FINE INTERFKETATION Tht cort around which the program was built was Bee thoven'i Appassionata," substituted for the lesser "Lea Adieux." It was projected with amplitude, warm eloquence and breadth of vision, whether in its stormy utterances or in the lyrical poesy of its slow movement The pianist's sure command of a wide variety of nuance, from subtle delicacy to surging power, clarified, rather than overstressed, the emotional content Questions that migh be raited concerning certain uses of pedal were of slight significance la Tiew of the lofty tpirit of the performance and the artist'i realization of the nobility of the work. The program was conservative, such at most artists feel necessary to appeal to audiences across the continent.

RARE COMPOSITIONS Novelty was imparted, how ever, by three posthumous pieces of Schubert which even pianists in the audience said they had never heard. These pieces were full of Schubertian lyricism, improvisation-like in their freedom, and continually varying in mood, like an April day. Debusty't Tour le Piano," with itj mingling of East In dian and early French flavors, had a ringing, chiming per formance, though some thought a more immediate glow of color might have been imparted. Liszt clever, whimsical "Dance of the Gnomes" and his dazzling "Mephisto" waltz concluded the program. MATURE ARTISTRY Arrau's mature artistry, in his mid-fifties, strikes a balance of ardent Latin temper ament with solid authority de rived from thorough German training.

Richly costumed in obvious authenticity of the period, Homeo and Juliet in its hour and a half length traces with almost too loving care the tragic story of senseless family feuding and lovers hdcrificcd to their respective parents' stupidity.

NOT THE SAME Although one cannnot react as sympathetically to the overall story of thu dance film or in quite the same deep manner which was practically automatic when the English movie version of the play was Known here, there is much to said in favor of the Rus sian effort. The music, alone by Sergei Prokofiev ft worth a lot. Tybalt is played and danced with passionate earnestness by Yermolavev; dancer Zhdanov makes an exceptionally hand-tome Romeo. Some of the ballet dueling sequences are as exciting as anything of that kind on film to date. But for all its values, it is unlikely that the Elmwood movie will have great appeal for the usual devotee of foreign films.

It requires a specialized audience for genuine appreciation. Pat Priest Bows In 'Bus Stop' Play Openin" tonight in the comedy, "Bus Stop" by William Inge, will be Pat Priest, daughter of Ivy Baker Priest, treasurer of the United States.

Ross Valley Cast Vary in Occupation When casting had been completed for the Ross Valley Player production of "The Desperate Hours," director Fred Adair found he had a group of people whose real occupations were at odds with the characters they are to portray in the play.

For example, the husband and wife suggest, in some vague way, a possible "mar riage between radio ana television. Shirley Ward as the wife, is really married to radioman Bill Weaver; the play's husband is Roland Ir ving, television promotion manajer. The three escaped convicts who terrorize the household present an even stranger con trast. Skip Sommer, the leader, is a sales representative for International Business a chines. His younger brother is Jerry Citti, a high school student.

The slow-witted third member of the trio is played by Grant Halsing, real estate man. Fred Adair, the director, is a sales representative for a number of television and radio stations. The only one who has a part like himself is 10-year-old Tim McCann. He plays a 10-year old boy. "The Desperate Hours" plays tonight and tomorrow at The Barn.

He has limited his acting engagements to 12 weeks. "I want to write as much as elm" he explains. "It's like compulsion, but if I act too long I have no leisure to write." i But Coward loves the West Coast so he was induced to make an exception and come here professionally star of "Nude With Violin," his newest comedy, and "Present Laughter," one of his favorite plays, at the Curran, given as alternating performances.
