American Culture Establishing New Beachheads in England, On Continent B WOWE1IT MTJSEI. United Press Corresponded ' London (U.R) American culture ' i establishing new . beachheads in Europe. A British critic is complaining that most of the provocative plays in London were written by Americans. Belgium is humming tunes from George Gershwin's "Porgy and Bess." American evangelist Billy Graham is making a deep im pression wherever he appears. American opera stars are sing ing leading roles with European companies. Pat Rainey, the "Bos ; ton Bombshell" of rhythm and blues is a European hit This ' friendly invasion from the new world may some day recede but while it lasts it dem onstrates to many Europeans who might not have suspected it that there is a softer side to America. The United States has - something besides the H-bomb. There is time in America, too, for music ... for study ... for prayer. Britain, because there is no language problem, is getting the full impact of the cultural wave from across the Atlantic. There are 15 productions of American plays or musicals in the west end, a near record. In the fa mous vaudeville house, the Palladium, the headliner is Danny Kaye. He succeeded John ny Ray and will be followed by Rosemary Clooney. Famous Plays Orson Welles is presiding over season of repertory. Ruth Dra per is giving her one-woman show. Crowds are flocking to "The King And I," "Kismet,' "The Bad Seed," "Wonderful Town," and other imports from Broadway. In varying degrees this is the story all around the continent Helen Hayes and Mary Martin are starring in Thornton Wilder's -Skin Of Our Teeth" to Paris, where Rodgers and Hammer- stein's "Oklahoma" is playing to standing room only. These are part of "Salute , to France" program which included per formances by the Philadelphia orchestra under Eugene Or. mandy and the New York City ballet. Another feature of the "Sa lute" was an exhibition of paint ings by American artists of the past 40 years, and an exhibition of 90- paintings by 19th century French masters which were loaned from American galleries and private collections. Ormacdy Praised The Philadelphia orchestra also gave concerts in Germany and in Finland, where the vener able Jan Sibelius himself com plimented Ormandy for the feat of conducting a Sibelius work without a score. The American "Atoms for Peace" exhibit drew large crowds in Helsinki. ri ir a Is Animal uuiii See how fast baby goes to sleep with all these animal friends for company.

Cottons Used for All-Weather Wear Cottons are outstanding in modern rainwear designers' collections. They not only go out in the rain, but also are styled for day and date wear in clear weather, reports the National Cotton Council. Cotton rainwear is splendidly opulent in satin and velveteen, but down to earth- in sturdy poplin, cotton tweed and suit ing. Cotton satin is featured in classic trench coat styles as well as in belted coats with pleated bodice sections. In pastel pink, blue and beige these coats have great fashion appeal. The pastel look is important in these day date coats. In the same day and date mood are the velveteens, treated for water repellency, and in a range of wonderful . colors which in clude shrimp, green, gold, violet and vibrant red orange. Styled on full as well as new slimmer lines, the coats have rounded shoulders, narrower sleeves, im portant collars. Cotton tweeds as well as homespun textures spiced with metallic threads are featured fabrics which ' interpret the flared coats that coordinate so smartly with slim or full skirts. The long torso line is news in these coats and is featured in a slim poplin design with low placed belt. Pastel poplins with harmonizing printed linings are used for raincoat, cloche and matching umbrella sets. Pastel colors and prints in these color schemes are newsy. . For an easy-made, nourishing sweet, heat one package of semi sweet chocolate chips and three tablespoons of peanut "butter in a double boiler on the top burner of your gas range, until the choc olate is melted. Stir constantly. Remove from heat and add three cups of whole wheat flakes. Mix thoroughly, and drop from tea spoon on waxed paper; cool until firm. Makes about three dozen. Sunday. July 10, 1951 MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE SETEX Plans for the annual Bard's Heyday, to be held at the Oregon Shakespearian festival theater Sunday, July 17 at 5 p.m.. are nearly completed, those in charge announced last week. Shown above is a hand made quilt which will be given away during the event. The quilt was made by Mrs. H. I.

Rease Braley. Mrs. Frank Fairweather; and Mrs. Harry Skerry, Ashland. H. Paul Kliss and Brad Curtis of the festival company are in charge of. entertainment Dinner will be catered by Omar's cafe. The festival technical staff will conduct tours of the theater and Mrs. E. W. Jermark will decorate the . dinner tables. Harry Skerry as master of ceremonies will conduct the festivities Shakespearean Festival Expands Music Activities V Ashland The Shakespearean Festival's music program, be gun in 1952, has expanded this season with the award of three scholarships to outstanding young musicians, and plans; for ad ditional activities for. vocal and instrumental groups. . Four concerts of Elizabethan and post-Elizabethan music, both vocal and instrumental, will be presented on the four Sunday afternoons in August this season. All will be free to the public. In addition, there will be short pro grams preceding , most of the plays. - Until this year, the festival's small concert orchestra, madrigal singers, and other musical groups have been made up en tirely of members of the acting company and local musicians. Volunteers and doctors will still participate this year, but three musicians on scholarships and the director will devote full time to the popular Elizabethan music program and will form the nucleus of all musical groups. In Ashland to work with Ber nard Windt, festival music direc tor, are Jim Baker, Medford; Clarissa Berning, Redmond; and Martin Bliefernich, Newberg. All three have studied music at the University of Oregon. Windt, now in his third year as festival music director, has been a student of Elizabethan music techniques for several years. He received his master's degree in music from Ithaca Col- Washington Of the total area of the United States, about lege in New York and has done one-third is arid or semi-arid. graduate work at Eastman School of Music, the University of Michigan, and the University of Oregon. Also the chairman of the music department for the Ashland public schools, he gets his ideas for the festival music from the Ashland library collec tion, and from his own exten sive collection of Elizabethan music scores. ' " . , The incidental music for the plays will also be the responsi bility of Windt and the scholar ship holders. Although there are some scenes with the musicians on stage, a large part of the music will be recorded in ad vance on the. festival's new high fidelity tape recorder, and re produced during the plays. x . . The enlarged music program at the festival is made possible through a grant from Tom D. Cooke, Los Angeles Elizabethan music enthusiast. This is the only event of the 20-year-old festival that is subsidized. All of '.the other production costs of the non-profit organization are paid by box office receipts.
