August 29 in Trinity hall, Ashland. The noon reading hours are sponsored by Beta Sigma Phi, and members serve coffee and cakes before the reading begins. For the benefit of the sorority's scholarship fund and funds for the Festival library collection, an admission fee of fifty cents is charged. Miss Hughes is a member of the Playhouse Repertory com pany, one of the three leading semi - professional companies in San Francisco. She is an actress and reader of stimulating verve and power, and has appeared in both classic and modern roles. The actress is remembered in the Bay area for performances in Etherege's "Man of Mode, "The Trojan Woman" of Euri pedes, Gide's "Oedipus," Eliot's "Cocktail Party" and "Confiden tial Clerk," among many others. Miss Hughes is one of the founding governors of Drama lists' Alliance, a member of the executive committee of ANTA Regional Council Z (California and Nevada) and a leading fig ure in educational and speech associations. She is a warm friend, to the Ashland Shake spearean festival, having attend ed every season since her first visit in 1949, and brings the en richment of festival interpreta tion to her students in English and drama at- Miss Burke's school in San Francisco. Two years ago her freshman class built models of the Elizabethan theatre as projects, and the most complete and correct of these was presented to the Ashland Public library, where it is con stantly on display in connection with the festival collection of rare books on the Tudor period. The play to be read by Miss Hughes, in a version shortened for presentation within the hour, is "Second Best Bed," by N. Richard Nash, now well known as author of "The Young and Fair," "The Jaguar," and "The Rainmaker." The comedy con cerns the uneasy affection exist ing through trial and error, be tween Shakespeare and his wife Ann Hathaway to whom in his will he left his second-best bed. Written for the Lunts, the piece has delightful comic situations and zestful dialogue. It has not been published but it was brought to Broadway by Ruth Chatterton a few years ago, and was given in London as a part of coronation festivities for Eliz abeth II. Mr. Nash contributed the comedy to the competitions of Dramatists' Alliance before these successes and before writ-' ing his well known plays; he has ; stated definitely that it was the i sympathetic reception and ap- preciation of his play by the Al-1 liance which kept him writing, j at a time when he had almost n Program Myrna' Hughes given up hope of maintaining himself as a dramatist. As a glee ful view of Shakespeare's pri vate affairs, the comedy is gaily suitable for reading among festi val events. One-Yard Aprons Cock One J" 13 mj MEDIUM Thrifty! Jiffy! Sew-easy!

Participants in . the program attended sessions of the 84th congress, met with individual representatives and senators, sat in on committee hearings and heard spokesmen of various in terest groups discuss lobbying and its impact on legislation. Representatives of party organ izations brought the visiting tea chers up-to-date on current aims and activities of the two major parties. , Special attention was given during the seminar to the field of international affairs.

MAIL COUPON LADY ad visor gives fed tfor- KOtrOft. f - Pttf 1 few Ml u liL TODAY -1 ' i! t 1 1 Ashland A large and inter ested audience attended the con cert given at the Oregon Shake spearean festival shell here yes terday afternoon by the Samuel Pepys Recorder Consort of Los Angeles. It was the last in the annual series of Sunday after noon concerts presented as part of the festival program. The recorder, wind instru ment widely used in the Eliza bethan period, is returning to favor. Many small groups have been organized throughout this nation and elsewhere to study the recorder and to play for en tertainment and recreation. The Samuel Pepys group is one of these and because one of its members, Tom Cooke, has long been Interested in the Ashland festival and supports the music program with financial grants. 11 members made the trip north at their own expense to give yesterday's concert. Dr. Pauline Alderman, anoth er festival patron who has visit ed here many times in the past, announced the program and spoke concerning the instrument, the compositions played and the composers. The first four num bers were sacred music of the Renaissance by Orlando di Las so, Gallus Dressier and William Byrd, and were played by the entire group made up of two soprano instruments, four altos, three tenor and two bass re corders. , The second group was Eng lish music composed before Shakespeare. Lambert Marks, playing the tenor recorder, pre sented an English dance from a manuscript in the British Mu seum, with Dr. Byron Arnold accompanying on a small drum. Mrs. Shirley Robbins was vocal soloist for two numbers com posed by John Dunstable, "Ave Maris Stella" and "My Love She Mourneth for Me" by the same musician. Mrs. Robbins' sweet soprano voice blends well with the soft notes of the re corder and is well suited to the gentle Elizabethan tunes. Four Elizabethan dance com positions by John Dowland and William Brade were played by the group as a whole. Of spe cial interest were numbers which combined the recorder and spinet. Lili Lampl, playing the soprano recorder, and Frances Wishard. using a tiny instru ment which was the ancestor of the modern piano and which in Elizabethan times was known as an octavina or virginal, play ed a group of rour dances by Michael Praetorious. Mrs. Robbins, using an alto recorder, and Josephine Siple, mentary school this year. She will live at 1222Vi Cota street in that city. playing a spinet of a later date in the evolution of the instru ment, played the four move ments of "Sonata in B Flat" by Georg Phillip Telemann, con temporary of Bach. These were particularly well received by the audience. Mrs. Robbins appeared again as soloist for a group of Shake spearean songs which included "Greensleeves," considered the "theme song" of the Ashland festival, "Willow, Willow. Wil low" and 'When That I Was a Little Tiny Boy" by Joseph Vernon. Recorder numbers also includ ed the 17th century number, "Ricercare" by Palestrina and the closing selection, which was "Three Divertimento Move ments" by Mozart, whose works are much used by recorder en sembles. Serving as conductors were Mrs. Wishard. Dr. Arnold and Richard Betterldge. Other mem bers of the group are Dr. Alder man, Barbara Betleridge. Fran ces Brockmeier, who made the trip north in spite of a heavy cast on a broken ankle, Mr. Cooke, and his wife, Meryl, Mrs. Lampl, Mr. Marks and Julia Overshiner. In response to an invitation from the stage by Dr. Alderman, many from the audience inspect ed the instruments and talked with the musicians after the con cert. They were guests in the home of Bernard Windt, music director of the festival, and his family following the concert, with the Windts serving dinner for the group.
