by night. Cries of "Bravo" from James Jones for the ballet, and Harry Belafonte cajoles even our staid group into a calypso chorus. Marge Champion bought Gower's Christmas present in Bloomington, and Moira Shearer watched TV in the Union Lounge. We crammed the Auditorium—sometimes for two nights—to watch them. The Commons somehow seems not quite so interesting for a day or two after they leave.

George London, baritone, with the Metropolitan Opera Company.

Impressed and Informed

Shakespeare and wild animal hunters hobnob with statesmen and musicians on the stage of the Auditorium. A culturally well-rounded program for the Midwest, from the East, and from farther than the East. Miss Webster told us we were strangers with Shakespeare, and General Romulo told us of a UN that can work. Mr. and Mrs. Ryhiner showed us a hunt for a rare and dangerous animal. We shivered, and thrilled, and were impressed and informed.

Fernando Germani, first organist of St, Peter's, Rome.

Charles Saltzman, speaker on the topic "The State Department in the Cold War." Boris Goldovsky, Metropolitan Opera broadcast commentator.

General Carlos Romulo chatting with Governor Craig after speaking on "Inside the United Nations."

Peter and Mercia Ryhiner, lecturers on the capture of wild animals.

Margaret Webster, speaker on the topic "Shakespeare and Us."

No longer taught—but teaching.
