Adam son at the piano, offered two numbers from earlier operettas, "My Hero," from Oscar Strauss' "Chocolate Soldier," and "When You're Away," from "The Only Girl,' written by Victor Herbert. These were followed by songs from more recent musical com edies. 'One Kiss," from Rom berg's "New Moon." and Noel 'Coward's ever-popular "I'll See , You Again.' from "Bittersweet." The closing group of numbers was presented by Roosevelt Mothers' chorus, directed by Mrs. Frohnmayer, with Mrs. Richard Payne accompanying.

Rogue River PI A Show Plays to Full House At School Wednesday Rogue River The talent show sponsored Wednesday evening by Rogue River Parent-Teacher association played to a full house and ticket holders who arrived late found standing room only. Though chairs from three class rooms were brought in, there were not enough seats. The circus theme was cleverly carried out with the peanuts and popcorn and its haunting aroma while the elephant, clowns ana other performers wandered through the crowd giving a true circus atmosphere. Twenty-one acts, the brass band and the clowns with their trick bouquets made by Lu Young combined into a circus length program and Manager McGarvie wisely prohibited en cores. Only an accurate applause meter could have told which number was the most popular with the audience. Acts of the professional and local talent from the youngest midget in the rhythm band to jig dancer, George Irwin, age 76, were equally appreciated.

April 17, 1930 MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE THREE Rogue River Gardeners Plan Meeting Tuesday; Visit Historic Garden Rogue River Next regular meeting of the Rogue River Gar den club will be held Tuesday, April 18 at the Live Oak Qrange hall. During the garden tour meeting at the country home of Mrs. Margie Dunham last Wed nesday, members voted to meet on the third Tuesday of each month. The horticulture report was given during the tour of the fa mous flower gardens on the his toric Savage ranch. The old home and its garden started years ago by pioneer members of the Savage family is situated on a small knoll. Through the years the flowers have spread and the gardens now surround the pic turesque old house and its flank ing log cabins. Scattered about, partially buried in the rich red soil, many rough boulders have been lct in their natural posi tions and flowers of all colors and varieties have crept around and among these weathered stones. Green mountain slopes sweep down to the knoll on all sides except that bound by the rushing creek, and seem to beck on the wandering flowers to stray away from the old gardens. A short business meeting was held after the tour, then bever ages were served -by the host esses, Mrs. Dunham and Mrs. Savage. CALENDAR Monday 6:30 p. m.
