Robert W. Greenfield

Professor Robert W. Greenfieldlooks more like a carefree collegeboy than a social anthropologistengaged in writing a doctoral dis-sertation. Teaching full time onthe Rollins faculty, his coursesbear the impressive titles, "TheStudy of Human Relationships","The Relationship Between Cultureand Personality", "Race Relations"and "Marriage and the Family."

Like other new Rollins profs,Robert Greenfield took time offin mid-college to fight a war, andreturned to graduate with honors -in an entirely different field.

A pre-medical student at Bates,in Maine, became a pharmacists'mate second class in the Navy and,as an X-Ray technician, he saw,not the world, but the U. S. A.from Palm Beach to San Diego!And while developing X-Ray platesat an Indianapolis Veteran's Hos-pital, he met, courted and marriedthe prettiest blond nurse on thestaff.

An extension course in Sociologyat Indiana University interestedhim in the "scientific methodology"of the subject and spurred him toa B. A., magna cum laude, at KentState University, Ohio, which hefollowed up with two years teach-

ing- at Ohio State University.Warm in his praise of the high

intelligence quotient of Rollins stu-dents who crowd his popularclasses, Prof Greenfield is equallyadmiring of Patrick Air Baseofficers and men whom he teacheseach Thursday night, driving fiftymiles to Cocoa.

Between stints on his doctor'^thesis, Greenfield is apt to reachfor a volume of Shakespeare, ofwhich he owns several completesets. But his "major hobby", as heexpresses it, is children, two inparticular named Dougie and Gailwho, we suspect, put to the testmany a theory propounded byfather in his classes.

CONTRASTING MOODS,FINE SINGING. MARKROLLINS DOUBLE BILL

The Rollins Players and theRollins Student Music Guild areoffering this week at the AnnieRussell Theatre a delightful even-ing of contrasts for the secondpresentation of their Silver JubileePlay Festival.

The first of the two musicals,the perennially young "Trial byJury" of that incomparable pairof Victorian Englishmen, Gilbertand Sullivan, warbles its waythrough the first half-hour delight-ing those who are hearing it forthe 'teenth time as well as thosehearing it for the first.

Eighty years ago it began spoof-ing the English jury system, inLondon, and it succeeded so wellthat it was soon being sung- bygroups and schools all over theUnited States, and will be sung aslong as there is a stage for theyoungsters to prance about. Andnot only youngsters, for an out-standing star of the performanceis Professor Charles Mendell, ofthe College faculty, who dancesand cavorts with gay abandon as"the judge" who solves the"dilemma - emma - emma" bywooing the plaintiff in the court-room and winning' her for his bride.

The plaintiff, dramatically sungby Ann Palmer, promptly forgetsher ex-lover whom she is suing forbreach of promise, and all thebride's maids and girl friends justas promptly fall into the arms ofthe jurymen, and there is "joyunbounded."

Louis Ingram, the jilter and thejilted lover sings and acts in suaved'Oyly Cartian manner especially inin his singing of "I'll Marry ThisLady Today and the Other To-morrow."

The stage sets are angularlymodern, but the costumes aregenuine 1880. The pulchritude ofthe co-ed chorus girls is naturally

upsetting to the jurymen and pleas-ing to the audience.

The same large chorus groupsings the ballads and croons thesongs of the American Folk-opera,"Down in the Valley", by KurtWeill, which follows. Changing1

their colorful costumes for drabhill-billy fashions, they make amost effective background for theprincipals in the woefully sadopera, - effective both musicallyand spectacularly.

"Down in the Valley" has itsorigin in the ancient Scottish andEnglish ballads brought into thehills of the Great Smokey Moun-tains by the early refugees whofled there from their "owncountrees." They naturally trans-lated every tragedy into the firstAmerican ballads. Yet, even in thisopera, one hears echoes of "Ed-ward" and "Child Maurice," andthe ancient themes.

