Viola Virtuoso to Perform in Chappaqua CHAPPAQUA—
The School of Saints John and Mary will hold a concert in the school hall at 4 p.m. on Sunday May 27, for the benefit of the building fund. The concert will be given by the Brooklyn String Orchestra, Miss Lily Nyboe, conducting. Featured will be soloist Alix Young Maruchess, viola and viola d'amore virtuoso.
Miss Maruchess was born in Edinburgh, Scotland. She has studied in Prague under the celebrated Ottaker Sevcik. Her work given by the Brooklyn String was later continued under Mi chel P r e s s a n d and Leopold Auer ' Discovering a particularly fine
viola d'amore, Miss Maruchess became deeply interested in its beauty, of tonal coloring and its possibilities as a solo instrument. The artist chose as a contrasting companion instrument the lovely deep-toned viola.
Recitals on the viola d'amore had practically ceased until Miss Maruchess brought it back to the concert platform. The music world hailed this return of the 18th century favorite, and the public demand for recitals on these two beautiful instruments increased rapidly.
In using the viola d'amore, with its seven bowed strings and its seven "sympathetic" s t r i n g s (which are threaded through the bridge and vibrate in unison), she has succeeded in enriching the musical experiences of the present day by reviving some of the loveliest music of the 18th and 19th centuries.
The Brooklyn String Orchestra, organized in 1941 with eight players, has grown over the years
ALIX YOUNG MARUCHESS
to its present membership of 40. Known as the Plymouth String Orchestra in its early years, the growing group changed its name during World War II to the Brooklyn String Orchestra. In the last 18 years since its first public concert in 1944, it has given several concerts each year.
This outstanding orchestra is an amateur one and its members participate for the joy of playing together the finest classical and modern music. Although they
strive for technical perfection, their primary goal is sharing their music with others.
They have recently appeared at Fox Lane School for the benefit of the Northern Westchester School for Retarded Children; in Putnam, for the Brewster Cancer Fund; and in Lake Mahopac School for the Lake Mahopac School Parent-Teaeher Association.
Among the players are several northern Westchester residents.
Shows for Children Slated at Playhouse MOUNT KISCO—
"Theater, for children should be as" important, or more important than adult theatre," says Roberta Sklar, the .Mount Kisco Playhouse children's theatre director.
To supplement its e v e n i n g adult summer stock series, the Mount Kisco Playhouse will present a pi-ay for children every Tuesday morning at 10:30, from July 10 through Sept. 9.
Miss Sklar was chosen from 30 applicants to become the first scholarship children's theatre director at the playhouse. A similar scholarship will be offered yearly by the playhouse, to help train talented young directors in the field of children's theatre.
Miss Sklar insists that children's theatre be approached by professional competence, and her background in this respect includes many summers spent in stock companies throughout the country. She has also studied directing under Stuart Vaughn and acting both with Irene Dailey and Uta Hagen. A graduate of Hunter College, Miss Sklar has recently directed a successful program on Brecht for the Hunter Playhouse in New York City, and has a great deal of experience directing small plays for off-Broadway coffee house entertain ment.
Miss Sklar will open the chil
dren's play series with "I Wisn I May," a delightful fantasyT'and classic children's piay„ because it' was the first musical .written especially for professional children's theatre. .Also in.the summer series for children are "Upside Down Stories" one hour of improvisation theatre—an avante-g u a r d e participation show for children, a Comedie Francais style, "Punch and Judy," -Miss Sklars adaptation of "Don Quixote" "Singing G u i t a r , " and "Tom Sawyer."
A music enthuiast, she had a Fred Waring Workshop Scholarship, Miss Sklar has been a children's folk singer, which she says was an invaluable experience.
'Music used this summer in various plays will be "utilized to perpetuate ideas rather 'than strictly for sound or change of pace," says Miss Sklar.
Miss Sklar says' that her most rewarding and educational experience with children was when she lived with an Arabic family for three years. The children, sons and daughters of the Iraqi consulate in New York City, Miss Sklar observed, were extraordi-narly creative, and had acted as Medea's children in Istanbul and the "no-neck-monsters" in "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof,'' at the Lake Sunapee Playouse, one summer.

A message from the Treasury of a free people
How to put your name on a Freedom Document Most of us have deep beliefs in the things America stands for . . . the freedoms that 56 men signed into existence 186 years ago at Independence Hall.
Those old-timers didn't have an exclusive on endors-. ing freedom, however. You can still put your name on a freedom document by buying U.S. Savings Bonds.
The money you put into Savings Bonds helps build Uncle Sam's financial strength, an important asset in furthering the causes of freedom wherever men want to be free on this globe of ours.
This money also helps build your own financial strength. And frankly, the more living comfort you have, the higher your living standard, the better you demonstrate one of the advantages of being a free people.
Tens of millions of American families use U.S. Savings Bonds as a way to save for the future and help their country now. How -about adding your family to the roster?
Keep freedom in your future with
