Thursday, November II, I9S4 ' 7 MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE THREE Aline Hesby opera com panies here but the plaster city seems to be more interested in imported culture. Some film starts even fly to San Francisco for the opera opening there rather than attend the same opera when it reaches smogville on 'tour. But the Los Angeles Opera Foundation has bravely tossed highbrow aims to the breeze and is attacking the problem on ' a "popular" level. . The foundation is backed by a canned dog food king. The opera company opening tonight in a downtown movie house will sing one night in Italian and the other nights in English at popu lar prices. And to drum up in terest, the group gave a party that goes down in my history book of Hollwood party life. Fabulous Home . . . The social event was . held at the fabulous home of contractor Hal Hayes that has a bomb shel ter, a partly-indoor swimming pool, an indoor waterfall, caves and a TV set stuck into a tree. Two guests, a man in a tux edo and a lady singer who kept shouting in Italian, slipped into the pool . and clambered out. dripping. Two other guests step ped through a skylight. At one point in the noisy evening the opera chorus marched, singing at full volume, through a secret underground tunnel that leads from the atom bomb shelter to a hilltop hideaway. Terry Moore and Lucille Norman were among the celebrities who stepped in side the house cautiously to gape at a cake in the shape of three opera sets. . - - 1 n e t-aiiiornia-styie opera company, conductor Carl Mas- troianni explained, consists of 165 singers (plus orchestra and ballet) who do everything from selling insurance to running fac tory machines for a living. The dog food millionaire, D. B. Lewis, has helped many of his tenors and sopranos by giving them jobs driving . dog food trucKs or canning the canine chow. Footed Bills . Lewis heard about the hopeful opera company a year ago and offered to foot the bills. They're rehearsed in public parks, in the hectic home of Mrs. John Car radine and in a converted gro cery store. . .. "Lewis is applying dog food merchandising to sell opera," a spokesman says. . "He wants opera to appeal to a greater audience, not just snobs." Conductor Mastroianni la mented that so far the companv "hasn't aroused the local interest we thought it would" despite its aim to help the community. "We think Los Angeles should have its permanent opera com pany," he said. "San Francisco doesn't really have one they just get the Metropolitan Opera on vacation. WET CLARINET Memphis, Tenn. (U.R) Joe Simon really got attached to that clarinet he played for years with a circus band. Simon, now a theater manager, said that when he decided to give up playing, he gave the clarinet a "burial" in the sea. He just couldn t bear the idea of selling it.. ...
