Soeking A Reason "She seemed to be seeking a raison d'etre." Mrs. Jordan also maintains a studio in London and until recently, she and her husband spent four or five months of each year in England. One of her close friends is Mrs. Fred erick Erroll. a lady-in-waiting to Queen Elizabeth. Through her, she had a chance to ob serve Margaret several times 'I decided there was enough the face to interest me," she said. She' got the commission through a British magazine editor for whom she had done illustrations. The artist said the brown- haired, blue - eyed princess posed for her for three hours Another three - hour setting was scheduled - "but I didn't need it. I had caught Mar garet." Mrs. Jordan, wiio once did a portrait of her daughter, Jan, in "a furious six hours of work," spent three more weeks on the Margaret work. But the princess never has seen the finished product. The portrait now hangs in her duplex studio apartment in Manhattan and is copied full-page, in color, in the cur rent Ladies' Home Journal. Mrs. Jordan has permission to keep for two years the Margaret work and portraits of othe English stage and so ciety figures she did on her last London visit, in case she wants to hold an exhibit. Then Margaret may have it. Talented Artist Mrs. Jordan, 52, is the for mer Barbara Schwinn of Glen Ridge, N.J. Her mother was an artist and the talented daughter studied in New York and Paris.

The artist, a pretty brunette woman with huge brown eves said Hull site will do fewer and fewer portraits because "it seems to me the field has gone so commercial." "I think the world is look ing for something in art beyond what is being given it today." she said. "It is starved for creativity. I would like in my own small way to add something ... "I wouldn't want to go down in art history known only as tile woman who paint ed a princess." Stauffer GUARANTEES RESULTS Only $10 for new four-week studio visit course.

Homicide Detec tive," in the high school gym nasium Thursday, April 28, at 8 p.m. "Message from Khufu," by H.

Hieroglyph ics on the sarcophagus warn of dire peril to those who riisturh the si pen of Khufu: but nevertheless the men re move the lid. Only one es capes and how he does makes a wierd story. "Don't Tell a Soul" is a one- act farce with nine women. It shows how BossiD is SDread and exaggerated in a neigh borhood.

Delighted Audience Hears Ruth Slenczynska Play Br H. D. WERNER Ruth Slenczynska, pianist, played to a delightful audi ence last night to close the season of 1959-60 for Jackson County Civic Music associa tion. Opening with Liszt s "Leg end No. 2", "St. Francis Walk ing on the Waves," Miss Slenczyska early demonstrat ed in this bravura piece that all that had been claimed and proclaimed for her was def initely true. She is without doubt an artist of the first rank. And this she proved by her playing of Bach's first "Pre lude and Fugue in C Major," volume one of the well-tempered clavier. A supreme command of touch brought Inspection Set For Bethel 55 Official inspection and initi ation will take place when Bethel 55, -International Or der of Job's Daughters, meets Tuesday, April 26, at 7:30 a.m. at Pythian hall, Fifth and Grape streets.

At the last meeting of the bethel, certificates of pro ficiency were earned by Sen ior Princess Teresa Six and Miss Pamela Trowbridge, chaplain.

Miss Slenczynska played a toccata (touch piece) by Louise Tal ma. This is music of a certain amount of cleverness, but leaves no impression. It was a good display piece for the pianist's staccato technique, however. Altering the sequence of the printed program, the artist proceeded next with the "Symphonic Etudes" by Schu mann. This work is fiendish ly difficult, physical taxing and over long. At times it be comes dreary. But pianists who have worked on it ap preciate its bristling problems and are duly impressed by one who overcomes them. Ai music, it is not of "heavenly length" as Schumann once re marked about Schubert's "Tragic Sympthony." Rather it is a piece for the studio or a recital for pedagogues and critics. It attempts too much for the instrument. And mentioning instru ments, it was unfortunate that the artist had to play on the old school piano. A good idea would be for the Civic Music association to try to acquire (there are many ways) a good piano a real concert grand of their own. The Community Concerts group in Grants Pass did it. Surely we can do as well as our smaller sister city. After intermission Miss Slenczynska played several numbers by Chopin with great authority which were a de light. As encores she also played the "Polanaise in A flat" by Chopin, and "La Campanella' by Paganinl Liszt, the later most brilliant ly. 1 Xi Mu Chapter To Hold Session Xi Mu chapter of Beta Sig ma Phi will meet Wednesday, April 27 at 8 p.m. at the home of Mrs. Nils Edin, 1308 Stew art avenue.
