Page 14, PHOENIX, June 13, 1974 Everyone Pitches In toGive BAM a New Look!n an effort to give the Brooklyn Academy of Music more visibility in the community, Academy personnel have joined local civic and development groups to formulate a program designed to improve and make more attractive the environs of the Academy.With both ambitious long-range and immediate emergency plans on the agenda, representatives from the Brooklyn Academy of Music (BAM) staff and trustees assembled with environmentalists from the Triangle Parks Committee to unite on up-grading the stretch of Flatbush Avenue fronted by the Academy%u2019s building and two parking lots now under its management in the Atlantic Avenue Terminal crossroads.Taking it a step at a time, the first project will be to clean and repaint the BAM Parking Lot signs. Evelyn Ortner and Lucy Grossman are chairpersons organizing volunteers for a Saturday morning paint-in for both the signs and attendant%u2019s shack.Bob Votava, of the Office for Downtown Brooklyn Development, and Bruce Graham of Triangle Parks will head a committee set to landscape the existing parking lot at Lafayette and Flatbush Avenues as well as the new BAM lot at Atlantic Avenue. Design plans for plantings and the required fund-raising will be announced shortly.Don Moore and his associates at the Downtown Brooklyn Development Assn, will head a basic clean-up committee which will continue efforts throughout the year to coordinate Sanitation Department, BAM personnel and *hepublic on keeping these highly visible areas clean. The Park Slope/Prospect Heights Tree Corps will take on the care of BAM%u2019s trees during July and August with a follow-up program.These plans are a small step toward communicating the BAM program to everyone using Flatbush Avenue by means of dramatic design for signs, banners and marquees. Don Elliott, a BAM trustee and former City Planning Commissioner, will be working with Moore, Votava and BAM staffers for finding and building the most attractive visuals possible to let everyone know %u201cwhat%u2019s playing tonight%u201d and throughout the year.Promotion of the Academy will bean integral part of Richard Rosan%u2019s master Flatbush Avenue Development Plan now in work with his Office of Downtown Brooklyn Development. As Long Island University continues its expansion program, Baruch College moves to Flatbush Avenue, and with talk of sports arenas, hotels, restaurants and cabarets reaching the drawing board, the Brooklyn Academy truly can become a corner stone on this boulevard of Cultural, educational and pleasure palaces.BAM staff members joined in the coalition are Robert Lusier, Director of Operations; Leon Van Dyke, Director of Development; and Charles Ziff, Director of Promotion and Audience Development.Old England ComesTo Heights FestivalA little of Elizabethan and Victorian England comes to Brooklyn Heights in two programs to be premiered at Grace Church on Sundays, June 16 and 30 at 8 p.m. The programs, devised and directed by Tim Hughes, a Heights resident and former associate director of the Ipswich Theatre in England, are a part of the continuing Brooklyn Heights Summer Festival. The Festival features a series of music, dramatic and film programs at both Grace Church and the First Presbyterian Chuch.Hughes compiled the programs from material contemporary with the period portrayed; every word or note comes from that time, as popular songs poetry, drama, documentary accounts or diaries.D%u00abD*'T frtT To THIS *T h fN VISIT A \\ l i . %u00a3 O U V L A K l1*47 AXowTRG-ug, St.t k * < st j ^ A . .The very famous restaurant in Brooklyn.In 1879 Brooklyn was a separate city and we began a New York dining tradition The distinction of the food, the unhurried service and the elegant atmosphere attracted patrons from far and wide Now we are a Landmark, a nostalgic example of a golden era in New York's history.
