i TWO MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Society and Clubs Fattfous World Designer . Revives 1947 "New Look ' ' Paris ttJ.R) .Fashion designer Christian Dior, whose 1947 "new look" lowered hemlines and family bank balances throughout the world, revived the style Saturday. The "old master" of the Paris fashion scene showed a bold two-and-one-half inch drop in skirt lengths which will again mean new wardrobes for women and heavy bills for the men. . He built his 1952 winter show around a wishbone shape, con troling the feminine figure to conform with present-day living, r Dior drastically lowered the daytime hemline and put cock tail skirts just above the ankle in the lowest swoop since his "new look." World buyers were agog. They had been holding back their Paris orders until they saw Dior's pace-setting collection. If a sober second look con vinces them 'he longer skirts will catch on, most of milady's wardrobe may hve to be junked. Reacjy-to-wear clothes-i-usual-ly more skimpily-cut than ex pensive models generally will not allow sufficient turndown material for re-modeling a la Dior. Main difference between the old "new look" and today's was that present skirts are slimmer In contrast to the fuller 1947 style. . Experts credited Dior with Tele-fun by Warren Goodrich "Since I got on to making long distance calls by number my friends call me Speedy l". . .

Fea tured were a high-rapped neck line, an uptilted and emphasized bustline, natural waist and both skin-tight and controlled full skirts. Mrs. Matthew B. Ridgway, wife of the SHAPE commander, appeared particularly thrilled with "breastplate" effects show ing on suit and coat fronts. Like the fencers' protective guard, it added to the double-breasted ef fect and was employed both by Dior and de Givenchy.

(U.PJ The age of children in a family can make a considerable difference in the grocery bills, according to Uni versity of Nebraska home econo mists. The economists said food needs increase as children grow and develop, reaching a peak in the teen years. Recent estimates by the Bureau of Human Nutri tion and Home Economics show that the cost of feeding a family of four with two teen-age boys is around a third more than that for a family with children under six years. The University 'food experts said teen-age boys need some what more food than girls of the same age because of their larger size and because they generally are more active physically.

YOUR CREDIT ACCOUNT INVITED S S Shakespeare Driven Indoors by Weather; Performances Pleases The players of the Oregon Shakespearean festival, driven from their usual quarters in the outdoor; stage by a downpour of rain and hail, presented their inaugral performance of "Much Ado About Nothing" last night in the cramped, stage of the Lithia theater. Despite the strange surround ings and the fact that the Lithia stage is less than half the size of that at the outdoor theater, the cast, individually and as a group, came through with flying colors. In fact, the near - capacity audience appeared to be more affected than the cast by the change to the indoor stage. The spectators, in general, did not seem to warm up to the play until midway in the second act although the quality of the act ing was uniformly top-notch throughout. Cast Equally Divided The cast of "Much Ado" is di vided almost equally among fest ival veterans and newcomers making their first appearance this season. - The two leading nale roles are handled by veterans, and newcomers play opposite them in the leading female parts. The casting of Richard Gra ham as young Benedick, some thing of a surprise to those who had seen him superbly enact the role of "King Lear" last year and of Willie in the Vining performance in "Death of a Salesman," turned out to be a complete success. Graham's Benedick started on a high plane and rarely dropped from it. It is doubtful that any other member of the company could have combined Benedick's cynical outlook and good humor as skillfully as did Graham. Eleanor Prosser Opposite Playing opposite Graham, as the sharp - tongued Beatrice, is the attractive Eleanor Prosser, who took a back seat to no one last night. Only a step behind Graham and Miss Prosser were Bill Ball as Claudio and Marjorie Lov berg as Hero. Admirably cast as the young lovers, they per fectly offset the good natured bickering of Beatrice and Bene dick. Ball was particularly good in the second act otchard scene.

Hanson's buffoonery had the audience roaring during the entire time he was on the stage. The rol,e like Greham's Bene dick, shows Hanson's great ver satility. Also worthy of favorable com ment were the performances of Mainer Hines,- as Leonato; Thomas Brennan as Antonio and Douglas Meeker as Verges. Singing Highlight One of the highlights of "Much Ado" is the singing of John Tay lor, James Baker and Lloyd Bun nell as the trio in the second act orchard scene. Taylor's wonderful stage presence, plus his fine voice, make him nearly indispensable to the festival's performance of the play. Perhaps most important to the play, particularly last night, was the excellent direction of Angus Bowmer. Had the cast been less well directed, the seemingly easy change from the festival outdoor theater to the tiny Lith ia stage would have been much less successful. J.J.
