In between there is evidence of musical skill by each musician, but the forced, contrived approach makes listening to the album more of a chore than a joy. The second side of the album is more likeable and listenable than the first. Opening with “Five G,” the band breaks out of a catchy, funky bass riff to allow guitarist Holdsworth a flashy solo. “Abington Chasp,” the next tune, features bassist Berlin, but is no more creative than “Fiye G.” “Hell’s Bells,” the first cut on the album, is sheer banal goo based on one trite riff. On the other hand, “Travels with Myself And Someone Else” and “Forever Until Sunday” are much less forced in approach. Consequently, they are easier to swallow than most of the material presented here. There are occasional moments in the music when Stewart’s synthesizer eases the overall hectic pace. Bruford needs a quick exit from this dead end. Either freer, more open-ended jamming or a definite structure like the aforementioned progressive rock bands could release him from this tight spot. This predicament is sad in light of his exceptionally tight playing. He never misses a beat, but tightness may have fcjwid stifling new.extremes in the case oP'One Of A Kind.” . | Unfortunately, spontaneity is choked | off at the expense of flashy effects which I wear thin rather quickly.

Box 3368, Montgomery, AL 36109. 7 Keys ByP.J. PLATZ Daily Collegian Staff Writer “You might as well be patient; it’s gonna be a long wait.” Boy oh boy, if that ain’t the truth. “Seven Keys to Bald Pate,” the fourth production of the season presented by the State College Community Theater, opened Wednesday night at the Boal Barn Playhouse. “Seven Keys” was written by George M. Cohan in 1913. Its obvious flaw is that it is dated, but director Joseph Nierle has perked it up considerably by up- dating it to the mid-19305. This has allowed him to recreate a world of thugs, hussies and gangster politicians. It is a nice idea, and works very well. Magee has made a bet with a friend who owns Bald Pate Inn, a New England summer resort, that he can write a novel in 24 hours. The friend gives him a key to the inn, because it is the dead of winter and Magee may find there the solitude he needs to write. It is the only key in existence, Magee is told. However, he finds out soon enough Concert set Fred Waring and his singing Young Pennsylvanians will perform at the University tomorrow evening, as the final presentation of Nittany Mountain Summer’s Spectrum series. Waring, a graduate of the University, has performed several times at the University in the past. The concert, which is sold out, will begin at 8 p.m. in Eisenhower. ' Of thugs, hussies and that there is more than one key. In fact, there are seven. One by one more characters appear, all of them claiming to be the possessor of the onlykey. The play took forever to get rolling. The caretakers, Mr. and Mrs. Quimby. (Geoffrey and Pat Wilson) had poten- tially funny lines, most of which were lost either through mumbling, thick British accents (however authentic) and slow stage business. It was more than obvious that the audience was more than bored. Unfortunately, the suffering went on even after the entrance of Magee, played by Bruce Cleveland. The pace of the dialogue slackened greatly as the actors fished for their lines. Cues were never taken from one another. The actors were simply saying lines; there was no in- teraction between them. Thank goodness for Joe Seefeldt. As gangster John Bland, he burst upon the scene with enough energy to spare to at least help pick up the dragging pace. Then again, it wasn’t a one-man job. Enter Megan Ness as reporter Mary Norton, and Elaine deJoy as Mrs. Rhodes, her chaperone. Ness, as disturbingly pretty as Brooke Shields, picked up where Seefeldt left off, and the play finally found its legs. Others deserving merit above and beyond the call of duty are Mark Dykes as the chicken-livered mobster Lou Max; Jeff Silverman as Jiggs Kennedy, a bumbling Sherlock Holmes of a detective whose extremely effective character came across well through his very funny lines; and (best of all) Jean Boyd as the gum-cracking leggy Myra Thornhill. Despite her high-pitched Brooklynese, Boyd spoke clearly and without strain, an indication of good The Daily Collegian Friday, Aug. 3,1979—; ters Jean Boyd plays Myra Thornhill, a platinum blonde hussy, in the State College Community Theater's presentation of "Seven Keys to Bald Pate " The Dlav runs through Sunday, and Aug. 7 through 11. vocal quality and control.

musical skill by each musician, but theforced, contrived approach makeslistening to the album more of a chorethana joy.

The second side of the album is morelikeable and listenable than the first.Opening with “Five G,” the band breaksout of a catchy, funky bass riff to allowguitarist Holdsworth a flashy solo.“Abington Chasp,” the next tune,features bassist Berlin, but is no morecreative than “Fiye G.”

“Hell’s Bells,” the first cut on thealbum, is sheer banal goo based on onetrite riff.

On the other hand, “Travels withMyself And Someone Else” and“Forever Until Sunday” are much lessforced in approach. Consequently, theyare easier to swallow than most of thematerialpresented here.

There are occasional moments in themusic when Stewart’s synthesizer easesthe overall hectic pace.

Bruford needs a quick exit from thisdead end. Either freer, more open-endedjammingor a definite structure like theaforementioned progressive rock bandscould release him from this tight spot.

7 KeysByP.J. PLATZDaily Collegian Staff Writer

“You might as well be patient; it’sgonna be a long wait.” Boy oh boy, ifthatain’t the truth.

“SevenKeys to Bald Pate,” the fourthproduction of the season presented bythe State College Community Theater,opened Wednesday night at the BoalBarnPlayhouse.

“Seven Keys” was written by GeorgeM. Cohan in 1913. Its obvious flaw is thatit is dated, but director Joseph Nierlehas perked it up considerably by up-dating it to the mid-19305. This hasallowed him to recreate a world of thugs,hussies and gangster politicians. It is anice idea, and works very well.

Magee has made a bet with a friendwho owns Bald Pate Inn, a New Englandsummer resort, that he can writea novelin 24 hours. The friend gives him akey tothe inn, because it is the dead of winterand Magee may find there the solitudehe needs to write. It is the only key inexistence, Magee is told.

However, he finds out soon enough

Pennsylvanians will perform at theUniversity tomorrow evening, as thefinal presentation of NittanyMountain Summer’s Spectrumseries.

Waring, a graduate of theUniversity, has performed severaltimes at the University in the past.

The concert, which is sold out, willbeginat 8 p.m. in Eisenhower.

' Of thugs, hussies andthat there is more than one key. In fact,there are seven. One by one morecharacters appear, all of them claimingto be the possessor of the onlykey.

The play took forever to get rolling.The caretakers, Mr. and Mrs. Quimby.(Geoffrey and Pat Wilson) had poten-tially funny lines, most of which werelost either through mumbling, thickBritish accents (however authentic) andslow stage business. It was more thanobvious that the audience was more thanbored.

Unfortunately, the suffering went oneven after the entrance of Magee,playedby Bruce Cleveland. The pace of thedialogue slackened greatly as the actorsfished for their lines. Cues were nevertaken from one another. The actors weresimply saying lines; there was no in-teraction between them.

Thank goodness for Joe Seefeldt. Asgangster John Bland, he burst upon thescene with enough energy to spare to atleast help pick up the dragging pace.Then again, it wasn’t a one-man job.

Enter Megan Ness as reporter MaryNorton, and Elaine deJoy as Mrs.Rhodes, her chaperone. Ness, asdisturbingly pretty as Brooke Shields,picked up where Seefeldt left off, and theplay finally found its legs.

Others deserving merit above andbeyond the call of duty are Mark Dykesas the chicken-livered mobster LouMax; JeffSilverman as Jiggs Kennedy,a bumbling Sherlock Holmes of adetective whose extremely effectivecharacter came across well through hisvery funny lines; and (best of all) JeanBoyd as the gum-cracking leggy MyraThornhill.
