Using fact, myth and pure speculation, the renowned British playwright constructs a "fantasia" on the lives of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, one of the greatest musical geniuses of all time, and Antonio Salieri, an envious, ungifted court composer who claims to have murdered Mozart. God, it appears, has blessed whose middle name Mozart "Amadeus" literally means with a genius "loved by God" as pure and unparalleled as his music. He has bestowed on Salieri only enough talent to recognize his mediocrity. Told in flashback form by Salieri, Amadeus explores the 19th-centu- legend that Salieri, an out- wardly successful composer in cast as the formance, and crowds at New York's Broadhurst Theatre despite the highest admission prices Morey, PMT's new artistic rector who's directing Amadeus. "It says grace is a free gift of God." "Silieri," Morey explained, "is u good man, an honest man, a virtuous man, yet God won't grant him his sole ambition in the opportunity to create life music that soars, that reaches beyond him. "Whereas Mozart is a foul, obscene, egotistical little pig, yet God uses him as his conduit. Mozart transcribes music already created by God. And here," Morey said, "lies the theme of the play, that God gives grace to whom he will."

The chances are slim of getting 6 or more people with simultaneous good expressions in 3 or 4 tries. Those who have done this every year know what I mean. A tripod and a self timer, so dad can get in the picture, are most useful here. Otherwise, a neighbor or an inlaw could serve as well. Stairs are a ggoi setting for groups; they help to let everybody's face be seen. If you don't want to take your own greeting card picture this is something that our Portraits Plus studio can do. As you know, when we make any portrait or family picture you get to keep the negative.

Asked if the rock tune approach to "Can't Escape the Cat" is too faddish for BYU, Gibbons replied, "We premiered it at the Wyoming pep rally the other night and the students loved it they were singing even during the first playalong ing. The "hook" of the tune is a chorus that allows cheerleaders and crowd to answer back and forth and then sing together.

The Truly Personal Greeting As winter is upon us and the holiday season looms, it is time to think about Christmas cards. Now I hate it when people rush the holidays on us as much as you do but if you want photo greeting cards it does take a little time to get them ready. Bob Oaks and I have been exchanging photo greeting cards for nearly twenty years. Bob is a long time friend and now a VIP in the Air Force. It has been so interesting each year to see the changes and additions to his family. A while back we were at Trafalga playing miniature golf with the kids. We saw Bob's son, who is attending BYU, there and though we had never met him we recognized him from the pictures.
