This is a free concert for school children of fourth grade and over. However, all children must have tickets which can be se-cured at no cost at any of the Foodtown or AG Food Stores, according to Harold L. Gregory, symphony manager. "This is the only city in the U. S. where school children have the privilege of hearing the mu-sic they study in the school room played especially for them by a full symphony orchestra under the baton of one of America's leading conductors," he said. The City School and the Salt Lake District PTA cooperate with the food stores in the pro-motion of the youth concerts.

Bernstein; Buckaroo Holiday from Aaron Copeland's Rodeo; excerpts from Edward Grieg's Peer Gynt Music; Minuet from Mozart's Jupiter Symphony; the well known Blue Danube by Jo-ha- n Strauss and excerpts from George Gershwin's Porgy and Bess. Famed Character Actress to Perform in U. Play Starting Monday evening, Feb. 2 through 7 at Kingsbury Hall, the well known character actress Mildred Dunnock will star in the University of Utah Theatre's production of Maxwell Ander-son's gripping historical drama of Elizabeth the Queen. Liam Sullivan, fast rising young television star, will be a featured supporting player. Miss Dunnock, whose highly sensitive portrait of a half crazed mother in "Another Part of the Forest" will be remembered as one of Broadway's most distinguished actresses. Others may remember her re-cent stage or movie portrayals as Linda Loman in "Death of a Salesman," or the school teacher in "Peyton Place." Mr. Sullivan is an actor much in demand in recent months by network television. He has done leads in Climax, Gunsmoke, the Theatre Guild with Helen Hayes, Philco Theater and many others. He has been featured in such Broadway plays as "The Con-stant Wife" with Katharine Cor-nell, and in various famous stock theaters in the country. "Elizabeth the Queen" is an extraordinary drama set in Eng-land at the time in history when the young and popular general, Essex, was the royal favorite of the aging Queen Elizabeth. Yet even more extraordinary is the character of the love of Eliza-beth and Essex, because each is shown to be passionately devot-ed yet passionately opposed to the other. This exceedingly tense and in-teresting dramatic situation is resolved by Mr. Anderson with an ending of unusual poignancy and power. Director will be University Theater associate director Robert Hyde Wilson, who most recently brought University playgoers the immensely successful "The Happiest Milionaire." Mr. Wil-son has had a powerful support-ing cast of local players in re-hearsal for weeks. Tickets can be obtained at the Kingsbury Hall, Room 210 from 9 to 5. There will be a student performance for students only oh Monday evening, Feb. 2 and University of Utah students will be admitted with their student activity tickets. Curtain time will be at 8:30 for the evening per-formances and at 2:00 for the Saturday matinee.
