...program opened with the Men's Glee Club alone singing two Renaissance motets by Jacob Handl. A small soli chorus sang from the balcony; and, considering the difficulties that such division presents, the precision of the performance was laudable. The power that a men's Glee Club must have to be really effective was missing, however, and the pieces chosen were short and of little interest. Those who favor the pre-Classical could again complain of having been unfairly ignored...
That is why the extraordinarily accurate a capella performance of his Mass (1963) by the Glee Club and Choral Society was a pleasurable emotional experience as well as an impressive display of musicianship. Except for one clunker that occured when the singers failed to listen to each other on the Credo "passus et supultus est" and an octave became a major seventh, the Glee Clubs exhibited a professional command of the difficult intervals and harmonies. Unfortunately, the great energy that was consumed in singing the right notes left nothing for interpretation, and the resulting dynamic inflexibility diminished much...
...traditionally red-lit, back-of-the-barroom pads along Gary's Washington Street-at Gus's Lounge, the Club Little Island and the Central Cafe-the girls charge $20 to $100 and work in shifts to avoid occupational fatigue. Outside, Negro boys, few older than ten, lead the way to Adams and Jefferson Streets, just around the corner, where their sisters stand in the doorways or sit by the windows-waving, winking, blowing kisses and tapping on the windows at potential Johns. At the sleazier local hotels, the guests all seem to be named "Mr. and Mrs. Smith...
...Abroad (the latest edition of which was published in 1964), is more pretentious than Clark about his restaurants but hardly sounder. Olson's favorite restaurant "in all the world" rates only- in Michelin, and third on his Paris list is a copy of Chicago's Gaslight Club. Olson is both a dictator and a square (his idea of Paris fun is going to the Folies-Bergère). As far as he is concerned, the only possible way for any American to enjoy Europe is as part of the herd. For their first trip, Olson sends his readers...
...take home the $20,000 first prize; he missed, settled for a tie with Nicklaus and Tommy Jacobs, and shot a horrendous 78 for third place and $8,300 in the next day's playoff. In last week's Tournament of Champions at the Desert Inn Country Club, Gay had a five-stroke lead with only 18 holes to go, and Las Vegas bookmakers were offering 7 to 1 that even Btfsplk Brewer could not blow that $20,000 title. They should have known better. Palmer shot a spectacular 69-eagling the 586-yd. fifth hole when...
