ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH 5B Obituaries Apr. 25, 1985 arts Reviews County Might Try To Buy Weiss Airport In Fenton Kent Smith; Starred In Films In '40s, '50s HOLLYWOOD (UPI) Kent Smith, a leading man who seldom won the leading lady in dozens of movies 'Ceremonies' A Great End For Local Drama Season He was a native of New York City and was educated at Harvard. Mr. Smith was pronounced dead of congestive heart failure at the residential hospital.

He starred in such films as "Cat People," "Hitler's Children," Land Is Mine," "The Spiral Staircase," "Laura Prentiss "The Fountain-head," "This Earth Is Mine," "Strangers When We Meet" and more than 20 other films. After his leading-man roles, lie played character parts in such films as "Death of a Gunfighter," and "Pete 'n' Tillie." He retired in 1978. Mr. Smith is survived by his wife, Edith, and a daughter, Stacey Baum. during the 1940s and '50s, died at the Motion Picture and Television Hospital Wednesday.

He was 78. Mr. Smith was best known in later years for his role as Dr. Robert Morton in the "Peyton Place" TV series in 1964-65. (Kb Theater ByPhilSutin Of the Post-Dispatch Staff St.

Louis County might buy Weiss Airport in Fenton to preserve it as a general aviation facility serving South County. But the county will be able to buy the airport only if the federal government will pay 90 percent of the cost, William Skaggs, executive assistant to County Executive Gene McNary, said Wednesday. Officials declined to estimate the cost of the airport. As a first step, McNary has asked the Federal Aviation Administration to include Weiss in the plan for a national airport system. By doing that, the airport would become eligible for federal money.

The airport, which opened in 1939, is on 55 acres east of Larkin Williams Road and south of Rudder Avenue. It has a north-south runway of 3,030 feet, but it lacks a tower and is unable to handle instrument landings. The airport sees about 110,000 takeoffs and landings a year. County officials decided to act now because the airport's longtime owner, Gene Taylor, died two weeks ago. Officials are concerned that the site could be sold as industrial property.

"The airport houses 200 aircraft in a highly developed and expanding industrial area," said Richard Hrabko, manager of the county-owned Spirit of St. Louis Airport. "We need the airport to attract growth." He said the loss of the airport would hinder economic development. Skaggs said the Weiss site was too small to be developed as an industrial park, like the one at the Spirit of St. Louis Airport in Gumbo.

Unlike Spirit, Weiss is in a heavily developed industrial area. A spokeswoman for the airport said that about half of the aircraft based at Weiss were planes used in businesses. The rest are owned and operated by individuals. A draft of a plan for an airport system for the St. Louis region lists Weiss as one of 16 key regional, general aviation airports.

The plan calls for improvements at Weiss. The plan was prepared for the East-West Gateway Coordinating Council. Mr. Smith 1961 photo Judge Sarah Hughes, 88; Gave Oath To LBJ DALLAS (AP) U.S. District Judge Sarah T.

Hughes, who swore in Lyndon B. Johnson as president after the 1963 assassination of President John F. Kennedy, has died at the age of 88. Judge Hughes, who had been appointed to the bench by Kennedy, died about 11 p.m. Tuesday at Presbyterian Hospital, said an aide, Lois Swan Jones.

She had suffered a strokethree years ago and had been in a nursing home since, Ms. Jones said. She was hospitalized in February. Johnson and his wife, Lady Bird, were personal friends of Judge Hughes, and when Kennedy was assassinated Nov. 22, 1963, Johnson called for her to give him the oath of office.

12 To Get Scout Thanks Badge Agnes M. Fuerbringer; Taught 48 Years for the St. Louis School Board; Linda B. Salamon, dean of the College of Arts and Sciences at Washington University; and Terri L. Palmer, a student at Rosati-Kain High School.

Deaths Elsewhere The Girl Scout Council of Greater St. Louis will present 12 volunteers with the Thanks Badge at a luncheon Friday at the Sheraton St, Louis Hotel downtown. That award is the highest given to adults involved in scouting. The council also will install four new members to its board of directors at the luncheon. Receiving the Thanks Badge are Karen Adderton, Martha Crimmins, Fredericka Carlotta Francis, Joan Newman, Mary Whitehead, Shirley Fox and Doris Heise, all of St.

Louis; Joy Brown of Bridgeton; Cathie Sanzottera of Manchester; Barbara Hill of Florissant; Pat Vogt of St. Charles; and Linda Cuneio of Sullivan, Mo. The new board members were all elected as members-at-large. To be installed at the luncheon are James J. Burkemper, president of Ira E.

