That double talk, happily, has started a new business for the manufacturers of fishing tackle. Many women now sport fishing lures as costume jewelry. The gay lures, stripped of barbed hooks or no, might catch more men than fish, especially in this leap year of 1952. Melted Honey Runs Down Into Kitchen Okawville, III..

Festival Music Program Explained by Director Audiences who have attended the first half of the 1952 Oregon Shakespearean festival plays in Ashland for the most part are pleased with the entertainment provided this year under the aug mented music program. While some have expressed disagreement with parts or phases of the program, both the music director, Hans Lampl, and festival fans and officials agree that generally the music seems to be successful. The new director faced a stu pendous task when he arrived in Ashland from southern Californ ia in June. He has worked long hours directing singers and in strumentalists, and in addition has arranged or written much music for the four plays. In an interview Thursday night Director Lampl explained some of his problems and gave additional details of the work being carried on in an effort to provide the four .plays with suitable music. One of the main difficulties lies in the fact that much of the true Elizabethan music is of a type to make it unsuitable to augment or height en dramatic scenes, he said. luniors for your well-dressed autumn!

August 17, 1952 "Just as overly elaborate stage settings would seem wrong on an Elizabethan stage, an exces sive amount of music would undoubtedly impair the effec tiveness of the Ashland produc tions," the director declared. "As it is, every one of the directors of this season's plays took great pains to keep the use of music apart from .Shakespeare's own original indications restricted to such instances only where it would help define the dramatic situation, as the dinner music at the beginning of the second act, or the wedding-music at the beginning of the fourth act in "Much Ado," or the ghost music in "Caesar." "I believe that generally music of the Elizabethan-Jacobean period is best suited for the Ash land productions. Thus a unique unity of style as well as atmo sphere is achieved. Unfortunate ly this ideal unity can only be realized with certain types of plays. The reason for this lies in the limitations " of Elizabethan music itself. As far as the greater part of all available material shows, it does not contain any thing suitable for a highly dramatic scene, nor such music, for instance, as could be called eerie or truly martial. "Unless the use of music is to be restricted to songs actually sung on stage, or dances and simple fanfares, one has to go beyond the Elizabethan ,' era. While it is possible to write music in a 16tly or 17th' century style, it is futile to aim at any dramatic effect. The vocabulary of Elizabethan 4!music simply does not supply it. - ' "Once a unity of styles has to be abandoned, however, the best results, to my mind, can be achieved if a gifted composer is free to write original music, pro vided he takes pains to faith fully mirror the ; atmosphere aimed at in the particular pro duction. ' i For the incidental music- to "Tempest" and "Much Ado," much authentic 16th and early 17th century music . was used, spme of it from two of the main sources of Elizabethan keyboard music (the "Mulliner Book" and the "Fitzwilliam Virginal Book") some of it from a French source of 16th century court dances, and some of the song settings the versions actually used in the earlier Shakespeare productions. Almost all the music was tran scribed and adjusted to the par ticular groups available, a small number of strings and wood' winds, some brass, and a harp to simulate the sounds of the lute "Much of the music had to be especially composed in an "Eliz abethan idiom," such as the set tings of the goddesses' song in the "Tempest," Ariel's "While you here do snoring lie," and the hymn "Pardon, . Goddess of the Night" in "Much Ado." The songs "Toss the Pot" and the Agincourt Song in "Henry V are authentic, the first a 16th cen tury popular song, the other dat ing back to the 15th century All the fanfares in "Henry V" had to be written especially, since none of the 16tb and 17th century trumpet signals found in source books would have been quite suitable. It was generally attempted to give the fanfares a flavor not strictly Elizabethan, but more archaic to suggest the style of the earlier period." In "The Tempest" Director Lampl also used '.'Come . Unto. These Yellow Sands written by Bannister in- the middle' " 17th century and two songs of Robert Johnson, "Full Fathoms Five" and where the Bee Sucks. These are dated about 1612. "Sigh No More Ladies" in "Much Ado" is an early 17th century composition of Thomas Ford, and all dances in both plays are performed to 16th and 17th century music. The "French source" alluded to earlier by Mr. Lampl is. Gervaise whose music was among the earliest ever printed in Paris.-the printer being Attaignant. The music for "Julius Caesar" was written by Ellis B. Kohs at the request of Director Lampl. This frankly modern-style music, particularly that written as the overture, has caused some ad verse comment. Mr. . Kohs, a graduate of the University of Chicago who did advanced work at Princeton university, has taught at both College of the Pacific and the University, of Southern California and is high ly regarded as a composer by Mr. Lampl. Audiences have been partic ularly pleased with the offerings of the Madrigal singers. This group sang for the Bard's Hey day, for opening night and also appear each night for "Much Ado." Instrumentalists have pre pared music for the four plays and also will appear in a concert August 29 on the festival stage in Ashland. Local instrumental ists working .with .

