January 21,1971 IF YOU WOULD TAKE THE TIME Tne pepsi-generativn, nurtured on coke, has provided the tune, place, and setting for a mutant species of an unknown, but common, origin to develop. With a bit of imagination one could call the rock culture the American Beauty. American Beauty is the title of the Grateful Dead’s most recent mouse production. In a recent issue of Rolling Stone, so I’m told, Jerry Garcia was quoted as saying that this album is a more or less continuation of Workingman’s Dead. It is more thanless! Since their conception the Dead have been primarily a band to experience alive and recorded at tempts until the two most recent albums have always lacked the electricity that the band generates in person. In the beginning their, albums were products of the West Coast music boom, during which record companies dragged every band they could lay their hands on in off the streets, handed them a contract, and attempted to have the live Tree bands of those early days record for profit. The last of studio experience shows in a good many of the early Frisco-groups albums. (Catch Big Brother’s first.) So, we have the Grateful Dead an always popular (to certain cross-sections of the American Breed.), live band producing primarily so-so studio attempts until Workingman’s Dead and now American Beauty. It should be obvious that' what follows is what it is and couldn’t be anything else. Nonetheless it isn’t what you may think... Daydreams can open the door Please Note. . .

Can you believe that there can be beauty in a friend of the devil? Lesh innovations can transfigure more than you might believe, but with the guru of so many pointing out the direction, who could go wrong! Unburdening his mind our friend tells us that if I get with troubles on his mind, like sweet Maria, or a sheriff following, you can understand what I’m saving. Alimony, matrimony, and the first one says she’s got my child, but he don’t look like me. The music to accompany this tale would have to be moving, but not raunchy or pricky like a cactus, right?

Have you ever made a phone call to an operator and found that she knew something you didn’t know, but wanted to, and she wouldn't tell you? Operator has to be a working model of Pig Pen’s mind. He wrote this chapter and adds harp and a bit of his country mind. Only in a Tom Wolfe journey could you find a candyman and could you get caught up in the rhythm of a ride, a bus ride maybe. Jerry Garcia sings a song to you and will you listen to his steel guitar? The benignly he-ell is too much. Organ riffs found their way into the end of act one and as the curtain falls you feel like just laying motionless and allowing your mind to flow into a thousand melodic patterns, but you know that there will come a time to rise and go up, over, up, record, over, back, and down to await act two. Let there be songs to fill the air and if the mandolin finds your heart, roll with it.

Lecture Hall at 8:30 p.m. on Friday and Saturday, January 22 and 23. The program traces the development of the one act play from the typically relaxed comedy of the thirties to the strange and often suspenseful absurdist drama of the con temporary theater. Dorothy Parker and Ring Lardner, both primarily known for their short stories, are represented on the program, as are contemporary playwrights, Edward Albee and Arthur Kopit. Aimed at the adult theater-goer, all of the plays are entertaining and thought provoking. The humor of the thirties always popular with audiences is evident in Dorothy Parker’s “Here We Are.” Kathy Skopow and Dennis Hart are cast as the newlyweds who find that even love isn’t a protection when you say the wrong thing at the wrong time. Though written after the Depression, Ring Lardner’s “The Tridget of Greva” is modern in its concept. This short piece featuring John Greer, Miles Rank and Sheldon Greenwald in its cast was actually the precursor of the theatre of the absurd that was to follow. The author of “Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?” is represented on the program also. Edward Albee examines the American ritual of death in an unexpected location with the assistance of some unusual characters in “The Sandbox.” The cast includes Linda Krebs, Pat Carlyle, Dennis Hart, Mike Chircuzio, and Sheldon Greenwald. Arthur Kopit, author of “Oh Dad, Poor Dad..”, is thought of as one of America’s better young playwrights. His “Chamber Sunday Night At The Movies The Student Union Board’s movie of the week is the Oscar winning classic A Man For All Seasons. One of the most honored films of our time, A Man For All Seasons won six Academy Awards, four New York Film Critics’ prizes, and highest ac claim from the Screen Directors’ Guild and the National Board of Revue.

SUB To Bring Arthur Hull As part of its cultural program, the Behrend Student Union Board plans to present The Arthur Hall Afro-American Dance Ensemble. The Ensemble’s goal is to teach worlds of People about their cultural heritage, including both black and white worlds who might equally respond to the dancing drums of Africa or the cakewalk, jitterbug, and frug of the American experience. Mr. Hall stresses the fact that Africa is the ancestral home of all Black people, and the need for learning to appreciate the beauty of the music, art, dance, and literature as “keys to the soul of a people.” Arthur Hall’s focus on the American Black Cultural tradition has been described as presenting “meaningful vitality, artistic integrity, professional skills and historical knowledge” through music and the dance. The artistry and dignity of in terpretations of native African dances are proof of the beauty of blackness. The Arthur Hall Afro- American Dance Ensemble will appear on January 30at 8:00 p.m. in Erie Hall. Admission is free with activity cards, 75 cents for all other Behrend Students, and $1.50 for the general public. Page Three