Berry Realtors; Susan B. LaGrone, coordinator of the magnet law project The family members are driven in all directions at once by their own greed, and their divisions set up an ultimate tragedy, but Elder is too wise to offer any certain indications of whether this will bring them together again or drive them so far apart that all continuity will be lost. Ward stumbled over a couple of lines, but was a powerful presence, a man who showed unquestioning and often unthinking love toward his children but, at the same time, a strong desire to tell stories and play checkers rather than work toward supporting the family. When he spun one of his many nostalgic tales, and the one about the chain gang comes to mind first, his voice was rich and magnificent, and the story rolled through the theater in glorious style. As an aside, let me take a moment here to point out how exciting it is to hear actors who understand diction and projection; the voices in "Ceremonies" are not amplified, and it is a thrill to listen to them.

Ward portrays a Russell Parker who is eminently human, filled with weaknesses and shortcomings, but always understandable. Graham Brown offered outstanding balance as Ward's checker-playing friend; he is a leavening to the entire production, a voice of calm and order in a harried and disorderly world. David wove a wonderful tale of taking a child to the park, a tale that turned frightening as he spoke of the child's mother his lover but he held the audience almost breathless during the interlude. Holley, Hudson and Walter Allen Bennett Jr. are excellent.

Holley is stronger in the first act when her anger has more justification, and Bennett builds a street kid in fine style. Hudson grows throughout the evening, and his second-act attitudes, when he realizes the trap that he has built for himself, are just right. Ward's direction is smooth, and so is the technical work. It includes a set by Charles Henry McClennahan, costumes by Judy Dearing and lighting by John Mark Lucas, adapted from Shirley Prendergast's original. There was a small problem with rear lighting that distracted a portion of the audience in the first act, but it was corrected at intermission.

"Ceremonies" will brighten the American stage through May 5, and will be the final production of the local professional theater season. The action moves outdoors on June 17 when the Muny Opera opens its season in Forest Park with "A Chorus Line." By Joe Pollack pf the Post-Dispatch Staff By happy coincidence, the 1984-85 St. Louis theater season is ending the way it began with a well-per- formed, highly dramatic revival of a great play by a black playwright. The Rep started it last September with a 25th-anniversary production of the late Lorraine Hansberry's "A Raisin in the Sun." The Muny wraps it up with a visit by the Negro Ensemble Company, marking the 15th anniversary of "Ceremonies in Dark Old Men," with a revival tour that opened a two-week run Tuesday at the Ameri- can Theater. The NEC was three years old when "Ceremonies," by Lonne Elder III, at St.

Mark's Playhouse in New York, and the play, directed by and starring the company's co-' founder and artistic director, Douglas Turner Ward, gave the infant group national stature. Ward repeats those dual functions here, leading a solid cast that takes the audience on an emotional roller coaster, swooping through all the many paradoxes of a family relationship love and hate, pain and pleasure, tears and laughter and examining the fabric of which it is woven. Elder, who also wrote the screenplay for "Sounder," sets his story in 1950. Ward, a widower, lives with his three children in Harlem, ostensibly running a barber shop but spending most of his time playing checkers. The daughter works and supports the family because the brothers are loafers, involved in petty crime and "hanging out." Patty Holley, the daughter, resents filling the same role as her mother, and she has given the men an ultimatum find jobs or move out.

Suddenly they do find jobs. A friendly criminal, played with real power by Keith David, sets the three men up as moonshine distillers and distributors, with a little numbers racket as an added attraction. The money flows in, but Holley loses her position of authority, which rankles, and all three men take to the sudden influx of wealth as if it were cocaine. Ruben Hudson, the older son, takes charge of the operation, and suddenly discovers that he is doing all the work while the other family members run and play. His resentment is just as strong as Holley's was, and the switch positions makes its own statements 'without Elder having to belabor the point.

Concordia Seminary, and granddaughter of the Rev. Dr. Ottomar Fuerbringer, a founder of the seminary. Miss Fuerbringer was a board member of the Musical Research Society and a volunteer with the St. Louis Symphony Society Auxiliary and the League of Women Voters.

She received a bachelor's degree from Washington University. Surviving are two brothers, the Rev. Dr. Alfred Fuerbringer of Rock Hill, a retired president of Concordia Seminary, and Otto Fuerbringer of Greenwich, a former managing editor of Time magazine and a Post-Dispatch reporter; two sisters, Clara Reinke of Wilmington, and Irmgard Zorn of St. Louis.

