TAMING OF SHREW
PLAY FESTIVAL
By Roy Craft
With "Taming of the Shrew" as
the opening vehicle, the Oregon
Shakespearean Festival opened last
night before a crowd of over 700 in
Ashland's outdoor theatre.
On an original Elizabethan stage.
Director Angus Bowmer and hie com
pany of talented young artists pre
sented one of Shakespeare's most
popular comedies Just as the Bard of
Avon wrote It, In the original man
ner with a minimum of stage effects
and propertlea and without a pause
between scenes.
The result was a pleasing produc
tion, enlightening to the student of
Shakespeare and good comedy to the
vast majority of people In the au
dience who came to be entertained.
The evening was cool and the atar
budded sky above beautiful Uthla
park formed a perfect backdrop for
the stage on which the brightly cos
tumed players swept through the gay
lines of the play with kaleidoscopic
color and action.
The play Itself was preceded by a
short ceremony In which the Oregon
Shakespearean Festival association,
newly formed sponsoring organization,
made Its public debut.
Frank Van Dyke, Ashland attorney
and president of the Ashland chamber
ol commerce, acted as master of cere
monies and Introduced Judge Earl B.

the new association. Ole Arnspiger,
president of the Jackson County
Chamber of commerce. Charles Fur
nas. Medford's acting mayor, and
Mayor Thornton Wiley of Ashland
were among those who spoke. Tele
grams from Governor Charles H. Mar
tin. Senators McNary and Stelwer and
othera congratulating, the southern
Oregon group were read.
The ceremonies ended. Florenco Hu
bert's ' Waltz Queens," played a short
overture and the curtain rose on the
festival's first production. From the
opening line It became apparent that
the performers were not to be awed
by the classic llnea or frightened by
the tact that they were playing
Shakespeare before a critical audience
They plunged Into their work as If
they enjoyed It and carried the play
along with a light-hearted swing
that won Instant approval of the
crowd.
Roberta Nourse carried the difficult
role of Katharine, the Shrew. As the
hell-cat who la tamed by the lusty
abuse of Petruchlo. played with en
thusiasm by Bob Stedman. she turn
ed In a neat and convincing perform
ance. rmrn lverette was charming aa
the demure Blanca, little sister of
Katharlna who could not be marr.ee
until her elder sister could be tamed
and yoked In matrimony.
William Cottrell. who assists Bow
mer aa director, played with finesse
the role of Baptists, the slightly sen
ile father of the two -glrHI John
Beisacher. as Oremlo. Bychard

Three Parables
Sermon Topic of
Nazarene Pastor
Speaking at the Church of the
Nazarene Sunday morning, Fred M.
Weatherford. pastor-evangelist, used
as his topic "Christ Speaks to Two
Classes." He drew his sermon from
the three parables in the 35th chap
ter of Matt.
"In this chapter Christ virtually
said one thing In three different
ways,'' the pastor declared. "He takes
up three parables to teach the truth.
In each of these he addresses him
self to two classes of people, the wise
and the foolish.
"In His teaching throughout It will
be observed that Christ addressed
himself specifically to two classes of
people. In His sermon on the mount
including the 6th. 6th and 7th chap
ters of Mtat., it will be recalled that
His final appeal erected a division
between the wise and the foolish,
with one class building upon the
rock and the other upon the sand.1
JAPANESE TRYING
E

Government Organ Flays
Wrecking of Consulate at
Tientsin Open Sym
pathy Expressed for China
MOSCOW. Aug. 3 . (AP) The
newspaper Izvestia, official organ of
the Soviet government, today charg
ed Japan as trying "to provoke a
conflict with the" U. S. 8. R. by any
means" In a denunciation of the
wrecking of the Russian consulate at
Tientsin.
The entire Soviet press biased with
Indignation aa Japan rejected a "de
termined" Russian protest against
the raid on the Russian consulate
during the fighting between Chinese
and Japanese for possession of the
city.
Revenge Held Motive
Izvestla declared the attack on
the consulate by White Russians
opposed to the present Soviet regime
was inspired by the "Insolent, cow
ardly action of Japanese militarists"
and charged It was made In revenge
for the failure of frequent attempts
to raid Soviet frontiers.
"The white guard provocateurs
Japanese masters should know their
vile provocations toward the U. S.
R. R. will fall and not remain un
challenged," thundered Pravda, or
gan of the communist party.
The Russian press expressed open
sympathy for China In the conflict
with Japan over the rich north China
provinces of Hopeh and Chahar.
"It la not enough that the Japan
ese army is bombing Chinese cities,
exterminating a peaceful population
and occupying foreign territory,"
Pravda asserted.
Likened to Wolves
"It Is using every occasion to try
to provoke new conflicts. The path
of the Japanese troops is strewn with
bodies. Passing through the burned
Chinese quarters they are strolling

The press also attacked the Japan

the coast of China where the Jap
anese navy may establish a blockade
2, Making avatlrble all Japanei
tonnage for shipments to China.
3. Providing means of transporta
tion for essential commodities in for
eign vessels.
Besides raising 400.000.000 yen
(about $120,000,000) for war pur
poses by icMilng special bonds, the
government decided to acquire sev
eral hundred million more yen by
decreeing a one-year increase In taxes
on national bonds, stock dividends
and corporation profits.

profits accruing from the hostilities
in China to munitions makers, cor
