Admission will be $3 for adults, $2 for high school and middle school students and $1 for elementary school students and children.

Bluegrass music is rooted in a variety of traditional musical styles including Appalachian Ap-palachian folk music, country coun-try music, southern gospel music, "white" blues, the "hill" music of southern and coastal states, old-time fiddling fid-dling and the folk music of the British Isles. It is usually performed without amplification am-plification using the acoustic instruments that give it a unique, characteristic sound: fiddle, banjo, man dolin, guitar and stand-up bass. The result is a hard-driving, hard-driving, upbeat brand of music guaranteed to set toes tapping and bodies swaying or to relax the senses with mellow vocals that can put Americans in touch with their musical "roots."

The group showcases the fiddling talents of young Daniel Bates of Wanship. The PeeWee Pickers, one of the nation's youngest performing per-forming bluegrass bands, will also perform at the festival. Ranging in age from 10 to 16 years old, the PeeWees have also performed perfor-med widely throughout the state at assorted festivals and will be featured on a television program later this month filmed by the LDS Church.

Michael Palin is young Charles Fortescue, an Edwardian preacher who manages to combine the two in a most ingenious way. After ten years in Africa, Fortescue returns home to England with his idealism untainted plus he has a healthy interest in the earthier ear-thier aspects of African culture. (His souvenirs include in-clude an armful of fertility symbols.) His immediate prospects include a bloodless marriage. Charles' long-betrothed long-betrothed fiancee (Phoebe Nicholls) has shown her devotion over the years by Park City Cabaret plans 1983 edition An all-new Park City Cabaret will be coming to the Kimball Art Center Feb. 18 and 19. Wanda Belli of Coronado, California, will return to produce the musical revue. Ms. Belli has also produced a number of similar shows for the Hotel Del Coronado. Last year's Park City Cabaret sold out in its two-evening two-evening run. This year's show, featuring entirely new skits and dances, will draw from the talents of a number of Park City residents and business people. Committees have already been formed to organize the event. Ginny Pinder will act as chairman; Georgene Crosby and Joann Krajeski will co-chair the sponsorship committee; Mary Jane Bird will oversee casting; Karen Coleman is in charge of costuming and fashion coordination; coor-dination; Deanna Carpenter is in charge of food; and Sydney Reed will direct publicity. Any persons interested in helping with the Cabaret should call the Kimball Art Center at 649-8882. carefully ordering his letters in boxes with all the dedication of a curator. "I love filing," she says. Fortescue's next assignment, assign-ment, however, takes him to a different class of people. He is instructed to open a mission in the slums of London Lon-don for "fallen women." However, prostitutes are suspicious of attempts to reform them. The only way to convert them is to relate on their own terms. Ergo, Fortescue has to do a little falling of his own. Another temptation comes from the high-born lady (Maggie Smith) who could fund his shelter. Her husband (Trevor Howard) is a grumpy old buzzard who mumbles forgetfully, "Who is it in this country I hate?" "Missionaries," his wife reminds him. As the plot developsm it starts to look like a comic version of "French Lieutenant's Woman." The stories are roughly the same. Respectable young man breaks off a longstanding long-standing romance with a woman of his own class to take up with a fallen women (or women). In both cases, the young man is honest enough to avoid the hypocrisy of his elders who visit brothels on the sly. True, the abandoned woman is hurt, but both pictures soften sof-ten the blow by picturing the fiancee as a shallow little twit. It's a nice joke that the missionary finds converts through his sexual attractions. attrac-tions. But the picture doesn't show you how Palin offers something beyond sex to his ladies. There's not really much evidence he can offer the ladies a better life, so when the picture turns serious, based on that assumption, it's hard to accept ac-cept the switch in tone. Palin is warm and winning as the innocent preacher. He also wrote the script, and willingly throws some of the best bits in the movie to his co-stars. Maggie Smith is elegantly amorous. Trevor Howard is a marvelous old curmudgeon who believes the solution to poverty is to chain everyone up. And Michael Hordern contributes a splendid bit as a senile butler who strives to retain an unruffled calm as he persistently per-sistently gets lost in the corridor of Howard's 200-room 200-room mansion. "The Missionary" swings from comedy to painterly beauty to gentle drama. It's not as wild as the Monty Python films. But it may convert you yet. |
