ALLIANCE THEATRE COMPANY Alliance Theatre Kicks Off Season with 'The Last Meeting of the Knights of the White Magnolia' On January 15, the Alliance Theatre begins its 1976 season at the Atlanta Memorial Arts Center with a fantastically funny and completely new work—The Meeting of the Knights of the White Magnolia. The production is made possible through the American Play­ wrights Theatre, an organization that promotes the production of new plays by regional member theatres before the rights become tied up for years on Broadway. The Last Meeting of the Knights of the White Magnolia has been scheduled to open on Broadway this spring and will be presented in at least fifteen theatres across the country this year. It has already played to Dallas audiences in addition to a tremendously acclaimed run at Washing­ ton D. C.’s Arena Stage. In White Magnolia, Preston Jones, a significant new voice in the American theatre, and the play’s author, looks at the raucous, discombobulated meeting of a fraternal lodge and its remaining seven members. The play, part of a trilogy about life and mores in a small Texas town, deals with these seven deadbeats as they try ineffectually to carry on a faded tradition of white sheets and blazing crosses (they found the KKK too liberal). Devoted to domino playing, drinking and reminiscing the “good of times” during their meetings, the fiction of a brotherhood is frittered f/ott r 6e.it fure away—the eventual break-up of the group is a moving experience. The characters are O a so well developed that one can imagine their lives extending beyond their shabby y aianwwL meeting room. Things may have been mis­ guided and silly in the lodge hall but that was better than empty, leaving a group of small people to face their small lives. The playwright has not created characters, but authentic people, laughable for all their Tiffany&Co.

Mr. Lem Motlow put this slogan on jugs and crocks of his uncle’s whiskey. You see, he knew that no other whiskey was made with pure, iron-free water. And that other distiller mellowed his product through hard maple charcoal before aging. Mr. Motlow knew value when he saw it. And still today, though Jack Daniel’s is priced above most whiskeys, a sip will prove its worth.

According to the co-chairmen of the Presidential Section of the Individual INSURANCE Gifts Campaign, Mrs. William H. Izlarand FINANCIAL SERVICES Mrs. Dan M. Mackey, the Campaign is absolutely critical to help maintain a balanced budget for the Atlanta Sym­ phony. The Symphony’s annual budget is in excess of $ 2 million, and ticket sales account for only 48 per cent of that figure. The balance is made up through public and private support—of which the Individual Gifts Campaign is a vital part.
