Festival Footnotes
The recent heat wave has
caused many of the cast mem
bers to shed most of their cloth
ing for rehearsals, and brightly
colored shirts and shorts have
been the predominant costume
for afternoon rehearsals. Direc
tor Phil Hanson, who will ap
pear as Dogberry in "Much Ado
About Nothing," wore a pair of
gaudy red and white shorts the
other day, and Mike Onofrio,
portraying Gonzalo in "The
Tempest," wore a gay marigold
behind one ear as an accessory
to his tan shorts.
The .thundershower which
pelted Ashland late Friday af
ternoon was welcomed with
cries of joy by actors in "The
Tempest" who had been rehears
ing since two that afternoon.
Several of them, remembering
the movie "Singing in the
Rain," shown recently at the
Varsity theater in Ashland, did
an impromptu take-off on Gene
Kelly's dance to the title tune
on the forestage, which was ex
posed to the rain. Pat Hines did
an imitation of Al Jolson sing
ing "April Showers," and Marge
Lovberg and. Paul Reinhardt
danced a can-can while the rest
of the cast sang.
Mr. and Mrs. Raymond B.
Curtis (nee Barbara Huggins),
who will be remembered for
their outstanding performances
in last year's festival and both
easons of the Vining Repertory,
visited the theater last week on
their way to Klamath Falls to
play a nightclub engagement.
They returned to Ashland later
In the week, telling festival
friends that they would leave
soon for Texas. Barbara is a
graduate of the University of
Texas, and will work toward
her masters degree next winter .f
una will also attend classes at
the university. Both hope to re
turn to the festival next summer.
One of the most active mem
bers of the festival company is
Bill Ball, of New Rochelle, N.Y.,
who in addition to acting in all
four shows and directing several
dancing, groups for the festival,
is planning the program for the
annual Bard's Heyday, to be
held July 20 this year at the
home of Mr. and Mrs. Berthold
Barnum. The Madrigal singers,
a group that includes several of
the actors, will perform, and the
country dancers who will dance
on the green before play per
formances are to demonstrate a
pavanne, a galliard and a volta.
Hans Lampl, music director,
will direct the singers and will
also speak on Elizabethan mu
sic. Allen Fletcher will speak in
formally on the four plays to be
given this season.
As all of the cast consult the
backstage bulletin board every
day for notices of parties, spe
cial rehearsals and picture-taking
schedules, they have also
started to watch for the latest in
a series of "tintypes" which
someone in the company has
, Glimpses of Oregon's
Shakespearean Festival
been tacking up. They have ap
propriate captions in the style
of Constance Bannister's baby
pictures and Clare Barnes, Jr.'s
"Home Sweet Zoo" and "White
Collar Zoo."
According to box-office work
ers, ticket sales in Portland,
Salem, Eugene and Klamath
Falls are ahead of those in Med
ford and Ashland with less than
three weeks until opening night.
Executive Secretary Bill Daw
kins is hopeful, however, ' that
sale of memberships will im
prove since they are now on sale
at both Purucker's and Pruitt's
music stores in Medford. R.S.

her firm announcement that no
body is going to make a glamour
girl out of her.
, She figures she made her suc
cess as a sweet, corn-fed female,
and she wants to stay that way.
' "Let's face it." she shrugged.
; If I were Marilyn Monroe I'd
be glad to do cheesecake, but I m
not, and why show what you
haven't got?
Children's Records
"Besides, I do children's rec
ords." she went on in her soft,
whispery voice. "That's real im
portant to me. When I pose for
publicity pictures for those it's
alwavs in the white collar."
Her studio, she said, took her
no-leg-art edict "as a matter of
course." But she admitted she
blushed when she told them she
wouldn't crawl into a bathing
suit for the regulation cheese
cake art that newcomers usu
ally submit to.
: "I was embarrassed," said the
singer apologetically. "I dunno
why.
"When they asked me to pose
that way, I tried to say no'
quietly but somehow it always
comes out a big 'NO!' I just ex
plained to them that I've been
kinda successful with just a dif
ferent style and I thought I
might stick with it.
Not A Siren
"I've been singing for so long
that I don't have to do something
different and be a siren. If I
have to resort to this cheesecake
right now I don't think it would
be a good idea.
Soo " she laughed. "We
went back to dresses with high
necklines and three - quarter
sleeves."
In "The Stars Are Singing,"
Rosemary sings, dances and even
acts, an accomplishment not' com
mon to most singers imported to
Hollywood. After working hours,
Rosemary and her "girl iriaay
and traveling companion, Jackie
Sherman, live in a rented Bev
erly Hills home.
"I haven't dated much," she
said with a shv smile. "I just
haven't met anybody that I'd
like to see often.
