Oppoluttuttig Many years ago, Emerson, probably while browsing through an art gallery, said, "I think sculptures and painting have an effect to teach us manners and abolish hurry." Any effect that could have a powerful enough influence on Behrend ites to make them stop their fantastic pace for a few moments, and also teaches manners deserves, at the very least, our undivided interest and attention. The Fine Arts Soicety of Behrend intends to do just that in a salute to the Arts in Erie with a series of four evening programs to be held in the J. Elmer Reed building. The series begins on February 9, with an Art Exhibit slated as a tribute to the Erie Art Center. It will include more than 100 painting and sculptures by local artists and Penn State Faculty. The highlight of the exhibition will be a talk on modern art given by Mr. Edward Weeks, Assistant to the Director of the Albright-Knox Art Gallery in Buffalo, New York. The exhibit will be open to the publick from 7 to 8 o'clock and from 9 to 10 o'clock Friday evening. Mr. Weeks' talk will start at 8 o'clock. To honor the civic theatre, the program in cludes a performance by the Lords International Marionette Theatre. Created, designed, and staged by Daniel Lords, The puppetry includes entertainment from the realm of child fantasy to mature theatrical art. With the use of 250 hand-carved and painted marionettes, Mr. Lords depicts the cultures, folklores, and classics of opera of many different countries, and the acclaim he received while on tour in 11 foreign countries and the U. S., reveals the quality of his refreshing entertainment. THE NITTANy Cuß me XVIV No. l2 Januar 25 1968 e&m,pu,A eu,t-taita,t BEHREND SALUTES THE ARTS by Eileen Bowden April the sth, finds the campus saluting the Erie Civic Ballet Company with the presentation of the film version of Prokofievs' "Romeo and Juliet" Ballet. Played in most major counties and making it's second appearance in Erie, the movie features the Royal Ballet with Margot Fonteyr and Rudolf Nuryiv, both masters of the ballet, and the orchestra of Londons Royal Opera House. Filmed as a stage presentation, each scene is precided by a description of the action to follow. Before the film, the Behrend Players, under the professional direction of Mr. Ellis Grove, will present Avia Da Cupo, literally "Song from the Head", a morality play in a harlequinade form by Edna St. Vincent Mcllay. The final event of the series, slated for Friday, May 10, tributes The Erie Phil harmonic Society. The program will feature William Lewis tenor, who has appeared at the Metropoletan Opera, the New York City Opera, and NBC TV Opera Theator. Also featured is Robert Baisley, who is head of the Music Department at PSU, pianist, pre senting vocal music by contemporary American com posers. Before this performance the Behrend Campus Concert Band will present a program of light clas sics. According to Jean Paul Richter, "Art is indeed not the bread, but the wine of life". I hope all of you will take advantage of this excel lent program and will remember to reserve your free student tickets in advance. r c ) , ftui2
