Well Charlie Feathers is the rockabilly singer that Elvia was trying to be NOT TAKING ANYTHING from Elvis those Sun records of his were some great recordings It's just that Charlie Feathers is almost in a class by him THl WORLD'S Nov 1 8:15 PM COOK CONVENTION CENTER Season To Open Tuesday For MSU String Quartet SPECIAL GUEST STAR BRENDA LEE "ELECTRIFYING MSS DYNAMITE" TICKETS NOW ON SALE Your Favorite Photo OnA Decorator Pillow Check or Pawntewn Oeh Cwwt BeMeh If Hwei 88eW lefab Ctr Ai MAIL ORDERS NOW: FESTIVAL OF MUSIC CENTRAL TICKET OFFICE Goldsmith's 123 5 Main St Memphis Tenn a money ermr payable Feend MMk m4 eanpstf GoGoasG onalapah Reserved Seats: GOOD CHOICE SEATS AVAIL ABU NOW GOLDSMITH'S A piano quintet by Cesar Franck and quartets for strings by Beethoven and Penderecki will make up the season-opening campus conceit of the Memphis State University String Quartet It will be played at 8:15 Tuesday night in the Music Building's Harris Auditorium Following the custom of campus performances by the quartet this one will be free and public Pianist Daniel Fletcher will be a guest for the Franck Quintet in Minor The other compositions will be the Beethoven E-Flat Quartet Op 127 one of his last works in the form and Quartetto per Archi (1960) by Krzystof Penderecki This concert will intro A perianal unusual touch for the homa Snapshot printad In Mack -and-wtiifa on front of this vinyl pillow Sand any sir black -and whita or color photo Money Order 095 mm Shipped VHF Prepaid 1oRasidcntt of Florida add 4 Salts tax 11 "foam-filled pillow coated ith Scotchguard to wipe dean in a jiffy Original photo niturned unharmed with pillow Perfect for living room or recreation room Florida 32709 ZIP (no negatives or slidcsl Allow 4 weeks tor delivery ilfflTheCliiristmasTtee" Presents GT-251 Christmas NAME ADDRESS CITY STATE duce the quartet's new violinist Adrian Bryttan who becomes the seventh musician to have a seat in the ensemble as the ninth season begins The only remaining charter member is the other violinist Robert Snyder Bryttan succeeds Noel Gilbert a charter member who retired from the university faculty last spring The viola chair has had two occupants charter member Mary Anne Snyder and incumbent David Becker who became a member in the 1972-73 season Cellist Peter Spurbeck joined the ensemble before the 1968-69 season -succeeding Phyllis Steen who was a member upon the quartet's organization in 1966 urniacKSicousuanT SAVE MONEY AND STILL DEAL WITH THE BEST WE'RE NUMBER 1 ADD-A-ROOM Sunday Brunch in the Tree Tops Assortment of fresh fruits (in season) Country Ham with real red-eye gravy Southern fried chicken Home cooked hot entree of the day Scrambled eggs Cottage fries with onions Fresh vegetable of the day Real homemade hot biscuits with butter 1 Iomcmade fresh fruit muffins Assortment of fruit juices Just $295 ICMJkii iinJiT 12 only $1 rCl Tree Tops Restaurant (Ji Snoh-Rivcrbluff 340 Illinois Avenue (TuU' lA'luinitrr3HiMrfriMMW In snnwnitinr SPECIALIZING IN: FAMILY ROOMS DENS PLAYROOMS BEDROOMS GARAGE CARPORT AND ATTIC CONVERSIONS WE WILL TAKE A JOB TO ANY STAGE OP COMPLETION i r- 88 EXPERIENCED leuSeler SPECIAL GUEST STAR DOLLY PARTON SHOW BARBARA MANDRELL DON BOWMAN RANK FIN ANCINOI quality mecoty security LICENSED RONDED KSURCD CELL HOW! 327-8181 24 hoursimv-7 dmsimii 893SO KigUsnd SUNDAY OCT 20 7:30 PM MID-SOUTH COLISEUM RESERVED SEATS: )650 JS50 I S4 50 on SAt non at raifigh springs MALI GOLDSMITH'S OAK COURT COlOtMlIHi CL NIVAL TICKET AND THf COLI-SLUM TICKET Of ICC ICR MAIL ORDERS SIND A CHICK (fKORDFK WITH A STAMPED Stir ADDAfSSID INVLIGff TO MIDS0U1H COL I SI UM MlD-SOUIH IAIRCR0UNC1 MEMPHIS It 104 FOR IICKFT INFINMAIICN PHONE 2742400L A WARU BUILDERS RMmoo nWctrpt-coiy'priierirsa eoe Hawn oMintaiw.
