THE CINCINNATI ENQUIRER Thursday, March 18, 1965 Page 14 Critic Interviews Strolling Czech Pianist Ivan Moravec Miiht Clubs to he rolled his "R's" like they were trills In the first movement of the Brahms Minor Piano Concerto." He has concerted extensively and this is his third trip to our shores, he told me. In Prague, his wife, Susanna, and their 10-year-old daughter Iva play piano duets in the comfortable Moravec apartment while Daniel (12) prefers (his strolled through Piazza della Fonte (Fountain Square). (The rain had stopped and a very Spring-like sun was shining beningly down on winter-weary Cinclnnatians.) Of course I didn't mind. I have interviewed impresarios in swimming pools and composers in tennis courts. Mr.

Moravec turned out to be a very genial and well-informed man whose English was a pleasure to listen Stage Screen OIOFTHE SIP LIVJUVJ of the Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo and Ivan Allen, Metropolitan Opera Company, will appear as guest artists in the Cincinnati Civic Ballet Spring Concert, Sunday, March 28 at 3 p. m. In UC's Wilson Auditorium. Miss Karina and Allen will perform "The Combat," famous contemporary ballet choreographed by Wm. Dollar.

This ballet has received world-wide acclaim as a masterpiece. Karina and Allen danced "The Combat," throughout the United States, while touring with the Andre Eglevsky Ballet.

But you know that no Nazi secret agent ever wins a cinematic war, or even a cinematic intrigue. But how Major Pike (in spite of issues of THE STARS AND STRIPES dated May, 1950, and baseball games by "inmates" on the hospital lawn) discovers the nefarious plot is too exciting to reveal here.

(Alto Downtown In Ktith'i lobby! father says) almost anything to music. "Classical music bores him, he insists!" said the pianist pensively. "But then, teenagers outgrow these dislikes, you know." I told Mr. Moravec that I was pleased that he had included one of my favorites the Franck "Symphonic Variations" on his Cincinnati program. He was surprised to hear that the work was rarely performed by pianists here.

We chatted about piano literature for another ten minutes while the visiting artist admired "The Spirit of the Waters" particularly "Turtle Joe." I told Mr. Moravec that the huge fountain was cast In a Munich foundry and this seemed to fascinate him. "A beautiful city, Cincinnati!" exclaimed the pianist, and he waved one hand in the direction of Mt. Adams. "You need only a fine castle like our Hradcany Castle to adorn your highest hill and you would be a sort of Prague of the Midwest." I didn't have the heart to tell Mr.

Moravec the sad story of the Decline of Our Incline and how Urban Destroyal and huge freeways had gobbled up more than two-thirds of the beautiful old Cincinnati of Laf-cadio Hearn and Frank Du-veneck and those glorious summer days on the old riverfront. Alhcc Thriller "36 at the RKO-Albee, is a better-than-aver-age espionage thriller. Using a new twist in the poisonous pretzel of tricky Nazi treachery, the film has the Hitlerites drugging and kidnapping an American officer (James Garner) Just prior to D-Day. When he conks out he is near a Lisbon cafe. When he regains consciousness he is (or thinks he is) in an American military hospital FIVE YEARS after the end of the war.

Of course, he is surrounded by Germans who speak perfect English even American slang; by this elaborate (and one would think, very expensive) ruse, the Nazis hope to "pump" Major Pike. The brainy Mephisto behind this fantastic deception is Nazi Major Walter Gerber (Rod Taylor); and working closely with Herr Gerber is Nurse Anna Hedler (Eva Marie Saint).
