Show Leyden leads cheer for Hollywood tor himself, the program was unpretentious and laced with a wry chuckle or two. It was an easy-gointhoroughly enjoyable evening. Much of this was due to Leyden as programmer and arranger. His medleys and selections offered enough contrast in terms of styles, moods and orchestrations to keep the proceedings from falling too deeply into a rut, an danger in concerts of this type. Medleys Aplenty The potpourri included a medley of the By Paul Wetzel Tribune Staff Writer Early in his career, Norman Leyden wrote arrangements for Glenn Miller. When the big bands died, Leyden moved on to music education. More recently he has '.ut quite a swath as a conductor of orchestral pops concerts. But as his debut with the Utah Symphony this weekend showed, the big band style has stayed with him, not only in his arrangements but in the way he conducts a pops concert. Often, Leyden doesnt conduct in the conventional sense. He fronts the orchestra, clarinet in hand, in the manner of Artie Shaw, Benny Goodman or Woody Herman, setting a beat, giving some cues, then turning to face the audience and tooting a few solo bars on his licorice stick. If theres any doubt about where his musical really lies, consider the final encore Friday night at Moonlight Serenade, Symphony Hall: the Glenn Miller theme. Hollywood Theme However, Leyden didnt come to Salt Lake City to conduct a Salute to the Big Band Era, although if the symphony engages Urn again that might be an obvious programming choice. This weekend's concerts were devoted instead to film music. In addition to conducting the concerts, given at Symphony Hall and Snowbird, and serving as occasional soloist, Leyden provided all of the arrangements. Conductor and orchestra, joined in several segments of the program by the Utah Chorale, served up this Hooray for d in a spirit of Hollywood warmth and good humor.

That scene is not in the movie The Twilight Zone, but took place during the making of the movie last week at Indian Dunes Park near Saugus, Calif., about 40 miles north of Los Angeles. When the scene was over, actor Vic Morrow and two young children, Renee Shinn Chen and My-c- a Dinh Lee, lay dead in the shallow river. Although the Twilight Zone accident has become the subject of intense media interest, it is only the latest in a series of production accidents to strike Hollywood in The work, donated by Mr. and Mrs. Robert W.

Three members of the cameramen's union were killed in the last eight months, spurring members of that union to form the movie industrys first joint safety co imittee, which will, with the cooperation of the major studios, investigate production accidents. Cameraman Bob Marta, one of the leaders of Local 659s safety committee, is concerned. The deaths of Vic Morrow and those kids are tragic, he said. The trouble is, nobody cares when the people behind the camera are killed. What does that make us, dog meat? Marta was interviewed by phone from Winnipeg, Canada, where the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees is having its biannual convention. Marta said a resolution insisting upon increased safety measures won a unanimous vote of confidence from more than 1,000 delegates attending the convention from union locals throughout the United States and Canada. Convention resolutions will not affect the current investigation into the Twilight Zone accident, which occurred on the final e, Museum acquires Blue Sky The first half concluded with an orchestral medley on the theme of rain, including a so version of Singm in the Rain infectious and evocative that nothing short of an appearance by Gene Kelly could have made the images more vivid. The balance of the program included more Jerome Kem romance, a clever parody of Rossini in an arrangement of Berlins The Piccolino from Top Hat, and some Latin atmosphere, Hollywood style, in the form of selections from Down to Rio. "Flying The chorus most impressive performance came in a sonorous, smooth and a cappella rendition of Kerns "The Last Time I Saw Paris.

Some musicians have a gift for producing pops concerts which are relaxed and melodious but not banal. Kostelanetz had that gift in greatest measure, both as conductor and arranger, and though hes not that late conductors equal in terms of sophistication, Leyden appears to have been blessed by the same muse.
