gage Two THE MICHIGAN DAILY Soturday, Cctobc! 3, 1974 nag Tw H IHGNDIYSaudy co ,17 U SATURDAY AND SUNDAY ONLY I I I -Daily-Terry McCarthy Actors Company rehearses 'Oppenheimer' The Actors Company arrived in Ann Arbor last Monday and have been in rehearsal for In the Matter of J. Robert Oppenheimer. The players arrived from California and New York where they were involved in theatre, film and television engagements. Oppenheimer, which will open Oct. 13 in Lydia Mendelssohn Theatre, is a dramatic treatment of the controversy swirling around the brilliant atomic scientist who created the bomb. All of this fall's productions deal with socially relevant themes outside of the atomic bomb issue. Youth, Vietnam and urban violence are handled in Summertree and Jules Feiffer's Little Murders. Allen Fletcher, the artistic director of the new Actors Company, has staged productions for the APA, the American Conservatory Theatre of San Francisco where he is currently director, the American Shakespeare Festival of Stratford, Conn., and the New York City Opera. He brings a fresh, new theatre repertory of young actors to help enrich the Ann Arbor theatre scene. -Daily-Tom Gottlieb music "CATHERINE DENEUVE-'she just might be the world's most beautiful woman !" -LOOK "YES, 'BELLE DE JOUR' IS SENSATIONAL.

Who, after all, has the talent (and guts) to blend a tight, rich, captivating sound with only two voices , and two instruments without any back-up band to fill them out? Without those crucial drums and thumping bass a duo's voices don't blend but slide over each other like layers of ice. So Good News gets extra cheers. They're young and they're making it. Musically. (Commercially they're doing okay too, with one Columbia al- bum under their belts, a new one coming up by January, and club jobs across the country. Houston, Texas, is next.) Good News stands .entirely, and wonderfully alone on Mi- chael Bacon's very angelic and pure vocals, a shy but com- petent giutar, and Larry Gold's astounding cello and vocal har- monies which he belts out 'with real gusto, throwing back his head and wrinkling his nose. It's not folk they play, nor folk- harmon ( rock, not any style you can un- derstand by description-simply because they invented it. If you haven't heard Good News then no musical sound-alikes exist to help you out. Maybe, a little like Incredible String Band, another rare duo-but that may be only because they use cello too, and sing quiet, imaginative ballads. But Good News isn't like the String Band, since 'as Bacon says, Good News didn't ever hear them until after he and Gold had been composing and per- forming for a year. A few songs will flash -of Simon and Gar- funkel, not from mimicry but only because two different tal- ented groups are approaching each other on similar musical wavelengths. Good News carries a large repertoire, which they change depending on the audience. news letters Be bop diddie-Bleach Bo'ys! Gold digs back to his teenage love affair with Villa-Lobos. "Jonah," one of their best known songs from the album, is a rocking, freewheeling spiritual, while a song like "So Many Voices Crying" begins with a plaintive vocal-cello duet; it ends with 'the same duet with Bacon's guitar echoing his hush- ed voice. Singing angry and bitter, Bacon sometimes swells his quiet vocals into a raspish shout, a bit like Van Ronk at his most sensitive. Bacon plays a fine guitar too, which he rarely brings out on its own; he uses it as an in- conspicuous, subtle accompani- ment. Only in "I Ain't Gonnas Die" did he let it loose, and then the song was so short that it seemed as if he was too embar- rassed to let us hear more. f DAILY OFFICIA The Daily Official Bulletin is an1 official publication of the Univer-! sity of Michigan.

To the Daily: Well! Daniel Zwerdling, I bet you think you're pretty hot stuff, the way you put down the Beach Boys new album in your record review the other day, the way you said they should .go back where they came from and they were boring and all like that. Well let me tell YOU a thing or two Daniel Zwerdling (if that IS your real name - what kind of a name is Zwer- dling anyway?), let me tell you all your taste is in your mouth. I've gone into retirement from my former post of Michigan Daily R&R Expert, BUT, let me you Daniel, I'm not sitting still for the kind of stuff you said about those guys. Let me get your errors of fact out of the way right now so I won't have to dwell on them and make you look stupid. First, the Beach Boys had an album out last year (20/20) which was their best since Pet Sounds. Sec- ond, they never had an album called "Transcendental Medita- tion," which is the name of the last song on the second side of Friends, in case you're interest- ed. So how about THAT, Mr. Wheelchair General! Now that we've got that out of the way, let's get down to the real nitty-gritty, which is to say that if taste were money ;you'd have trouble getting credit at a free store. As Rolling'Stone put it, the Beach Boys are Plastic Madmen, which is so true, so true. As Big Fat put it, the Beach Boys were the top group of the sixties, which is so true, so true. Now, Daniel Wordzling, let me give you a break for a second here. It's just possible that you really Do like the Beach Boys and were just a little disap- point with this album and de- cided to take out your frus- trations on the sensibilities of your readers. Now, to some extent you're right to be disappointed. Side two, especially, is a little heavy on the strings and the shuck. But side one-side one is, if not quite as good as Pet Sounds (and that remains to be seen-al- bums, like the finest wines, the finest steaks, the finest cheese, and Yuban coffee, have to mel- low a bit, have to sit on your shelf and get a scratch or two and get played for the hell of it-instead of for the review you have to write in order to be able to keep the free copy they send you in the mail-before you can really get an idea of the full worth and the full feeling of them). Where was I? Oh, yeah, if it's not as good as Pet Sounds, it's at least comparable, and that's more than we have a right to expect or even hope for in these days of shuck and jive. So to you, Spaniel Derding, I say this: Listen to the album some more. Note the fantastic production involved here-per- haps the best you've ever heard. Listen to "Cool Cool Water" and think about the promise of Smile, or even of Smiley Smile.

And, oh yes, Nathaniel, you were right about the Aah Ooom Bop Diddies. They're riot only excellent, they're Far Out. And, even if the rest of the album were as bad as Blood Sweat and Tears 3, the Aaah Ooom Bop Diddies would make it all worth while, now wouldn't they?
