1 SOC Faculty Follies
'Extravaganza' Set
Later This Week
Ashland The first annual
Faculty Follies, presented by
members of the staff at South
ern Oregon college, will be pre
sented at 8:15 p.m. in Churchill
hall, on the SOC campus. Thurs
day, Friday and Saturday.
The "extravaganza" has been
termed "one of the most unique
cultural activities ever to be
presented in the valley," accord
ing to a high-powered publicity
campaign conducted by Robert
L. Edwards, SOC instructor in
Journalism.
The follies will be on a "high
Intellectual plane," Edwards
has reported, and the cast has
obtained the loan of three bales
of hay to give the proper setting.
The stage event is modeled on
a "San Francisco Culture Tour"
theme, taking-off the quarterly
visits made by students to the
Bay city.
Edwards quoted Producing Di
rector Leon C. Mulling as say
ing that "valley residents who
have the fortitude to sit through
the hour and half show will auto
matically become eligible to re
ceive an honorary degree as doc
tor of hilarity at the 1975 com
mencement." Final dress rehearsal is set for
this afternoon.
The production will include
17 acts of "drama, music and
corn," Edwards' advance notices
say. He added:
"An Intermission has been
scheduled early in the perform
ance for the convenience of pa
trons who are unable to stand
any more, although the aisles
will be kept clear at all times."

Failure of a transformer
near Bear Creek orchards on
Highway 99 sduth of Medford at
7:25 a.m. today resulted in a
power outage in the area be
tween Medford and Phoenix,
California Oregon Power com'
pany officials reported this

utes, Copco men said.

force was resigning because the

'Very Good' Verdict
Given on Vining Play
, Wednesday. April IS. 1J51
MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE FTVK
"Very good" was the repeated
comment by. a chattery half
filled house at the Vining reper
tory's first spring season produc
tion of "Claudia" in Ashland's
Lithia theater last night.
The play, which involves
lovable but dense creature
named Claudia, concerns itself
with the struggle of creating a
woman out of a child encircled
by a "mother image." Claudia's
refreshing approach to life when
it concerns some of the baser
drives of the human race pro
vides the effective comedy ele
ment to which the audience
heartily responded.
Correct Nonsense"
Miss Elmarie Wendel, In the
leading role, was well-equipped
via voice and mannerisms to
convey the part in its fullest.
Her husky, well-modulated vocie
was embellished with provoca
tive stage movements and head
gestures which gave the correct
amount of nonsense to her in
terpretation. She, indeed, was
Claudia as Rose Franken intend
ed her.
H. Paul Kliss gave his well-
known smooth, urbane and de
lightfully bored interpretation
of Claudia s understanding hus
band.
Miss Clara Margaret Daniels
again displayed her competency
in a matronly role and lent a
professional sureness to the
unique acting company.
Striking Figures
Mrs. Barbara Curtis was a
striking figure as Julia who
brought the weirr1 creation of
Madame Daruschka, a broken
down Russian version of a Wag
nerian soprano, into the house
hold of Claudia and David. Mrs.
Suzanne LaMarre Hanson gave
the latter part the works, com
plete with an accent, with ges
tures, and blocked - up heels
straight from Carmen Miranda's
shoe closet.
Eddy Barron was an English
man without much of an accent.
This one improvement would
complete an otherwise good portrayal.
Mrs. Kitty Ingle and Brad
Curtis play two rather plain
characters that take care of
Claudia's home. Both slow down
their parts to a turtle's pace and
give effective studies in hired
help.
The tempo of the production
is never rowdy, as it surely
could be in several actions. Di
rector Philip Hanson interpreted
the production in a mild manner
and evidently stressed a light
comedy vein which is never des
tined to get bogged down in the
more serious tones of the pro
duction. By emphasizing this
tempo In each of the scenes,
Hanson achieved a continuity
that provided an excellent eve
ning of good light comedy on
an adult level. H. N.
