Show IB THE GREEN SHEET Thursday, Sept. 20, 1984 O mresuyu At Pioneer Memorial - Musical Magic Is Staged by Michele Bartmess SALT LAKE. Robert Peterson and Patricia Kies are spinning a special kind of magic at Pioneer Memorial Theatre. Backed up by a solid cast, marvelous music and surrounded by the creative talents of Ron Crosby and Peter Willardson, they a sparkling version of Meredith Willsons delightful slice of The Music Man. Perhaps its debatable whether or not it is Americas favorite musical, but theres no doubt its Utahs. Peterson has never been in finer voice and hes tailor-mad- e for the role of Professor Harold Hill. Its almost as if the 12 years since these same two thrilled us hadnt happened. Or else theyve gotten better. Peterson resists any temptation to overplay the role. His clothes as well as his demeanor are almost restrained, and it works to perfec- Americana, PRODUCT , . , Holladay residents Candy Rideout (left) and Diane Ward display one of their The two women form designs in cross-stitcFINISHED Cricket, Inc., which produces charted publications, cross-stitc- h tion. Miss Kies is brilliant as Marian. She gives off an intellectual, bookish Holladay Women Aim At Keeping Us All In Stitches by Helen Glissmeyer HOLLADAY. Two women from Holladay would like to keep Utah and the whole country in stitches. Candy Rideout and Diane H. Ward have designed and published five booklets of counted cross stitch patterns and soon will have six more ready to distribute under the trade name of Cricket, Inc. Since publishing their first set in January, they have shipped orders to retail outlets throughout the country. Once buyers are aware of the unusually beautiful motifs worked in luscious contemporary colors, they are anxious to try more. The two designers have used their fine art and color expertise to produce stitchery projects that are many threads above the average. Most popular so far is their Christmas in July book which features an exquisite Twelve Days of Christmas tree. Delicate combinations of mauve, rose, grays and greens give a soft luxurious appearance to thisJinished piece. All projects in the Yule book adapt readily to other holidays and situations, according to Mrs. Rideout. One of the Drummers Drumming could be framed for a boys room, while one of the Ladies Dancing could be enlarged with more detail for a charming addition to a girls room. Christina Ballerina in the same book can have a basket of flowers in her hand for Easter or a stuffed heart for a Valentine. Besides the cross stitch patterns, there are instructions for a angel with bobbed yarn hair. In the country and farm instruction books are unique animals, with an additional bonus of a quilt by Beth Ann Neville. Another quilt in heart applique by Jodi Warner will be published in September in the Heart of the Country pamphlet. As first of their guest art designers, Brooke Morrison, a specialist in printmaking, has included her delightful Paper Willie and Paper Winnie bears. Another Salt Lake Artist, Paris Bottman, will find her plate figures in stitches in another pamphlet soon to be completed. More books on the press are Patchwork and Paper Dolls, Country Bunny and a beautiful Welch Sampler. Candy Rideout, who is the mother of six children, obtained a degree in fine arts, drawing and painting from the University of Utah. She has had her own advertising agency several years, doing fashion illustrations for various newspapers and magazines and creating stained glass windows for Beehive Glass Co. Mrs Ward, mother of three, has a degree in education from the UofU and has taught English'and art in public schools. At present she is an account executive for Zabriskie and Associates, a public relations firm. The two partners met at college and later kept finding ourselves on the same committees in civic, com- - flavor, but theres an underlying warmth. Shes far too lovely to have played the role in total old maid" fashion. Her singing is suberb. The Trombones reprise of Seventy-siand Good Night My Someone is one of those theater highlights that you can never quite forget. Peterson and Kies could be worth the rather hefty price of a ticket by x promunity or charity-oriente- d jects. They discovered their tastes were so much alike, it was almost frightening. After deciding to collaborate on a stitchery project, they went to a trade show in San Francisco to survey books already available. They found that needlepoint information was plentiful, but that cross stitch ideas were lacking. They sewed their first projects as they designed them, but now they block them out first on graph paper, imagining what colors would look best. They stitch up about half of their patterns and hire out the rest. Its tricky to know how the end color actually will appear because we go from the tone of a full skein of thread. When it is separated into two threads for sewing, the color will appear much different, observes Mrs. Rideout. Photography and printing for the booklets cost many thousands of dollars because they are top quality. Mrs. Rideout says that their own commercial art background saves them a great deal of money because they are able to prepare all the art work and layouts to the point of being camera ready. The designers will travel to a total of six trade shows this year