The melancholy melodies, somuch alike, are woven through the

modern accompaniments in a mosthaunting and gratifying way. RossRosazza, as the leader, is wellmodulated and restrained vocally.Marie Perkins is delicate and lyricas the sweet Jennie Parsons; andWilliam Hardy is most, impressiveboth in voice and action as theyouthful lover about to be hangedfor accidentally killing a drunkenrival.

Only lack of space preventsdoing justice to those responsiblefor the stage-sets, direction, light-ing and musical accompanimentof both operas. Suffice it to saythat if Robert Hufstader and Wil-bur Dorsett have other tricks likethese in their hats, let us havemore musicals like the two thatare giving so much pleasure thisweek at Rollins.

The shade trees of Winter Parkcertainly do lead a hectic existencenowdays. They just want to be leftalone and take life easily. But canthe trees do this? They certainlycan't!

Someone is always hatching outa scheme for widening a street ortwo; and the first thing to be doneis to see how many trees can becut down.

Some of us old timers can re-member a fine xow of big treesthat formerly stood in a parkwaydown the middle of West MorseBoulevard, giving distinction tothat thoroughfare. Look at it now!A sewer became necessary, and, inall the great width of roadway,there was just one location whereit might be comfortably interred,and that was precisely where thebig trees stood. Neither to the rightnor to the left could that precioussewer be placed! So "when the Owlchanced one day to be in the neigh-borhood he made the sad discoverythat his pet row of trees was nomore. Engineering genius couldfind no alternative. Also therewere no embattled women there tofight the "Battle of the Trees." Thesewer is contentedly snuggled downbeneath the middle of the road-way. The trees are gone. Efficiencywon out!

Now the Owl favors sewers. Buteven a sewer might be happy afew feet to one side or the other

of the street's central axis.Just take a squint, if you will,

at West Morse, looking west fromthe Park. It is probably the uglieststreet in Winter Park; just a wide,dismal expanse of wobbly pave-ment. But it is part of the viewseen from passing trains! An indexto our town.

Then cross the tracks and thepark and look east from Park Av-enue, up East Morse Boulevard. Seehow beautiful it is with the park-way down the middle, all brightwith flowers and dignified bystately trees. That's the way theWestern stretch once appeared,save for neglect by the same offi-cials who cut down the trees.

Take another look, this timeWest, down Fairbanks. This is a>busy business street, and, due toformer poor planning, is almostimpossible of beautification.

Now imagine Brewer and AlomaAvenues widened, to a somewhatless extent! Brewer is just anotherof the few streets in Winter Parkthat has a middle parkway gracedby big trees. Oh yes, the narrowpavement on each side is of coursea source of deep grief to the speed-sters who love to "shove the oldaccelerator down to the floorboard!" But that is one of its vir-tues. It slows 'em down!

Did it ever occur to you howrisky it is to size up and criticizefolks at first sight and under un-usual circumstances?

F'rinstance, one evening lastweek the Owl and Mrs. Owl allayedtheir hunger at an emporium, innearby Orlando, which operates forthat general purpose. After the icecream had been stowed away, theOwl started to get himself into anearby overcoat. But his sub-con-scious mind warned him that itwas not his overcoat. Back it wenton the rack. Then he started to

put on a hat but Mrs. Owl wig-wagged that it was not his hat,and a man at the next table re-marked, "That's my hat." So theOwl made a try at another onebut a man at still another tableentered the field with, "That's myhat." None too genially either.Second hat went back on its peg.

Then it dawned on the Owl thathe had worn neither hat nor over-coat that evening. He had wornthem all the afternoon, it havingbeen one of those frigid days wehave experienced of late, and wasstill hat and coat conscious. (Soalso were the owners of the twohats and coat!)

Well! There is doubtless a moraltucked away somewhere in thisstory, but the Owl has not had timeas yet to locate it. But he has hadtime to dread the thought of evermeeting those two hat and coatmen.

SITE FOR NEW CULTURAL CENTER ASSURED;DRIVE BEGUN TO RAISE BUILDING FUNDS

Why, how and when CentralFlorida is to take its place cultur-ally with other sections of thecountry was discussed vigorouslylast Monday evening at a meeting-held in the new headquarters ofthe Cultural Center. This projectwas initiated four years ago byan Orlando Art Association com-mittee which was endeavoring tosecure a permanent home for thatgroup.

