21 i THE RECORD, MONDAY, FEBRUARY 5, 1968 Steve And Eydie Are Brilliant Miss Matisse Due To Sing Feb. 26 ESSEX FELLS In its Christian artist series, the Northeast v. carefree hero is still the proprietor of a seedy hotel and the pal of his realisti." bi't adoring 10-ycar-old son. The icminine lead is still the hero's sister-in-law and. since the boy's mother is dead, slio' the trustee of the money left t-y his songs will be suitable for jukebox popularity.

If Lawrence seems a little more relaxed onstage than Miss i Gorme, it may be due to his appearance several seasons ago as the major star and box olii -e stimulant of a Broadway musical called "What Makes Sammy Run." It's a small Us." "Kid," "I've Got to be Me." "All in Fun" and "How Could I Be So Scott Jacoby gives a direct, clean performance as the boy, Joseph Sirola is excellent as a bloodlessly charmin" ganioliiv tycoon, and there are amusing supporting portrayals by Kass, Fay Will Hussung. Sid Raymond and Marilyn Cooper. Arthur Storch's statin'; seems laggard, and the choreo .1 i ern Collegiate Bible Institute of Essex Fells will present Miss Janice Matisse, mezzo-soprano, in a musical concert on February 26. in Institute campus chapel at 8 p.m. Janice Matisse, in demand for recitals, operas, and as guest soloist, has appeared as "Carmen" more than 40 times throughout the metropolitan area.

In both opera and concert, she has shared the stage with many Metropolitan Opera artists, and sings regularly with Jerome Hines in the opera he composed based on the life of Christ. She has been soloist with the I.itt'e Orchestra Society. New Jersey Symphony, American Symphony of New York. North Jersey Philharmonic Indianapolis S-'tmhnn-. ijiiiiHuimiiiiii gMVTHEATRES Play Premiere matter in any case, since Mis Gorme plays a tense, self- i conscious lady.

Moreover, they're fine in their numbers together. I The locale of the Schulman story has been shifted from I Florida to Las Vegas, but the' i i I i i grandfather. The solution to it all, natch, is romance. The Las Vegas angle is an excuse for the prod.Htioii numbers, including one of the sumptuousness of the Ziegfeld era. It also provides a chance for numerous jokes for the special appreciation of the apparently huge population that commutes to that grandiose gambling center.

As an offhand guess, the outstanding songs are "We Got lower register but strained at the top. Robert Atherton's Silvio was acceptable and agreeable. The small part of Beppe sung by Joaquin Roma-guera was a pleasure. The voice was pure and the acting relaxed and natural, by far the best of the evening in the area of acting.

The same demanding program was offered in all concerts: Friday at Montclair, Saturday at Millburn, Sunday afternoon and evening at the Orrie de Nooyer Auditorium in Hackensack.

Sizeable audiences greeted the orchestra throughout. In the first two engagements violinist Ruggiero Ricci a high powered performance of Lalo's "Symphonic Espagnole." It was played with his usual strength and aplomb and brought portions of the audience to its feet in a deserved ovation. Throughout, Ricci's tone was attractive and his technique exciting. He developed a sensual tone in the second movement and played a sensationally effective sal-tarello in the finale. The Sunday performances showcased the young violinist Yoko Matsuda for the initial concerts of the New Jersey Distinguished Artist Series.

A syiwm ST-mrrHtRrORB- j-isoe LAST 2 EVENINGS Eves. Only Sun. from 4 P.M. HEPBURN trrnn I ALAN I ARKIN VUJ.y,i RICHARD UWJ CRENNA L-J "THE JOKERS" By HOBE MORRISON' Drama Reviewer NEW YORK After playing 1 five weeks of what were designated as previews, "Gol- den Rainbow" finally opened oliicially last night before an audience of members of the Steve and Eydie fan club. Since Steve Lawrence and Eydie Gorme are the stars of the i show and are onstage most of the time, it was a rapturous occasion.

For a non-dedicated observer, "Golden Rainbow" is an elaborate, rather slow musical comedy with several numbers in what is presumably Las Vegas cabaret style, and a catalogue of songs for the two stars to belt out in their inimitable powerhouse fashion. The show may never win a prize for quality, but it should satisy the army of Steve and Eydie admirers. The book by Ernest Kinoy, based on Arnold Schulman's play. "A Hole in the Head," is a plodding story that at least serves as a basis of numerous i songs and production routines, and fulfills its primary function i of keeping the stars visible and busy. The scenery is lavish and complicated, and the costumes on the admirably symetrical shcwgirls are simple and skimpy.

