It will be the second Forest Park present3tion of the Arabian Nighfs musical which closed the 1956 season with a two-week run. The role of Hajj, the hear-poet, will be played by Gene Barry, television's Bat Masterson. The appearance will be Barry's first on the 'legitimate stage in a decade.

His last stage appearances were in Opera productions "Lady in the Dark" and ''The Pink in In 5o. Jacqueline James will repeat the role of Lalume she played in the 1955 production of "Kismet." Beverly Allyson. who played Tuptim last summer in 6F iT JACQUELINE jAMES stage the dances as they did in 1956. The story of "Kismet" is by Charles Lederer and Luther Davis. It is based on the play by Edward Knoblock which served Otis Skinner as a starring vehicle for many years in- the role of Flajj.

The score by Robert Wright and George Forrest is based On music by the Russian corn, poser, Alexander Borodi n. Among the more than a dozen exotic songs are "Stranger in Paradise," "Baubles, Bangles and Beads" and "And This Is My Beloved." All three songs were on the Hit Parade for months after the musical opened its Broadway run of nearly 6000 performances in 1953. The melody of "Stranger in Paradise" is from Borodin's "In the Steppes of Central Asia," that of "And This is CD CONCERT NOTES By F. A. KLEIN Globe-Democrat Music Editor LUICAS FOSS and WILLIAM BERGSMA, contemporary American composers, are paired on a COLUM BIA disc that does much to advance cause of mod- ern American -4 music.

It is part of a projected series by the record firm, and one can only hope that it will be Lukas Foss continued and expanded. As one composer has put it: "American music gets published and performed all over the world nowadays, but the recording companies pretend it doesn't exist. And every year the backlog of unrecorded music gets vaster:" Cohmbia is doing something to reducethat backlog. In this instance, it Is string quartets. The American Art Quartet performs the initial effort of Mr.

Foss in the form, and the Juilhard String Quartet negotiates the Bergsma Third Quartet. Mr. Foss, tall and rangy and with an unruly mop of black hair. will be remembered here for his guest-conducting a few seasons ago. He is, primarily, a composer of orchestral, choral.

and operatic works. The string quartet was written 1947, when he was only 23 ARA however, cannot be brushed as just the work of precocious youth. It is well constructed, with a lyric flow, and is played with fine blend and balance by the American Art ensemble. Mr. Bergsma, on the other hand, is much more individualistic in his quartet-writing.

Whatever he has absorbed from his illustrious predecessors in this intricate art he has transmuted by his own originality and inventive skill, his way with rhythm and melody and contrasts. The Rillliard, also remembered here for superb performances in the Ethical series, is ideal for die Bergsma work, playing it cleanly. crisply, propulsively. THE LOUISVILLE orches- with its commissioned se. ries, also continues its valiant work in the cause of advancing music.

This time it is BEATRICE: An Opera in Three Acts, with music by Lee Hoiby and libretto by Marcia Nardi. based on Maurice Maeterlinck's "Sister Beatrice." which was LE SUNDAY, JUNE 199 1960 isville on the occasion of the dedication of its new radio and television center, was given its first performance on WAVE-TV Oct. 23, 1959, and its first stage performance in Columbia Auditorium Oct. 30. It was produced and directed by Moritz Bomhard with cast- from the Kentucky Opera Association and members of the Louisville Orchestra.

It is now, with the same forces engaged, included in the orchestra's First Edition record series. The story of the opera is too long to retell here; it concerns a religious legend of the middle ages, and it is most effectively sung here, with music and book adroitly adjoined. One's only regret is that American composers of opera do not look closer to home for their material. While the "great American like the "great American novel," still remains to be put together, it must be said that the novelists are far ahead of the composers in their efforts toward it. TOP RANK ALSO inaugurates a new series of creative albums w)th the issuance of the two-disc "History of Cante Flamenco." It was recorded in Spain by Hispavox S.A., and therefore should have all the authenticity anyone could ask.

It is fascinating to listen to Manolo Caracol interpret these songs, with guitar accompaniment by Melchor De Marchena, and it is equally faccinating to read the documentary study by Prof. M. Garcia 'Matos. Caracol has just the voice and the emotional control for these songs. which call for evocations of grief, violent passion, heartache.

The presentation here is both realistic and handsome, and the album itself is quite off the beaten track. CARYL CHESSMAN is gone but not forgotten. "Sounds of the Century" has released a 50 minute documentary disc which contains the highlights of this celebrated case, which developed into a fight against capital punishment. In this recording. Chessman's voice was obtained from a 1958 interview.

He talks about his case, crime, juvenile delinquency, and other subjects. who figured in the case also are heard. The disc. a product of John Hart, radio newsman, and George Casey. free lance writer, captures a bit of contemporary history that may take on greater significance in the perspective of 0 171 VOODOO AND SUSPENSE in the Brazilian jungle involve June Wilkinson and William Wellman in "Macumba Love," next attraction at Loew's State.

After Marsinah disappears, Hajj finds her as a member of the Wazir's harem and, calling on his special powers, is able to dissolve Marsinah's marriage to the Wazir so she can become the wife of the Caliph.
