Last Saturday night after we had gathered up the usual bread, meat, milk and vegetable as sortment we ran into Mrs. Lewis Ulrich, and It wasn't long be fore we were deep in a conver sation about concerts and plays. Mrs. Ulrich, who misses very little in the way of concerts and plays available in the valley, said she .had enjoyed the last high school play very much, but that she had been somewhat disappointed in some of the Civic Drama festival plays the last two sessions. She had also heard Dorothy Ellison, the Ne gro contralto who sang here a short time ago, and ventured the opinion , that Miss Ellison may turn out to be another Marian Anderson. She thought Miss Ellison "I take my everywhere!" "MY BAMBI is to liny and easy to play. Teacher says it's the finest of all small size lightweight ac cordions."

JACKSON MEDFORD, ORE. MIIMIMIIMIMMIIMi HlPF booktetdMcribinthSU- IVsSb ncAaMTanSoMtow (m CRUCIANELLI y&v bambi model Laccordion n .& i i v msa i should take a tip from Miss An derson in the matter of stage clothes, and pointed out that without exception the highly successful women copcert stars take great care In choosing their clothes for concert and other publie appearances, know ing that appropriate and proper ly fitted clothes help to give them poise. Mrs. Ulrich, who Is something of an authority on the subject of clothing, having been "in the business" for many years In Med ford, said she had always con sidered Mrs. Saidie Orr Dunbar, one of Oregon's outstanding club women, to be one of the most tastefully dressed women among her acquaintances. a Later In the evening the fam ily went to Ashland for the clos ing performance of "Idiot's De-. light," given by Southern Ore gon college as part of the Festi val of Arts. Being merely a spec tator, and knowing little of the tricks of the trade, we never cease to be amazed and delight ed at what a new hair-do. a little grease paint and the ability to portray a stage character can produce. We thought the play excellent, one of the best of the modern plays which Angus Bow mer has directed, and were es pecially interested in the work of Leah Peabody, Medford stu dent attending the school. Brad Curtis, who gave an in spired performance as Harry, the American stranded in Eu rope with a troupe of .chorus girls, already has the appearance and many characteristics which fitted him for the part Miss Peabody, a typical college girl, turned herself into a strange, glamorous adventuress and worn-an-of-the-world with the aid of an accent, bleached hair, a new manner of walking and a dozen other artifices. Fred Whited was also impres sive for his work as the rant ing "arise and change the world" character and Gus Bow mer's fans gloated over his por trayal of "Duir-ptsy," the wait er. Between acts we talked with Richard Graham and Clara Dan iels and learned the dishearten ing news that the seats were being taken out of the Lithia theater and that the Vining Rep ertory company, which had such an auspicious start last fall, must raise in the neighborhood of $500 to install other seats if the planned spring season is to con tinue. While the Vining company In Ashland is having its troubles, Medford Footlighters for the time being are beginning to feel that at last the little theater movement here Is making real progress. This feeling of accom plishment comes mostly from the fact that at last the group has a little theater in which to present plays. Through the cooperation of In terested persons who donated funds and materia', Footlight ers made over the second floor of a building at the fairgrounds into the little theater, while more or less still "in the rough" the new theater, finished in knotty pine, is clean and fresh appearing and has a small but adequate stage and dressing rooms. Efforts of the group will now be turned to improving the quarters and purchasing need ed equipment. First play given in the new building, "George Washington Slept Here," drew satisfactory audiences for most perform ances last week and plans -are being made for a second pro duction in the near future. - Another group reaching a milestone last week was Jack son county area Licensed Prac tical Nurses' association. Twenty-six members of the associa tion, one of the newer organ izations of the county, received their nurses' caps in the first such ceremony ever held in Med ford and both the practical nurses and their sponsors, the registered nurses, believe that a great step forward has been made for the profession of nursing.

He re peated Dickens' description el Nurse Sairey Gamp (followers of Columnist Brady as well as readers of Dickens are familiar with this creature), who was de scribed as "a fat old woman, this Mrs. Gamp, with a husky voice and moist eye. She wore a rusty black gown, rather worse for snuff, and a shawl and bon net to correspond.' The face of Mrs. Gamp, the nose In partic ular, was somewhat red and swollen and it was difficult to enjoy her society without be coming conscious of a smell of spirits." This vivid picture and Infor mation given later by Dr. A Erin Merkel emphasized how far the profession of nursing baa advanced. When Jane Dumo enters Mas sachusetts General hospital In Boston soon to train as a nurse, she will be the second of her family to do to. Her mother, Mrs Edwin R. Durno. was graduated from the same Institution as a registered nurse and for many years has worked In Medford hospitals chiefly as an anaesthe tist. For the most part she "teams up" with her husband, one of the city's leading surgeons. The doctor was given a rather extraordinary wedding anniver sary gift not long ago a pair of blue jeans. Dr. D. had been say ing he wished he had a pair of jeans to wear when the Durnos visited the family ranch in east ern Oregon, so when the annlver sary came along, he found the jeans in his anniversary package.
