SOC Cast Works on Production Ashland "The Man "Who Came to Dinner," the three-act farce by George S. Kaufman and Moss Hart which will be presented by an all-college cast May 5, 6, 7, has presented some interesting acting problems to the Southern . Oregon " college producers. The leading character, the irascible Sheridan Whiteside. (Staffoid Thomas), spends most of the play in a wheelchair. Pro fessor Adolph Metz, (Francis Chasm) is busily trying to per fect a German accent for the role of an "expert on insect life," while Beverly Carlton, a British playwright, (Paul Sher ier), is working on an English accent, and on a song which will probably never be on the "hit parade.' Jan Cozzalio, the actress who call3 everybody "dahling," finds the role she is playing far differ ent from the one she has in real life, that of a student, wife and mother. The unfortunate Miss Preen, played by Audrey Russell, has to suffer Whiteside's complaints at each night's rehearsal as well as undergo strange treatment at . the hands of one of Whiteside's unpredictable friends, Banjo, a Hollywood character, Jim Tho mas. Tt's small wonder that she says, "If Florence Nightingale had ever nursed you, Mr. White side, she would have married 'Jack the Ripper instead of founding the Red Cross." Most of the members of the cast have the problem of adding years to their ages, but those who have to add the most gray hairs are Mr. Stanley, the busi ness tycoon, played by Ron Lamb; his social-climbing wife, Arlene Redmond; and his mys terious sister, Marilee Titus. Mrs. Dexter, (Ina Feero), and Mrs. McCutcheon, (Virginia Beach) friends of Mrs. Stanley, appear to grow older at each re hearsal. Other Interesting characteri zations being developed are: Dr. Bradley, whom Whiteside describes as "the best horse doc tor in town," played by Randy Brookshire; Maggie Cutler, Whiteside's secretary who has fallen in love with a "breezy" smalltown newspaper man, Bert Jenks; June Stanley, (Patsy Rob erts) who wants to marry an or ganizer in her father's factory, Dick Puckett, and her brother, Richard, a "shutterbug" played by Jay Davison. ' The cast is looking forward to the night when JoAnn Norton in the role of Sarah, one of the "three best cooks in the world" starts using "real props." Cliff Cain joins the cast as the harried butler, and Gilbert Ellis is West cott the radio production man who copes with celebrities. Small roles are being taken by Gary Fleming, Hal Titus, Paul Clute, Keith Lockhard, Jim Womack and by some of the members of the production staff. 4 Safety Program Planned for PTA The Red Cross will furnish a program based on "Safety and First Aid" at a meeting of Oak Grove Parent-Teacher associa tion Monday, April 25, at 7:30 p. m.

Star Clown, German Acrobat Of Ringling Circus Married Wbnderful way to feel better- DRINK SMDER'S Milk I You nevef j yourneeoX M TV DrinkCJ glasses of Milk every day SWDER'S MILK Br ELIZABETH TOOMEY New York (U.R) Ladeees and gentlemen . . . step right this way to see the only wedding party of its kind ... a clown charivari performed today only . . . to celebrate the marriage of famed clown Emmett Kelly and acrobat Elveria Gebhardt. The star clown and the tiny blonde acrobat from Leipzig, Germany, have decided to have a morning wedding so they wouldn't be late for the matinee of Ringling Brothers Barnum and Bailey Circus in Madison Square Garden. Only i few circus friends were invited to . witness tne simple civil ceremony, perform ed by Mayor Francis J. Murphy of Cliffside Park, N. J., in the Edgewater, N. J. home of Jo seph A. Skelly, county regis trar of vital statistcis. Circus Sentiment But circus sentiment got the best of the clowns. They stayed late in the deserted circus head quarters Wednesday night to re hearse their clown charivari. It was hastily substituted for the three-minute clown baseball game usually staged during the matinee performance. There was a beachball painted black and a chain made of rope to attach to Kelly's tattered trou- ser leg. And a bouquet of flow ers with a rubber band to fasten around the clown's neck so the flowers would snap back in his face as he handed them to the 22-year-old bride. "If I'd had more notice, I could have fixed up more things," Paul Jung, the clown in charge of the charivari said ap ologetically on the eve of the wedding. ' Kelly, 56, whose ragged, pa thetic figure has made millions laugh since he joined his first circus 35 years ago, began going out with the youthful acrobat a year ago. Last week they an nounced they would be married. Kelly Twice-Divorced Kelly, a quiet, serious man who paints and reads in his spare time, asked his circus friends not to make "too much of a to do" about his wedding. He was married twice previously to cir cus aerialists and has two sons, Emmett' Jr., 29, a railroad switch-tender and Thomas Pat rick, 19, a Marine. Both mar riages ended in divorce. "This will work out," Elveria said confidently. "Emmett is so good and kind and we get along so well together." , "She's a wonderful cook," the sad-faced clown said. "I think her stuffed cabbage rolls are the best." The bride's kitchen for the next seven months will be a corner of Kelly's seven-by-seven foot stateroom on the circus train. She already has it equip ped with an electric hot plate and an electric broiler. i Yes . . .

STONE'S 103 North Central Across from Penney's Physical Fitness" Of Children Is " Speakers' Topic Research has shown that chil dren in this - country are less efficient physically than are European children according to Miss Mary Bowman, who spoke at a meeting of Jackson County Classroom. Teachers'- organiza tion April 18 in - Eagle Point High school. Miss" Bowman is physical education survisor for the Oregon State Department of Education. - In speaking of the physical fitness of children. Miss Bowman stated that it is a matter of grave importance since the welfare of every nation depends .upon the physical fitness of its youth. Miss Bowman stressed the point that the final results of physical education were the things which every instructor should bear in mind in planning the program of activity needed by every child. Children of to day have much less opportunity for activity than did those of a few years ago, she said adding that every, child needs to de velop strength, . agility, and stamina. The speaker brought out the fact that there is a direct rela tion between physical and men tal health. "It must be remem bered that 80 per cent of a child's recreation is of a physical nature," Miss Bowman said, and also pointed out that good citi zenship may be a direct result of properly taught physical edu cation. She said competition is not bad when properly handled, and that good intra-mural pro grams will go far toward pro viding the desired results of the physical education program. Following dinner served by Eagle Point Parent-Teacher as sociation, the group was enter tained with an instrumental solo by Claudia Griffin, a student in the high school music, depart ment. The upper grade chorus under . the direction of Mrs. F. Blaar presented three selections. Miss Lila ' Hartzog presented a group of freshmen girls in a series of tumbling acts. The evening concluded with a business meeting over which Mrs. Orva presided. Boyd Gib son served as program chair man for the evening. . -4 Oily rags and those used in painting are fire hazards when thrown into uncovered piles. Spontaneous ignition can result.
