SOPRANO DUEL
In the early 18th century, two
famous women singers, Frances
ca Cuzzoni and Faustina Bor
doni, were bitter rivals in the
theatre. The public clamored
for a "duel of voices." So George
Frederick Handel wrote the
opera "Alessandro" with two
equally important parts for the
women as rivals in the plot. The
temperamental singers took the
whole opera literally and actu
ally fought on stage, to the de
light of the audience.
CHOPIN'S FAREWELL
When Frederic Chopin was
visiting a young girl named
Marie, she gave him a flower to
wear. To return the gesture, he
composed a little farewell waltz.
In this music he blended the
chimes of her clock and the
bustling sounds of the street out-
aide her home. This music, just a
token at that time, is still fam
ous as "La Valse de 1' Adieu."
INDIAN LIFE SONG
Young Indian boys, who want
ed to grow up to be great war
riors, were sent alone to a moun
tain top to fast for three days.
During this time, it was said
that brave boys had "visions"
il.'f oo
of a song and when the boy
came down to the Indian village,
he was singing his own personal
song that would belong to him
all through his life as a warrier.
For best lighting results, lamp
shades should have white or
light ivory linings to reflect all
the light. If you want color in
lamp shades be sure to use
opaque paper ones.
If -you're one of those who
tuck - hard-boiled eggs in meat
loaf, here's a bright idea; devil
the eggs first. This is guaranteed
to make your meat loaf the hit
of the party.

Conf erence Says Music
Clue to Nation's Welfare
You can tell what people are
by hearing their music.
In a recent study of the
world's music, the American Mu
sic Conference discoved that the
prevalent type of melody in each
era is a clue to the welfare and
spirit of the tim.e
The Crusaders, for instance,
introduced romance and gallan
try as a new note in folk music
of the twelfth century, while
contrastingly, musical accom
plishments were at a standstill
during the Black Death plague
and the Hundred Years War.
With the Rennaissance came
the spirit of individualistic ac
complishment and Italian com
posers departing from stylized
music, tied drama and music to
gether to introduce the opera.
Fiddled While They Waited
By the sixteenth and seven
teenth centuries music was so
important in England that bar
bers kept violins for the patrons
to amuse themselves, much as
a dentist of today stacks up
magazines.
Music has been used to por
tray the deepest feelings of each
people from their love songs
to their bitterly satiric political
barbs. This is evident in our own
country's history- "Yankee Doo
dle Dandy," an old drinking
song, was sung in derision by
British soldiers, who jeered at
our bedraggled Revolutionary
patriots. With a "dandy" twist,
Washington's army beat the Brit
ish and captured the song. It was
played at the surrenders of Bur
goyne and Cornwallis.
Our patriotism and personal
fears were evident in the songs
of America's wars and our
flaunting of conventions during
the twenties was a ragtime pre
lude that ended in a crash.
Use Music's Power
It's a different story now. The
power of music is being recog
nized, and used to develop a bet
ter nation. Modern educators ered dish luncheon will be
have discovered that instrument- served at 12:30 p.m
playing develops the powers of
concentration that help in other
studies. Athletic coaches know
it teaches coordination. Teen
agers revel in the popularity
they gain. Doctors use the sooth
ing powers of music to reduce
tension. Adults find music the
most rewarding hobby. These
are the reasons that American
Music Conference figures show
we are the top melody making
nation in the world. There are
more than 48,000 school musi
cal organizations, with a great
number of schools including in
struction as an integral part of
the curriculum. A national sur
vey indicated that the educator's
trust in music to encourage good
grades was justified 90 of
elementary school honor stu
dents play an instrument.
Other Growth of Music
Community orchestras are be
ing formed throughout the coun
try with more than 700 giving
concerts regularly and others
forming. Industry has made
great strides in recognizing the
benefits of music participation
by employees in raising morale
and cutting down 'on. absentee
ism. Companies like Dow Chemi
cal, Ford, DuPont and hundreds
of others find that music is a
great democratizer and makes
people like working together.

