Most frequently it sounded like the pointillistic music of the Webern school, and generally it was atonal in the Schoenbergian sense. Sometimes it developed the swing of jazz; sometimes a player would hit upon a diverting tune which his colleagues would echo or develop, and now and then the music pro- rhythmical patterns.

And al ways it was free and iinagin ative. Obviously the works, primitive though it may be in its present state of development But equally obviously, it requires gifted musicians to make it The possibilities are fasci nating. Mr. Foss hopes that it will give rise to a new gen eration of composer-performers who will make music together spontaneously, freed of slavery to the printed page, lnat is a large order, but there is no doubt that he has struck out on a new path, and one which may lead to unsuspected discoveries. At least the founda tions have been laid and with surprising success.

Not Like Jazs jazz, or course, is to an extent ensemble improvisa tion, but this differs from jazz in that there Is no given tune, rhythmical scheme or predetermined set of chord combinations. Both the mood and the content are spontaneous, although in the course of preparation a fairly def inite and complicated set of rules ha3 been evolved to serve as guide posts in the search for freedom.

As Mr. Foss explained the system at some length, though none too clearly, it primarily consists of six "rows" or complexes of four tones each, presumably chos en aribitrarily, and a corre sponding 6et of six inversions, all of which serve as tonal centers, the various notes of which may be used either as melodic or harmon ic components, apparently much on the order of Schoen berg's 12-tone system, but with the addition of primary and secondary notes. And to assist in formal or ganization there are formulas which indicate the order in which the players are to U'l STANLEY BEVERLY A KILLS STOWihWriBW. tScwIidrttdptfk UH121 nVTf(Tj 7tHinsti.

mi 1 MUCH MAX KIMS (By Mis Hoppfr'i Staff) Almost a year before "The Disenchanted" can made into a picture, Judd Schulherg, author of Broadway hit, has sent out feelers to Natalie Wood Robert Wagner for the star roles. Under their ew contracts Bob and Vatalie both have outside 'icture privileges and both 'ike the play. "The Dis-nchanted" is the story of icott Fitzgerald as a young nan and Jason Robard3 ir. has been a personal hit in the theater with it Wagner's stock has been rocketing this past year. Natalie Wood He's received offers from three recording companies on the strength of his work "Say One For Me" in which he plays a part originally written with Frank Sinatra in mind.

Both his singing and dancing have proved a sensational surprise. Lloyd Nolan has signed to play the George Cohan role in "Ah, Wilderness! on TV for Hallmark Hall of Fame on April 28. Bob Mulligan will direct and Irene Dunne is being paged for the mother role. This could prove a tryout for Nolan who has the script for a musical version of the Eugene O'Neill classic planned for Broadway this fall. Like Georgo Cohan, Nolan began his career as a song-and-dance man on Broadway, has proven his versatility through the years.

Van Heflin gets the star role in "Seven Women," the Dino DeLaurentiis film for which Gina Lollobrigi-da and Shirley MacLaine have been signed. Martin Ritt is already in Europe working on the script and will direct. Picture will be made partly in Yugoslavia which was location for "The Tempest." Van had a time for himself on that one; took the entire family abroad. YES, IT'S NANETTE!
