    TWO MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE
owwrtt
Annual Latin Club Banquet
Held Amidst Roman Splendor
An onlooker at the Latin
Club banquet at Medford Senior
High school last Thursday eve
ning, March 22, would have
been impressed with the ele
gance of classical costumes and
fre transformation of the senior
high school cafeteria into a spa
cious Roman dining hall. The
guests wore long draped attire,
with satin and velvet wraps.
Contrasting with the elegance
of the Quests were the appro
priates scant costumes of the
slaves, who scurried in quick
obedience to the many calls
which they received.
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."

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

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.
