Prince Sighs Over Plans For Wedding By WILBUR G. LANDREY United Press Correspondent Paris (U.R) Modest Prince Rainier III of Monaco sighed today and said he would much prefer to slip away quietly and marry Grace Kelly without fan fare. He said he imagined he would wish so even more as their April 18-19 wedding dates ap proach. "Yes, I certainly do," the tired prince said with a sigh as he thought about it. He leaned back in the Louis XV chair in his office at the Monacan legation In Paris. "As the days go by, I expect I'll wish it even more, with the arrangements to complete." Offering cigarets all around and lighting them from a gold plated lighter, the prince said he had no idea he would marry the blonde movie star when he first met her for a few minutes last May. They met when Miss Kelly went to his palace in Monaco to tour the building and have her picture taken there. T know there have been a lot of reports about secret meet ing and all that," the prince said with a wry grimace. "But as I believe you Americans say, 'That's a lot of baloney.' " He added: "I had no idea at all when I met her that first time." He said he had "no idea of proposing" when he went to the United States late last year. "I've tried to deny those sto ries that I arrived with the rings in my pocket." He said he had helped Miss Kelly's aunt and uncle get a table for party once, and he wanted to see them again when he visited the United States. He said he and Miss Kelly "met again, like that, through them." "Well, I don't have xo tell vou." he said, his voice trailing off. "I suDDOse it was that Christ mas evening when I went to the Kelly home and there met Miss Kellv again." What ttracted him most to her? "She's even more gracious m private life than you see her on the screen," the prince said, thoughtfully choosing his words "But more than that, the TTweinl is translated into a moral beauty. It's difficult to talk about. I feel it more than I can talk about it."

Your Repertoire Of Ballet Said Varied The San Francisco Ballet com pany will present classic, dra matic and humorous program numbers when it appears in the valley next month. The company is scheduled for performances in Ashland April 12 and in Med ford April 13, with the latter performance to be at Hedrick Junior High school. Nancy Johnson and Sally Bailey, ballerinas who premiered "Con Amore," hit comic ballet when it first played New York City, will head the list of danc ers. The first time "Con Amore" was danced in San Francisco, an article about it in' Newsweek Magazine caused the New York City Ballet company to request that the entire production, in cluding the two ballerinas, be brought to New York. "Con Amore," with music by Rossini and choreography by Lew Christensen, is danced in three scenes which portray love as it was frequently depicted in the 19th century European en gravings. "Jinx" and "Filling Station" are other ballets created by Mr. Christensen, director of the com pany, which have gone into in ternational repertoires. Scene and costume designers as well as musicians collaborate on the spectacles in which the dancers are to be seen. Eugene Berman, Paul Cadmus, Leonard Weisgard, E'steban Frances and Dorothea Tanning have created some of the sets. Music by Rossini, Mozart, Ben jamin Britten, Bach and Virgil Thompson contributes part of the musical library for the repertory. Earl Murray, conductor of the San Francisco Symphony or chestra, is musical director for the ballet organization. Tickets are now on sale at Swems, Purucker's and the Med ford Pharmacy.
