    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.

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

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.
