At the Hop
The Hopkins Center will be hopping this summer from the Film Society's opening presentation of Romeo and Juliet, the first of 19 films on the ever-beguiling theme of Love, until the last of a series of six films on Pioneers of Modern Painting, written and narrated by Kenneth Clark, closes the season on August 21.
In the weeks between, summer-term students, participants in Alumni College and the Dartmouth Institute, area residents, vacationing and conferring visitors will find available a virtual kaleidoscope of plays, concerts, art exhibits, and films.
"Two Hundred Years of Piano Music" will be explored in solo recitals and chamber concerts by members of Dartmouth's music faculty and visiting artists. The Concord String Quartet will begin a three-year appointment as Quartet-in-Residence with a series of concerts that include the work of both classical and contemporary composers. Martin Best of London's Royal Shakespeare Company and Edward Flower, here to conduct a summer school for troubadours, will also be performing in concert.
The Dartmouth Players Repertory Company will offer three plays - Shakespeare's All's Well That Ends Well, Moliere's The Misanthrope, and George M. Cohan's adaptation of the mystery classic. Seven Keys to Baldpate - during a six-week season starting July 10.
A July evening of ragtime and an August session of electronic music are billed as Friday Night Specials, with more on jazz, country music, and perhaps a filmed opera, to be added to the schedule.
Stanley C. Smoyer '34, right, is the newAlumni Council president. College Sec-retary J. Michael McGean '49 approves.
