Festival Founder To First Shakespearean Play Ashland Twenty years ago Friday, July 2, 1935 The Ore gon Shakespearean Festival held its premier performance in an open-air theater in this small town, performing "Twelfth Night" on an authentic Eliza bethan stage, in authentic Eliza bethan costume. This year, when the festival opens a monm-iong iuu plays, about the only ining remi niscent of the first season will be the authenticity of stage, staging and costume. Even the event's founder and producing director, Angus Bow mer, has changed his activities with the years. In the first year Bowmer talked local people into backing the strange venture fi nancially, directed both plays, ran the box office, did all the purchasing, supervised the cos; tumes, and played Shylock in "Merchant of Venice." Sir Toby Belch in "Twelfth Night," and a half dozen bit parts as well.

DAV Auxiliary Hears Reports; To Sell Books State convention'Teports were given at a meeting of Disabled Ameircan " Veterans auxiliary, Jackson County Unit 8, Tuesday evening at 'the DAV hall. At tending the convention for the local unit were Mrs. Jim Little, Mrs. George Simmons and Mrs. Luther Tingley. Mrs. Simmons was elected state junior vice-commander. Mrs. Mae Holmes, Michigan, na tional commander of the auxili ary, was present and took charge of the busmess session upon the sudden death of the state com mander, Mrs. Rudy Heiden, dur ing a meeting. ' Mrst Holmes reported on the .various phases of auxiliary work, stressing the work that is done at the leprosarium in Car- ville, La. Auxiliary mandates are used for a Christmas party and gifts for patients and a spe cial stamp fund is used to sup ply postage stamps for patients. Mr. Owl, the assistant man ager of the Roseburg Veterans' hospital, addressed the auxiliary and stated that everyone should help in the rehabilitation of patients released from the Rose burg hospital. The attorney- general of Tillamook urged members and guests to be con stantly on guard against commu nism. - r - The local auxiliary voted to hold a social meeting the second Tuesday and a business session on the fourth Tuesday of - each month for the coming year.

New officers for the group will be. installed by the Past Commanders', club July 11 at the home of Mrs. George . Simmons, 606 Valley View drive. Looks Back petent staff of directors and staff members working under him,' the festival has a full-time business manager, and personnel devoted to such specific tasks as box office management and pub licity. Approximately 200 people saw the first festival an event featuring two performances ,of Twelfth Night" and one of "Merchant of Venice." The ac tors were townspeople and South ern Oregon college students, and the audience was entirely local. This year, a company of profes sional actors and outstanding drama students from the nation's leading colleges and universi ties will present four plays in rotation throughout the month of August, and two special per formances of one .of "Shake speare's rarest plays, "Timon of Athens," as well. Concerts of Elizabethan music and other special events will round out a month of festivities, in which 25.000 neosle from every, state and a number of foreign countries will partici pate. A national broadcasting network will air part of the festival program, coast-to-coast. Missing will be one special event from the 1935 season, though. In the first season, direc tor Bowmer's local backers were so certain that Shake speare was poor box office that they insisted that boxing matches be held in the theater in the afternoons to defray ex penses of the shows. The plays' taKe at the box office paid the loss of the boxing matches and no one has doubted Shake speare s drawing power in Ash land since. The civic, non-profit event is still governed by a board of di rectors elected by the member ship of the festival association, aim aim pays us own way through ticket sales. It has no subsidy of any kind. It has also clung to the idea on which Mr. Bowmer founded it that Shakespeare's nlavs. produced on the stage for which he wrote them in the Elizabe than manner, would be as popu lar in the twentieth century as m Shakespeare's day. To prove mat ne was right, he points not only to the festival's growth, but to tne xact that all 31 perform ances in Ashland this August win see college professors seat ed beside clerks and loggers in Asniand s theater. Bard's Heyday Planned July 17 Ashland Tudor' guild has planned a number of innovations for the annual Bard's Heyday, wnich will be held this year on Sunday, July 17.
