As usual, we started out on
our vacation by bus because it is
convenient and economical and
then vow never to do it again if
Greyhound doesn't do something
about instructing the help in
schedules. Every tire, or almost
every time, we ask a bus depot
employee about schedules, or
fares, it turns out later that we
were given the wrong informa
tion. But then, if we worked for
Greyhound, we'd probably never
be able to remember all that in
formation either.
In many ways, it is more in
teresting to travel by bus than
by train or plane. The people
who travel by bus, whether b&
cause circumstances force them
to or by preference, seem to be
less inhibited than other tra
velers. For a time Monday night
we thought the trip north was
going to be dull, but it turned
out otherwise. For one thing,
five people who spoke no English
sat near us, and while we under
stood only a few words of their
conversation during the trip, we
found them most interesting to
watch and we enjoyed hearing
them talk together. We've al
ways liked to hear the Spanish
language spoken, it seems so mu
sical, and the small boy of the
five travelers rattled on inces
santly in a sweet voice.
A great many people do it, but
it must be a bit terrifying to set
out to travel in a land without
being able to speak the language
However, these travelers, appar
ently a family, seemed to be en
joying themselves and not con
cerned or anxious in any way.
The man of the group listened
intently to directions and instruc
tions from the driver and seemed
to understand, although he could
speak no English, and would
then translate to the remainder
of the party. The boy, just like
all small boys, started on a tour
of the Portland depot the minute
he was inside and was soon
busily examining everything
with great interest.
Portland seems to be enjoy
ing a busy tourist summer. We
had not bothered to make hotel
reservations and were somewhat
alarmed when the hotel clerk
said he had no empty rooms. It
was early morning, however
and guests were leaving, so he
sent us up to a room which had
just been vaeated, saying he
would send a maid right up. It
turned out that the occupants
had not left yet but the woman
in the room invited us in and
said they would be leaving in a
matter of moments.
"I don't mind in the slightest,'
she said kindly. "In fact, we did
the same thing ourselves yester
day. It must make the manage
ment happy when a hotel is so
busy the guests over-lap!"
Going up in the elevator, we
noted with interest a tray with
a bottle of ginger ale, a bottle of
beer and a bowl of ice. When
we inquired if for heaven's sake
was somebody drinking at 8:30
a.m. the bell hop and elevator
operator groaned and then
laughed. 'We have a permanent
guest," the operator said, "who
breakfasts every morning on a
bottle of ginger ale and a bottle
of beer." We all then shuddered
and agreed that it was a strange,
if not downright revolting cus
tom.
As usual the time in the city
flies by on wings and half the
things we planned to do, go un
done. We did visit the Portland
Art Museum to see the collection
of old paintings by Italian, Dutch
and Flemish masters given to the
museum by the Kress estate
Portland artists and art patrons
are exceedingly grateful for the
gift, for the paintings are of
great antiquity and beauty and
said to be valued at more than
two million dollars.
Even though the paintings
were done three and four centu
ries ago, the colors are sou
strong and rich, particularly the
red and orange tones, and our
companions on the tour agreed
that the early European artists
"had something" which most of
the moderns lack. When we went
froi the Kress collection into a
room where modern works were
displayed they seemed cheap,
tawdry and lacking in meaning
by comparison. We' particularly
looked at the controversial mod
ern entitled "Bird Depressed by
the Winter of 1946" (or some
other year) and felt that the bird
in the picture, when we finally
found it, couldn't have possibly
been as depressed as we were at
the sight of the picture.
In the evening we went to see
"Song of Norway" at the Civic
auditorium, which everyone in
the party, and for that matter,
everyone in the auditorium, en
joyed very much. The produc
tion, given by the Los Angeles
Civic Light Opera association,
has a good cast of both singers
and dancers, and the costumes
are colorful and rich appearing.
All this, combined with Edvard
Grieg's music, makes a most de
lightful evening's entertainment.
Our group included beautiful
Dorothy Anderle, former Port
land Rose Festival queen, who
was one of the attendants at the
wedding of Mary Miksche and
Peter Trim earlier this summer;
her brother, Carl; their mother,
and Bill Force, former Tribune
staff member. During the eve
ning we answered a raft of ques
tions about the current Shake
spearean festival plays and the
Portlanders made plans to drive
south for a week-end in order to
see some of the plays.
An exceedingly busy week
end preceded our departure, for
all in 24 hours we took in the
Junior Service league annual
corral cabaret, the final lunch
eon of the national Rotana con
vention, the McWhirter-Mead-ows
wedding and the annual
Bard's Hey-day.
At the cabaret the patrons ate
at tables arranged on the porch
and lawn nearby, and danced on
a special floor set up for the
evening. JThe floor also provided
a stage for the show given by
members of the league and their
husbands. Mesdames Thomas
Emmens, James Keeble, Sam
Richardson, Ed Collins, James
Henry and James Cummins,
with the aid of Garland Jones,
did a dance routine, and then the
"Can-Can Girls" came on. The
'girls" were R. B. Thierolf,
James Keeble, Don Root, Tod
Tibbut, Sam Richardson and
Martin Luther Jr., wearing cos
tumes of what looked like bur
lap. Blown-up balloons in strate
gic places provided the proper
curves, and empty tin cans were
hung here and there. When the
dance ended with the traditional
can-can routine, the "chorines"
produced squirt guns filled with
water and doused the guests sit
ting in the front rows.
The bright summer cottons
and other informal clothes worn
to this event make the scene a
gay one, and one dress attracted
particular attention. Mrs. Al Lit
trell wore a full black cotton
skirt with "I Like Ike" embroid
ered across the skirt in bright
thread.
The Bard's Hey-day was as
largely attended and as inter
esting as in past years, with sup
per, dancing, music and an in
teresting talk by Allen Fletcher.
However, Rodney Keating has
decided that the event is a jinx,
as far as he 1s concerned. Last
year Mr. Keating, who is presi
dent of the Oregon Shakespear
ean Festival association and who
introduces the numbers, sat down
m a chair which tipped him
backward down the hill prac-!
tically into the laps of guests
seated on the lawn. This year
Mr. K., probably remembering
last year, decided to sit on the
grass, too. Alas and alack, he
sat in a puddle of water formed
by a leaking sprinkler and had
to retire from the scene and swap
trousers with a friend not so
much in the foreground at the
party before returning to the
microphone for the remainder!
of his MC duties.
Mr. Heating's mishap wasn't
the only one. Jupiter, one of the
huge and shaggy sheep dogs be
longing to the hosts, the Berth-
old Barnums, climbed up on a
folding chair which started to
fold with him and caught one-
paw. Jupiter raised considerable .
commotion before the trouble
could be discovered, but Pat :
Barnum and her fiance, Russj
Jamison, hurried up and Russ :
finally managed to get the paw !
loose while Pat soothed Jupiter. ;
Well be rather Klad to re-:
turn to a section of the coast!
where the sun shines. Yester-j
day, in Centralia, Wash., where
we are visiting the family, it
rained and we had a fire in the
furnace. So far as we are con
cerned, that kind of weather
should come in the falL O. S.
