Monday, August 27, IS3B
Last Trinity Noo
To Be Given by
Ashland Myna Brunton
Hughes of San Francisco will
be the reader at the last "Trinity
Noon" reading hour in the Ore
gon Shakespearean Festival pro
gram ol special events on Wed
nesday. 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.

ber 3, Labor Day.
The program will include var

outlined. Plans for a large bar

was said, and plans drawn by
William Siebert for double kitch

The seminar, which lasted five
weeks, was a political science
course based on government in
action. Doors were opened for
the visiting teachers to a wide
variety of government agencies
where they were given a picture
of the work of those agencies,
how policy is determined and
how agencies operate. Eight
general subjects were covered
during the seminar, including
the role of the federal city, ma
king federal law, promoting
the general welfare, educating
and informing citizens, safe
guarding the national security,
participating in world affairs,
pushing back the frontiers of
knowledge (including govern
ment research activities) and
preserving and extending the na
tional heritage.
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. De
partment of state officials ex
plained the organization and
functions of the department, re
viewed the global situation and
presented information on the In
ternational Educational Ex
change program.
The group visited the Supreme
Court, District Court of Appeals
and Department of Justice; list
ened to broadcasts by the Voice
of America, visited the Pan-American
Union and attended its
summer concerts and lectures
and at the Pentagon military
experts discussed the salient as
pect of national defense.
The role of the national gov
ernment as sponsor of the most
extensive scientific research pro
gram in the world was illustrat
ed to seminar participants in
visits to the Atomic Energy com
mission, National Institutes of
Health, Agricultural Research
center, U. S. Naval Observatory,
National Bureau of Standards
and the Bureau of Census.
Weekly banquets were held at
which various government offic
ials spoke, and Mrs. Hopkins
presided at one of these. She

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.
