MEDFORD MATT, TRIBUNE. MEDFOTtD. OREGON. FRIDAY. AUGUST 5, 1938. PAGE THREE LARGEST AUDIENCE WILL SEEJAIiET Record First Night Attend ance at Shakespearean Festival Is Assured Curtain to Rise at 8:30 When the curtain rises on Hamlet at the Elizabethan theater la Ash land tonight there will be present the largest audience to attend an -opening performance in the tour years of the Oregon Shakespearean Festival. The advance ticket sale for the premiere has been larger than for any opening show since the festival was Inaugurated four years ago, the man agement announced. . Nevertheless seats are still available In the big open-air playhouse and tickets may be procured at the box-office tonight. To clarify some confusion that seems to exist, the management em phasized today that It la not neces sary to be a sponsoring member to attend the plays. Anyone may attend , any of the eight productions simply by buying a ticket. Tickets tor Indi vidual performances may be pur chased here at Prultt's Muelc and Radio Center, 111 West Main street, or at the theater the night of .the play. Drama Editor Here That the Importance of the festival has spread beyond the confines of southern Oregon was evidenced again today with the arrival of Harold Hunt, drama editor of the Oregon Journal who arrived by plane from Portland to report tonight and to morrow night's plays for his news paper. A United Malnllner made a special stop at Medford municipal airport this forenoon to discharge Mr. Hunt. He was met at the airport by Miss Doreen Leverette, Medford stu dent at the Cornish school of drama In Seattle who is taking part in this year's series of plays. . Mr. Hunt left for Ashland this afternoon to Inspect .the Elizabethan theater, fashioned after the Globe theatre of Shakespeare's time, and to Interview Angus L. Bowmer, festival director and head of the drama de partment of the Southern Oregon Normal school. As further evidence of the national fame attained by the festival, Holly wooa taient scouts are expected to be Inconspicuous but observant mem bers of the audience at several of the plays. To get to the Elizabethan theater from here one turns right at the First National bank in Ashland and pro ceeds a short distance up Pioneer street. There Is smple car parking space In the vicinity.

Speaks at Baptist Church Educa tional Evil Held Growing Speaking beforu t. large audience In the Baptist church last ntght, Dr Dan Gilbert or Son Diego. Cal. and Washington, D. O., general secretory of the World's Christian Fundamen tals association, presented startling facta and evidence showing the ex istence of a definite program for communlzlng American youth through certain educational systems. Dr. Gilbert, speaking here through the sponsorship of the Oregon Chris tian Fundamentals association and the Truth for Students movement, told his audience that testimony presented before the house of re pre sentatlvea sub-committee of lie 19S0 congress demonstrated that a- group of communistic professors, centered largely In Columbia university, feave set out to soviet Ire America through the control and dominance of state schools throughout the country. He dldnt condemn all schools and all teachings, but stated positively that la many of our colleges and uni versities, and even In tiigh schools, subversive education was faqt. He warned that unless an alert citizenry and group of teachers were ready to fight against such radical tendencies In so-called "progressive' education, such a situation was possible right here in Medford. In a clear and pre cise manner, he presented the evils of that which are growing In many schools throughout the nation. Dr. Gilbert also cited numerous textbooks now in uso in schools In which communistic, fascist and un moral doctrines are taught. He calted attention to the manner In whldi such doctrines are contributing heav ily to the crime wave. "I feel that education In general In the United States la deficient be cause It leaves out moral and spirit ual teachings," Dr. Gilbert said. Under the statute espoused by the World's Christian Fundamental as sociation, all teachers upholding such doctrines wolud be ousted from their positions. Dr. Gilbert told his audi ence. The campaign of the associa tion, being carried out under his di rection, contemplates an active fight In every state In the union for legis lating against the teaching of athe ism, communism, fascism and other antl-CiirlBtlan, doctrines In tax-sup ported schools. s Dr. Gilbert left Medford this morn ing for Roseburg. where he will speak on the same subject tonight.
