Bard's Heyday Sunday in
Ashland Festival Theatre
Ashland Merrie olde England I games as skittles, darts and horse-
comes to Ashland Sunday eve-i
ning for the seventh annual i
Bard's Heyday, to be held at the
Shakespearean Festival theater
from 5 till 9 p.m. i
One of the special events of
the Heyday will be Will Kempe :
and his troupe of morris daric-j
ers. Will (alias Art Silvai im-i
ported the morris dancers from i
tiie near and far corners of the ,
country. I
According to custom, the half-l
dozen dancers were carefully I
chosen and subjected to vigor
ous training for this event. Mor
ris dance tradition also calls for
brilliantly-colored costumes with
pads of little bells strapped to
tiie dancers' legs. The dance step
is designed to make the moit of
the rhythmic jingling of the
bells. Mr. Kempe stated that the
ringing of the bells, combined
with the patter of the feel, may
have been intended to wake up
the earth spirit during spring
festival rites. In any case, it is
agreed that the dance is imbued
with masic. and brings good luck
to the entertainers and the en-;
tertained. I
Morris dancers in merrie olde
England appeared at all of the i
village pageants and revels, and j
would also travel to compete j
with the dancers of other vil
lages. The dancers, then and
now. are accompanied by the
hobby horse, maid marian. the
fool, and the fife player. At Sun
day's Heyday, Will Kempe's
morris dancers will perform sev
eral times during tne course of
the evening. The troupe includes
Michael F. Kasdan, David
O'Brien, Ted van Griethuysen,
Phil Jacobus, Hugh Wilson and
Mr. Kempe.
The Heyday will feature oth
er events in addition to the mor
ris dancers. Family fun is the
keynote, with contests for the
youngsters and such family
racing. Entertainment features
fortune teller, a Punch and Judy
show, and the annual pantomime
contest for members of the festi
val company. The performing
bear remains shrouded in mys
tery, and promises to be one of
the more startling events of the
Heyday.
Dr. Margery Bailey will again
offer the popular Ashland
Broadsheets, the hand-lettered
ballads of this season's plays.
Elizabethan pie-men will offer
their wares of pastries, saffron j
bread, and tarts. Members of

fer coffee and soft drinks.

Gold Petticoats
On Sale For $50;
Will Wash Iron
New York -;U.R' There's
gold in them thar frills:
The newest lingerie puts wom
en back on the gold standard,
with gold embroidery, gold sari
prints, gold piping, gold metallic I
threads, and even 24-carat gold !
cloth used for everything from '
petticoats to peignoirs.
Nylon tricots and sheers pro
vide" the background for most of
the season's opulence in lingerie.
But one manufacturer, Schiller
Brothers, New York, uses an ace
tate tricot with 24-carat coating
sprayed on. The firm uses the
cloth of gold for petticoats
sleek fitting, non-tarnishable and
washable. Some are trimmed
with rhinestones, others with
lace of gold.
The price range for the gleam
ing fashions is wide, depending
on whether the gold is real or
simulated. A petticoat with simu
lated gold applique sells for as
low as S6: that real gold petti
coat for S50; some of the dressier
gown and peignoir combinations
for as high as $175.
But all that glitters is not gold.
Some of it is silver, with petti
coats of acetate, coated with the
metal.
Whv all this opurence?
"Well," said Ralph Schiller,
"we're just answering the wom
an's demand for luxury. Cloth of
gold is just one way. We're also
trimming petticoats with silver
blu and ranch mink."
Advice on care of the metallics
comes from the Cleanliness bu
reau, the home service depart
ment of the soap and glycerine
producers.
Wash them by hand in luke
warm soap or detergent suds and
rinses, taking care not to twist,
rub or wring the garment. After
the last rinse, hang to drip dry.
Use shaped hangers for robes,
and hang petticoats from clamp
hangers. Generally, the bureau
said, these fabrics need no iron
ing. But if a touch-up is desired,
use a cool iron on the wrong side
of the fabric.
Use of Nylon Jersey
Is Topic for Study
Champaign. 111. (U.P.i The
use of nylon jersey for home
sewing isn't as difficult as it
was long considered, a Univer
sity of Illinois study has shown.
The study, made by graduate
student Virgene Griffin, indi
cates that with time and patience
and the necessary skills and
techniques in handling the fabric
and machine, nylon jersey can
be worked in tiie home.
Simple patterns are a requi
site, however patterns with
few scams, no pockets or button
holes and few details. Darts and
tucks also should be avoided.

Teacher Shortage
Could Be Eased
By College Women
Chicago U.R; A vast reser
voir of college-trained house
wives should be tapped to help
ease the teacher shortage, says
a U.S. Labor Department official.
Mrs. Alice K. Leopold, assist
ant to the Secretary of Labor,
said here recently that there are
at least half a million women
unemployed less than 55 years
old, with no children under five,
who are college graduates.
She urged members of the
American Association of Univer
sity Women to encourage such
women in their own communi
ties to earn techers' certificates.
"Unless we increase the num
ber of teachers available, we are
likely to find our schools
manned by custodians instead of
teachers." Mrs. Leopold said.

