Theater Thoughts
rippn listeninp- to second-hand reports
of a continuing argument among afficionados of the
theater as to what is, or should be, the prime purpose
of the "live" stage.
Ono cfrinnl hn it that trip most imDortant function
is to "educate," to inform,
other believes trie tneater must, nrsi 01 an, entertain.
We take the stand that both are right.
FOR it is a rare vehicle of pure entertainment that
can be any good at all without some sort of mean
ing or message however trivial.
And it is a certainty that the most message-laden
play is foredoomed unless it also entertains.
The best plays whether they be musicals, trag
edies, comedies, farces are a skilled blehding of con
tent and manner. In this case, it is both WHAT is said
and HOW it is said that are important.
SOUTHERN Oregon is not the most theater-conscious
community in the world but neither is it de
ficient in that quality. The community theater group,
the Footlighters, while never affluent and seldom
strong, does exert a considerable influence.
And the annual Oregon Shakespearean Festival
at Ashland, while it owes much to the climate of near
by Southern Oregon college, could not have survived
and flourished without the patronage, the assistance,
the hard work of residents of the area who have done
what they have done purely because they want to;
because they feel that the theater is a living and vital
and important part of their environment.
DICHARD Graham, an
AV sional actor and director and a veteran of a num
ber of festivals, some time ago gave a talk to the
Footlighters in which he voiced some thought-provoking
views about the amateur stage. We quote ex
cerpts :
A community theater can be either negative or positive
in relation to its community. It can be a recipient, with all
the effort and interest flowing toward it, or it can be a
source, channeling that effort and interest into a positive
power, serving and benefitting the community of which it
is a part.
And here is why. First of all, the theater is the most
moral of all the arts. True, actors may be bohemian the art
of the theater cannot be. For it is an absolutely inflexible
rule of the dramatic art that two things must be present in
the course of any play. First, the force of evil must be over
come by the forces of good, and second, the hero or pro
tagonist must undergo an experience of moral growth or
ethical improvement.
Now I don't mean to imply that the theater exists for
the purpose of moral or ethical elevation. The theater's pri
mary reason for existence is entertainment of its audience.
And it is the audience which imposes these moral princi
ples upon the theater, for the audience refused to be enter
tained by the triumph of evil or by the debasement of a
soul.
In the same way, the theater is the most austere of the
arts. For it requires that everything that is displayed upon
the stage be of immediate and pertinent significance to the
audience, and that all meaningless embellishment be
stripped away. And for that to be true, it must be the most
disciplined of the arts. This is not the autocratic discipline
that is imposed from above. That may achieve order, but
it won't achieve art. The discipline which the theater re
quires is of the self-imposed variety, the subordination of
one's individual efforts and desires to the realization of the
whole, so the audience may see an integrated picture, un
marred by vagrant inconsequentialities.
On either side of the curtain, the potentialities are in
herent in community theater to make a positive contribu
tion to the citizenship of the community, giving thoughtful
entertainment to its audience, and providing the satisfac
tions of group effort for its practitioners. And that curtain
is no iron curtain, for one may pass from one side to the
other of it at will.
A CTIVE participation,
tion, in the living theater, is not for everyone.
But we think Graham effectively points the way
for those who are searching for a means of entertain
ment or self expression, and who are willing to under
go the rigors and trials of
scenes, or in the glare of the
seats out front. b.A.

Matter Of FaCt By Jo and Stewart Alsop
ADLAI WANTS TO WIN
Chicago The cronies and ad
visers of Adlai Stevenson are
talking a lot of rather transpar
ent nonsense about "the new
"Stev enson."
This new Ste
venson is sup
posed to be an
earthy fellow,
who has put
aside the es
sayist's quill
pen for the
d e m a g ogue's
Allegedly, he adores slapping
backs, revels in baby-kissing,
and enjoys nothing more than
endlessly wringing the horny
hands of the great unwashed.
His favorite parties are clam
bakes and fish fries. His favorite
beverage is bourbon and branch.
His favorite
author is Dale
Carnegie.
