Philharmonic Concert
Draws Record Crowd
The weeks of hard work and preparation, the long hours of
rehearsing and planning these bore fruit yesterday in the second
concert this season of the Philharmonic Society of Southern Ore
gon. For everything combined to make the concert a successful
and enjoyable event the music was excellent, the weather was
clear and bright for a January day and the audience of about 800
was the largest ever to attend a concert of the Philharmonic or
chestra.
The concert was followed by
a reception during which the
faces of musicians, guests and
concert-goers were wreathed in
smiles and a general air of
achievement and gaiety pervad
ed the even.
The large audience and the
success of the concert was due
partly to the drawing power of
Pianist Paulena Carter, who
came up from Hollywood to ap
pear as guest soloist, and partly
to the growing realization that
in the Philharmonic Society the
Rogue valley has an orchestra
capable of producing fine mu
sic an orchestra which, if given
proper support and encourage
ment, will continue to flourish
under the guidance of Director
Richard D. Werner and be a
definite cultural asset to all
southern Oregon.
The first half of the program
wa Hevoted to two Mendeissonn
numbers. Conductor Werner
chose for the opening seiecuon
4i, Vipantiful and descriptive
"Die Fingalshohle" or "Fingal's
Cave" which paints a musical
picture.
This was followed by the
Mendelssohn "Concerto No. 1 in
G Minor Op. 25"0for piano and
orchestra, which was Miss Car
ter's major contribution to 4he
program and which was enthu
siastically received by the audi
ence. Mendelssohn's, music is
characterized by its melodic pas
sages and its lyricism, and Miss
Carter's excellent technique,
her grace, her clarity of tone
and delicacy of touch combined
to make the number a most re
warding offering.
The orchestra's major pro
gram number was Beethoven's
"Symphony No. 1 in C Major"
and here the musicians put
forth their best efforts. Since
many concert-goers have consid
erable knowledge of the master
Beethoven and . his symphonies,
any explanation of this work
could be superfluous. However,
one might point out that music
analysts have set this down as
a composition which, while it
lacks the drama and nobility of
his later symphonies, is particu
larly interesting since it was a
revelation of the "Beethoven
that was to be" in its daring and
forthright vigor.
Miss Carter returned to the
platform after the symphonic
number for a group of solo num
bers, playing Chopin's "Grand
Valse Brillante, Op. 18," the fa
miliar "Clair de Lune" of De
bussy and "Toccata" by the con
temporary Russian composer,
Khachaturian. Miss Carter's
playing of the Chopin Valse was
particularly delightful xto the
audience, and she put vigor and
spirit into her interpretation of
the Khachaturian number which
is in the modern idiom.
The appreciative audience
brought the pianist back for two
encores. For the first Miss Car
ter played "The Rustle of
Spring" by Sinding and the
"Malaguena" from Lecuona's
"Andalusia Suite."
Some in the audience, includ
ing this reviewer, would will
ingly have done without the
light Debussy number, and have
had Miss Carter substitute an
other worthier of fier talent.
Conductor Werner closed the
program with a selection which
has brought enjoyment to count
less thousands since it was writ
ten by Johann Strauss "The
Beautiful Blue Danube."
Almost all small community
symphonies, such as the Phil
harmonic orchestra, are neces
sarily limited by the fact that
all its members are making a
living af something else and are
onl. playing for the love of mu
sic and out of a sense of civic
dutv. And so it is with the or
chestra which played yesterday
at Medford Senior High school
It & a good orchestra under a
good conductor b&t the results
would be more polished, more
refined, if there could be more

time for concentrated rehearsal.
This lack showed -up particular
ly yesterday in the opening
number and in some passages of
the symphony.
This reviewer will not dis
cuss Miss Carter's shortcomings
and every concert' musician,
however talented or great, has
a few for several reasons. Miss
Carter, an intelligent young
woman, of course realizes these
shortcomings herself and has al
ready had them pointed out by
critics more able than this writ
er, and doubtless by her teach
ers. Too, her following in this
valley is extremely loyal and
fiercely resists any adverse criti
cism of her, however mild. Suf
fice it to say that she brought
real talent, youth, beauty and
genuine charm to the concert
stage in Medford yesterday, and
it was appreciated. She has been
warmly welcomed twice by mu
sic lovers of the valley and it is
hoped that she will come again
for other concerts.
Two circumstances marred
yesterday's concert the lack of
heat in the auditorium, and the
fact that there were so many
late-comers. We cherish the ap
parently vain hope that some
thing can be done to persuade
school officials to see that the
auditorium is properly heated
for winter afternoon concerts
it is difficult to enjoy music,
however fine, in a freezing at
mosphere. As for the late arrivals, let
us repeat when Conductor
Werner sets a concert for 3 p.m.

R ELIZABETH TOOMEY
United Press Correspondent
New York (U.R) Women
who buy clothes impulsively are
victims of "nervous wardrobes,"
says Mr. John, a designer who
doesn't believe in sugar-coating
the truth even with customers.
The hasty purchases add up
to a clothes closet containing
some good and sontfe bad choices,
he continued, but rarely produce
one perfect outfit.
"You have a lovely dress and
you wear it with a lousy hat,"
the designer said bluntly. "Or
the hat is beautiful but you
wear it with a lousy dress. Noth
ing is coordinated. That's what
I call a nervous wardrobe."
Unexpected Words
Mr. John, who likes to drive
his fashion points home by using
unexpected words like "lousy"
and "rubbish," interrupted the
interview in his mirrored 57th
Street shop when someone rat
tled the door, locked for the
night a, few moment earlier.
It was Marlene Dietrich. She
wanted to choose hats to take

After the initiation Mrs. Green
installed two members of the
guardian council. They are Mrs.
Claude Harris, guardian of mu
sic, and Mrs. C. F. 'Meyers,
guardian of socialibility.
Under "good of the. .bethel"
work, Miss Noreen Pahlka pre

flower's symbolic meaning.
During the evening several
distinguished guests were intro
duced. Theme for the evening was,
"Top Hat and Tails," done in a
combination of green and white.'
Small top hats, cans and fans

escorted visitors. Miniatures of
men and women in formal at

them for. If she found an old
beret and it suited her needs
she would buy it and she might
add a jeweled clip to it and
wear it in the evening."
Several Rules
The designer suggested sever
al rules he felt women should
remember concerning their
clothes. "Study what you have
in your closet,'' he said. "Take
your time. Think of the things
you want to eliminate and then
eliminate them. A lot of people
don't have the strength to clear
out their closets.. .
. "Don't be a guinea pig for
fashion. You shouldn't always
buy the most fashionable hat,
for instance. Buy, a hat for. the
kind of life you lead and the
kind of husband you have."
'Asked to elaborate on hats
and husbands, -M.. John : said
'Don't give a man an inferiority
complex with 'your hat."
"If a man is tired and doesn't
feel like dressing up to your
hat, he'll be uncomfortable in
a restaurant with you," he said.
"He may just want to be the
guy with the woman he loves,
not the guy with the woman
whose hat is attracting all the
attention."

"Gold Hats" in existence, are on

many, until March 11, according
to the German Tourist Informa

Speyer museum", another is from
the Germanic National Museum
in Nuremberg, and the other is
from the Louvre, and this ex

have been seen together.
. The pure gold "Gold Hats" are
highly ornamented and get their
name from their shape, similar
to a hat form with a rim. One,
discovered less than three years
ago near Nuremberg, has been
dated at approximately 1300
B.C., and was probably the cap;
of a pillar erected to the sun
god. The three pieces have re
