Festival Footnotes
As dress rehearsal time nears,
the festival theater has become
a scene of noise and confusion.
Workmen are busy completing
the new benches and placing
them in the audience, lighting
director Bill Patton and his as
sistants are hanging lights and
connecting seemingly endless
wires, and the women of Ash
land are aiding costume director
Doug Russell by helping to com
plete the nearly 200 costumes
which will be used this year.
Amid all this, rehearsals are
being held from 10 in the morn
ing until late at night; dancing,
fencing and chorus rehearsals as
well as the play rehearsals. As
the rehearsal pace increases, so
does the audience, for the pub
lic is admitted free until dress
rehearsal time, when only hold
ers of season tickets and their
out-of-town guests are allowed
in the shell. Many young chil
dren are among the rehearsal
audiences, and some are so in
tent on catching every word
spoken on stage that they must
be shooed off the stage railing
before the rehearsal can go for
ward. Among the creations of Paul
Reinhardt, Oklahoma scholar
ship student who has designed
and executed costumes for "The
Tempest," are three wigs of
rayon "horsehair" which will be
worn by goddesses Iris, Ceres
and Juno. Clara Daniels, norm
ally a brunette, will have a
white, beaded and bejeweled
wig for her part as Juno; Su
zanne Hanson, who also has
dark hair, will be blond for her
role as Ceres, and Marjorie Lov
berg will wear a wig of sky blue
for Iris, goddess of the rainbow.
A trip to Crater Lake has
been planned July 27 for those
in the cast who wish to see the
famed lake and surrounding
A Tribute
TO THE
While you are still sleeping, a million and
more men are up and working -with the good
earth. They are America's vast and vital army
of Farmers. Upon their broad and patient
shoulders rests the lifeblood of our 155,000,
000 people. They provide the food we eat.
They provide the meat and eggs and milk
and vegetables which come to our tables.
Their products, won from the soil, go to
countless manufacturers and processors who,
in turn, make other foods and clothing for
us to wear. The Farmer, indeed, is the back
bone of the nation. We salute him as one of
our most important citizens!

territory, with a picnic at Union
Creek on the return trip. It will
give those who go a much-needed
chance to relax from the
strain of run-throughs, dress re
hearsals and picture-taking ses
sions which often last into the
early morning hours.
One of the more versatile
members of the cast this year is
Marjorie Lovberg, a 19-year-old
sophomore at Montana State
university. Marje was born in
Minneapolis, Minn., but has liv
ed in Missoula for several years.
Her activities in the festival in-,
elude the parts of Hero in
"Much Ado About Nothing,"
Mistress Quickly in "Henry V,"
Iris in "The Tempest" and Cal
phurnia in "Julius Caesar." She
also sings in the madrigal group
and is a member of the country
dance group.
She first became interested in
acting when she was a sopho
more at Missoula county high
school, where she was cast in a
play under the direction of Miss
Mary V. Harris. Her parts in
college productions include
Lady Macbeth and Countess
Gabrielle in "Mad Woman of
Chaillot." The director at the
university aroused her interest
in the festival, and she came to
Ashland by bus for the try-outs
Marje is fond of dancing and
hopes to study it in the future.
She has studied voice and piano,
and is a minor in music at the
university. She is a member oi
Delta Gamma social sorority.
Last summer she was an appren
tice in summer stock at the
Tenthouse in Highland Park,
Illinois.
Marje, who is of Norwegian
descent, is the daughter of a
Missoula carpenter and has one
brother. She is the first member
of her family who has shown an
interest in showbusiness as a
career, and prefers legitimate
theater to a career in Holly
wood. R.S.

Famous Pianist
Turns to Moderns
For New Repertoire
New York (U.PJ Claudio
Arrau, who is reputed to have
the most extensive repertoire
among the world's major pian
ists, has set himself the task of
mastering a vast new field of
modern music.
The Chilean pianist feels that
contemporary composers need
and deserve a boost.
"That is why I am going to
play as much modern music as I
can in the next ten years," he
said in an interview.
Arrau's interest in modern
music may come somewhat as a
surprise to his admirers. For the
last decade he has concentrated
almost exclusively on the classic
compositions, giving rise to the
impression that he spurned mod
ern music.
"That is not the case," he said.
"As a matter of fact I believe
firmly in the music of the fu
ture. I feel an urge and a duty
to dedicate more of my time to
it."
To Take Time Off
For the first time since 1941,
Arrau plans to take three
months off next summer to
make a start toward his new
goal. He said composers that in
terest him particularly are
Charles lyes, Aaron Copland,
Roger Sessions and Walter
Piston of the United States,
Olivier Messiaen and Pierre
Boulez of France, Benjamin
Britten and Lenox Berkley of
Britain, Juan Jose Castro and
Juan Carlos Paz, of Argentina,
Domingo Santacruz of Chile,
and Camargo Guarnieri and Hei
tor Villalobos of Brazil.
Arrau said his ambition is not
new.
"I have always wanted to play
modern music but I have never
had the time," he added.
Arrau covers an average of
60,000 miles every year, a high
record made possible by his
repertoire of 76 recital pro
grams and 63 orchestral works.
Arrau, who was 49 in Febru
ary and looks around 35, has
another ambition.
"My great grandmother lived
to 120 and my mother is now
an active 92," he said. "There is
no reason why I should not live
to 110. I plan to give my fare-