All this, of
course, is just
not so. But the
nonsense about
the new Ste
venson ob
scures the hard
fact that in a
quiet different
Stewart Usop
way, there really is a new Ste
venson. Stevenson today is a
man who wants to win. He want
ed to win the Democratic nomi
nation, and staged a drive for it
that would have done credit to
Thomas E. Dewey in the high
days of ! his gimlet-eyed ambi
tion, when he won the Repub
lican nomination from Robert
A. Taft in 1948.
A ND Stevenson not only want
ed to win the nomination.
He wants above all to win the
election from Dwight D. Eisen
hower. He longs to trounce the
Republicans. He longs to show
his critics that he too can be a
popular candidate. Above all,
although he stiU has a tendency
to say that the presidency should
seek the man, he eagerly longs
to be President and is busily
seeking the presidency.
In all these ways, the Steven
son of 1956 is radically different
from the Stevenson of 1952.
Then he very much did not want
the nomination. None of the
politicians really believed in his
sincerity, but his reluctance to
accept was deeply sincere. Fur
thermore, he really did not
much want to be elected. He
thought, along with a lot of
other Americans, that his own
party was suffering from hav
ing been in office too long, and
his advisers had a desperate
time preventing him from say
ing so, in his reflective, blurt
ing way, on the public platform.
yHIS time, on the contrary, he
thought himself the best of
the Democratic party's available
candidates. Furthermore, he is
also firmly convinced that
Dwight Eisenhower has made a
dangerously inadequate presi
dent, and he is sure he would
do a better job. And finally,
and perhaps most important,
the harsh experiences of politics
on a national scale, and particu
larly his defeat in the Minne
sota primary, have persuaded
him that his old way of doing
things had its defects as well as
its virtues.
These changes in Stevenson
do not mean, naturally, that the
essential character of the man
has changed. Men do not change
their essential characters in
their mid-fifties. Nor does the
change in Stevenson mean that
he will abandon all those small
quirks and mannerisms that
tend to drive the professional
politicians almost crazy. Men do
not change easily their manner-
ims, either, when they are well
along in middle age.
VTO DOUBT he will go oa as
before, fascinated by words
as no American politician has
been since Woodrow Wilson. No
doubt he will continue to use
phrases like "the democratic
dialogue" and "the diminish-
ment of the Presidency," which
mean a lot to him but very little
to the electorate. Perhaps, too,
he will continue to make his
smaU, funny, but non-vote get
ting self - deprecatory jokes,
which his advisers have fruit
lessly pleaded with him to sup
press. Perhaps he will even con
tinue to reject the use of the
teleprompter, reading his
speeches in the old-fashioned
way, and so presenting the na
enhower and his political as
sociates.
Former President Harry S.
Truman wound it up with some
harder words, such as racket
teers. Mr. Eisenhower is not
drawn to Mr. Truman much even
when he is silent. It is a notable
fact that the present president of
the United States has never
sought the advice and counsel
of the former president nor
sought his by-your-leave for
such tinkering as was undertak
en with Truman administration
policies. Mr. Truman resents that
Mr. Eisenhower resents Mr. Tru
man. President Arrives Tuesday
All of this should lead to
some interesting talk when the
tional television audience with
an inspiring panorama of his
gleaming, foreshortened bald
spot.
But these things are trifles.
What matters, first of all, is that
with the help of James A. Finne
gan, he can now be counted on
to run a hard-headed, strictly
professional campaign, in sharp
est contrast with the egghead-infested
shambles of 1952.
What matters second is that
he is willing and even eager to
spare no effort in the campaign.
The whole theme of the Steven
son campaign, in fact, is to be
the people's choice seeking out
the people wherever they are.
While the President makes his
six or eight television speeches,
Stevenson is to be in almost
perpetual motion, beating the
bushes for votes in every bosky
dell and back alley where votes
may be concealed. The idea, in
fact, is to present a contrast be
tween the perspiring, energetic
and vital Stevenson and Presi
dent Eisenhower, White House
bound by his illnesses, with
lingering doubt about his health
always hanging over him.
