Audience Is Impressed»

By Italian OrchestraUj ZD WILLIAMS

Monday night the OrchestA San Pietro of Naples, Italy, lived up to its advance publicity with a flawless performance nt Beta Auditorium. The IS young musicians blended as one instru­ment under the demanding ba­ton of Conductor Renato Ruo- toiO.

The excellent conducting of Maestro Ruotoio and the weD- rehearaed orchestra impressed the Clinton audience in Vivaldi’l Concerto for violin, cello, and strings. The solo passages stood out well against hte erst of the ensemble which at no time over­powered the good trills of the cellist and the clear violin ca-

Aagusto Luppi proved that the shoe is a musical instrument In Benedetto Marcello’s Concerto for Oboe and Strings. The peo­ple of Clinton showed that they did appreciate “longhaired” mu­sic as they were captured by the terrific melody for the oboe hi the aBegro movement, the haunting mood established by spirited, lighthearted finale al­legro.

In such n small

as the San Pietro, each member has to be well chosen and be of equal calibre. The membeft were all students of Conductor Ruotoio and most of them are teachers in their own right This is a young group of musicians ranging' in age from the middle twenties to the early thirties. There is very, little tom-over among the members except for the men’s fulfilling their mili­tary obligation in the Italian army. The 13-week tour, which ends soon, is their fourth 1* the U. S. They have also toured South America, Europe, and Asia.

Due to the excellent acoustics of Beta Audiotrium, Pagghmi’s Variations for Violin and Strings on n theme by Rossini was sub­stituted for the number printed in the program. This was n rare treat for die audience for one seldom hears this number per­formed “live.” Soloist Gigino Maestri displayed hte great skill in this playful number in which he used only one string of his violin. And the light pixxi-

in the orchestral

tics are necessary for this num­ber.

Two woodwinds and two horns Joined the strings for the final number; Mozart’s Symphony No. 29 in A Major. This added a dash of color to the program which was welcomed.

A review of thiswould not be complete without a word of praise for die bass vio­linist, RaffaeUo Majoni, who held up well doing the entire program, played hte instrument with the utmost feeling nod pro­vided n solid, yet unobtrusive, foundation for this small cham­ber orchestra.

The entire program tended to­ward the 18th cenutry school of Italian music largely because this period contributed the most music for an ensemble such as the San Pietro. This small group does not scale down music com­posed for the larger orchestras which came later.

The appearance of this high­ly classical group of young mu­sicians was praised by many people of Clinton ns a welcome relief from the monotone melo­dies and primitive rhythms which pass for “music” in pres­ent day America.

One fact that impressed both the orchestra and this reviewer is: the people of Clinton have good concert manners! It is n joy to attend n good concert where the people are in their seats at the beginning, listen at­tentively and express their ap­preciation appropriately. The only criticism would be that the auditorium was only half-filled— if only local people weald take advantage o fthe cultural oppor­tunities offered by the town of Clinton and Presbyterian Col-

For concerts with reserved seats the most expensive seats are those close to the orchestra where the patron can sot every expression of the musician, almost fed himself to be a part of it. But Monday night with no reserved seats, for to many peo­ple sat at the back of tho con­cert haR as if they wow attend­ing their local church.

Billy Nelson Is Standout Guard For S. C. UniversityClinton’s Billy Nelson, who got

his chance ns a starter in the Gamecocks’ second game of the 1905 football season, was a steady performer in the Uni­versity of South Carolina’s drive to the co-championship of the Atlantic Coast Conference.

Nelson, who lettered as a re­serve interior lineman as a soph­omore in 1964, opened the 1MB season ticket for second team duty ns an offensive tackle ns the Gamecocks went to platoon substitution. However, BUly got his chance to start when seniot guard Wilbur Hodge sustained a leg injury in the season open­er nt The Citadel.

The 6-3, 239 pound Clinton na­tive switched over to offensive guard and by the time Hodge recovered was doing such a good job that Hodge never did get hte starting job back .

“Billy did a fine job for us,” Condi Marvin Bass said in as­sessing tiie lankly 21-year-old’s contribution to the Gamecocks’ championship year. “He was one of several unheralded boys wpm came through admirably for us and we are looking for­ward to having a fine senior year from him in 1906.”

Bass said Neson played ex­ceptionally well in the Clemson game when the Gamecocks aid­ed tiie season with their second straight victory over their arch rival and In so doing earned a share of the conference title ns well ns knocking Denison out of contention.

“We lose a lot of UnenSen by graduation, but Billy Nelson is one of those who will be back next year,” said Bass. “With his experience and the good young backs who were sopho­mores this fan, we are optimis­tic About the Gamecock future.”

Nelson is the eon of Mr. and Mrs. Harwood Nelson of N. Adair St., Clinton.

a shotgun,” she testified.Telling her husband to go to

the bedroom because Craig had a gun, the young woman testi­fied she then locked the back door. Craig came to the door, she said, opened the unlatched screen door and "not being able to open the door, he called for her to let him In.

“He looked just wHd-like . . . I knew he had been drinking/’ she said.

After conversing with him through the closed door, Mrs. Beck said she finally opened it and Craig entered, inquiring as to Beck’s whereabouts. Mrs. Beck testified she remained near the back door as Craig entered the house, walked past her, then “I heard all tiie shots.”

She testified she was crying near the fireplace when Craig re-entered the living room and said, “Patsy, gft the doctor, I am shot.”

She testified that she told Craig to leave and he did.

Entering the bedroom she said she saw her husband and “he didn’t say anything and i ran out of the house.”

Mrs. Beck as to whether there was a pistol in the bouse and she said, “Yes, sir, in the bed­

room where Walter was.” She said tiie gun was kept for pro­tection.

County Deputy A. S. Hope testified to what he found when he arrived. He went to the home after receiving the call, he said, and Mrs. Beck told him when he drove up that “Craig had shot Walter.”

A physician's statement read at the inquest said the victim had a groin wound and two wounds in the right chest.