in San Francisco, Atlanta, Ga. and Charlotte, N.C. They have found that counted cross stitch is especially popular in the southern states. It will take about two years for the two women to realize any profit from their business venture, but in the meantime they are enjoying the challenge, the learning experiences and. most of all, the new friends they meet. Cricket, Inc. designs are available at area needlework departments or by calling themselves, but they dont have to be. The supporting cast is marvelous - especially the young dancers who do great glory to Garth Peays choreography. Although his appearance is somewhat brief, Max Robinson delights the audience as Charlie Cowell. Like Peterson, Utahns just never tire of him. Alan Nash offers an interesting, sort of bumbling, Mayor Shinn. Someone needs to explain why Lila LeVar is denied star billing in the program and publicity as Eulalie MacKecknie Shinn. She is delightful, especially her facial expression. All of the Pickalittle Ladies are wonderful, especially Michelle Hor-mawhose brassy voice is just what Meredith Willson ordered. The traveling salesmen were also entertaining. Charlie Brown did solid double duty as the conductor and Constable Marcellus Washburn is Locke. played delightfully by Noel Twit-chelTwila Marie McLendon and Joe Oehsenreiter have a lot of appeal as Zaneeta Shinn and Tommy Djilas. The Gunderson quartet is in good form as the school board. The only really weak performance is by Bobbi Fouts as Mrs. Paroo. Peter Willardsons lighting effects are excellent, although the lighting up of the flowers around the footbridge during the love scene seemed a bit much. -- n l. Hyperactivity May Not Be Outgrown SALT LAKE. Hyperactivity, the most common chronic psychological problem in children, formerly was believed to diminish and disappear with age. Research at the University of Utah Medical Center, however, shows it persists in many people, causing continued problems adolescence throughout and into childhood. Restless, impulsive and inattentive children may continue to display similar traits as adults. Adults who feel they are hyperactive can receive free evalution and treatment by volunteering for a research program being conducted Medical Centers by University Dept, of Psychiatry. According to Dr. Frederick Reimherr, assistant professor of psychiatry, hyperactive adults also may notice having two or more of the following symptoms: hot temper outbursts; depression frequent lasting hours to at most a few days, either coming by itself or triggered by the normal stresses of daily living; disorganization on the job or in the home; impulsivity in personal relations, money, etc.; or being very readily upset or hassl- ship." Dr. Reimherr says. They can be dramatically improved by treatment with old and new medications. Dr. Reimherr says the research being conducted by University Medical Center has been ongoing for s the past nine years. "About of the patients treated with the medications we are using have been helped considerably. Our goal is to develop a chemical test that can help determine which patients may respond to treatment, he says. The volunteers involved in the research will provide blood and urine samples that will be studied to help develop such a test. We also wish to examine the neurochemical changes which occur with treatment. Volunteers for the study must be at least age 21. They should not currently be abusing alcohol or narcotics. Women volunteering for the research cannot be pregnant. Those individuals who show symptoms of hyperactivity, who want help and are willing to participate in research, should call the Hyperactivity Clinic at the University of Utah Medical Center, two-third- These symptoms often produce serious problems at work, at school or in marital and personal relation RENT 561-696- Smoke-fre- e Generation In Our Future? SALT LAKE. Can a smoke-fre- e generation be attained in the United States by the year 2000? Utahs oldest voluntary health organization says yes. R. James Steenblik, president of the American Lung Assn, of Utah, says the association enthusiastically accepts the challenge issued by the U.S. Surgeon General to join forces to create a smoke-fre- e society by the turn of the century. Surgeon General C. Everette Koop, M.D., set a national goal of achieving a smoke-fre- e generation by the year 2000. He issued the challenge in an address to the American Lung Assn, in May. He appealed to other health organizations, the health community and all Americans to join forces in a national effort. He cited much background and evidence to conclude it is a reasonable goal. To achieve this goal, the board of directors of the American Lung Assn, of Utah has made a commitment to intensify its efforts to make the norm, Steenblik says. As advocates to help people stop smoking, and to help others not to start, the Christmas Seal People have already made a significant impact, Steenblik explains. The Lung Assn bases its concern on the demonstrable health risks of smoking to the smoker, the addictive nature of smoking and the very solid evidence of the health risks of involunteary smoking to the g r. Smokers interested in kicking the smoking habit may call or write the association for information about hypnosis and group methods or smoking cessation.
