By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS The 1960 presidential campaign, 0 Lupe Serrano Captivates Moscow On American Ballet Theater Tour Chilean-born Lupe Serrano, ballerina of the American Ballet Theater Company now touring Russia, dazzled the Russian public in her appearance in "Don Quixote" on Sept. 14 at the Stanislavsky Theater. This marks the first time an American ballet company ever has toured in Russia. The company will appear in Wichita on Jan. 18.

Members of the world-famed Bolshoi came backstage to greet her and communicate their joy. Slowly, the word spread through this large city, the traditional home of classical ballet, that the American ballerina was a dancer to be seen. And she did not let the audience down. Following a superb performance in "The Combat" she received 'a remarkable 12 curtain calls. Hundreds of men and women waited for her in the rain and cold at the stage door after her startling performance.

They showered her with flowers and gifts, and did not leave until the company buses took off. Maya Plisetskaya and other honored artists of the U.S.S.R. were heard saying: "Why didn't they create roles like that for me?" For the next two days, the modest Miss Serrano was besieged by autograph hunters. But her finest hour came at a farewell party given by U. S.

Ambassador to Russia, Llewellyn Thompson, when a surprise visitor in the person of Galina Ulanova, prima ballerina of the Bolshoi told her: "You have a nice, easy and light technique. You are to be admired. I have learned much by looking at you." Lupe Serrano had captured Moscow.

FRENCH 'PRINCESS' Capucine, beautiful Frenchmodel, makes her screen debut as Princess Carolyne in "Song Without End," opening at the Miller Theater next Friday. Capucine (born Germaine Lefebvre) plays a role as one of the two great loves of famed composer Franz Liszt, around whose beautiful music the story is woven. England's Dirk Bogarde is cast in his first American-made picture as the immortal keyboard genius. Liszt's piano playing and works of other famed composers of his time also are spotlighted. His colorful, romantic adventures furnish the main part of the story.

Michael Boyer, 18-year-old son of Charles Boyer, spent a month with his father on the set of Latin America staff study wa A study by th Internal engur Little Angels Sign Long Contract Capitol Records Inc. has received court approval of an exclusive, long-term recording tract for The Little Angels, vocal group comprised of four children ranging in age from 5 to 9. The Little Angels, who will reclord under the supervision of Executive Producer Lee Gillette, will appear on the Dinah Shore show Nov. 20. They are expected to record their first disk for Capitol early in November.

The unique quartet--the eldest of the seven children of' Mr. and Mrs. Leon Sylvers of Los Angeles -was brought to Capitol's attention by one of their most enthusiastic fans, Nat King Cole. (Gillette also produces Cole's Capitol recordings.) The four Sylvers childrenOlympia Ann, Leon, Charmaine, and James, 5-first sang together three years ago when they lived in Memphis. (Young James' contribution to the harmonizing is somewhat more now than it was in 1957.) Big Red One Has Booster in Fuller Producer -director Samuel FulHer, perennial booster and wartime member of the Army's famed First Division (The Big Red: One), always manages to get the divisional insignia in his pictures.

America's Happiest Musical! "THE SHOW FOR ABSOLUTELY EVERYBODY" Words 9 Music By D. C. "Red" McClain Many times, beginning musicians ask why two Inst rumentalists, each playing from the same music, can give such radically different performances, one approaching sheer greatness, the other as dull as the beat of a metronome. The answer is that the second musician is merely mechanically "reading notes," whereas the first is the piece with his interpretation of the spirit and energy the composer intended.

Sheet music, no matter how carefully annotated and detailed, is still only a guide, like an' actor's script. If the script instructs the actor to read the line "I love you" slowly, and he reads it "slowly" in the same manner in which he just read "pass the he is "following instructions," but he is obviously not communicating the author's meaning. In the same way, musician who plays a passage of a work "as notes" without attempting to project the mood or feeling intended is not really playing the piece, but merely "making sounds." To make music come alive, it necessary to discover the composer's intended musical emotion, and then to recreate it by means of the notes on the page. This re-creation is best done on a quality instrument. And with a fine Conn Organ, you get the benefit of years of experience in the production of instruments famous for true-tone sound and painstaking craftsmanship.
