Handels florid counterpoint much easier to control at a deliberate pace And when the singers reach thost magnificent Handelian cadences, they're going to create a solid wall of sound that will put the fear of God in anyone The Thunder Rolled In the performance Saturday night the oratorio society chorus did just that It was better unified than at any other time Ive heard it in the past five or six years All the contrapuntal lines were there, the pieces f the sometimes complex puzzle fit beautifully And when "the Lord gave the word," thunder rolled through the Salt Lake Tabernacle But Mr Salgo and this is a big qualification accomplished this at the expense of much ot the drama of the piece. There was little momentum in this interpretation, no sense of urgency, few moments of ecstatic joy. The music simply plodded along It was precise, it was big, but with some noble exceptions, it was dull Three choruses were exceptions In "Surely He The Oscar show will be aired next March 30 by ABC.

But, as long as the ratings hold up, the possibility of any drastic change in the arrangements for the festivities is remote.

And with the involvement of director Blake Edwards, who resigned from the lucrative film serial after the aggravation of making the 1978 Revenge of the Pink Panther convinced him he couldnt work with the fiery star again. 7:15, vv J j .t.PUtT ,, 05 10 05 1 6 OS 8 05 MY 10 05 Hull ( THEATRE , U ,l f . i!

Bach adds that he still '.Yo' Redwood Rd H S4M bouth MtiUAUNN mm considers the Romance script which Sellers wrote shortly before his death this year really wonderful, but wrong to use right now when we have to accommodate the talents of a new star. We wont scrap it. Well keep it on a shelf and will hopefully use it one day. United Artists still seems high on having Dudley Moore step into Sellers Panther shoes, but casting will be decided jointly by the studio and Edwards.
