B-2 THE STATU JOITIXAI. Jan. 24. 1 975 Performance Is Pleasant Keith Molin Named to Head Labor Department MOLIN ALSO will serve on the Executive Council, which bor department, Molin also will take on special assign- i luted Is Molin was Milliken's 1970 campaign manager and former legislative liaison. He replaces Roy Williams, who has served as acting director since Barry Brown resigned last summer.

DEATHS and FUNERALS em The Boarshead Players of Grand Ledge are currently following their highly successful season opener, "Jesus Christ Superstar," with an original (if less than compelling) production of Shakespeare's metaphysical masterpiece, "The Tempest." Richard Thomsen's Ledge's Playhouse edition of "The Tempest" is light-weight theatrical fare in more than one respect, the Play's two-thousand-odd lines have been judiciously trimmed. The cast's twenty-odd players are reduced to a mere fourteen. The potency of the playwright's prose and blank verse is proportionately diluted. SHAKESPEARE'S SUPPOSED "farewell to the pest theatre" is a more abstract and delicate piece of writing than Mr. Thomsen and his cast would have us believe.

At the Ledges, the serene beauty of the play is sacrificed in the interest of satisfying the "groundlings" with low comedy antics. Review John Peakes plays Pros-pero, the exiled Duke of Milan, who has lost his constituency but gained control over the forces of nature. Peakes' Prospero is eccentric and good-humored, but hardly a figure one might consider capable of manipulating the elements. As a benign and learned philosopher, he is not to be taken seriously. i tor.

His Ferdinand is a bit paunchy and a bit phlegmy, but hardly phlegmatic. His Caliban is amiable, but admirably executed. Jim Burton doubles as a patrician dandy capable of fratricide and a jester incapable of holding his liquor. His jester enjoys several fine comic moments. DIRECTOR THOMSEN and his cast have created a pleasant enough, if insubstantial, rendering of Shakespeare's major comedy.

And in the final analysis, the Boarshead Players "Tempest" is less elevating than enervating. "The Tempest" plays Thursday through Sunday, until February 9, at the downtown Grand Ledge playhouse. Curtain time is 8 p.m. Kristie Thatcher is double-cast as Miranda, Prospero's beautiful and innocent daughter, and as Ariel, the sprite who implements the magician's schemes for a "brave new world." Ms. Thatcher fulfils her assignment as the obstreperous spirit, and falls a trifle short of creating an appropriately ingenuous and unsophisticated maiden.

PHIL HEALD performs brilliantly in two roles. He is cold and aristocratic as Prospero's politically ruthless brother; he is properly plebeian as the drunken butler, Stephano. Of all the Ledges Company, Heald is the best equipped to handle both the play's humor and its stunning blank verse. B. Douglas Schirner plays Ferdinand, the young Prince, and Caliban, the gross mons- 1 Onlooker of Grand Ole Opry Pearl was standing next to me on the crowded stage and when the curtain and the movie screen were fully raised she looked out into the jammed hall and whispered almost to herself, "Stand up, everybody, stand up!" It was as though they all heard her command.

Forty-four hundred people rose as one and gave the Opry and its people and its new home the greatest ovation I have ever heard. The artists appeared on stage in alphabetical order that night and Anderson followed Acuff. I walked nervously but proudly to that microphone, muttered something about finally being glad after all these years that my name started with an (it's rough on you when you're in school!) and broke into the song that got me on the Opry in the first place a timely little epic called "Po' It wasn't until I was well into the song, however, that I glanced down and realized the circle of stage I was standing on was a darker shade of wood than the rest of the area around it. And then I remembered: They had cut a six-foot circle from the front center section of the old Ryman stage and brought it to the new Opry House. And there I was truly standing on the very spot where Hank Williams had cried the "Lovesick where Jim Reeves had crooned "Four where Patsy Cline had sung "I Fall To and where Charlie Pride had told the world when he became the first black to appear on the modern-day Opry, "I'm glad I'm an.

American." Oh yes and where Jim Hough had said, "Boy, if the folks back in Lansing could only see me Concluded from Pg. B-I riums that's what makes the Opry the Opry." once again said We all knew the minute the curtain went up on opening night in March, 1974, that WSM had guessed right. The Opry House was loaded to the rafters with dignataries, fans, the President of the United States, and curiosity seekers. At precisely 6:30 p.m. the big velvet curtain began to rise and every member of the Opry cast, totaling some 60 star performers and over 100 supporting musicians, dancers, background singers, and announcers, strode onto the mammoth stage.

A large movie screen tvas lowered across the front of the stage, however, and the entertainers were hidden from the view of the audience. A black and white film of The Solemn Ole Judge, George D. Hay, the man who gave the Opry its name in 1925, flashed on the screen and for the first time in nearly 20-years his voice rang out, "Presenting the Grand Ole Opry, Let 'er go Immediately a 1941 film clip of a young Roy Ac-uff came onto the screen and the Smokey Mountain Boys broke into the legendary "Wabash Cannonball." The film had run for about 15-seconds when the movie screen began to slowly ascend and a grey-haired 70-year-old Acuff led his same Smokey Mountain Boys to the new microphone on the new stage and began singing "Wabash Cannonball" right along with the voice and the image on the screen. The crowd was motionless. You could almost hear the goosebumps breaking out on 4.400 sets of arms and the tears welling up in 8,800 eves.

Obituary Placement Averted in Delta By YOLANDA TRUJILLO Staff Writer Michigan State University students and supporters organized to back the United Farm Workers have launched a vigorous campaign to plug the flow of Gallo wines in Lansing and East Lansing. About 30 MSU students and two faculty members carrying boycott signs picketed the KP Food Store across campus and at the Seven-Eleven, 311 Grove, Thursday afternoon. THE UFW contends the Gallo wines are made from nonunionized grape fields. The KP Store picket lasted but ended when pickets got tentative agreement from Frank Hanosh, KP supervisor, not to reorder the wine. Hanosh told them he Explosion A sharp-eyed Delta Township fireman is being credited with possibly averting a serious explosion in Delta Township Thursday afternoon.

East Lansing Deputy Chief Robert Foster arrived later and said students were not in violation as long as shoppers were not kept from entering the drive or the store.