Among the sites inspected was atract between Lakes Bstelle andFormosa which was secured yearsago for a world's fair to be knownas "Florida on Parade." This ill-fated undertaking was never rea-lized, but the property still remainsin possession of the City of Or-lando.

The tract seemed to afford anideal location for the Art Associa-tion's building", so ideal, in fact,that the possibility of locatingother cultural organizations heresuggested itself.. A list of possi-bilities was made which includeda hall for the presentation of finemusic; a Little Theatre for theplayers of the city; a branch PublicLibrary; a Museum that shouldembrace art, science and history;a Garden Center; an outdoor the-ater for presentation of pageantsand for other large gatherings;and studios for craftwork. Therange of possibilities broadened astime went on...

As a means of developing theseplans, a corporation was formedunder the name, "The CentralFlorida Feberation of Arts andSciences."

Many problems have been en-countered, legal, political and per-sonal. Progress was delayed ser-iously by inability to secure legalrights to use of the property. Only

recently has this hurdle been clear-ed by an act of the state legisla-ture which transferred the tract toa special Loch Haven Park Com-mission, of which. Dr. Louis M.Orr was made chairman.

Meanwhile, no funds had beenavailable for meeting necessaryexpenses, which were paid for per-sonally by the Trustees.

Finally an appeal was made forfinancial aid through membershipdues, and over four hundred per-sons enrolled. This 'has made pos-sible the printing of stationery,leaflets, etc., and purchase of ne-cessary supplies. Designs for arch-itecture and landscaping havebeen made by professional and non-professional devotees of the pro-,ject without one penny of remun-eration.

A contract has now been enteredinto with Mr. Karl S. Bolander toassume the work of promotion andmoney raising, and he is establish-ed in temporarly headquarters at69 East Park Lake Avenue, withhis large art library and collectionof art objects made by teen-agersthroughout the country. Here,study groups, school classes,sketch classes will meet, and lec-tures will be given.

Some eight or ten organizationsare now potential members of theCultural Center group, and severalare already raising1 funds and hav-ing plans drawn for their proposedbuildings.

A great deal of work has beenquietly carried on by members ofthe Board of Trustees, which isnow made up of the following wellknown persons: Mr, Frank A.French, Mr. Raymond D. Robin-son, Mrs. Ada Wichtendahl, Mr. I.T. Frary, Mr. Frederick W.Sleight, Mr, C. Earnest Willard,

UNIVERSITY CLUB NEWSThe world-wide problem of "Sov-

ereignty or Security" will be thetext from which Harvey W. Peckwill speak to the University Clubthis afternoon, January 29, at 3'p.m. Members of the Club will wel-come exposition and discussion ofthis topic which is so universal yetso personal.

Quite of equal seriousness willbe the address on January 30, Sat-urday evening, 8 o'clock, by J.Thomas Gurney: "New Develop-ments in the Law." Mr. Gurney hasan advantage, however. His audi-ence will settle down to listen withthe happy consciousness of havinga comfortable dinner tucked awaywithin each waistband, thus pro-moting a receptive mental attitudetoward the speaker,

Then comes definite change ofscene when, on Tuesday, February2nd, C. Max Bauer will take hisaudience to "Geyserland." Thisjourney will be by way of thesound film, a form of travel thatbecomes more and more satisfac-tory as flitting years make us in-creasingly more willing to take ourtouring in sedentary comfort.

School's out all day Friday, sofar as the Club is concerned. TheRollins Economic Conference al-ways depopulates the Club, so itsmeeting is just dismissed on theday when the two conflict. Thisyear, the Friday topic, "FindingPersonal Satisfaction in RetirementDays", is so definitely personalthat all members will doubtlessinsist on being present in Annie

MISS SKINNER HOLDSAUDIENCE CAPTIVATEDIN TOWN HALL SHOW

America's premiere diseuse, Cor-nelia Otis Skinner, packed the highschool auditorium to the last seatTuesday night and repeated hertriumph of several years ago be-fore the Town Hall audience.

