Future Seen
In Thursday
By LORRAINE KESNER
Staff Writer, Newt-Review
The young Frank Sinatras, Dan
ny Kayet and Katherine Cornells
of tomorrow may well have made
their appearance on the stage of
the Junior High School Auditorium
Thursday night, as the Cascade
Players of Eugene brought their
"Variety Revue" to a highly pleas
ed audience.
It is interesting to mte how se
rious the young people were in
presenting their fun. They gave
the audience the feeling of doing
a labor of love, and even the light
er moments reflected the deadly
seriousness of their intent to be
come stars.
In a well-knit show, the song-ami-dance
men, the comedians and
the dancers presented a review of
variety acts that ranged from the
ridiculous to the sublime.' In the
ridiculous category falls the take
oH on "Death of A Salesman," in
the guise of Winston Rust's red
headed, light-fingered "Willie the
Was.p' and his Kallikak family. In
the sublime falls a dramatic
"Dance of Sacrifice" staged by
Choreographer Gloria Lee.
Somewhere between the two
falls the easy-going excellence of
Emcee Mark Tapscott, who car
ried the show's continuity but did
not intrude upon its excellence
with the inane remarks in the gen
erally accepted manner of emcees.
Show Dtcor Unique
The show was presented in a
unique manner, with tables placed
about the floor in semblance of a
supper club. Popcorn and soft
drinks were sold and dancing in
the center of the floor by the
"diners" broke the ice at the be
ginning of the evening. After an
initial shyness, the audience got
into the spirit of things, then sat
back and relaxed to watch the
floorshow.
The names that appeared on the
highly varied show may well be
come familiar as these kids gain
stature and experience. Names
like Katy Taylor, song stylist; a
young lady with a great deal of
poise, who has made some TV
appearances and has recently
made a dual recording. L o a n n
Morgan, who did an original read
ing, "Someday," took her audience
by surprise with the excellence of
her presentation. Small and
blonde, Miss Morgan has a voice
ever which she has real mastery.
A "natural" also is Don Finley,
who entertained as the dead-pan
magician, and who made brief
appearances throughout the eve
ning. Finley loves to be onstage.
And the audience approved.
Audrey Mistretta. Miss Oregon
of 1952, was billed as the star of
the revue, and offered two solo
selections; "Since I Fell For You,"
and "Love For Sale." Her phras
ing was good and the small audi
torum made her songs even more
intimate. She has a throaty, husky
voice, which comes across nicely.
Former Experience
A brief word might be said
about Tapscott, who has made an
other appearance in Roseburg,
when he played Don Gresham in
"The Moon Is Blue."
Tapscott has had previous ex
perience in real supper clubs, and
is completely at ease with his au
dience. He plays a fine trumpet
and offered something unusual in
his trumpet-accordion arrange
ment of "Dark Eyes." He is at
tending the university, studying

Air Force Buys
Tanker Planes
By VERN HAUCLANO
WASHINGTON An Air
Force-order for its first jet tanker
planes gave a boost Friday to the
aircraft designed and built to be
this nation s iirst jet airuuer.
Secretary of the Air Force Tal
bott announced late Thursday that
the Air Force has decided to buy
"a limited number" of Boeing jet
tankers with which to refuel, in
flight, America's big jet bombers.
Talbott said the tankers will be
an advanced version of the Boeing
707 four-jet transport which made
its maiden flight July 15.
Boeing Airplane Co., Seattle,
gambled 15 million dollars in the
development of the 707, on the
possibility that (1) the Air Force
would buy it as a tanker, and (2)
the airlines would buy it for swift
and smooth passenger transport.
Airline executives have been
watching the Boeing project close
ly since the Seattle firm an
nounced, four years ago, that it
was going ahead without govern
ment backing to develop jet trans
portation. At that time the company de
clared that domination of world
aircraft markets was threatened
by the lead of British and Cana
din jet and turbo-prop aircraft,
and that U. S. airlines might be
forced to operate foreign equip
ment. With the assurance of at least
some military sales, Boeing may
now be expected to proceed with
an aggressive selling program di
rected at the major airlines.
