MAIL TRIBUNE, Medford, Or. Dignitaries and celebrites were so think at the annual Feast of the Tribe of Will Tuesday night that reporters and photographers hardly knew, sible exception of the Junior Chamber of Commerce men who were serving the dinner (which was ample and good) probably the busiest man at the dinner was Dwaine Smith. Dwaine was not only taking pictures for the festival association but for the wire services and The Mail Tribune. Then the hard-working photog ing film and making prints. By the time Potpourri found him in the milling crowd, he had already taken several shots of Actress Ginger Rogers and was ready to start on Governor and Mrs. Hatfield and other state celebrities. He didn't have to worry about his subjects-some of them hardly go anywhere without lenses pointed in their direction and flash bulbs popping. Miss Rogers posed with Producing Director Angus Bow mer, and then the Hatfields posed with Festival President A. F. Fries Jr., Mrs. Fries and a number of other personages. Miss Rogers is a mighty photogenic and gracious blonde actress and Mrs. Hatfield is an equally photogenic and gracious brunette First Lady of Oregon. Both are a pho tographer's delight. Miss Rogers and her mother were enthusiastic about the festivities in the park and the opening night "Maske of the New World" and "Twelfth Night." They went back stage afterwards to congratulate the cast, and were on hand again last night for "King John." The star told the Twelfth Night cast with obvious sincerity that the performance had been terrific and that she had enjoyed every moment. The interest of Miss Rogers and her mother goes back some time. The two have been coming to the valley for many years and stay at their ranch on the Rogue river. When last year's building fund campaign started, both cooperated and gave the committee much help in contacting personalities in the theatrical world.. For the opening night gala, Miss Rogers and her mother had dinner with a Medford group which included J. E. Collins, his sons, Robertson and Edward, Henry Isaacs, Los Angeles, public relations for Don Loper, the well known California clothes designer, and the Alfred S. V. Carpenters and their family which included Mr. and Mrs. Burton Daugherty and sons, Ronny and Harlow. The Daughertys arrived recently from their home on St. Croix, the Virgin islands, to visit the Carpenters, long-time generous festival supporters. Ronny and Harlow, along with dozens of other small fry, were having a field day getting autographs. With an honest-to-goodness stage star; a governor, secretary of state and others as victims, they were as busy as bees with pencil and paper. Miss Rogers must have signed her name scores of times. The autograph hounds not only came singly and in pairs, but in troops-literally. At one time she was surround ed by awe-stricken Girl Scouts all wanting the famous Ginger Rogers to put her name on something they could take home as a memento of a big evening.-O.S. Registrations Open for Gamp Interested girls may.1' still register for the fourth and final session at Camp Low Echo, the Rogue Valley Girl Scout Council's established camp at Lake of the Woods.

Fashion World Startled By St. Laurent Hemlines By PAT HERMAN United Press International Paris-OJPD-Tr-e mighty House of Dior hoisted dress hemlines above the kneecap today in showing its "NEW, new look" for 1959. Wonder-boy designer Yves Mathieu Saint-Laurent's star tling fashion layout for the coming fall and winter expos ed a more generous portion of the leg than has been seen since the flapper days of the 1920s. Saint- Laurent's sartorial bombshell made present styles as flat as champagne that has stood three days. His new styles were an audacious bid to boost the House of Dior's 15 million dollar a year sales. - Half of the hemlines Saint- Laurent showed for daytime wear and most of them for evening bared half the knee cap. Some bared the entire knee cap; some nearly covered it. A green-satin Dior evening dress called "metamorphosis" had a hip-hugging flounced skirt with hemline so high that you saw the mannequin's kneecaps. Film Star Approves Not since Saint - Laurent s great predecessor, the late Christian Dior, launched his almost ankle-length new look in 1947 has the House of Dior so rocked the fashion world. Actress Audrey Hepburn, who saw the Coco Chanel show Wednesday, was at ring side. She said enthusiastically, I'm all for short skirts-even to the kneecap if you've got the right legs." Chicago Pair Bridge Winners Chicago-flJPD-Edward Rosen and Don Rotman of Chicago won the Life Masters Pair Bridge Championship tourna ment Wednesday night after a scoring error knocked out the first place team. Robert Jordan, Philadel phia and Norman Kay, Mer chantsville, N.J., were first declared the winners with 8741 points. But one of their opponents, Roger Briggs, Winnetka, 111., was at home checking over his score card when he rea lized he and his partner had taken four tricks instead of three in a hand played against Jordan and Kay. Briggs notified officials. They checked with" Jordon and Kay, who admitted Briggs had taken four tricks. The change cost the pair 20 points, putting them in third place with a revised score of 854Vi points. The life masters event is part of the 31st Annual sum mer tournament of the Ameri can Contract Bridge Le?gue. Rosen and Rotman amassed a total of 863 points. Second place was given to Lawrence Weiss, Booton, and