COLLEGE LIFE

By H. F. KEUPER;
Last night the Stockholm Uni-t
versity Chorus, under the directionv
of Eskil Hemberg, performed fort
a Hill Auditorium audience ofs
about 2200 persons. Those souls
who remained faithful to the per-.
formers to the end of the concert
were ."amply, if not richly, re-
warded.
This writer has .witnessed manys
nor.e outstanding performances
bliy touring and resident collegiate,
aggregations; but seldom has heX
witnessed a demonstration ofX
such. undivided attention on the1
, part of the Stockholm chorus.
There is never a question as toe
Mr. Hemberg's authority. His 381
women and 24 men await his every
gesture and respond 'with some of
the most precise attacks and
sharp. releases ever to grace the;
walls .of Hill. Many of the church
and university choir members ini
the 'audience, it is hoped, learnedt
a great deal from the visitors. c
Their technical precision not-I
withstanding, the Stockholm per-
formers had a tendency to produce
remarkably similar sounds forr
each of the numbers in succession£
on the program. There were times
when the pitch in 'general, and
that of one section in particular,
wavered and then fell. On the4
whole, however, such errors were
subtle and might be attributed to
the weather and the general state
of exhaustion which every tour-
ing chorus member feels after a
while.
Mr. Hemberg's program opened
with Morley's."Fire! Fire!" which
gave the chorus the necessary on-
stage warm-up. By the time-that
they reached "Quarid mon mar"
by Orlando di Lasso, two numbers
later, the writer was searching the
chorus for those, 'four distinct

voices which seemed to permeate
the air. It took some time and
was a pleasure. to discover, tnat
the voices were actually the four
separate sections each sounding as
one voice. It was a memorable
moment.
Mozart's "V'amo di core" gave
Mr. Hemberg and the Chorus an
opportunity to demonstrate their
skill with three choirs distributed
across the stage.
During the remainder of the
pre-intermission section of the
performance the chorus moved
briefly through' the history of
choral music to the'contemporary
era. The music of Verdi, Debussy,
Krenek, Orff, and Seiber served
as examples.
Following the intermission the
group turned its attention to
Scandanavian choral works and
the result was much more pleas-
ing. Particularly delightful were
the Peterson-Berger arrangements
of the Danish "Stemning" and the
Norwegian "Dans! ropte Felen."

By LISSA MATROSS
When Arthur Miller spoke at
the University last month, he
noted rhetorically "It's easy to talk'
about the theatre today-we hard-
ly have any theatre today." He
then went on to say that the fu-
ture of American theatre would
be, hopefully, in repertoiy com-
panies like Lincoln Center in New
Yprk, or in traditionally non-r
theatre areas across the country.
The John Fernald Company of
the Meadow Brook Theatre in
nearby Rochester, Michigan, looks
like it might fulfill Miller's hopes.
Organized this fall under the
auspices of Oakland University,
the company has already pro-
duced "The Caucasian Chalk
Circle" by Bertold Brecht; Shake-
speare's "Love's Labour Lost;" and
George Bernard Shaw's "You
Never Can Tell." Their current
production, Jean Anouilh's "The
Waltz of the Toreadors," runs
through April 30.

Praised by Critics
London drama critics are almost
unanimous in proclaiming Fer-
nald's 1948 production of Che-
khov's "The Cherry Orchard," "the
finest ever presented."
Explaining his decision to leave
RADA and establish a repertory
company, Fernald says, "I've done

6,000 subscriptions for the initial
season. The company has been
playing to 70 per cent capacity
audiences.
As in any repertory company,
versatility is one of the chief vir-
tues of the Fernald company. Over
Easter vacation they presented
,"The Imperial Nightingale," an
adaptation of the Hans Christian

lacks tradition and discipline."
Continuing, he notes, "Amer-
icans I've trained in England have
been terribly grateful in what
they've found there-and they
have flowered there."
Form Oakland Academy
Fernald is hopeful that Amer-
icans can flower in their own
country, too. Next fall an Academy
of Dramatic Arts will be formed at
Oakland in connection with the
Meadow Brook Theatre.
