Newspaper Page Text. TWO MEDrORp (OREGON) Lectures To Be Held o In Ashland Ashland Dr. .Margery Bailey, director of the Institute of Re naissance Studies, the educa tional department of the Ore gon Shakespearean festival, has announced two special events for this week, both open to the public at a charge of 50 cents. Wednesday, August 21, the fourth of the Trinity noon lec tures will take place at Trinity hall in Ashland. James Sandoe will read Marlowe's "Tragical History of Dr. Faustus." Sandoe, director of this year's Festival presentations of "Othello" and "Two Gentlemen of Verona," is professor of humanities and purchasing librarian at the Uni versity of Colorado. - He is also widely known as an anthologist and critic for the New York Herald Tribune in the field of crime fiction. In his sev enth season with the Festival, he has directed many of its most admired productions, including "Antony and Cleopatra," Rich ard II," "Measure for Measure," "A Midsummer Night's Dream," and the "Henry VI" trilogy. Thursday, August 22, the fourth of the Gresham lectures Is scheduled for 4 P.M. at the Ashland .Library Assembly room. "Biography in Tudor England" is the subject to be discussed by Gerard Barker of Stanford university. Explaining the topic,, Dr. Bailey commented that "The form of the biography is strongly Renaissance in char acter, since medieval "lives" were usually moral examples or royal records in chAnicles of the time. They were always flat tering or idealized. The Renais sance, bringing new interest in actual experiences and political figures, seeks increasingly for motives, and spends time on exact details. In Tudor days the biography was ofen memoir from personal observation or , memory. This was the case with George Cavendish's "Life of Wolsey," which was the source of Shakespeare's 'Henry VIII.' " Visitor Praises Oregon Festival Mr. and Mrs. Oliver Smith O of Los Altos, Calif., are visiting ft Mr. and Mrs. Ansley E. Hutch- lson, 812 South Holly street Mr. Smith, a chemist with the Stanford ' Research institute, worked with Mr. Hutchinson q during the early 1920s while they were both employed by the United States Forest Serv ice on the Flathead National Forest in Montana. This i their first visit since that time. While here Mrs. Smith, Mrs. Hutchinson, and the Hutchin son's daughter. Peggyann, at tended the Oregon Shakespear an festival showing of "Two Gentlemen of Verona." Mrs. Smith, a grade school teacher, had attended a production at the Stratford Theatre, Strat-ford-on-Avon, England last sum mer.

Before returning to Cali fornia the Smiths traveled to Crater Lake National park.

So Ouick-So Eaiy$o Good ft New Records Set at Festival Saturday Ashland Several new rec ords were set at last Saturday night's performance of "As You Like It" at the Oregon Shake spearean Festival theatre in Ashland. The house, was completely sold out, with several patrons purchasing 'standing room tick ets. It was also the largest audi ence to attend a play in the Fes tival's history, according to Bill Patton, manager. In addition, it was the earliest point in any sea son that a performance has been sold out. With attendance remaining high and advance sales still climbing, the Festival is also continuing to garner nationwide publicity. Angus L. Bowmer, Festival producing director, was recently interviewed by Frank Pinnock, news director at KMED in Medford. The tape re cording will be used Aug. 22 on "Life and the World," a nation wide NBC radio show. The Fes tival's own coast-to-coast NBC broadcast, highlights of "As You Like It," will be aired at 6:05 p.m. (PST) Wednesday, Aug. 28, Patton said. John Williams, KMED pro gram director, has supervised and recorded three features for use on the famed NBC show "Monitor."

IP) Com plicated litigation in the 13-mil-lion-dollar will of the late in dustrialist, Harry Publicker, will go to trial before a jury in Com mon Pleas court here on Oct. 7. The will, which has; been in dispute since 1951, was contested by a disinherited daughter, Mrs. Maxwell J. Mangold of New York and Miami. Although Publicker lived and maintained his business head quarters in Philadelphia, he maintained his voting residence in Easttown Township, Chester Ciunty. J. Paul MacElree, presi dent judge of the Chester county Court here, set the trial date. The suit was brought by Mrs. Mangold in her own right and on behalf of her three children. She alleged that a codicil which cut her out of a share in the estate was drawn and signed at a time when her father lacked testamentary capacity bacause of a stroke suffered in August, 1951. The other heirs contended Mrs. Mangold had been provided for prior to her father's death. The litigation has been pend ing for years, and only last year Judge MacElree ruled that it should be submitted to a jury. In his opinion at the time, MacElree said that the only point for a jury to decide con cerns "testamentary capacity of the deceased." He added that "there is no credible proof whatever of , the existence of undue influence or fraud," which Mrs. Mangold also had charged in her original suit. Publicker was president and founder of Publicker Industries, a huge industrial alcohol con cern. To complicate matters further, a second suit is pending in the Publicker will case. Harry Pub licker's widow, Rose, died sev eral years ago, and her will is being contested in Philadelphia courts. The chief beneficiaries under terms of the wills of, Harry and Rose Publicker were their son-in-law and daughter, Mr. and Mrs, Siman S. Neumann, and the Neuman's children. Neuman is present head of Publicker In dustries.
