Audiences deify personalities and refuse to accept their decline Yet un warranted acclaim il an ultimately vain display and can actually antagonize those in an audience who are quite willing to accept the lesser but sincerely offered effort on its own terms Mr playing has the authority of experience and his intentions at least are artistic It would be idle to pretend that Ms planism can now bring delight to audiences accustomed to the glitter of present-day virtuosos But there is something of value in his playing for the thoughtful listener who does not indulge in the deception that this is a great but neglected pianist The cycle presented by Irwin Pames and sponsored by the International Concerts Exchange Foundation continues on Tues day and Saturday nights: THUNDIRBALL 12:30 3 530 I pm CARTHAY CIRCLE 314 San Vleante WE 84)104 CHINESE HO 4-1111 Open 12:00 Haitoii-Harriion In AGONY A ECSTASY -Tonight at 1:30 jf'm HOLLYWOOD am HO HUI Opnn All Until am Dally EL REY 5517 WE 1-1101 4:45 FLIGHT OF PHOENIX WHAT A WAT TO GO EASTER MATI EES EVERY DAY STARTING APRIL 2 THRU APRIL 10 GREEK ACTRESS Melina Mercouri lends her sultry talents fo comedy film from Universal "A Man Could Get color picture starring James Garner arriving April 6 for multiple engagement Rod Steiqer PAWNBROKER!
