Potpourri
Only a very durable woman could stand being the First Lady
of Oregon. Mrs. Elmo Smith accompanied her husband to
the Rogue valley last week and survived in fact, seemed to en
joy at least eight functions, both social and political, in less than
48 hours. Seven were on Wednesday. That day Mrs. Smith went
to a breakfast, a coffee hoifr, a luncheon, a tea, a cocktail party, a
dinner and the opening play of the Oregon Shakespearean festi
val in Ashland.
Talking to Mrs. Smith at the home of Mrs. Carl Wimberly
early Wednesday morning, Potpourri began to worry for fear the
governor and his wife had failed to bring warm clothing for the
festival dinner and play, for the weather broadcasts were disheart
ening. But Mrs. Smith said she had been warned and would wear
the blue wool sweater suit she had on at the time, plus a warm
topcoat. The suit was a beautiful blue shade, trimmed with pearls
and embroidery, and worn with a small satin hat. As it turned
out, the suit and coat weren't enough for the cold and damp
weainer wnicn rtsniana sunerea Wednesday night, and during the
play Mrs. Smith was bundled in a pretty pink blanket provided by
Mrs. Lloyd Selby. ,
Potpourri found the governor's wife friendly and genuine
sounmng a woman wno is proud 01 ner husband and family and
enjoys talking about them. We learned that both the governor and
their 18-year-old son, Dennis, are flyers and that Dennis had eone
to Wichita, Kansas, last week to fly a Cessna back to Troutdale. He
will attend Willamette university in the fall.
All four Smiths like to shoot and Dennis at 15 competed in a
junior match during which he set a record for the 200-vard stand
ing event which still holds. Janice, the 13-year-old daughter, loves
to ride and has entered many junior horse show and rodeo events
at John Day, where the Smiths lived before Governor Patterson's
untimely death made them Oregon's official family overnight.
Mrs. Smith laughed heartily as she recounted how Janice, decid
ing the mane and tail of her sorrel horse would look much better
if somewhat lighter, made up a chlorine solution and proceeded to
bleach them. Janice attended St. Helen's hall in Portland last year
but win go to a balem school this fall.
When everyone commiserated with Mrs. Smith about the rug
ged schedule she faces this summer, she said she was looking for
ward to the whole campaign and told of some of the events thev
plan to attend. "I think we're going to practically every rodeo in
Oregon, she added.
Potpourri's schedule was almost as rugged at Mrs. Smith's last
week, and like her, we enjoyed it. The week started last Sunday
with a breakfast at the Lester Gilman home which was downright
fun. Potpourri and the young married (our assistant Sn charge of
fuchsia-watering, cake-baking and Shakespeare research) break
fasted on waffles, fresh fruit and syrup, and then wandered
through the patio, lath house and greenhouse and finally into the
living room where the Gilmans' small son, Dickie, introduced us
to Pete the parakeet.
Thereby hangs a tale. Pete worked his way out of the cage
when no one was looking and scuttled under the sofa. Dickie de
cided Pete must be rescued right then and before long everyone
in the room, including the sedate society editor of The Mail Trib
une, was down on the floor peering under furniture and giving ad
vice. Mr. Gilman and the Leo Widners (Widners were the honored
guests) were considerably startled to enter and find most of the
furniture in the middle of the room and everyone either crouched
on the floor or searching behind chairs and bookcases.
The hospitable Gilmans offered to let the guests fish in their
private pond, but we declined. Mr. Gilman said he stocked it with
bass and blue gill and Mr. Widner said that since both the Gilmans
and the bass ate the blue gills, the later must be practically ex
tinct by now.
Sue, the Gilman's teen-age daughter, was in Klamath Falls for
the junior rodeo but we saw, and admired, an enormous picnic
table which she made with the help of a school friend and which
the Gilmans call "Goliath." Goliath has about six or seven sides
and a "lazy susan" turning center with even a can improvised into
a vase for flowers.
Robbie Collins, festival board member, says he approved of
holding the opening night dinner in Lithia park, and after all
Robbie Is something of an authority on opening nights. Mr. C.
loves the theater and often attends opening night performances in
San Francisco, Los Angeles, Chicago and New York in his comings
and goings because of the lumber business. In fact, he admits to
owning some shares in a couple of Broadway shows, including .the
1956 version of New Faces. He was in New York for the Faces
opening and believes that T. C. Jones, who does impersonations in
the show, is a great performer. Jones was oft the Sullivan TV show
a short time ago.
Mr. Collins invited the drama editors of the Oregonian, the
Oregon Journal, Bill Dawkins and Potpourri to luncheon Friday
noon, along with the editorial wives from Portland. Arnold Marks
and Herbert Larson, who have been coming down to Ashland for
the opening of the festival for several years, are both devoted
fans and some fine festival conversation ensued. Both the Portland
reviewers believe that it is a mistake to know an actor or actress
personally; both said they regret meeting the players off stage or
even interviewing the big names when they come to Portland.
Both believe reviewers should write only from the standpoint of
what they see on stage.
"I once interviewed Susan Summers (not the right name we
don't want to get sued) and she looked terrible," sighed Mr. Larson.
"Her face looked like a beat up suit case. I wish I could remember
her as she looked in her wonderful movies."
Potpourri inquired about a Portland review printed some
years ago which said that a certain Shakespearean actress was at
her best in the fifth act of King Lear, when the only appearance
she had made in the aforesaid act was when she was carried in as
dead. Neither reviewer would admit to having written such a
thing, but as a matter of fact, many in the audience believed he
wasn't far wrong and wondered if the statement hadn't been the
tongue-in-cheek variety.
Sad Story (By Grapevine) Candidate Douglas McKay took va
cation instead of accepting invitation to opening night of Shake
spearean festival. Candidate Wayne Morse said "no McKay, then
no Morse." Life magazine then said "no candidates, no photogra
pher." Frustrated festival officials and fans see wonderful op
portunity for publicity fade away. No votes? O.S.