TONALLY, Stevenson has also
- realized the great truth that
a politician does not become a
teacher until he is in office. He
no longer wants to lecture the
people on what he thinks they
ought to hear. He is desperately
anxious to talk to the people
about the problems that matter
to them. And he has already
shown he can do it, in Califor
nia for instance.
Altogether, this very able,
very shrewd, exceedingly cour
ageous and honorable man has
learned an enormous amount
about the politician's trade. He
does not have much time to put
himself across. But the Demo
cratic leaders, who think Ste
venson cannot put himself
across, like those described in
the last report in this space, may
still be due for a big surprise.

In the Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS
As everyone knows, the big
issue in Chicago was what to do
about civil rights. It came to a
head when the report of the res
olutions committee (the plat
form) came to the convention
floor.
In the debate that ensued, two
California men summarized quite
accurately the political issues
that were involved.
State Senator Richard Rich
ards of Los Angeles, who is the
Democratic candidate for U.S.
senator from California, urged
acceptance of a minority report
of the resolutions committee that
called for a stronger platform
plank on the controversial racial
question. He shouted: "We Dem
ocrats owe it to our people NEV
ER TO EQUIVOCATE."
In supporting the stronger
plank, he was looking at the
Northern colored vote and esti
mating that it would offset po
tential losses in the South. It
must be assumed that he also fig
ured the stronger plank would
get him more votes in Los Angel
es. piCHARDS was followed im-
mediately in the debate by
Congressman John E. Moss, Jr.,
of Sacramento, who supported
the majority report (the so-called
"weaker" one.) He said: "The job
of the Democratic delegates here
in Chicago is to UNIFY A PAR
TY AND ELECT A PRESI
DENT." He was looking at the South
and estimating that it will be
easier to win if the South is held
in line by means of a milder civil
rights platform plank. He is in
congress and wants to stay there
and wants to be on the majority
side (as do all members of con
gress.) There you have the POLITICS
of this civil rights platform bat
tle. T THINK we might as well be
blunt about this issue of civil
rights that threatened for a while
to rend asunder a Democratic
national convention whose dele
gates want above everything else
to WIN THE ELECTION THIS
FALL.
Full equality of citizenship in
America is eventually inevitable.
That was proved in the bloody
test tube of the last two wars.
All reasonable citizens must
agree that if a colored boy is fit
to die in a foxhole beside a white
boy he is fit to sit in school be
side a white boy.
The real issue is whether to
try to FORCE COMPLIANCE
IMMEDIATELY or to take time
enough to permit tolerance and
basic human decency to bring
about that which is inevitable
anyway.
NEARLY a century ago, we
made a tragic and awful mis
take. The mistake was the War
between the States. It cost mil-
the will of the people.
Thus the Collis Huntington
"friendly S. P." regime sets it
self up as superior to and inde
pendent of the U. S. Govern
ment, and the people of south
ern Oregon. Collis Huntington
said: "Whoever I bribe I make
forever my slave."
The last nine lines of the Mail
Tribune Aug. 5 editorial, "The
People Should Rule," covers
this situation. Boiled down it
is that controlling bodies must
be of individuals not under obli
gation to politicians but to the
people. And this should apply
to America's forests and all
other natural resources.

DEMOCRATIC PROSPECTS 1
As of Friday morning, the
story of the convention has
turned, I think, on the rise of
Stevenson and his acceptance as
the leader of
the party.
Since his vic
tory in the
California pri
mary he has
been, to be
sure, almost
certain of the
n o m i n ation.
But this did
Walter LIDrjminn not mean
that he had actually been ac
cepted by all the main factions
of which the party is composed
that is to say. for example.
by the far South as well as by
the moderate South, by the
Northern blocks, and by what
remained of Truman's profes
sional political following.
It was not until this week
in Chicago that his party lead
ership was put to the final test.
