Bowmer And Company Delight
Audiences With "Street Scene'
Ashland, Feb. 18 The South
ern Oregon college production of
'Street Scene" played for the
last time Saturday night after
showing to three near-capacity
audiences.
Angus L. Bowmer, associate
professor of English at the col
lege, directed his large cast of
nearly 60 persons in a produc
tion that may be called his best
recent dramatic effort outside
the Shakespearean festival.
Capable acting was combined
with handsome stage settings
that should have been seen by
every student of the technical
side of the theater.
Play Story Described
Elmer Rice's Pulitzer prize
play is the story of sordid racial
and sexual tensions in a dumpy
New York tenement district. The
stage mast be peopled with a
couple score of widely varied
and antagonistic characters,
most with strong, aggressive per
sonalities. It is a play to tax the
capabilities of professionals and
the fact that Bowmer has done
such a fine job with amateurs is
quite a tribute to his skill.
Make-up, supervised by Frank
Buchter and Jerry McDougall,
and costumes, handled by Kath
leen Davies, were eminently suc
cessful. In no other way, surely,
could Bowmer have placed such
an aggregation of slovenly and
unattractive people on one stage.
In the acting department Fri
day night, probably the out
standing performances were
those turned in by Mille Vest
and Frank Buchter, for sheer
polish; Keith Hopkins and Tru
bee Bell, for sincerity and depth
of feeling, and by Clare Dan
iels, Katherine Ingle and Tony
Shively for their poise and
smooth stage presence.
Others In Cast
Others who alternately hung
out the windows and lolled on
the steps of the three-story
brownstone tenement house that
Jack Beardslcy built in the
Churchill hall auditorium were
Herbert Shepherd, Virginia Per
ry, Peter Cotton, John Lance,
Keith Krambeal, Tom Chapman,
Barbara Lewis, Barney Bussey,
Phyllis Freeman, Barbara Mes
senger, Mary Jane Farr, Vivian
Stevenson, Kermlt Thomas.
George Bell, Lorna Jager, Fred
Whited, Paul Adams, Dean Kar
re. Bob Hagen, Ted Gordon, Dean
Seegcr. Lee Goorte, Delora Hed
lund, Pat Malone, Kathy Ingle,
Bob Stedman, Lee Goode, Rich
ard Kennston, John Heilbronncr.
Norma Sncll, Diane Morey, Dave
Ring, James Junden, Darrcl
Nicholas, Alice Hardage and a
Mr. Doll.
Properties were handled by
Rudy Vest, lights by Douglas
Doncison and stage manager was
Fred Whited.
Added together, their talents
produced rare, brisk-paced en
tertainment. There were flaws,
of course it was an amateur
production but they were not
damaging. a. i.

Local DAY Protests
Civil Service Change
A protest against the proposed
changes in the United States civil
service rating system, as recom
mended by the Hoover commis
sion for reform of the executive
branch of the government, was
registered this week with the
Oregon congressional delegation
by the Jackson county chapter
of the Disabled American veterans.
The DAV here said there Is
much concern among veterans
both disabled and non-disabled
over the proposed rating system
since thev fear thev may lose
the five and ten point prefer
ences they now enjoy in civil
service appointments by virtue
of the veterans' preference act
of 1944.
The Hoover commission would
eliminate the established point
grading and substitute a four-
category rating: outstanding
well-qualified, qualified, and un-uualified.
Copies of protest letters were
mailed to Congressman Harris
Ellsworth and to Senators Guy
Cordon and Wayne Morse.
