Tsar's life relived

Sergei Eisenstein’s masterpiece
on film, “Ivan the Terrible,” will
be shown in Sexson Auditorium
this Monday, Oct. 10, at 3:15 and
7:30 p.m. Under the sponsorship
of the Foreign Language Depart¬
ment, the film will be shown free
of cost.
This true story, set in the 16th
century, relates the tragic nature
of the great Russian Tsar’s life.
The film depicts the coronation
of Ivan, his long struggle to unify
Russia, his own personal trag¬
edies and the treachery, triumph,
and death that was known in
16th century Russia.
Eisenstein, who directed and
produced the film, has emphasized
the point that the production is
an attempt to “get away from the
ordinary” and to convey the sense
of grandeur and tragedy that was
well known to Ivan.
“Ivan the Terrible,” parts one
and two, was completed in the
years between 1943 and 1946, but
the second part was banned by
the Communist government.
Eisenstein had planned to’ film
a third part, showing the last
days of Ivan, but he died early in
1948 of a heart attack.
With guitar in hand and folk music in mind, Bud
MUSIC and Travis, popular recording duo, will make an
IN appearance at PCC next Saturday at 8 p.m. Tickets

According to Green, the two
popular young San Francisco
night club folk singers have evolv¬
ed a new approach to folk sing¬
ing: using counter melodic move¬
ments against folk melodies.
boi;h young artists are able
linguists and their repertoire in¬
cludes songs in French, Italian,
African, Spanish, Haitian, Japan¬
ese, Hawaiian, Paraguayan, Por¬
tuguese, Yiddish, and English.
At the time Bud Dashiell and
Travis Edmonson decided to team
up, Bud was playing at the Purple
Onion, a San Francisco night club,
while Travis was a featured enter¬
tainer at the hungry i, a nearby
night spot.
BOTH THESE young musicians
are U.S. Army veterans, and have
traveled extensively. After the
service, Dashiell attended the Los
Angeles Art Center, while Edmon¬
son attended the University of
Arizona where he was an anthro¬
pology major.
The talented duo will only ap¬
pear in concert at three other
Southern California college cam¬
puses: UCLA, Pepperdine, and
San Fernando State.
CIRCLE
К
is currently selling
tickets for the concert at $1.50
with an ASB book and $2.50 for
the general public. Tickets may
be obtained at the College Bank,
Duford-Kaiser Music, Ward Bowl¬
ing Music Co., and Johnson Music
Co. in Monrovia.
With Bud and Travis on the
program will be Dos Flamencos,
Spanish guitarists. This group’s
background is similar to that of
Bud and Travis in that James
Fawcett and Martin Walker met
while each was playing in a dif¬
ferent Spanish night club.
This duo plays flamenco guitar
in the old tradition. Blended with
the ancient traditions of flamenco
are the inimitable styles of the
two men.
On October 11, in accordance
with the growing interest in our
universe, the PCC Tuesday Eve¬
ning Forum will feature Dr. Jesse
L. Greenstein’s “The Birth and
Death of the Sun” in Sexson Au¬
ditorium.
He will describe the composi¬
tion of our galaxy at the time
and place where such typical
stars as our sun are born, and
where they die.
Dr. Greenstein is professor of
astrophysics at the California In¬
stitute of Technology and is a
Dr. Jesse Greenstein
... to address forum
staff member of both Mt. Wilson
and Palomar Observatories. Be¬
ing among the top-ranking men
in his field, Dr. Greenstein is well-
qualified to present his topic to
interested persons.
The forum serves a dual pur¬
pose. First, it is a college course
which can be taken for credit.
Second, it is a series of lectures
which the public can attend for
the nominal price of a season
ticket.
The forum functions as a part
of the extended day program at
PCC. It is under the immediate
direction of Ralph Hallman, chair¬
man of the Social Science Depart¬
ment.
