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.

Fashion World Startled

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

Good Buys
New York-OIPB-A variety of

marts this week end.
Wholesale food prices, as
measured by Dun & Brad-

lowest level since early No

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

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

headliners are grapes, peaches,
apples and watermelons.
Frozen specials are sword

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

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

Theodore Marcuse as Car

end powerless, gave a remark
ably polished performance.

Joel Riggs, appearing brief

Soviets Lack Good Fashions
Says First Lady's Milliner
By GAY PAULEY

New York -(UPD- Mrs. Eisen

"lack of good 'fashion is ap

American styles? anxious to

which were a hit with U.S.
women this spring and sum

combs set inside the band and
pushed firmly into the hair.
"The women aren't nearly

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

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
