  • \ Arts & Entertainment The Western Carolinian Page 4 Thursday, February 18,1988 Theatre Review BvGo7doenVGrlt Naughty Marietta Dress Night of Naughty Marietta - H<m<»tt photo There is a cer- traln adjustment of attitude necessary for a theatergoer to enjoy Western Carolina University's production of the comic operetta Naughty Marietta. The play, which opened February 17 at Niggll Theatre on the WCU campus, needs to be viewed rather like an old, hand-tinted postcard from the thirties, where rosy cheeked couples stare at a surreal sunset from Clingman's Dome or some other "most photo- f^CITY LIGHTS Magazines you won't find anywhere else in town ♦Interview ♦Art News *Arts Magazine *Filmfax ♦Photography ♦Connoisseur ♦Travel & Leisure FOR KTDS ♦Cricket ♦Odyssey ♦Chickadee Plus Many More Phone 586-9499 55 E. Main St. Sylva graphed" view. One has a choice: to either discard the play and the card as unrealistic coloring Jobs or to accept and enjoy the charming, campy, innocence of them. If one chooses the latter, than an evening spent watching the energetic frolic of Naughty Marietta will be pleasantly spent Indeed. The play Is set in New Orleans In 1803, just prior to the American aqqulsition of the Lousiana Territories. Upon this historical base, an ediface of high silliness is constructed, complete with a young girl concealing noble ancestry; dastardly villians with thick French accents modelled on Inspector Clouseau; a troop of earnest Americans in coon skin caps; a petulant governor and his sinister advisor; a manly sergeant speaking in an idecipherable Scots brogue...you get the idea. To attempt a plot summary is to mislead-just sit back and let the play's antic obviousness lead where it likes. There Is much fun to be seen and heard where it leads. Director Donald Loeffler has managed to fit as many as thirty five singing, dancing players clad in eighteenth century dress onto the Niggll Theatres' small stage. These ensemble scenes are entertaining largely because there is so much going on: Marietta (Anita Knight) warbling high notes from the center of the stage, while on one side of her, the American soldiers are behaving as a sort of goon squad in coon skins, and on the other, the evil servant Florenze (Brit- ton Corry) is suggesting notorious plans to his master, the corpulent Actiing Governor Grandet (Wayne Wilson). At any given moment, there seems to be at least three subsets of comic activity in motion. In rare moments when the stage Is not full, the sets themselves offer rich visual diversions. There are four full backdrop changes: bayou. New Orleans street, theater Interior, and elegant club. All the scenes are painted on flats, but with such bright colors and Interesting perspectives that they tend to pull the viewer's eye in. The New Orleans street scene Is particularly effective at this. The effect is not intended to create a realistic street, but rather a charming world of make-believe Into which the viewer wants to enter. However, even the attractiveness of sets and costumes, and the good natured energy of the ensemble numbers, can'tcarry the play through the stretchesof dialogue. In them the pace falters, and the players plough ahead with grim determination to get to the next song. Of the pricipals, only the villainous Etienne (Timothy Bolick) manages to give spoken lines much animation, and that is largely because his character tends Itself to a fairly broad, burlesque style of delivery. Ms. Knight as Marietta displays plenty of an energetic ....Continued Page 8 FFD's N'»Tf CASINO Nldh/T ' GtZAN &1ZOOM (8 ?rry) \&°eEM Ms &u At casmo u\q\t '°j^ mmum Loo cuaw ]J February 25 /Brv mini-concert wifh'ScsT-t lories • ijn^ 8 pm-Cherokee roorn-free • V.\y m *S rrflKician with comir. re.\r£" m A delight!

Fanciful Animals, People and Do-Nothing Machines The first solo-exhlbitlon of the folk art of Clyde Terrell Whiteside openedFeb. 15-and will run through April 1,1988 in the Belk Building Art Gallery at WCU. Mr. Whiteside was born Feb 11, 1917 In McDowell County, NC in the small town of Old Fort. For over half a century, he has lived and worked In Old Fort, producing numerous items that fall into the elusive category of 'Folk Art'—painted wood carvings, windmills, whirligigs, and a house with a four- acre ornamental garden. Whiteside has had no formal art training- he left school after the fifth grade—and yet he continues to carve, construct and paint fanciful animals and people as a 'hobby.' Most of his carvings were created from branches of felled trees he happened across while walking in the nearby Pisgah National Forest. The branches suggested forms of various animals he knewfrom a lifetime of living in the mountains. He collected these found wood pieces and carved, painted, anu added marble eyes In order to visualize the animal forms in his imagination. Selected pieces of the work—"Willie and Dog," 1987-88 (painted wood and tin); "Sea Serpent," circa 1976 (wood, enamel, nails); "The Machine that Doesn't Do Anything,"1987-88 (electric- motor driven, painted wood construction); along with numerous painted wooden windmills, whirligigs, and carvings will be included. An open reception was held on Monday, Feb. 15,1988 at the Art Gallery-Belk Building. A catalogue, documenting Whiteside's life and folk art, will be published by Western Carolina University and be available in the Spring on this year. For more information on the exhibition or the catalogue, please call Western Carolina University - De- partment of Art (704) 227-7210.

Their new album," Back for the Attack' has already sold 25 million copies as the video for feature song "Burning like a Flame." has stayed In the upper half of MTV's top ten request video show since its release. The 60-minute plus album is their finest yet, both musically and lyrically, and is a must for any serious hard rock fan, and that's a fact. The long-awaited album comes after the successful" Under Lock and Key" that featured the fret-burning "In My Dreams," making the guitar mastery of George Lynch well-known. "Back for the Attack" contains an instrumental track written by Lynch and bassist Jeff Pilson that will, without a doubt, establish Lynch as one of the world's finest rock guitarists. • ..Continued Page 8 PIZZA DELIVERY on campus (5-11 p.m.) other items also available $^00 min.
