The bear is Sleepy, a copyrighted costume character given life by Les Sears of San Diego, who is visiting Medford on behalf of the company for which he works, the TraveLodge corporation. It's a pure and simple publi city gag and attention-getter, Sears admits freely. But he says he has so much fun with his bear costume, with "Goldi locks," the life-size rag doll with which he dances, and with the kids who flock around him, that it's grown to be more than just a gimmick. Sears (as "Sleepy") was mak ing the rounds this afternoon, and will do so again tomorrow. And he'll also tell you about the parades he's marched in, the beauty contests he's enlivened, the children's hospitals he's visit ed mostly for fun, but with a little plug for his motel chain on the side. His visit to Medford is in ad vance of the Sept. 11 opening of a Trave Lodge here, at 722 North Riverside ave., to be oper ated by Mr. and Mrs. Frank Keeler. The motel is the first of the chain in Oregon, but five others will be built soon under the company's policy of 50-50 ownership with the local mana gers. There are 56 in Caifornia, and others in Washington and more going up in Arizona and Mexico. Sears hopes, again as "Sleepy," to be back in time for the motel opening but he may be too busy opening the Cali fornia State fair, he said. Friday.

Night, 10:30 for Dance Music from Dreamland Horror Production Scheduled Tonight Ashland All doctors and nurses planning to attend the Oregon Shakespearean festi val's performance of "Titus Antronicus" this evening are requested by festival officials to report seat numbers at the box office. William Pal ton, general manager, says they may be needed in the theatra this eve ning and he declares this is no publicity gag. As proof, he points out that one member of the cast tainted at the dress rehearsal last eve ning, and others came close to doing so. "Titus" was popular in Shakespeare's time, but Eliza bethans were notoriously ad dicted to horror of the most overt kind. The play, rarely done in modern limes, is con sidered one of the most horror ridden ever written. Don Gunderson will appear in the title role and William Oyler as Aaron the Moor. "Titus" plays for the second and last time Wednesday, Aug. 29.
