ABOUT THE SHOW - The Critics say . .

“DIVINE DIVAS . . . an exciting show brought to
Australia by the Arts Council of New South Wales,
certainly achieved what it set out to -- to create
an atmosphere of the California Gold Rush Days.
You walked out of the theatre, pistol at hip and

found on horse for the long ride back to camp.”
Macleay Argus, Australia

“DIVAS CAPTIVATES AUDIENCE . . . a delight-
ful mixture of color, tender acting and beautiful
harmony. The jewel-like colors and fabrics of the
ladies’ gowns added considerably to the overall
effect.”

Coonabarabran Times, Australia

For opera lovers, there were the suave charms of

the bel canto style of Rossini and Belline that
opened the show, a lovely duet, ‘‘Giorno
d’Orrore,” from Rossini’s ‘‘Semiramide”’ brilliant-
ly sung by Corinne Swall, who impersonated Miss
Biscaccianti and Donna Petersen, who assumed
the character of Kate Hayes. Miss Swall revealed
a voice of unusual flexibility combined with an
understanding of the delicate style, and Miss Peter-
sen impressed with a voice of uncommon power
and warmth.
The duo showed the catholic range of Gold Rush
Era taste by. interspersing trifles like “Coming
Through the Rye” and Massett’s “‘Sunset Ballad”’
with the more substantial music.
There was pleasure also in the admirable playing
of Monroe Kanouse, impersonating the historic
Loder. Kanouse played with fine musicianship.
But music was: only half the story. There was a
hilarious skit on “Little Red Riding Hood” that
must have sent the 49ers out howling.

Richard Simon, The Sacramento Union

“The Divas’, making their second appearance by
popular demand in the August Moon Concert
Series . . . were a sell-out!”

The Napa Register

“To catch the coy and arch humor of the period
pieces takes professional sense for the style,
and the quartet had it . . . Miss Swall, her color-
atura voice light and mellow and very true . . . as
emcee Malpas was all over the show .. . Miss
Petersen’s singing superbly focused and vital,
Kanouse played the accompaniments more ele-
gantly and sensitively than ever could have been
the case in 1853. The patrons in attendance had a
sample taste of our pioneer’ S music and a feeling
for the fun it arouse

Robert Commanday, San Francisco Chronicle

“The four cast members demonstrate mastery of
a formidable array. of stylistic idioms. Swall,

histrionic finesse, winging with great agility and .

dramatic point. Petersen, strong reserves of
lustrous tone, abundance of charm. Malpas ex-
udes sprightliness. Kanouse, uncommon pianistic
dexterity.

Adroit script, costumes, lighting and stage direc-
tion, apt and resourceful, add to the evening’s ap-
peal.”’

LOIS Segal, Los Angeles Times

“The cast of four, all professionals in the finest
sense of the word, themselves impersonate four

of the finest performers of the West, and indeed

the nation knew.”
Davis Enterprise

This week we have chosen a meal : |
with a little history attached to it. SAC

Pineapple and cucumbers being quite inexpensive
at the moment, and duck being a nice dish to eat,
is a change from meat and chicken, The dessert is

_a nice light one to finish up with,

Cucumber soup is a variation of a Gazpacho,
which is a soup of Spain. The cold soup variations
were the poor pheasants of Spain in the 1840's. It
provided the poor with a cooling midday meal
and the rich with a liquid salad to accompany
other courses, There are some thirty classic vari-
ations of Gazpachos, Cucumber Soup being one
of them.

Roast Duck with Oranges is said to have originat-
ed in the south of France early in the fourteenth
century when Arab traders first introduced citrus
fruits. Brillat-Savarin, a great chef-of France, was
one of the first to introduce this dish.

A souffle was first introduced to the public in
1870 at a restaurant called La Grande-Taverne De
Londres. This restaurant was well known for its
flattery of its patrons. A souffle still to this day
commands the same respect with which it was re-
ceived the first time it was served,

I hope you give each dish a try. They are easy to
prepare and a joy to eat. Bon Appétit.