Union Dispute
Cancels Opera
New York (U.Rl The Metro
politan Opera association an
nounced Tuesday night that it
has cancelled its 1956-57 season
because of a dispute with a
union over a double-duty union
member.
The cancellation, which is not
irrevocable and may be re
versed, is the second in the his
tory of the "Met." The Metro
politan cancelled its 1948 season
after a dispute with a union but
later reconsidered and the sea
son opened three weeks late.
The dispute leading to Mon
day night's announcement cen
tered over Robert Herman, a
Met stage director who is the
son of former Brooklyn Dodger
baseball playe Babe Herman.
Herman, 30. is a member of
the union involved, the' Ameri
can Guild of Musical Artists.
The union said that he served as
a secretary to the management
during earlier negotiations be
tween the opera association and
the union. It objected to his dou
ble duty and threatened during
the negotiations to press charges
against him.
The Met said it would cancel
the season unless the union sign
ed a contract for the coming
season and an agreement not to
press charges against Herman.
The AGMA agreed Monday
night not to press the charges
but refused to sign the agree
ment "at once" and the Met an
nounced the cancellation.
On TKe Side ByE.V.Durling
(Distributed fay King Futures Smdicite, Inc.)
Insofar as w ar is concerned. . er. B.C. That i one of mv favnr-
Switzerland is the best prepared
nation in the world. Every Swiss
is furnished a rifle by the gov
ernment plus 24 rounds of am
muntion. The Swiss citizen keeps
his rifle ready and his powder
dry and also has handy full bat
tle dress and a two-day ration of
food. Owing to the mountainous
terrain of the country, even an
atomic bomb attack would not
immediately knock out the
Swiss. In times of peace the
Swiss have always prepared for
war. And so, what? They have
had peace for centuries.
Record
It is not always a good sign
when an unusual number of
world's records are broken at a
thoroughbred race track. It is, at
times, an indication of a so-called
"paste board track." That is,
one of an unusually hard sur
face. At Juarez. Mexico, some
years ago a horse named Iron
Mask broke the six furlong
world's record carrying a bur
den of 169 pounds. The Juarez
course was composed of hard
clay. Many horses break down
on "paste board tracks." They
suffer from a condition similar
to that of the truck horses refer
red to in the immortal lines:
It isn't the "eavy 'aulin'what
"urts the 'orses 'oofs.
It's the 'ammer, 'ammcr on the
'ard 'ighway.
Long Run
What is the world's record for
a long run of a regular radio
program? The program called
"The Children's Hour" on the
British radio has been running
regularly since 1922. That is, for
34 years. Can you top it?
Asking
Queries from clients. Q. Were
you ever a drama critic? A. I
was a film critic and was occas
ionally called upon to review a
legitimate stage play. That was
when there were several open
ings on the same night. Inciden
tally, one night, Dec. 26, 1927, 11
legitimate stage plays opened on
Broadway and only one turned
out to be a success. That was the
play titled "Excess Baggage" by
Jack MacGowan.
Across Board
Am asked if any race track in
the U.S.A. offers a ?3 "across
the board," straight, place and
show ticket. None I know of.
However, I seem to recall pur
chasing such a ticket at a track
in the beautiful city of Vancouv-
ite places. It is the birthplace of
many glamorous females. As for
example, Yvonne De Carlo. Inci
dentally it was in Vancouver in
1910 that Victor McLaglen, then
a heavyweight boxer, fought a
six round draw with the great
Jack Johnson.
Passing By
Frances Starr. Distinguished
and brilliant lady of the theatre.
Has been on the stage since the
age of 15. First attracted favor
able attention as a member of
celebrated Alcazar theatre stock
company in San Francisco. Scor
ed her first hit in that highly dra
matic vehicle titled "The Easiest
Way."
Over There
There is no automobile speed
limit in Rome, Italy, and it is
against the law to blow an auto
horn. What worried me last time
I was there was when a taxi driv- '
er, proceeding at high speed, ap- -proached
an intersection without ;
blowing the horn. Boy, that can
really be hard on the nerves un
til you get used to it. j
Baby Mine
It was Marguerite Clark who ;
was featured in the play titled '
"Baby Mine." Marguerite later i
became the countrys' most popu
lar feminine film star. She retir
ed at the very peak of her car
eer to marry a New Orleans man.
Marguerite, a petite type, was a 1
brilliant actress and although
very pretty was not dependent
on her shape or looks for her re
markable success. When she re
tired from the screen she was re
ceiving a salary higher than that
of Mary Pickford, who was a
contemporary star.
Asides
The girls with the most beau
tiful legs in the world are the
British beauties. Most of them
are also long limbed. That's why
they make the best show girls
and can-can dancers . . . The mo
dern baseball fan is very poorly
informed as to the game. Most of
todays' diamond fans can't even
tell you how much a baseball
weighs. How about you?