A funeral for Agnes M. Fuerbringer, a retired teacher, will be at 3 p.m. Friday at Hoffmeister Colonial Mortuary, 6464 Chippewa Street. Burial will be in Concordia Cemetery. Miss Fuerbringer, 86, died Wednesday at the St.

Louis Altenheim. She had suffered a stroke last month. She lived in west St. Louis until she moved to the nursing home three years ago. She retired from the St.

Louis Public Schools in 1966 after being with the system for 48 years. Miss Fuerbringer taught in elementary schools, mostly third-graders at Dewey School. She was a daughter of the Rev. Dr. Ludwig Fuerbringer, a president of CLARA LANE, 85, a well-known matchmaker for 50 years who once estimated that she had brought together more than 25,000 couples, has died.

The self-styled "merchant of loneliness" died Monday at a hospital in Glendale, Calif. At one time, her ads ran in hundreds of newspapers across the country. They said: "You don't have to spend another weekend alone." Clients paid her $350 to find companions. She opened the first of her Friendship Centers in New York in the 1930s. ffinEsral eotfces 017 Fraternal Notices LUNSFORD See Reed FRIEDECK.

(BARRY), April 24, 1985, beloved hnahjinri nf Mnru but gorgeous sounds. He made me hear the Bach Sonata No. for solo violin (BWV 1001) without concern for all the double and triple stops and all the arduous leaping around the fingerboard. Big-technique players abound, but Oliveira has a fabulous feel for how the music really ought to go. The delightful Sonata No.

3 (Op. 12) by Beethoven had just the right amount of dynamic contrast, a perfect lilt in the Rondo, the calculated pause in the Adagio. Even the static, declamatory, and episodic Sonata in minor of Respighi gained stature from the commitment with which it was performed. With its down-to-earth approach, its remarkable lyricism and its strong rhythms, the Prokofiev Sonata in (Op. 94) is one of the glories of the chamber-music literature.

Oliveira, along with pianist Robert McDonald, climbed inside and tossed off every racing melody, every abruptly shifting phrase with such aplomb and insight that the audience was on its feet asking for more. The encore by Fritz Kreisler was precise, balanced, and totally engaging, just like everything else that preceded it By John Huxhold The assurance of absolute technical proficiency changes one's concertgo- experience in a wonderful way. can focus on the mind of the composer rather than the labors of a performer. An emotional synthesis of listener, music and artist takes place. That was the kind of satisfaction I enjoyed Tuesday night during violinist Elmar Oliveira's recital at the St.

Louis Conservatory. When he first came to St. Louis several years ago, he got rave i reviews and was placed in the compa- I -1 -ny of Schlomo Mintz and Yo Yo Ma as charter member of the next of superstar string players. Now, T-1 -Uke Ma, he is no longer on his way up, sits securely at the top. It's easy to why.

Oliveira has a smoothness of tone "and delivery that is so uncannily units-; -'-form as to be almost slick. The soft, passages sing like a glass har- monica. Yet when he digs in and gets -loud, he puts a burr on the tone for the reason that an organist might V. -choose a reed stop not to be harsh but to be interesting.

BERBER MEMORIAL Service. McClean's "And I Love Her So." And Bob Haworth, although he's only been with the group for two months, exhibited all the qualities spontaneity, enthusiasm, rapport with the crowd that have spelled success for the Kingston Trio over the years. Shane, Grove and Haworth quickly dispelled the formality of the hall with cornball jokes directed at ex-wives, ex-group members and the city of San Francisco, to name a few. They were equally adept at exchanging good-natured insults among themselves, a trait which is as much a part of the their style as their vocal harmony. No better example of that harmony could be found Tuesday than in their breathtaking rendition of Gordon Lightfoot's "Early Morning Rain." Typically, they took turns singing lead in the verses, then all joined in on the chorus.

Louis Symphony. Society's variety series. Although this isn't quite the same group that hit it big with Tom Dooley" in 1958, nor the one that stirred a nation with Pete Seegert "Where Have All The Flowers Gone?" in 1962, the Kingston Trio of 1985 retains many of the qualities that made its predecessors so popular. Bob Shane, the only remaining member of the original trio, did an excellent job of turning back the clock with his deep, sexy lead vocals on "Scotch and Soda." George Grove, who joined in 1973, made quite an impression with his solo effort on Don FORSTER, WALTER April 24. 1985.