Citizens of Ashland are be
coming accustomed to the antics
that often take place after re
hearsals at the "B and G," a
hamburger house not far from
the theater. Spontaneous dance
exhibitions, imitations and other
by-play have attracted quite an
audience from time to time as
members of the cast relax and
enjoy their food.
One of the younger members
of the cast, sixteen-year-old Ger
ald Gardner of Sheridan, Ore.,
received word recently that his
stage name, Michele Valienoff , is
now legal. Gerry is a ballet pupil
at Ballet House in Portland, and
will go on tour next January as
member of Ballet Oregon, a
troupe recently formed by his
teacher.
The only Texan in this year's
festival cast is one who doesn't
ride horseback, Mainer Patrick
Hines, of Corpus Christi. Pat, a
festival scholarship holder, has
lived in Texas all his 22 years,
and has attended Del Mar col
lege and the University of Texas,
He is a member of Pi Kappa
Alpha fraternity. He has studied
unaer a. iaen fayne, ana ap
peared in 17 college shows.
Pat was born on St. Patrick's
day, which accounts for his mid
die name, although he is neither
msn nor uatnonc. Mainer is
an old family name, dating back
to the days when Pat's ancestors
lived in Germany.
His most important Shakes
pearean role in college was King
Henry, which he portrayed in
the Texas production of both
parts of "King Henry IV." Pat
wiu be seen this summer as
Alonso in "The Tempest" and
Leonato in "Much Ado About
Nothing."
Pat first became interested in
the festival through Paul Rein
hardt of Oklahoma, a festival
veteran, who attended the Uni
versity of Texas last year. Paul's
copies of the souvenir programs
were partly what attracted him,
he added. ' -.

The Indians regarded wild
rice, a modern delicacy, as the
special gift of the Great Spirit
to them.
A few weeks ago a story was
sent out of the festival publicity
bureau to the effect that a lute
was badly needed for use in the
festival by Hans Lampl, music
director. The rare instrument
was described as a "a pear-
shaped instrument, alleged to be
musical, stringed, and with a
long 'neck'."
The story, sent only to south
ern Oregon newspapers, was ap
parently picked up by a wire
service, for this week Lampl re
ceived a letter, from 3014 Doug
las road, Coral Gables, Fla. The
writer, Mrs. Victor K. D. Ross,
reported the need of a lute had
been published in the Miami
Herald and that she had the solu
tion to the festival's problem.
fane wrote:
"If you will get in touch with
Mr. Ephraim Siegerman, who
is a graduate student at the
Brooklyn Polytechnic, New
York, I am sure that he can not
only secure a lute for you but
can go to Ashland and play it for
the festival.
"Mr. Siegerman is rapidly
making a name for himself as
one of the few professional lut-
ists in this country."
A delighted Lampl lost no
time in writing and mailing a
letter to Ephraim Siegerman at
Brooklyn Polytechnic. R.S.

Looking for a different place
to serve luncheon? Catherine
Gray, a table settings consult
ant, suggests, "Move out onto
the porch, where you and your
guests can enjoy summer days."
The table decoration suggest
ed for luncheon is easily ar
ranged and practical, too. The
pots of ivy marching across the
table can be left outside all
summer. They add a cool tvuch
of green to your porch. And the
bamboo basket is so usable
you'll wonder how you ever got
along without it.
The baskets, now on sale in
department stores, go along to
market, bring home wet bathing
suits from the beach, carry your
knitting, or sewing. They fold
into a flat package when not in
use.
Here, the basket comes to
the table to fold the fruit for
dessert. (Carry the fruit to the
porch in the basket, then ar
range your decorative touch
while you bask in the sunshine.)
Oranges and grapefruit owe
their flower-like appearance to
a simple peeling trick. Section
off the fruit and peel the rind
almost to the base of the fruit.
Then fold the peels under the
fruit to form petals.
Toothpick place mats harmon
ize with the bamboo basket and
add a summery note. Because
they are easily cleaned by mere
ly wiping with a damp cloth,
these mats will often appear on
your summer table.
"Pretty crystal goblets and
sherbets make themselves right
at home on any informal table,"
says Miss Gray. "And do place
a bright nosegay of summer
flowers beside each plate to put
your guests in a mood as bright
as the day."