Sidney Aaronson, Washington. -,, How to Cook Fresh Tongue First, soak the fresh tongue in a water and vinegar mix ture using 1 tablespoon of vinegar to a juart of water. After 2 hours of soaking, rinse the tongue and cook it in fresh water over the sim mer burner for 3 hours. When the boiling point is reached add a large onion, 3 cloves, a bay leaf, lVs teaspoons salt, 6 peppercorns and a pinch of thyme. When the tongue is tender, remove it from the water and skin it Serve with horseradish sauce, fresh spin ach, poppy seed noodles and a rose wine. Use the left overs for chefs salad and sandwiches. j . Saint - Laurent left bust, waist and hips the way nature made them, concentrating all his attention at the top of the kneecap. All eyes were on the dar ingly short skirts that were tiered, gathered or flounced with one thing in mind: To make women drastically shorten their skirts. . Saint-Laurent pulled out all the stops with his evening col lection. Even evening skirts that were floor-length behind were slit up in front to almost kneecap level. Emphasis on Skirts Sometimes the four - inch band that circled the , top of the short hemline was only a foot in diameter. The Dior skirt, which Saint Laurent insisted was the se cret of his new line, fell either straight from the waist or from the shoulders, or it belled out over underpinning at the hips. But whether straight or bell-shaped, it always was flounced, tiered or - gathered low on the hemline to drama tize the new length. Suits in mohairs and plaids had natural shoulders and were worn with fur toque hats and large earrings. Jackets were short, unlike all the other shows in Paris. Some were belted or loose fitting. The suit skirts ranged in hem-lengths from above to below the kneecap. Paris -(UPD-Skirts must be lifted above the knee, Dior designer Yves Mathieu Saint Laurent decreed today in an exclusive interview that blew the lid off the current Paris fall fashion season. His word on shorter skirts flew smack against the length ening hemlines that other de signers have been showing all week in this world fashion capital. But audacity is a Dior tra dition. The late, great Chris tian Dior made his name in 1947 with a "new look" that lengthened hemlines while all the other fashion houses were hiking them. The world followed Dior and has ever since. Today Saint-Laurent-who took over brilliantly after Dior!s death two years ago-made his bid to equal the master's major stroke of a dozen years ago. . "La jupe sera au dessus des genoix," Saint-Laurent told UPI. In plain English that meant, "The skirt will be above the knees."

'King John' Rated As Recommended By Play Reviewer Ashland-It takes a good il legitimate son to make a legi timate success of "King John" and the Oregon Shakespearean Festival has one here this season in the shape and per sonality of William Oyler. Playing Philip the Bastard, illegitimate son of Richard Coeur-de-Lion, Oyler has the meatiest and most human role in the history and he devel ops the part with a gusto and warmth that drew en thusiastic applause from the responsive crowd at the thea tre here last night. With this season's presenta tion of King John last seen here in 1948-the festival has come full, cycle and inaugur ates once again the first in a series of ten Shakespearean histories. King John, in this review er's opinion, is enjoyed more as a series of near-episodic scenes than as a flowing and truly engrossing plot. The action centers about the strug gle for the crown of England with a sort of now-we're-fight-ing, now-we're-friends strain ed liason between French and English forces. Mutely Eloquent Robert Towers as young Arthur, the rightful heir to the throne, gives a moving performance as the mutely eloquent boy who, moved around like a pawn, watches the madness of his elders in sorrow, amazement, and final ly, uncomprehending panic. The grotesque scene be tween Arthur and the tor tured Hubert, well-played by William Nye, in which Hubert can't overcome his gentle heart and burn out the boy's eyes, is a prelude to the youth's tragic death; and this in turn is counterpoint to the death of King John. Philip Hanson as John is at his best in the final death scene when, previously poi soned off-stage, by an obscure character, he returns to the Fish, Fowl Good Buys New York-OIPB-A variety of fish, fowl and better cut! of red meat will share the spot light with overflowing vege table bins as featured attrac tions at the nation's food marts this week end. Wholesale food prices, as measured by Dun & Brad- street Inc., are down to the lowest level since early No vember, 1956, and food shoppers can expect retailers to pass along at least part of their savings to the con sumer in the form of lower price tags on a broad selec tion of edibles. Although pig ' marketings are near their' seasonal low they continue well ahead of last vear. Pork prices will be four to eight cents a pound under last week at meat counters in most sections, ac companying smaller drops in ham ana bacon. Special treats will also be going at special prices with sirloin steak, leg of lamb, and beef all at more attractive levels. High protein fowl in generally large supply are broiler-fryers and lightweight turkeys. Vegetables are plentiful and low priced. The selection of economi cally priced fruits narrowed some this week. The four headliners are grapes, peaches, apples and watermelons. Frozen specials are sword fish, lobstertail