Dancers Return
From Los Angeles
Workshop Session
Mrs. Clifford Aldrich and a
group of her dance pupils have
returned home after attending
the annual convention of the
National Association of Dance
and Affiliated Artists held at the
Statler hotel in Los Angeles.
Mrs. Aldrich operates Miss Pat's
Dance studio in Medford.
The teacher was accompanied
by Miss Carol Jones, her assist
ant teacher here, Miss Sandra
Pemberton, Klamath Falls, who
studies with Miss Pat and teaches
in Klamath Falls; Miss Karen
Adele, who also studies with
Miss Pat and operates her own
studio in Yreka, Calif., Jo' Ann
Johnson, Karen Stelle, Martha
Wyatt, Marcia Isaacs and Glena
Hobbs.
Both teachers and pupils re
hearsed and danced several hours
each day during the convention,
and also went sight-seeing in
spare -hours. The group made the
trip down and return in the
Aidrich's Volkswagen bus, with
Mr. Aldrich as driver, and also
taking the trip was 7-year-old
Cherie Aldrich, the couple's
daughter.
The group crealed a minor
sensation in Los Angeles since
all the girls and Mrs. Aldrich
wore identical clothing for all
occasions, the wardrobes having
been designed by Mrs. Aldrich.
The dancers were the subject of
a column-long article by Muriel
Barnett of the Los Angeles Mirror-News.
The newspaper also
published pictures of the group
taken at the Statler and at Dis
neyland, a trip to that tourist
attraction having been arranged
by the newspaper.

attended the recent convention and workshop session of the Na
tional Association of Dance and Affiliated Artists at the Statler
hotel in Loi Anqeles. Miss Pat. who is Mrs. Clifford Aldrich, her
daughter Cherie and several pupils craaied a stir in the big city
because they dressed in identical clothing for all occasions.
Lighting Specialists
Giving Wiring Advice
When building a new home,
don't forget to provide for weath
erproof exterior outlets. You 11
appreciate them for garden and
holiday lighting.
A weatherproof outlet located
under the eaves at a rear corner
of the house is also a good in
vestment in safety and protec
tion. Use a 150-watt projector
floodlight to light driveway and
path from house to garage, light
ing specialists advise.
Hamburgers, steaks and bak
ed beans become .more pungent
and satiisfying when made with
coarse ground black pepper.

matoes with a mixture of cin
