Andre Watts, Pianist
to No. 3 ia G Minor for Plano and
1 Orchestra" by Salat-Seens. He 1
displayed an extraordinary com- :
> niand of his instrument. The mu
sic was interpreted with a fluent 1
1 projection of the mood and with '
! all the precise durations and in-
1 tensities required. His intuitive
I insight and conscious control en- 1
1 abled him to give great meaning ■
to the winning beauty of aound, 1
; as he captured the subtle interre-
. lationship between performer and
; composer. The gentle ebb and 1
. flow of cliuiax and phraaee made I
the audience clearly aware of the
1 changing patterns of the compo-
, sition. T
, The rushing rhythms, sense of
j structural balance, symmetry. 1
. clarity and tonal nuances with
whteh Mr, Watts brought Me play
ing of the Concerto to its concilia- I
1
" ion, won him a wildly enthuaina-
J tic response from a highly ap-
: preciative audience. Screams,
1 whistle, bravos and even a few
J “oles” filled the air. Mr. Watt*
‘ then played three encores, a Cho-
■ pin Nocturne, Tcherepnin’s •'Ba
gatelle” and Bartok’s Rumanian
Dances. These works were given j
musical humor, tender remidlsc- I
- ences and pianistie fireworks.
Jose Greco, Dancer
On Saturday evening. Jose Gre
co and his Spanish Ballet appear
ed at Lewisohn Stadium. For
awhile R appeared that the prog
ram would be cancelled, but the
rain stopped and gradually the
audience began to fill the Sta
dium.
Dance programs at the Stadium
are not given the same attention
accorded symphonic programs.
During the dancing ot the Galic
ian Suite, one of the little ice
cream vendors ;av« a private
dance recital, for which he took
his proper share of bows.
In the “Bronze Gypaies” the
intricate dance patterns were
done to perfection. Since there is
virtually no “School of Spanish
Ballet.” the dynamics of the
dance are highly original and pro
vocative. In the Spanish Dance,
the mal? must make no compro
mise with virility. He is unbend
ing, dominating and always the
master. While the female is giv
en full latitude for emotional ex
pression, it rpust never go beyond
the limits of proper costuming,
decorum and good taste.
ARMENTA ADAMS

turner -md mov4- actor, will be

(Dave Hepburn is on vacation. The following
column ts written by George Norford, NBC-TV
executive now on leave and working with SCAD as BHHHH
a TV consultant on the integration of the Negro in
television and other entertainment areas. This is
the conclusion of a column started last week by R9Rh||H
Mr. Nor ford.)
Everybody Talks TV
But Hollywood was following a pattern set many
years ago, frozen into a rigid mold that even the revo- F
lutionary time in which we live is hard put to change.
The television pattern has not frozen. With each I
new season, starting in September, it changes. And lV\
this augurs well for the effort now underway.
Also now that the television networks I
and local stations have made known I V
their positive position where the use of I,- '
Negroes is concerned, the more hesi- v
tant producer is responding with en- I®'
couraging steps forward.
