IU'i 1 Il9

By JOHN NOLAND
America's first permanent cham-
ber orchestra-the Chamber Sym-
phony of Philadelphia-will ini-
tiate its Gala Inaugural Tour to-
morrow evening at 8:30 in Rack
ham Auditorium.
Opening the University Musical
Society's eighty-eighth concert
season with its U.S. debut, the
Chamber Symphony will perform
the first reading of the "Concerto
for Chamber Orchestra, a new
composition by Benjamin Lees. It

is expected that the composer him-
self will come from New York for
this world premiere.
Under the leadership of Anshel
Brusilow the Chamber Symphony's
thirty-six musicians will also play
the Vivaldi "Concerto in G Ma-
jor," and Cherubini's "Symphony
in D Major." Soloists on the pro-
gram will include Louis Opalesky,
who will play the "Trumpet Vol-
untary" by Jeremia Clarke.
Brusilow, a brilliant violinist
and concertmaster of the Phila-
delphia Orchestra for years. has

c o n d u c t e d major symphonies
throughout the continent. In ex-
changing his bow for the baton. he
follows in the tradition of such
renowned violinist-conductors as
Monteau, Kleiber, and Munch.
The Chamber Symphony itself
is approximately one-third the
size of a regular symphony or-
chestra. Nevertheless, with its full
complement of strings, woodwinds,
brass and percussion, it can pre-
sent the widest possible variety of
repertoire. This fact enables it as
a group to include masterpieces of
the baroque and romantic periods
as well as compositions by con-
temporary composers.
The Chamber Symphony of
Philadelphia is scheduled for 22
concerts this season in Philadel-
phia and seven in New York, ter-
minating in a tour of the U.S. and
Canada.
It seems quite evident that our
own concert series will be one of
the most memorable, indeed, with
the opening presentation of a!
double premiere.

New Code To Label Movies
For Mature Audiences'

4

NEW YORK (R) - The motion
picture industry hasp a new set of
production guidelines, eliminating:
many specific taboos, but giving
Hollywood's Production Code Ad-
ministration, for the first time, the
power to label certain films 'rec-
commended for mature audien-:
ces."
The new code, in effect, gives
filmmakers more leeway in treat-
ing sex, sin and violence, but also
gives production code officials
more flexibility in deciding what
will get its "seal of approval."
According to Jack Valenti, new
head of the Motion Picture Asso-
ciation of America, the use of the
"mature audience" tag says, basic-
ally. "Look, Mr. Parent, this may
not be a picture you want your
child to see."
Announced Tuesday
Valenti, former special assistant
to President Johnson, announced
the adoption of the revised pro-
duction code at a news conference'
Tuesday,
The Production Code Adminis-
tration, now headed by Geoffrey
M. Shurlock, provides the rules on
film content and treatment for
the guidance of the major Ameri-
can film companies. All subscribe
to the code, but are not legally
bound to abide by it.
The original code was adopted
in 1930 and, because of changing
times and changing morals, has
been revised several times.

However, in recent years, the
industry has been under increas-
ing criticism as it has produced
films more daring in content and
treatment. Critics threatened cen-
sorship, local and federal. '
Film producers, at the same
time, cried for more leeway to
treat more mature material, es-
pecially to counter the more dar-
ing foreign film fare.
Revision of the code became the
No. 1 chore of Valenti when he
was named head of the MPAA
last April.,
Two Objectives
The result was the new code
which, Valenti said, has two main
objectives: to "encourage artistic
expression by " expanding creative
freedom" and "to assure that the
freedom that encourages the artist
remains responsible and sensitive
to the standards of the larger so-
ciety."
"This is self-restraint, self-reg-
ulation and self-discipline. We
want to make clear that expansion
of the artist's freedom doesn't
mean tolerance of license," Valenti
said.
Louis Nizer, MPAA attorney,
said, "the standards of reasonable
men will be applied to the inter-
pretation of the new code."
The revised code also establish-
es a motion picture code board to
hear appeals by producers when a
film is denied a seal.

In 1960 Wilt spent six months inG
Antigua in the British West Indies
where he fully developed his tech-
nique of controlled pouring. Many
oils and watercolors were .produced
during this creative period char-
acterized by lavish colors poured
and brushed in complex patterns
that capture the bizarre tropical
flora of Antigua. Several large

sign of unusual impact.!
At times Wilt's paintings give
the impression of wild hallucina-
tory images. For example, Sleeping
Girl on Rug with Plant and Pillow
pictures a young, girl curled up on
a rug with one eye open. Above
and over her is a fantastic plant
whose stems and blossoms erupt
into vivid arabesques. Though his
titles always refer to the material
