Sunday night's performance of "As You Like It," was sold out, the first time in the history of the festival that any Sunday performance has sold out. Sat urday night's showing of "Hen ry VIII" came within a few doz en seats cf a complete sell-out, which would have been the first "history" in history to do so. As it is, "Henry VIII" is estab lishing the all-time attendance recoid for the chronicle plays, festival officials said. Total attendance, through Sunday night, was 18,220. A year ago at this same time, it was 14,549. This is a gain of 20.3 per cent over 1956. Ad vance sales, for the final week of plays, show a 27 per cent edge over last year, officials said. It is expected that final tabulations will show 1957 to be the festival's biggest box of fice year to date. Two special features are plan ned for Wednesday, Aug. 23. The final Trinity Noon Reading, scheduled for Trinity hall in Ashland, will offer a reading of "The Magical History of Dr. Faustus," an original comedy written by George Hitchcock, San Francisco actor-playwright, now a member of the 1957 fest ival company. Several players from the company will take part in the reading. On Wednesday at 4:30 p.m. Lt. Col. James Jackson of the Air Force academy will present "Fencing For the Stage," a film demonstration, lecture, and prac tice bouts. The public is invited to the event, which will take place on the festival stage. An unavoidable delay in Col. Jack son's arrival forced postpone ment of the event, originally scheduled for last Saturday. in niMinnMrT "i i NEW CAR SCHEDULED Two views- of one of the new Edsel cars is shown above. The new line is scheduled for a showing here at Crater Lake Motors Wednesday through Saturday at West Sixth and Fir sts. Eleven models of the new car line will go on display starting at 8 a.m. Wednesday. Edsel Car Comes Here For Sept. 4 Display Ford's new Edsel car comes to Medford at 8 a.m., Wednes day, Sept. 4, according to Hugh Coleman, president of the local agency, Crater Lake Motors. A new building, at West Sixth and Fir sts., to house the Ed sel, will be completed in time for the open house Wednesday through Saturday. The build ing will be open 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. during the first week of sales, Coleman said. Coleman said also he would display 11 models of the new car and have others ready for immediate delivery. Everyone is invited to attend the open house and view the new cars, he added. The nation's second-ranking producer's completely new Ed sel line will compete in the fast growing medium price field with such makes as Buick and De Soto and is expected to carry price tags ranging from S2.500 to S4,5C0. The Ford Co., is betting 250 million dollars in design and development costs that the pub lic will like and buy the Edsel. 18 Models Available The new Edsels 18 models in four series will round out Ford's line, making it competi tive with other producers from the lowest to the highest priced lines. Ford hopes to sell 200,000 of the new cars in 1958. Ford officials said the Edsel is the first new car to be intro duced to the public through an entirely new dealer organiza tion in about 30 years. A num ber of Edsel dealers gave up General Motors, Chrysler, Stude-baker-Packard and American Motors dealerships to handle the new Ford car. Edsel, a flashy, powerful car, does not face an easy time of it on the retail scene. But Ford is confident the Edsel will make it, like Mercury did when in troduced in 1938. The Edsels are streamlined and colorful, and feature some novel firsts. Grille Distinctive The most distinctive feature of Edsel's external" .styling is its grile. It consists of a vertical, oval air opening in front of the radiator, flanked by horizon tal grillwork. In the rear it has, horizontal tail lights that sweep down on the trunk door. The reaf fend- .