Before the end of the evening,this versatile author and actresshad peopled the stage with thewomen of her imagination, and theaudience chuckled and laughed asthey recognized themselves, theirfriends and their relations amongthe personalities so deftly carica-tured.

The most original number, en-titled "genealogy", portrayed pres-ent day American ancestor-wor-shippers, and Miss Skinner, by aquick change of head-gear, gaveflashbacks to the blunt ancestorsnow revered. The most vivid was of"Lady Eleanor," the English ac-tress transplanted into South Caro-lina, playing solitaire with stickycards, talking to her hard-drinkinghusband about her detestation ofthe climate, the whip-poor-wills,and the "stinking" Magnolia trees;and then ordering "Sambo" to puthis master to bed.

The yearly American invasion ofParis was one of Miss Skinner'sstandbys of other years — nowenlivened by a huge, red velvet"flat" which became a dozen shapes(or hats) on a dozen heads, fromMontmartre to St. Germain desPres.

Naturally the Coronation camein for its share of fun, and so did

the ambitious lady from Nebraska,arraying herself in her "Prince ofWales three feathers" and veil,nervously pulling on her long whitegloves and fortifying herself witha double whiskey and soda to helpher make the deep curtsey toQueen Elizabeth and the Duke ofEdinburgh;

Of another fascinating lady _ itwas said (and she let an asp biteher arm when she was only 29)"Age cannot wither nor customstale her infinite variety . . ." sowe would say of Cornelia OtisSkinner. — A. H. W.

Book Notes"THE. URGE TO PERSECUTE"by Dr. A. Powell Davies, BeaconPress, Boston, 1954, price $2,75.

Reviewed by Mabel H. KirkDr. A. Powell Davies in his

latest book analyzes the Americanfear of Communism and the re-sult of that fear upon us and uponour established government. Withthe keen insight of the psycho-logist, the fervor of an Americanpatriot, and the vision of theprophet, he shows why and how weare turning to false saviors.

He reminds us that every greatAmerican in every generation hassaid that when we are false to theAmerican faith of courage, wegradually lose our liberities andbecome slaves of tyranny. "Thetime to deal with tyranny", hesays, "is before it becomes es-tablished; once entrenched, it main-tains itself with ease against thosewho could have prevented it."

As you read this book you canfind your place in the picture,where you stand - among the per-secutors, among those who applaudor among the inactive upon whoseinactivity tyranny grows.

The book is a clear call to afirm, courageous restoration of ourbasic principles to bring back con-fidence and sanity to a nationswept by fear in an age of anxiety.

The four parts of the book are1. The Modern Predicament; 2. TheFruits of Frustration; 3. TheMoral Crisis; 4. Whose is theFuture ? - a thrilling recall tocourage and to faith.

— Mabel H. Kirk

Mrs. Ingram introduced WilliamColeman, young Orlando insuranceman, who is a candidate for thestate legislature in Group 2 ofOrange County, the post now heldby James E. Keezel. Coleman'snomination is subject to next May'sRepublican primary. A man of SOwith a wife and two small children,the young candidate outlined hisaims and plans for the campaign,revealing a platform of substantial,progressive nature.

Dean Osborn R. Littleford wasprincipal speaker for the meet-ing, which was attended by a ca-pacity throng of 150 members andguests. He declared that Floridais now opening up for Repub-licanism because of the people'sinterest in finding out what theRepublican party has to offer, and

* considers the time particularly ripefor development of a two-partysystem in the state.

Turning to Communism, one ofhis favorite topics, the Dean ex-pressed the view that the investi-gation of Red influences mustallow the chips to fall where theymay, for the national good. "Onlyas true believers in Christianitycan we become the 'voice ofAmerica' and look forward to aworld at peace," he concluded.

At the speakers table were Mrs.Harry ^Williams, vice president, W.C. Brinkman, chairman of theOrange County Republican Com-mittee, and Mrs. Joseph D. Robin-son who introduced Dean Little-ford.

