'Gultuare
By SYBIL ANDERSON
Editor's Note: The author of
this article, after graduating
from USC, spent a year work
ing In Atlanta and is now back
at the University doing gradu
ate work.
As people ask how I enjoyed
my life in Atlanta as a working
girl, I find myself consistently
giving credit to what Atlanta
offers in the "culture" depart
ment.
I use the word culture gingerly
and intend that it shall here con
note the entertainment which I
considered outstanding.
It is not possible to do justice
to all the big and Httle names
that keep Atlanta's night lights
shining 'til dawn. For example
Jose Greco, whom I understand
was recently at the Domino
Lounge.
'Auntie Mame'
Sylvia Sydney charmed the
audience in her portrayal of
"Auntie Mame." I understand
she also appeared at the Colum
bia Township Auditorium and I
was distressed to learn the many
complaints from Columbians of
not being able to hear. I hud no
trouble at all in one of the last
rows of the Tower Theatre in
Atlanta.
Maria Callas appeared at the
Atlanta Auditorium last fall and
her visit was a source of much
comment before and after the
performance.
In my opinion her voice is not
great, Tebaldie she is not, but
she offered her Atlanta audience
a lesson in stage presence that
was beautiful to see.
Her equipment was a red stole
which she draped and caressed,
and a footstool with which she
toyed as she toyed with her audi
ence, not surprisingly refusing a
much begged for encore.
Van Cliburn
The young pianist Van Cliburn
managed to keep his Atlanta date
in Javiuary despite a toothache
which threatened to disappoint a
full house at the Atlanta Audi
torium.
After viewing his performance
I felt very proud that this young
man represented us in Russia, for
his manner and love of playing
were on par with his ability, he
willingly offered three encores,
and seemed to enjoy them as
much as his audience.
Summertime brings road shows
under the stars at Chastain
Park's Amphitheatre, although
their ability to open this summer
seemed threatened because of last
summer's poor attendance record.
'Royfriend'
The most outstanding play I
saw was "The Boyfriend" and I
hope they will be able to get a
sufficient number of appealing
plays to keep from folding, be
eause it is atmospherically a
lovely place to spend a hot sum
mer evening.
Theatre Atlanta, comparable to
the Town Theatre in Columbia
was a source of disappointment
to me but I hesitate to judge,
having seen only one perform
ance, "The Solid Gold Cadillac."
I found myself comparing it in
every respect to the Town The
atre here and I felt we came out
on top. I was not sufficiently
* impressed to return.
Op era
One of the most interesting
performances I witnessed was
The Consul by Men, 'l which was
put on by a local group in a for
mer warehouse. They did only
two operas last year, the other
being Manon Deseaut, but the
turnout was prosperous enough
to encourage them to repeat both
