"Cardiologists tell their heart patients to run," he said, "and now you see au these people running and they're doing it because somebody told them to. They're ending up at the orthopedic surgeon's with strained tendons and sore knees. "Something ls wrong. And the lesson is, if you're doing it because somebody told you to, you're missing the mark."

Brenner, author of "Health is a Question of Balance," told students that good diet, exercise and a strong faith system are the factors affecting health. The first two depend a great deal on the third. "The people who live the longest are those with strong goals, the ones who at 100 years old wake up every morning and climb a moun- tain. They believe in them- selves. 1 think those who respond to diet and exercise are the ones who have faith in themselves."

COURT NOTES

A good year for locals and getting better By BEN PRESS

Continued&om 10th Page m the theater is an illusion, and that only fantasy and motion really eXISt on stage. ln 1919'. Wenger_ noticed light upon a mosquito netting and 1:0n~1ved the idea of usmg theal.rical gauze to soften the ngidity of traditional sets. Seen through gauze colors and forms flowed lyrically across the stage. The r~lation- sh1p between movement, light, and solid form became mysticaland t.ransient. In 1928, -yvenger invented the first movable scenery which toda~ s audiences take for granted. His 60 sets for Hammerstem's "Good Boy" moved on floor tracks or revolved on stage. Moving sets complemented motions of ac~ors and musical rhythms, totally fullilling Wenger's VIS!On. - Apart from our appreciation of Wenger's conl.ributions to the theater, there JS much direct enjoyment to be derived from the display of his paintings in the gallery. The students of the USD "Exhibit Design" class under the direction of Prof. Therese Whitcomb, have ~ught a measure of theamcal whimsey to the show. "We have a football plar,er and an accountant _in our class," says Ms. Whitcomb, and some of the most 1maginative ideas come from our non-art maJQrs." The students have boxed m the gallery space in a maze of pmk-and-white room dividers and vertical panels of gauze. It JS easy to feel the bright mystical aura one might have experienced at a performance withWenger scenery. 1n a variety of works, Wenger has borrowed ,from v1r ually every modern art style, always modified with the composer or .Playwright's ideas, and his own visual concepts, m mmd. . German Expressionist free, vigorous brushstrokes 0 in Juxtapos1lton With bright, transparent washes of color are seen mnearly all of the paintings. • Both ,!fammerstein's "Good Boy" and the "Golden Rooster. presented at the Roxy Theatre in 1931, included R_ussran scenes. Wenger draws on personal symbols from hJS native Russia and from =ges used by his countryman, pamter Ma~<: Village chickens float with angels above holy mtenors m a surrealistic dream vision. Colors and Imes fly around so busily that spatial illusion JS destroyed and the rushed, ,whirhng sensation at the dream's end tS evoked. . Wenger used e?1'1Y FauVist surface of color and pattern m his Portal curtain for New York City's Capitol Theatre in 1924 Short staccato strokes of pure orange and green jom to create an airless fantasy world of Lilliputian figures among giant leaves. castle towers, and a pond of swirling reflections. Borrowmg from Cubism's collage effect Wenger sha ters space m his design for the portal curtain°to be seen dunng a concert of George Gershwin's '"Rhapsody in Blue" of 1925. The surface 1s divided into six planes, tilted at angles and each contammg familiar asp{!cts of life in New York City.

The designer was influenced by classical art as well. !. Remussancc landscape appears m the set for the Garden of Eden" and clements of Michelangelo's "Last

Judgment" are discernible in a triptych painted for Richard Strauss' "Death and Transfiguration." A number _of Wenger's works arc painted as triptychs. The central image ~Y contains recognizable figures and ob1ects. Express1orust1c, abstract side panels are designs for painted gauze curtains (scrim) to be drawn over the central scene. With the deaths of Ziegfeld and the Gershwins, Wenger return~ to his career as a painter. His work has been seen m exhibits at ma)Or museums nationwide. The USD show was obtained through the artist's widow after his death in 1977. It is a fitting tribute to the man whose innovations 1:0ntmued to enhance Amencan theater long after the lights went down on his lavish, imaginative designs.