There are several male dancers and two or three ladies who dance a little hit. but the men are principally occupied in moving about and tossing individuals into the v. T1k a i S11 's. intent. Oil beUl IOO fl at.

Intermissions are still too long. With the few drawbacks the final mark for the effort would have to be A with many people pleased and looking forward to the next offering. These Fairleigh Dickinson University Concerts under the guidance of John Harms offer the same concert free to high school students in the afternoon as the adults hear in the Miss Matsuda's interpretation of the Lalo work was elegant and graceful.

She seemed to be inside the work giving forth a sensitive performance. The soloist was able to measure up to the strenuous portions with case. Schermerhorn led his forces in a straightforward reading of Stravinsky's "Le Sacre du Printemps." A rigid beat was maintained as framework for expression and passion of the composition. Orchestral textures were rich, tension was obvious and the beauty great. To open the concerts, a spirited and orderly performance of overture to "The Abduction from the Seraglio" was presented.

March 8 and 9 will be the last suburban concerts of the orchestra, featuring an all-request program. The next event on the New Jersey Distinguished Artist Series will present the Princeton Chamber Orchestra Saturday afternoon and night, March 9. WILLIAM NEWMAN worldwide stir in the bustling 1940s. Seldom does a mail delivery reach this office without an inquiry or two from inquisitive seniors wanting to know what ever happenec1 to this star or that one. The vast majority of these old-timers are still hanging on the fringe of film and television production, barely eking out an existence in bit or extra roles.

A couple of dozen others, possessed perhaps of more fortitude and pride, have enlisted with agencies booking revival shows into strawhat theaters throughout the country. An old line movie name, even if totirins, by courtesy of a 20-year eclipse, is invariably attractive bait in big cities as well as small towns. The sorry side is that although earning a livelihood (average salary SS30 weekly) such prolonged tours keep the principals out of Hollywood for six to 10 months at a time. Thus they're unavailable if a movie or TV acting job of any importance does turn up. Beautiful Linda Darnell, at 42, was much more unfortunate than Dana Andrews.

People around Hollywood, notably casting directors, had found it hard to get steady work in movietown, she, too. had taken to the road. It was in Chicago, in 1965, that the world that once was hers was alerted to her tragic death in an apartment fire in the home of a friend.

Judging by the enthusiasm of the Saturday night crowd, few were disappointed. If the performance was an indication of things to come, then Bergen County can look forward to some fine operatic evenings. Artistic director George Ungaro enlisted the support of union musicians for his soloists and the result was gratifying compared to the past season. Congressman Henry Helsto-ski and former State Senator Ned J.

Parsekian spoke briefly during intermission of the need for such cultural events hi an area of such growth as Bergen County. Conductor Anton Coppola had firm and interesting ideas of pace and shading and his control was always authoritative. The chorus, though a bit awkard in moving about the stage, did sound fine and strong in both operas. Characterizations in "Cav- aueua were well sung with soprano Margarita Zam- brana displaying a sizable voice with good range coupled with simple acting. Bernard Green's solid baritone did well in the difficult aria of Alfio.

Janice Matisse as Lola and Maria West as Mama Lucia were fine. Tenor Andre Pousseur of the Royal Opera of Belgium walked off with the opera wilh his blustering interpretation of Turiddu. His voice was thick with a good, round and full ring from bottom to astounding top, and he frequently tore into top notes which dominated orchestra, chorus and soloists. His posturings were wooden but they may have been his idea of the nervous lover caught between two women. The unfortunate lapse of memory toward the end of the opera could also be overlooked because of the exceptional drama of the voice.

Leoncavallo's "Pagliacci" also fared well. Giovanni Consiglio did a fine job. His voice rings well at the top and he knows how to get the most from a dramatic phrase. Undoubtedly he was the old pro on the stage for the opera and his work drew cheers from the house. Maria Di Gerlando's Nedda was driven and tormented convincingly.

The voice rose to beautiful heights in "Stri-dono lassu" and in her duets. George Ungaro's "Prologue" was satisfactory in the IMA 4 )))!

Had Andrews' accident, which still remains something of a mystery, occurred 20 years ago, when he was soaring as a headliner at 20th Century-Fox, the news would have broken in six minutes, not six days. Dana, like so many other former greats, has taken to the road the past several years.

He was appearing in a touring version of "The Odd Couple" in St. Louis when the painful results of a fall suffered in Indianapolis caught up with him.