"Modern Music" Becomes A Burning Issue;Fans Protest Orchestra's New Program Policy

Announcement by Conductor YvesChardon, the evening of the first1954 conce'-t, of the Florida Sym-phony Orchestra, that he is obliged,by pressure from many orchestrasubscribers to eonfine_ the playingof contemporary music to the en-core period has precipitated rumbl-ings of criticism from the ranks ofthe admirers of modern music.

Winter Park Topics reprintsherewith two particularly potentutterances by supporters of theSymphony who feel that their mu-sical preferences are being slight-ed. The editors would like to stimu-late discussion of this issue and in-vite readers to contribute theirviews pro and con.

In his review of the first orch-estra concert of the season, Mr.Harrison Hollander, of WinterPark, wrote in the Orlando Post:"Mr. Chardon made the announce-ment that, for those who do likethe music of present day com-posers, he plans to present a mod-ern works, beginning at the secondconcert J an. 29, at the conclusion ofthe regular program, thus givingthose who so desire opportunity toleave the hall before its perfor-mance. We have no way of knowingif the applause which greeted thisstatement came from the Philis-tines or those of advanced ideas."

". . , Sad to relate, it is strangebut true that although the major-ity of persons interested in the artsdo not confine their reading toworks of writers who lived in theCharles Dickens era or prior there-to, nor draw a line at plays whichfollow the period of Ibsen, theyare, for some unnaccountable rea-son, not interested in, or, to phraseit more accurately, positively ad-verse to listening to what com-posers of our time have to say."

"They seem to forget that themusic of, for example, Wagner,Strauss and Debussy, which theydelight in today, was roundly ber-ated by many of their forebears.The listener with an enquiringmind will want, nay, demand tohear the works of present day com-posers. He may not like all of whathe hears, but he will satisfy hisintellectual curiosity regardingworks by contemporary writers."

The Editor, Winter Park Topics:The initial concert of the Central

Florida Symphony Orchestra wasgood, it was satisfying — so far asit went — but it left somethingout. What was that "'something?"It was that unconventional, intrigu-ing, and often disturbing ingredi-ent known as "modern music."Connoisseurs of American sym-phony orchestras judge their con-ductors and their orchestras thesedays largely by the way they playcontemporary music and what mo-

dern works they choose.Modern symphony concerts are

not given just to lull their listen-ers into a secure state of blissfulsomnolence with the well-remem-bered themes of well-worn pieces'alone! There is little new that canbe done for Beethoven, Bach andBrahms at this late date by theFlorida Symphony Orchestra. Mr.Chardon can play these as well asany conductor with an orchestralensemble the size of ours, and bet-ter than most.

Fortunately, Winter Park andOrlando form a highly civilized andsophisticated musical community.They are among the few such cen-ters outside the large metropolitanareas which ought, certainly, to beready and prepared to accept mo-dern music along with the 18thand 19th century favorites.

Modern music does not meansolely dissonant, discordant andatonic abstract works, music whicheven advanced American concertaudiences enjoy hearing only as ex-perimental music, the music of thefuture. The past 30 to 50 yearshave produced many rich, exciting,stimulating pieces, from the worksof such composers as Ravel, De-bussy, Stravinsky and others whichhave today become excellent andentertaining listening of the high-est order. With a gradual intro-duction to them, we should be ableto take a little Hindemith and Wal-ter Piston now and then, just outof curiosity's sake, if nothing more!

We ought to know what is goingon in music today. Symphonyscores did not stop with Brahms!Wagner in his day was considereda fantastic extremist of modern-ity . . . — W. H.

In response to many requestsfrom lovers of contemporary mu-sic, M. Chardon has chosen as anencore, Darius Milhaud's "Le Boefsur le Toit."

To quote the noted critic VirgilThomson, on the character of theFrench modernist's colorful music:1"There is humanity in the verytexture of Milhaud's writing. Tunesand countertunes, chords and per-cussive accents jostle one anotherwith such friendliness, such toler-ance, and such ease that the wholecomes to represent what almostanybody might mean by a 'demo-cratic way of life'."
