JENNINGS practice to present a grand opera in concert form. Obviously such a production is far less expensive and more easily handled than a full stage presentation, with cos tumes, scenery and action.

Some operas actually sound better in this purely musical style, for ex-J ample the "Wozzeck of Alban! College reunions are over again and the old grads have gone home to resume their routine for another year. There is something about a class reunion that brings out the differences between the sexes. The male and the female of the species behave so differently at the annual parties. Men seem to enjoy them so much more. Women get all dressed up, buy a new hat and a new lipstick and set out to impress their former classmates with how little time has changed them.

When they get together, they let out little squeals of amazement as they greet each other, touch cheeks in imitation of a kiss, then settle back in groups of three or four, in all probability the women they see regularly. They express surprise at how much all the others have changed except the ones in their immediate circle, of course, and say in hushed tones, "I don't think I've changed THAT much." After an hour and a half, they are ready to eo home even Berg, which Mitropoulos made effective in a New York Philhar monic-Symphony program after it ORANGE BUTTERFLIES flit across the top of this orango pint pplt chiffon pit.

They have seen everybody, gathered as much news as possible and re-established their own faith in themselves. And they hurry off. On the other hand, men have a wonderful time. They slap each other on the back, ask how many times the other fellow has been married, what he's doing now and what he thinks of the next election. Just let a car drive up and they all dash madly to the window to see who is arriving next.

"Look," they yell, "Well, if it isn't old Joe. And in a Cadillac. Did you know he was coming? He hasn't been back in three years!" No 10 year old ever had a better time at his birthday party. There seems to be no bitterness, no surprise at how fat or bald the other guy has become, no appraisal of how much his suit cost and no attempt to put the best foot forward. They just let loose and have a wonderful time.
