TWO MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Society and Clubs Hollywood Oscar Night Now Disciplined TV Show By ALINE MOSBY Uniled Pren Writer Hollywood (U.R) Oscar night in Hollywood ha become a disciplined TV show, but in the old days the more informal event was colorfully sprinkled with bloopers. Tomorrow four excited stars will collect top film acting hon ors at an academy awards presentation that has been "dry runned" into perfection. Because of the demands of television, the players aren't al lowed to make thank - you speeches or long-winded intro ductions. In the '30s and '40s such speeches livened up the af fair. Wrong Frank One year the late Will Rogers was announcing the best direc tor award. He talked on and on about "My good friend, Frank." Director Frank Capra was half way to the stage when Rogers suddenly boomed, "The winner is Frank Cooper." Capra slunk back to his seat. In those days the awards were handed out at a banquet. By the time the guests partook of din ner and juice of the grape, the speeches got longer and the re porters sleepier. One year pro ducer L. B. Mayer put his arm around winning producer Wil liam Goetz and said, "I hope someday you'll be as big a man as I am." One wartime year di rector C. B. DeMille introduced the ambassador from China as from Japan. When Greer Garson won for "Mrs. Miniver." she thank youed for 45 minutes.

J Olivia de Havilland collected for "To Each His Own" she insisted the award should be shared by her 27 coworkers, and named them all. Other winners fol lowed this modest pattern except writer Donald Ogden Stewart. He declared, "I want it clearly, understood I alone am respon sible for the success of 'The Phil adelphia Story.' I have no one to thank but myself." Hoagy Hugo The year of Miss De Havil land's first victory was punc tuated with slip-ups. Producer Samuel Goldwyn called song writer Hoagy Carmichael "Hugo". The projectionist got the winning movie on the screen upside down. And backstage after the show Olivia snubbed her sister, Joan Fontaine. At first the Oscars were con sidered too unimportant the press did not cover the presenta tions. The winners were an nounced two months before the banquet in the Motion Picture Academy magazine. Later the winners were re leased to the press shortly be fore the banquet, and academy members read about it as they ate the dinner. Clark Gable de livered his acceptance speech to the press a full hour before he was handed his Oscar for "It Happened One Night." Now more than 500 corres pondents from around the world cover the academy event. But, as many reporters annually wail, "nothing happens at them any more."

Sixth MEDFORD Phone 2-9824 From Far to Rome Phoenix Ron Robbins, Phoe nix, made a two-week vacation trip to Rome, Italy, leaving here March 11 and returning March 27. He made the flight en route through San Francisco and enplaned at New York City on the Trans World airliner, "Star of Kentucky." The first stop was at Shan non, Ireland, where the group on the plane had breakfast and then continued on for a brief stop at Paris, France, and at Geneva, Switzerland. Fog hindered a view of Paris but Mr. Robbins described the flight into Geneva a particularly beautiful one. He arrived Sunday, March 13, at Rome and spent the majority of the time there, making side tirps to Naples,' Pompeii and Amalfi drive to the Bay of Naples. He also made a trip to Flor ence and at Assissi attended services at the church of St. Francis of Assissi and visited there the Franciscan monastery. A friar showed him through the chapels and various parts of the monastery. There he viewed paintings which had been done by St. Francis. - Back in Rome he also attend ed a military concert held out-of-doors in one of the old ruins near the famed Coliseum. Vestiges of the damage done during World War II at Naples was apparent, especially to for mer industries and railways, Mr. Robbins said. He was particularly impressed with the fact that everyone, re gardless of station, appeared well dressed both in style and manner. The shops also were filled with well-styled apparel for both men and women and of good materials, he explained. The weather he found espe cially good and spring flowers and crops were in bloom. Mr. Robbins made the trip alone and decided only a short time before his vacation to make the trip to Italy. Because of the briefnes he went without hotel reservations but found accom modations without difficulty and the people friendly and eager to show him about their cities. He is employed in the collections department at First National bank, Medford branch. Wives To Blame For Failure of Men in Kitchen New York (U.R) The wom an's to blame if the only time Pop comes into the kitchen is to see what she's cooking. More men would do more of the actual meal preparation if they were given a little wifely encouragement. And properly handled, the men wouldn't leave a trail of dirty dishes for the women to wash up. This optimistic outlook on men as cooks comes from Andrew A. Wilson, a bachelor, and the only man entered in the recent national cooking contest of Pills bury Mills. Wilson, an elementary school official in West St. Paul, Minn., cooks as a hobby. He said femi nine interference discourages a lot of men who otherwise would take up kitchen - puttering the same way they take up golf or stamp collecting. "Trouble is," said Wilson, in an interview, "the wife won't let the husband cook his own way. She has to be in there boss ing the proceedings. . . usually giving a progress report on what he's doing wrong. So what hap pens? After a while, the man just gives up." Wilson's advice to any woman who would like to see her hus band cook a meal now and then: "When the man's in the kit chen, you get out. Let him learn by the few mistakes he will make." Getting him to wash the dishes is another matter. "Just point out it's easier to wash as you go along," said Wilson. "If this doesn't work you have the perfect argument for getting an automatic dish washer." - Dorcas Federation Of Southern Oregon Meets in Medford Members of the Southern Ore gon Dorcas and Welfare federa tion will meet on Wednesday, March 30, at the YMCA from 10:30 a.m. until 3 p.m. Delegates are expected from Klamath Falls, Ashland, Grants Pass, Wil liams, Cave Junction, Glendale, and Eagle Point as well as from the Medford and Valley View churches.

Not that the nation's beaches will bloom out exclusively in bikinis come summer. But the trend to the bared midriff is here. One suit already showing at southern resorts is the "Cleo patra," a two-piece sarong style designed by Milo Anderson for Catalina. This, one inspired by the Egyptian influence in fashion in general, was decribed by one wit as the closest thing yet to what the Egyptian working girl of the Fourth Dynasty wore which was nothing.
