Tuesday, Aug. 31, 1971 Gaietta l-B Allan Jones Is Star Of Man of La Mancha By JOHN FETLER Music I it is still the story and interpretation of our day. Man of La na. Mancha is a hard-hitting show, True Allan Jones is a legend. tl produced for the road But a live one, and wc re lucky, an economy 0f means, but to hear him again.

He hits the packs considerable show-biz beautiful high notes in top form in true operatic style as the star a ithoniyh of of La which opened at the Broadmoor Monday night as the concluding attraction of the summer season at the International Center. One might almact he tempted to say that the best has been saved for the last. waste time on nostalgia, though. Of course, some of us remember Allan Jones from the days when the musical stars still had the incredible glitter and glamor of super-tinseled Hollywood of the old the kind of tinsel which the younger generation might have difficulty in imagining. But the younger generation will find Allan Jones in La Mancha a man after its heart.

The show is being repeated this week at the International Center, and a fine en tertainment it is. And matinees, too. The story is based on the famous book by Cervantes, but Father Takes Stand Against His Son Monday Seventy-one-year-old James F. Hayes took the witness stand in district court Monday and testified against his son, William Thomas Hayes, 30. 647 E.

St. Vrain who is charged with forgery. He allegedly forged a check May 21 with intent to defraud his father and the Royal Liquor Shop, 333 S. Tejon St. Hayes told the jury his sohad been living with him and that on May 18 the witness was in the hospital.

An old age pension check was introduced into evidence and the witness said the signature on it was not his. He also added that when he was released from the hospital one of his checks was missing. The defendant testified his father had told him to cash the check and that he had endorsed it at the request of Hayes Sr. Hayes said he had bought groceries and liquor with the money. Both defense and prosecution rested their cases Monday afternoon and the case will be to the jury today.

Hayes is represented by Public Defenders Brian J. Mullett and Richard Tegtmeier while Peter Susemihl is appearing for the district office. Judge William E. Rhodes is on the bench. the production employs a number of younger singers to fill out the cast, the key roles are taken by seasoned theatrical professionals, who keep the entire show up to a high pitch of stage business competency, and in some cases also provide excellent voices, such as for instance Taylor Reed as the padre.

sometimes difficult to gauge just what level to keep a voice for company balance, but letting out all the stops now and then makes for a livelier show vocal- ly- Norman Kelley provides the role of Sancho Panza with fine professionalism; and the role of the barber is played by James Billings with excellent comic routines. Just as interesting was the musical support given by the trio of musicians, piano, guitar and drums, showing how economically these effects can be obtained. And in spots some niques. of the vocal lines were unaccompanied, providing interesting and rather effective contrast. But Allan Jones holds the center of the stage.

good to hear him again. New Bank Slated For City A charter has been filed with the National Bank Region office in Denver for a new Colorado Springs Bank.

(1911 Woody Palmer Syndicate) Projected Plans Tabled by Commissioners Projected plans of Inter-State Plumbing and Heating Co were tabled by the county commissioners Monday until it could be determined what facilities might be demanded of the company by Peterson Field officials. The company had requested approval of its Planned Industrial Development District for operations in Cimarron Hills Industrial Filing No. 1.

This area is located practically under the extension of the flight path of the north-south runway of the airport. Part of the operations will involve electrical arc welding and the airport administration requires such operations to be protected by shields that they do not interfere with electronic gear aboard airplanes and with radar equipment at Peterson Field. The board of commissioners also pointed out that it has never been made clear to them whether succeeding operations also are responsible for providing the shielding gear. It was pointed out that Inter-State Plumbing and Heating would be required to install the shield, but they said they know how this provision would affect someone who might purchase the building and equipment from Inter-State. The commissioners, acting on counsel of their attorney, Jim Tarter, tabled the matter pending a clarification from airport official Frank Ladwig.

It was felt that Ladwig might appear at the Thursday meeting to explain the regulations involving arc welding in the vicinity oil the airport.

Thomas B.

Doherty. Dr. Charles Hadley, director of Pupil Accounting and Testing Services, reported that his department tested 1,224 new sec ondary school students during July and August, 254 more than in the same period in 1970. Last year a total of 31,298 pupils reported for school on opening day, and enrollment reached a peak of 33,161 on Oct. 30.

At the end of May 1970 there were 32,630 pupils enrolled in District 11 schools. Doherty said it is difficult to predict the opening day gain because new pupils entering the elementary schools do not take pre-enrollment tests and there is no way of knowing how many pupils moved out of the district during the summer. The most important figure, of course, Is the peak total enrollment. RICHARD W. GRAFT man of the board, and Thomas S.

Dear Maverick: Your correspondent defined several kinds of folk dancing, and said Sqaure Dancing requires only a course to learn the 75 basic Square Dance maneuvers.

This Is not necessarily so. It is a lot easier than that. Square Dancing descended from Revolutionary (1776) formal patterns and many others; it was popular with Western pioneers in many forms, aD easy and all fun. Dr. Lloyd Shaw of Cheyenne Mountain School revived these forms of Square Dancing, showed them widely, and thus caused the tremendously popular Square Dance revival just before the To jo War.

Anyone and everyone square danced, successfully the first time they tried It; musicians and callers from that time are still with us, Including me. I can run a square dance in which nobody takes a course and everybody has fun, the first time and every time after dances well. So why the course and 75 maneuvers? When Dr. Shaw was In Hollywood to teach Gregory Peck and Jennifer Jones a little dancing for the movie Duel in the Sun, a senior movie official told him that Square Dancing was hurting box office receipts and the movie industry would destroy It. Dr.

Shaw asked shall push square dancing, but lead off into such a complicated mess that dancers have to study to learn It, callers have to keep ahead of the game with ever more new complications, the music will be modern and less attractive for the dance, and people will just drift away from it, except for a few die-hards in clubs and cliques, all competing for status among their fellows. The general public will drop it and go back to the Dr. Shaw saw the probable truth of that plan, and indeed it has worked that least for Square Dancing. The clubs have their own kind of fun while the general public has forgotten Square Dancing just as it did long ago and for the same reason Fine Square Dance musicians and splendid callers are still in this town (one now drives a many of the old callers could even run a dance with recording (again Including me), but the public Is not knows gotta take a course and join a club to sqaure dance, and it is jut too much Too bad, for Square Dancing is more fun than almost any other one thing, and easier to begin than most. Maybe about the year 2035 somebody will again discover the old dances, and folks will again have fun for a while.

Meantime, anyone interested in how It is and where It came from can find Dr. Cowboy Dances in almost any library. It even has the sheet music for some useful tunes, and anyone with that book can put on a fairly decent Square a good one when he gets experienced. Or If some folks want a bang-up fine any can call me, 687-8139, and give a Square Dance remember! And there are even better callers around, too. T.L.W.

Thank ya for yore contribution, podnah. Shore hope some of you readers out there take up the gent on his fine offer of a bang-up fine Square any hooch!