and shrimp. Hayes Family Returns Home . Mr. and Mrs. Karl Hayes and children, Kevin, Karla and Kim, 1201 Mt. Pitt ave nue, have just returned from a month in Portland where Mr. Hayes was instrumental in assisting the Oregon State Department of Education out line . a curriculum for the mentally retarded for the state of Oregon. During this time the family visited many points of inter est in Portland including the new zoo, the Centennial Ex position and the Northwest Antique shov. Mr. Hayes' hobby is collecting antique mechanical banks. From Portland the Hayes went to Seattle and visited Mr. and Mrs. Clyde Gagne. Mrs. Gagne is the former' Bet tv PuhL Medford. While there they spent a week end on Lake Washington and surrounding lakes on the Gagne's cabin cruiser "Miss B Haven." Motoring on to Spokane, the family visited Mr. and Mrs. Roy Silliman and daugh ter, and Mr. and Mrs. J. F. Desavedo, Mrs. Hayes' aunt and uncle. Returning home they stopped in Prineville with Mr. Hayes' aunt and un cle, Mr. and Mrs. Fred Grimes. Mr. Hayes will resume his duties as director of special education for Jackson county in his office in the courthouse after August 1. stage a different - monarch, burning inwardly writhing and gaunt-eyed, before expir ing. Prince Henry steps into the crown immediately and at the end, Philip the Bastard is left on stage alone, musing .over the armed invasions and the death of Kings, and he voices the thought that comes closest to tying together the diffuse strings of action: "This Eng land never did," nor never shall, lie at the proud foot of a Conqueror." Risso Director - Directed by Richard D. Ris so, the play last night drew the' most possible from the half a dozen or so really mov ing scenes. King John suffer ed, we thought, from the pomp, strutting, and cluttered scenes often attendant upon histories, but some interesting and amusing by-play spiced the action even in the most flavorless episodes. Mary Jo Randall, as Con stance, had some of the more difficult lines in the play and she played them excallently. As Arthur's mother, driven by a strange mixture of mother love and greedy ambition, she gave a superb performance though-certainly not her fault -she seemed almost too attrac tive for a frustrated queen mother. Theodore Marcuse as Car dinal Pandulph, the power be hind the throne, though at the end powerless, gave a remark ably polished performance. Interesting Character Joel Riggs, appearing brief ly, was enjoyable as the spindly-legged half-brother to Philip the Bastard. And we found Edward Grover, the not-so-brave Duke of Austria, to be an interesting char acter. Some of the performances, we felt,, could have been im proved, though King John doesn't offer the juiciest parts in the world. The play fuses together an alloy of human clay and royal mettle and makes for a quite enjoyable evening. It runs a fast and well-paced two and a half hours and what ever strain there is tells more on the cast than on the audi ence.

OREGON Soviets Lack Good Fashions Says First Lady's Milliner By GAY PAULEY UPI Women's Editor New York -(UPD- Mrs. Eisen hower's milliner is back from Russia with the news that the "lack of good 'fashion is ap palling." Mrs. Sally Victor found So viet women anxious to see American styles? anxious to try on the all-over floral hats which were a hit with U.S. women this spring and sum mer, and amazed at American hat makers' methods of keep ing a hat on - with the tiny combs set inside the band and pushed firmly into the hair. "The women aren't nearly as hat conscious as we are," said Mrs. Victor. "I guess they're just supposed to pave streets, not wear hats." The milliner took with her, on an 11-day visit to Moscow and Leningrad, 18 of her own designs. - First she showed them to salesgirls and execu tives at Gum, the state-owned department store in Moscow, and then left them as gifts for "American and Russians who were especially helpful on the trip." "The women oh'ed, ah'ed and touched," she said. "A woman loves pretty things, no matter where she is." "The flowered wig hat . . . I wore one of pink rose petals .. . . was the biggest hit," she said. "And all those jingly bracelets American women wear created quite a stir among the Russians.". Mrs. Victor returned with a theme for her fall collection, shown this week. The mil liner copied Soviet Cossacks, cathedral spires and hats once worn by Catherine the Great. "If you're going to Russia to look for new art, don't," she said. "But the museums are loaded with wonderful old things." She adapted the "Topahhi," a tall draped toque, in long haired felt and fur. ally building to a climax, with speeches continuing loud and strong, we felt that in the final scenes some of the cast could have used a five-minute break. But this may be carping. Hoarse throats in the cast and chapped hands in the audi ence can mean only one thing -a successful production. We recommend King John. -R.A. The HW i The "Kupol" is the name she gives rounded caps with spiralling peaks, inspired by the cupolas of the famous St. Basil's Church within the Kremlin walls. "Czarina," with a nod to Catherine, is a rounded crown shape with triangular flanges justing out behind each ear. Mrs. Victor does the Cos sack with a cuff four to six inches wide, and with either the rounded crown, or tall conical crown. She sews it in beaver, mink, leopard, opos sum, persian lamb and small curled feathers which when combined look like persian.