The proof that he passed the
test successfully is that he was
nominated by an overwhelming
majority without having to make
any deals, without having to buy
off any of his rivals and oppon
ents. e
TTE did not, however, clinch
his victory until Wednesday,
which was the day when the
agreement on civil rights was
reached and when all serious
opposition to his nomination
melted away. This sequence of
events has considerable signific
ance. While Stevenson emerged
from the convention as the ac
cepted leader of the party, he
did not enter the convention in
that role. A week ago the most
powerful Democrat was believ
ed to be ex-President Truman,
and while the odds were on Ste
venson to be nominated, the
Convention until then was not
a Stevenson show, and it did not
have the imprint of his personal
leadership.
Eisenhower Due in
5F on Tuesday
Washington (U.R) Presi
dent Eisenhower plans to fly to
San Francisco Tuesday, a day
earlier than originally announc
ed, to " visit and meet with
delegates to the Republican Na
tional convention.
There was some speculation
that Mr. Eisenhower wanted to
sound out the delegates on the
controversial GOP vice presi
dential nomination.
But an authoritative source
said the President merely felt
his arrival on Wednesday "after
it was all over" would make him
"almost isolated" from the con
vention. .
"He just wanted to be there,
to get the feel of it and meet
the people," the source said.
White House News Secretary
James C. Hagerty made public
the President's decision to leave
a day early at a specially-called
news conference Sunday. He said
Mr. Eisenhower will leave here
at noon Tuesday aboard his
plane, the Columbine III, and
arrive in San Francisco at 6:30
p.m. (PST).
lions of lives. It rent our country
asunder.
We made this mistake because
hotheads couldn't wait for toler

solve this problem of civil rights.
They insisted on forcing a solu
tion immediately.
We mustn't make that mistake
again.

see
VFHAT can be said at this time
" about Stevenson's prospects?
I would say that while the odds
are against him, there will be a
real contest and the result is by
no means a sure thing. That is
because the Democratic party,
since it will be united on the
Presidency, is a very strong
party. There is every reason to
think, in view of the elections
that have been held since 1952,
that Eisenhower, only when he
is himself a candidate, is strong
er than .the Democrats. That is
to say that when Eisenhower is
not a candidate as in the
Congressional, State and local
elections there is a substan
tial Democratic majority.
If this is correct, then, though
the odds now favor Eisenhower
against Stevenson, the Republi
can position is fragile. For it
depends upon Eisenhower per
sonally on the fact that there
is a big fraction of Democratic
and independent voters who ex
pect to vote for Eisenhower but
are not Republicans. The ques
tion, therefore, is whether Stev
enson can win these Eisenhower
voters away from the Republi
can Presidential ticket.
THE campaign will show
whether hA ran tin thie Rut
it is clear today that he is far
and away the Democrat who has
the best chance of doing it. That
is because a voter who has been
for Eisenhower can turn to Stev
enson without feeling he has
turned his 'jack upon himself,
and made his own past look fool
ish. It would be impossible, for
example, for an Eisenhower
Democrat to come back to being
a Truman Democrat, or for that
matter, a Harriman Democrat.
But with Stevenson he would
feel at home.
All of this is not because a
Stevenson administration would
be a carbon copy of the Eisen
hower administration. Far from
! it. What it means is that Eisen
hower and Stevenson have this
in common, that they are heal
ers and not dividers, and that
they bring peace.
This is the magic, in my view,
which has attracted so many
Democrats and so many inde
pendents to Eisenhower.

GEO. N. TAYLOR
T was one of three wives and
each of us cost our man 20
cows or more. We worked in the
fields as farm
hands and it
was hoped we
would give
birth to girl
babies that
would in time
be sold. On a
day there came
In on us a
woman who
was different
She had no
smutty stories or vile speech.
Her face was all aglow and
when I asked her how she came
to be like that, she said that she
was a Christian. I had never
heard a missionary or one of
our African preachers. This
African woman taught me."
Sum It Up True. Christ
came to seek and to save that
which was lost. Many a soul is
brought into the light and
eternal life by you who have
P-F-O-H. Yes, Power From On
High. -
