Nothing was more apparent than that Friday night at the Ark. Poets were made for the guillotine. Philistines know much more. I was chasing down identities. God, I must have run a mil- lion miles. Siebel's songs are the product of a sensitivity that comes out also in the way he tells his stories, pensively staring up into space, holding a cigarette. He tells them not as tales to entertain an audience but as anecdotes that offer glimpses into the elusive reality in which he lives. He sings his country-style songs with a voice that has no particular attraction of its own, but matches his vision and his face, drawn but sensitive. Sie- bel's more-than-adequate guitar work this weekend and the real- ly fine accompaniment *of his back-up electric and bass guitar- ists contribute to the total ef- fect of his performance. "I know some ladies of ill re- pute; they're all right. They go drinking; they pay - pay for you, too" - he introduced "Lou- ise," a song about a prostitute, a song which was, like all his songs about women, particularly musical poetics Paid Political Advertisement This motion picture, trom the maker o1 "Mondo cane" is based on historical tacts. it presents 10 the public,for the first time. the specilic and uncompromising details 8o slavery as it developed in America.

If you're a man, you'd better end it fast. There'stno reason here, there's no treason here, It's just the way of a wo- man's mind. She has no blame, she has no shame, She just loves you. Siebel has been around since just before Dylan; in some ways Siebel may be the better song- writer. There is far less of the abstract imagery and declama- tory style found in much of Dy- lan's work. Dylan bot the breaks and went on to establish an era, Siebel stayed small time and wrote fantastic songs like "Span- ish Johnny." He turned to Jimmy Rodgers as his ideal. The few songs he performed that were not his own were mainly Jimmy Rodgers', songs; he was particularly fine on "Women they make a fool out of me. Siebel writes personal, not generally political songs, al- though "The Ballad of Honest Sam" was dedicated to Richard Nixon ("Sooner or later we all get ripped off. In two days, the great rip-off - when America goes to the, polls") : I doubt 'there's a bad man in the movies Can lie and cheat like Honest Sam. In a bar down in St. Louis He takes the pay from the working man. Honest Sam lives in a man- sion. He sails his ships out on the sea. If the devil pays his ransom, Well, I guess he'll pay for you and me. His songs more often reflect the learning process of life: The trouble with love is you must give all, It's best to call it alone. Love's so hard to take when you have to fake Everything in return. You just preserve her when you serve her A little tenderness. By the close of the evening the brief visions into Siebel's reality had meshed into enough of a whole to deeply affect even the least sensitive in an audience that had been receptive from the beginning of the evening. He'll be back once more to- night. Try to see him.

Don Juan by Phoenix, Repertory 'delightful!' By JAN BENEDETTI During the early seventeenth century, Tirso de Molina, a Span- ish monk-dramatist, wrote the play "El Burlador de Sevilla" and thereby brought to life that indefatigable a n d unrepentant lover, Don Juan. Decades and several versions later, Moliere took the Don Juan story, embroidered it, added, subtracted characters and pro- duced his "Don Juan." Although he tacked on the re- quired damnation of Don Juan- possibly to appease a not-too- tolerant king - Moliere's opinion of his hero remains ambiguous. He never quite condemns Don Juan. Instead of letting other characters demolish or ridicule Don Juan's criticisms of religion, Moliere permits only a few feeble objections. But, more importantly, the frame of the play provides Moliere with a forum for satire on the evils of religious hypoc- risy, doctors and honor. Moral judgments take second place to satire, as Moliere ex- poses his favorite devil-hypoc- risy. This theme runs throughout the play. Don Juan promises marriage to one woman, while he really intends to leave her. He finally decides to become a total hypo- crite and preach morality, while secretly continuing his pursuit of pleasure. In spite of flaws in the plot, un- resolved conflicts, and jerky ac- tion, Moliere's comedy provides two hours of delightful theater. The New Phoenix Repertory Company in their production of "Don Juan" hasdcreated a rich and exciting addition to this year's Professional Theatre Pro- gram season. DirectorStephen Porter has overcome the play's episodic structure by bringing out the flow of the action. He unites the scenes with a number of tricks and lets the actors incorporate scene changes into the action. Porter sets up a contrast be- tween the flashy Don Juan and the practicalaservant Sganarelle. The two characters are present- ed as equally important. Don Juan is the doer, while Sgana- relle is the commentator, the critic. John McMartin as Sganarelle almost steals the show. While he disagrees with his master's con- duct, he knows he must safe- guard his job and not object too openly. Shuffling and scurrying around in his attempts ,to please both his master and his conscience, McMartin is often reduced to a comic confusion of half-sentences, shrugs and failing argumients. He makes the servant an in- teresting character who is sev- eral cuts above the typical ob- sequieous, whining blob. Paul Hecht strides along as the self-seeking Don Juan. He buries any objections in a flood of logic, intimidating teeth and intense looks. He emphasizes the swashbuck- ing charm of the role. As he in- sults his stodgy father, the dead, and God with ease, he makes the lack of remorse rather appeal- ing. John Glover as Pierrot graces the play with an easy charm. In one scene, Glover objects that Charlotte, played by Charlotte Moore, does not -love him since she does not constantly hit or tease him. Glover and Moore in- vest their one scene with simple, light humor. The costumes, by Nancy Potts, are perfect for the play. The rich blacks and golds worn by Don Juantwork b e a ul t i f u 11 y against the faded clothes of Sganarelle. so sorry .

PERMIT FREEDOM OF CHOICE-All women should have the right to choose when and if they will bear children. The social and economic implications of an unwanted birth are many and no law or government should be able to disregard these facts by denying the right to abortion. No one of any religious or ethical belief need ever have an abortion or perform one under the proposed abortion reform law. 2. PUT AN END TO HYPOCRISY-Women who have money will always be able to go out of state to get a safe, legal abortion. Michigan women received 7,296 abortions in New York last year. Those who remain in Michigan must resort to back-alley or self-inflicted abortions, often leading to hemorrhage, uterine damage, infection, sterility and death. All the Michigan maternal deaths in the three years, 1969-1971, due to infection from illegal abortions were black. 3. PROVIDE A HUMANE AND COMPASSIONATE SOLUTION-The present law, passed in 1848 served to protect women when abortion was a dangerous operation. Now the risk of death from an abortion done under proper medical supervision during the first 12 weeks is less than for a full- term pregnancy. In New York, 80 percent of the abortions performed from July-September 1971 were in the first trimester. We have every reason to believe early abortions will be the rule, not the exception, in Michigan with passage of the abortion reform law. WHY LEGALIZE ABORTION TO 20 WEEKS GESTATION? " Not all pregn'ancies are confirmed before the 12 week point. Examples of this are women with ir- regular periods, nursing mothers who have no periods, menopausal women who think their fertility is over, and the poor, the young and the ignorant who may not understand what is happening and be reluctant to seek advice. " During the 12-16 week period there is no safe, effective or desirable technique for terminating pregnancy. The only method available is a relatively unsafe one called hysterotomy, which re- quires an abdominal incision. " Fetal abnormalities cannot be detected before the 16-18 week of gestation and several more weeks are needed for lob processing. The chances of a woman 35 years or older having a Mongoloid child are much higher than for a younger woman and she must have this extended time period to ensure she will either deliver a healthy child or be able to arrange for an abortion.
