FOR INAUGURAL
Off to an exceptionally popu
lar start, the new Medford Ice
Arena at the end of South Holly
street today faced two more days
of its four-day inaugural celebra
tion before any one of the man
agement can stop for breath. '
Since opening of the big arena
Saturday, the place has been
jammed by skaters and spec
tators and yet the largest crowd
is expected tomorrow when all
of southern Oregon will be enter
tained here by the American Le
gion's observance of Armistice
Day. The parking space at the
arena, thought to be ample be
fore the doors were opened to
the public for the first time Sat- j
urday, has proved entirely in-1
adequate and autos have been
left in every available space for
blocks around. j
Saturday night there was such
a Jam that persons trying to get '
in formed a line blocks long. I
Finally the big side doors, in- i
tended for exits, had to be
thrown open to let the crowd In.
Once skaters and spectators got
inside, however, they found am
ple room for the arena will seat
2,000 persons comfortably and '
the rink itself is 185 feet long
and 85 feet wide.
A special floor show by cham-:
pion amateur skaters from the
Seattle Figure Skating club is
being given each night of the
four-day inaugural celebration.
The show will be given once to
night, about 9 o'clock, and twice
tomorrow night during the two
skating sessions which will run
from 7:30 to 9:30 and 10 to mid
night. The floor show proved a big
attraction at the first two eve
nings of the opening celebration.
Sebastian Apollo was organist
last night for the floor show, as
well as for the general skating. !
Lael Peters, 11-year-old star of
the Seattle club, was given an
ovation for her grace and skill j
as she demonstrated some of the
feats that brought her the west
ern states Juvenile championship ,
at Colorado Springs last winter.
Dainty and petite, the little girl
looked like something from
fairyland as she performed on
the huge rink.
Dorothy and Ralph Beymer,
northwest senior pair champions,
gave an exhibition of beautiful
rhythmic motion as they present
ed two dance numbers on skates.
This handsome young couple re
ceived runner-up honors in the
national championships at Bos
tor, last year.
A pair of youths from the Se
attle club, Kenny Spence and
Bobby Morrie, presented two
comedy acts that put the crowd
Into an hilarious mood and
brought them thunderous ap
plause. Sparky Bourque, manager and
professional at the arena, pre
sented a fancy number that illus
trated the skill and agility that
took him to MGM in Hollywood
in 1937 to do a skating short,
this venture into motion pictures
changing him from an amateur
of the Seattle club to a profes
sional. He held several records
with the club.
One skater, who wished to re
main unidentified, suffered a
wrist injury yesterday. It was
the sole mishap In two days of
crowded skating.
PIANISTS IN CRASH
Tacoma, Nov. 10 W Mario
Braggiotti, 36. and Jacques Fray,
38, nationally known piano
team, escaped with minor in
juries after an automobile acci
dent on the Roy-McKenna high
way last night, the state patrol
reported today. The patrol said
the automobile, driven by Brag
giotti, failed to negotiate a
curve, went off the highway
and overturned.
