TWO MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Thursday March 3. 1955 Around Hollywood By ALINE MOSBY United P?;ii Correspondent 5 - 4 Aline Mosby have watched Hollywood U.R) Opera singer Marguerite Piazza swivel- hipped to fame by doing a Dixie land strip tease in her nightclub act, but she insist ed today it isn't sex ap peal that put "her over, but Some night club fans who the former diva from the Met unveil her shapely legs might disagree. But even Marlon Brando, Miss Piazza said defensively, con gratulated her on not losing "dignity" in her act. Lost No Dignity "He came to my dressing room after the show and told rr.e I didn't lose any dignity by my act, even with all the jazz in it," she said. "You can t say sex appeal is the element in it, but showmanship. "I love playing for the picture people," she added. "They dig the act." Brando, Gregory Peck, Mau reen O'Hara and Rhonda Flem ing are among the stars so ex cited about her act at the Cocoa nut Grove that they went back stage to tell her about it. In her routine she first sings opera arias. Then she changes her cos tume behind a screen to a low cut dress, split up the side. In that costume she belts out her slightly high-brow version of jazz. The diva launched her Dixie act at a New York hotel where she collected record business and more press clippings than opera stars usually enjoy. Now she may step on those publicized legs into movies and a TV series. Talking TV "I'm talking to CBS about a TV series, possibly light com edy," she said. "Joe Pasternak, the producer at MGM, has men tioned my singing in a movie musical, "The LasVegas Story." In person Miss Piazza has the dignity and dramatic speaking voice of the usual opera star. But she also' owns the drive of an ambitious woman who ad mits you can't make much money or achieve popular fame in opera houses. Whether opera stars like herself and Helen Traubel should kick up their heels in nightclubs is a contro versey, she confessed. "A lot of opera stars don't like to unbend and many peo ple admire the fact they are distant and untouchable," she said. "But other fans do like to see an opera singer display a little bit of humanity. "I'm not giving up opera," she added. "I sing it in my act. I love opera and think every town in this country should have its own opera. They do in Europe. "But I'm from New Orleans and I like to sing Dixieland, too. I go from 'Madam Butter fly' to jazz in my show and no singer has done that before." to. Iridium Coil Simulates Heat of Jet Engines Schenectady, N.Y. U.R) General Electric Company en gineers have come up . with something to stimulate the white-hot heat of jet engine combustion chambers. It's a six inch coil of irridium worth about S175 an ounce. The high temperatures, which soon would melt ordin ary metals, were generated in a small furnace no larger than a wastebasket. A tiny electric current was passed through the iridium coil, making it possible to calibrate temperature-measuring probes for use in taking jet engine temperatures. S TAR GAZER! .

Red Cross Chapter Seeking Support For Fund Campaign (Editor's Note: This is the first of several articles which will appear in the Mail Trib une during the Jackson Coun ty Red Cross fund drive out side of Medford. Based on official Red Cross information, they are submitted by the fund drive publicity comm:itee.) When people help one another voluntarily, human society is fortified by a strength that comes from the hearts of men and women of good will. The Red Cross serves as a channel. Across the nation, hundreds of thousands of volunteer help ing hands are ready to save neighbors in time of disaster, to help neighbors' sons and daugh ters with the problems and emergencies that arise during military service, to help keep a life-saving stream of blood plas ma and its derivatives flowing to civilan hosptals here at home and to military hospitals here and overseas. These helping hands are kept active and in readiness by the support given by the Amer ican people. Since it was found ed in 1859 the Red Cross has become such an important part of pur way of life that cancella tion,' or even reduction, of Red Cross services would be a seri ous matter. t Funds Needed If funds are not adequate Red Cross services will be. curtailed. More than half the blood used in civilian hospitals, and vir tually all in military hospitals, is supplied through the Red Cross. Other services are just as important .to millions of people throughout the world. .Your contribution to the Red Cross is not a donation. It merely preserves ' a service that is al ready in existence here and is serving the citizens of Jackson county every day. In effect, it is payment for services already re ceived. j The Red Cross program needs no justification of war or emer gency to show its . value. It proves its value year after year by saving lives, relieving anx iety and distress, and 'reducing' human suffering. But in time of international tension and un certainty the Red Cross program Pickin' Pears News and Notes From Camp White By SID HOLLINGSWORTH For the past four years,', the problem of welding together a working crew to operate the VA Domiciliary center has, been in the hands of a man who has de voted much . of his life to the game of football, in which he was both a player and a coach.