There the actors gather round, to satisfy their appetites, always sharpened by the strain of a per formance, and to hear her com ments on the play. Such a gath ering took place at the B and G Thursday. Bill Ball, actor from New Rochelle, N.Y., ran a close second to Dr. Bailey in drawing attention, for he rapidly con sumed three hamburgers and a double-decker ice cream cone before leaving for the men's dormitory at Southern Oregon college where he is staying. Talking about "Henry V" Thursday night, Dr. Bailey com mented on the sharp contrasts which that play affords. A battle scene is followed by a hilarious comedy scene or one with a deeply religious note; long speeches are contrasted with the gay and tender scene in which the king tells the French prin cess of his love. -The group agreed that the quickness with which these scenes are staged adds to the dramatic effect, but it was also said by some who had been in Thursday night's audience that the rapidity with which the next scene's actors began their lines cut off the applause which ac tors who had just finished speaking otherwise would have received. Few directors can boast of having produced a show that ran without any accidents back stage during the performance, and this year's festival directors are no exception.

If all is quiet backstage there is sure to be a plane roaring overhead, a train going by or a truck ' shifting gears as it climbs the hill below the theater. Phil Hanson, who is directing "Henry V" this year, has re peatedly, warned his cast about noise during scene shifts which can be heaTd out front. Finally, he told the cast after the last run-through of "Henry," "If you're going to throw the throne chair during the French soldier scene, please throw it farther so it will make more noise. And if you're going to drop that quarter-round, - please raise it at least two feet higher and drop it a few lines earlier. You're not coming in on cue." The cast, which at first had listened seri ously, realized that Phil was joking, and the rehearsal ended in a burst of laughter. Accidents will happen on stage, too, as Isaac McCarley, who plays the French herald Montjoy in "Henry" andPhil Fulton, Duke of Gloucester, can testify. In the last performance of "Henry," Phil dropped a purse which he was supposed to toss to Rick Risso, King Henry, who in tur-n tossed it to Isaac. He also dropped it, and several people in the audience remarked afterwards that the purse sound ed as if it contained beans rather than money.

Eisenbeis, senior naturalist of the forest preserve here, suggested the following tasty ingredients: plantain, lamb's quarter, sheep sorrel, leek, wild onion, sourdock and linden leaves, wild ginger, and the usual dandelion leaves. Plaintain, like the dandelion, is a common lawn and roadside weed. Eisenbeis said, and has a broad-ribbed leaf. Lamb's Quar ter has a small, silver-gray-green leaf, shield-shaped; sheep sorrel is similar to clover but has a yellow flower shaped like a vio let; sourdock is a long, curly leaf which tastes like a lemon. Change the popular tossed green salad with tart fresh grapefruit sections and slices of mellow rich avocado. Use any proportions you like and toss the salad just before serving. A wine vinegar, oil, salt and fresh ly ground pepper dressing is just right with this. either. Last "Tempest" perform ance he was pressed into service to sell autographed programs before the show began. These programs, which sell for double the regular price and have all full-page pictures auto graphed by the actors, have been selling so well that mem bers of the company involved have been asked to sign forty new ones every day to keep ahead of the demand. The extra fifty cents goes to the Tudor Guild scholarship fund.
