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.

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.

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.
