PAGE 2-PLAINDEALER-WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 1973 Feature Niki Flacks Open Special 8-Week Arts Program Feb. 26 Niki Flacks, Broadway and television actress, has been chosen visiting artist for a special eight-week performing arts program sponsored by the Woodstock Fine Arts association, the Illinois Arts council, the Sears-Roebuck foundation and the National Endowment for the Arts. "Hello Niki Week," Feb. 26 to March 3, will highlight her arrival in Woodstock, the base of her operations. "These seven days of press conferences, receptions, din­ ners and meetings with McHenry county and northern Illinois civic, social and business leaders will preview her future appearances throughout the area," said Mrs. Alex Sharpe, WFAA president. Miss Flacks' learning and sharing appearances are part of a program presented by Affiliate Artists Inc., a national non-profit organization dedicated to bringing the performing arts to the audience. Visiting Affiliate Artists perform free of charge across the country in classrooms, factories, churches, libraries, nursing homes, shopping centers and club meetings, in addition to theatres and concert halls. When Miss Flacks brings her person-to-person performance lectures or "informances" to Woodstock, it will be the first time, however," that the Af­ filiate Artists program has beeen based in a town without a major college or university. Associated with a New York volunteer musical review group known as Hospital Tours, Niki Flacks has appeared .on television in The Nurses and One Life to Live; on Broadway in "Dinner at Eight," and at Minneapolis' Tyrone Guthrie theatre in "The Way of the World," "The Cherry Or­ chard," "Chalk Circle," and "Six Characters in Search of an Author." She also appeared in plays at the Front Street theater in Memphis, the Long Wharf theater in New Haven, Conn., and at the Arena stage in Washington. Her three seasons of summer stock include performances opposite Richard Chamberlain in "West Side Story," and opposite Leonard Nimoy in "Fiddler on the Roof." Miss Flacks also has ap­ peared in Frank Perry's film "Miriam," and in several television commercials.

In the unlikely event that anybody ever said, "Let them eat crumpets?" who cares? But let one word be uttered in French and the recipe is heard 'round the world. French food has everybody bamboozled, except - of course - the French. It's really not the food that has us fooled. It's the language. La Cuisine Francaise sounds so impressive, we're afraid to ask what got dumped into the pot au feu. In some of those delightful little French restaurants where they take the car as down payment on dinner, six Mexican wetbacks may be cooking up the <Lipton's onion soup back in the kitchen. A mere American, fighting back in English, hasn't a chance if he's brave enough to challenge the maitre d'. It's easy to speak right up to the steward, butler or headwaiter, but nobody talks back to the maitre d'. You just blame yourself if the food tastes like poison instead of poisson. Way back somewhere, at whatever tower it was where languages got handed out, it was the chef who grabbed French and ran off to the kit­ chen. For example, take the Cinderella of English soups - the lowly potato soup. You couldn't excite a half-starving peasant with it. But chill it, cream it, crouton it, and call it "vichyssoise" and it swirls down the throats of kings. Is it possible that anybody in his or her right mind went around snatching snails from their shells until they became escargot? An English pot roast just lies there dead in the pan but boeuf en daube starts the gastric juices bubbling. Tenderloin at $4 a pound will never compare to Chateaubriand at $8. Who would eat beef stew when they could be eating boeuf bourguignon, or chicken in aspic when they could have poulet engelee? The barbaric English set things on fire, but the elegant French flambee. This culinary soft sell comes in handy in getting rid of some things more squeamish Americans won't eat in their own language. A lot of people aren't too big on brains, or kidneys or calf's sweetbreads. They create a few butterflies (which also may be delicious in French) but when they are called cervelles, rognons and ris de veau, they go down much easier. Little flaming pancakes dipped in licquer and orange juice made their way to the top of the menu on their name only - crepe suzettes. Even chocolate souffle sounds better as souffle au chocolat. But before your inferiority complex dulls your taste buds, it wasn't always like that in the culinary kitchen of the world. At one time, the French language was a tool of the devil, aiding and abetting robbers, thieves and worse. During the Middle Ages, cannibalism was rampant in certain parts of France. The weak were afraid to walk the streets. Shopkeepers sold human flesh disguised as boeuf and other strange sounding names. Tough, sick old peddler would never make it on an English menu, but "Peddleur Souffle Au Flambee" might be magnificent - especially with a good French wine of proven vintage. Wives and widows going to school under VA's Dependents' Educational Assistance Program now can take on-the- job training, attend institutions of higher learning in foreign countries, and take correspondence and high school courses at VA expense.
