Show 7 It's A RedrWhite And Blue All American Celebration by Olga Milius Green Sheet Theater Critie SALT LAKE. It's a red, white and blue celebration of America and the Thursday night audience diun't want it to end. City Rep's "George M! a Celebration of the American Constitution" offers a great opportunity to begin your Fourth of July party early. If you have even a particle of patriotic blood in your veins, this will make it tingle. There are so many great songs, each of them capable of standing alone; but what can you expect of a show bearing the name of Cohan. , And with the bonus of numbers by Irving Berlin, John Philip Sousa and the City Rep ensemble, who seem to get better and better, this is a real knockout. Directors and choreographers Joanne Parker and Marilyn Montgomery have developed this ensemble into a highly professional group, and they excel at this type of show, a music-fille- d quick-pacerevue, spiced with dancing, accompanied by their outstanding orchestra under the capable baton of Richard Chatelain. City Rep's Symphony Hall performances are worthy of the setting. But back to the show. The first half is devoted to George M. and includes such hits as "I'm A Yankee Doodle Dandy," "All Aboard For Broadway," "Harrigan (Mulligan)" and "Over There," ending with a rousing, flag flying "You're a Grand Old Flag," which had the ensemble going through a good flag drill without missing a beat. The block-buste- r songs were interspersed with light numbers, including "Musical Moos," "Billie," "Wonderful Boy," "Musical Comedy Man; " a parasol twirling "Push Me Along In My Pushcart" by the girls and "Rose" by the men. Wearing white tuxes and red, white and blue dresses that somehow hinted of the passing of two centuries, the talented ensemble otfers so much energy and enjoyment the audience is swept along with them and hardly aware of the passing time. In celebration of the bicentennial of the Constitution, each evening's performance includes the reading of the Preamble, backed by Merrill Jensons's "Foundation of Freedom," written especially for this production. -n I" he orchestra earned its keep and then some in this production and a highlight was the performance of Sousa's ' 'Stars and Stripes. " As an army brat growing up on Sousa marches, I wanted to stand up and cheer. Which is just what the audience did at the conclusion of the show. The City Rep ensemble isn't noted for fancy curtain calls (thank goodness). But Thursday's audience hadn't had enough and, following a standing ovation which brought us a repeat of the last chorus of "Strike Up The Band," the audience remained in their seats clapping until the ensemble returned and gave them an extra flag waving, marching, salute to America. Green' Sheet "Follies." But, that doesn't mean you have to wait until fall to enjoy Cit Rep. City Rep is offering a summer production schedule, beginning tonight (Thursday) in the ZCMI Center Little Theater with "J. Golden," and will offer outdoor theater productions beginning June 8 on the Salt Lake Art Center Plaza, with a The production also included the "Fanfare For The Common Man," by Aaron Copeland, and the Wilhousky arrangement of "Battle Hymn of the Republic," to which the ensemble and orchestra did full justice, even letting the audience join in the final chorus.

After a brief ceremony, the audience will walk to the cemetery where Thomas s. Monson, second counselor of the FROM first presidency of the LDS Church, will give a dedicatory prayer. The remains of 32 Utah pioneers were buried in the old cemetery in Salt Lake City's block 49. The graves were unearthed last summer during excavation. They were then preserved by a Brigham Young University archaeological dig and transferred to the new cemetery. Block 49 is south of the site where the first Utahns built Pioneer Fort in 1847. Graves in this first cemetery date from July 1847 to September TO BROADWAY 1853. The first pioneer buried in the old cemetery was Milton Thirlkill, a young boy who drowned. He was buried Aug. 12, 1847, less than three weeks after the pioneers arrived on July 24. Another early burial was that of Caroline Van Dyke Grant. She actually died three days before her company of pioneers entered the valley, but rather than bury her on the trail, her body was rushed ahead and placed in the cemetery. Nancy O'Neil Rich was also buried in the cemetery. She was the mother of Captain Charles C. Rich. Other persons buried in the old cemetery include John Dixon and John Quayle Jr. Both were killed by Indians and buried in August of 1853. Mary Elizabeth Dixon was buried Sept. 23, 1853.
