colorful with these "Color! ut
Cooking" ideas from Crescent:
The PTA is typically American as American as apple
pie, said Mrs. Leon Price, the Texas doll who came up from
Dallas to give the keynote address for the annual convention
of the Oregon Congress of Parents and Teachers.
If the PTA is typically American, so are conventions.
Potpourri attended one (only it was called a conference and
was quite small) last week end and has been "covering"
the Congress' meeting here this week. Consequently we've
listened to a lot of addresses, round tables and workshops;
we've eaten too much food, drunk too much coffee and
haven't had enough sleep.
We wonder if conventions would be as popular with
Americans if they were strictly business and weren't camou
flaged with so many pretty speeches, so much food and
drink, so many Introductions and presentations and so many
corsages and gifts. Or if maybe they might not be more
popular. '
Conventions are loosely divided into two categories
working conventions and fun conventions. The PTA meeting,
of course, comes under the former class PTA members
are probably as earnest and serious about their conventions
as any group in the United States. The delegates, mostly
women, are conscientious about attending the lectures and
workshops and because they are such busy women with so
many duties at home, are anxious to be home again.
Part of the entertainment for this week's PTA convention
were short concerts by the Medford High school choir and
the PTA Mothersingers. Both were received with a great
deal of enthusiasm. However, it seems a pity that the music
lovers among the visitors couldn't have been privileged to
hear the concert which Ruth Slenczynska, pianist, gave
here Sunday evening.
Like many others In the audience, this reporter went
to the concert half-unbelieving, skeptical of what reviewers
had said of her. Such phrases as "astonishing virtuosity" and
"great musician" have been written many times and some
times the performances have not lived up to the phrases.
But not this time. Sunday's concert was truly wonderful
and exciting, and we heard dozens of well-qualified concert
goers say so.
It is seldom almost never, in fact that one hears
'bravo" voiced during a concert in Medford. It is heard
often during concerts in the large cities, and one enthusiastic
listener from the east complimented the pianist in this
way Sunday night. The lone "bravo" came from Mrs. Robert
Secrist, here from Buffalo to visit the Bruno Pellegrinis,
in whose home she lived as a girl. Since Mr. Pellegrini is
himself a pianist, and since all three have broad musical
backgrounds, they appreicated Miss Slenczynska's artistry
to the fullest. Finding that she was alone with her "bravos"
although the hand clapping was loud and prolonged, the
visitor from Buffalo at length gave up. Potpourri opened
her mouth a couple of times to join in, but couldn't quite
find the nerve. We do this when in S. F., but not here.
Following the program Mr. and Mrs. John Lusk gave a
small party for Miss Slenczynska in their studio home.
Because the artist has only a cup of tea before concerts, Mrs.
Lusk prepared a steak dinner for her and lighter refresh
ments for the remainder of the guests. Carol Williamson
and Margaret Dix helped serve.
Miss Slenczynska, like many other fine musicians on
the concert stage, proved to be both gracious and friendly.
She ate her steak and salad with relish and at the same
time carried on conversations with the rest of the guests,
including the Lusk's daughter, who studies piano. Later she
listened to Signe play, and encouraged her to continue her
studies.
While In Medford Miss Slenczynska was a guest In the
home of Dr. and Mrs. Lawrence Buonocore and their three
daughters, her relatives through marriage. The daughters,
Laurie Beth, Madelyn and Alicia, haunted the living room at
the B. home while their distinguished guest practiced. Like
most other top flight concert stars, Miss Slenczynska prac
tices every day as much as eight hours if this is possible.
She believes that she has not missed practicing more than
10 or 12 days since she embarked on her study and career.
Those who have read the pianist's book about her strange
childhood will be interested to know that she has a second
in the hands of the publishers. This is on piano technique.
During the party Miss Slenczynska said she had worked
unusually hard to give as fine a concert as she possibly could
play. She wanted to make it a good concert because of the
Buonocores, and she had to work particularly hard because
of the piano. Miss S. had been told that a regulation nine-
foot concert grand piano of fine tone would be on the stage
for her to play. Instead, she found a small grand which has
been in use a long time, which is not a first-rate instrument
and not a proper one on which to ask an artist to play. The
concert grand which had been ordered sent down from Port
land failed to arrive.
II is reported that Miss Slenczynska did not complain,
but squared her shoulders and made the best of the situation.
More than one music fan was heard to say later that some
how, a better piano must be provided for use during concerts.
We weren't Impertinent in calling Mrs. Price "a doll"
earlier in this column. Every time Mrs. Price's name was
mentioned up at Hedrick school this week, some one would
exclaim "Isn't she a doll?" This dainty pink-and-white grey
haired woman gave a substantial keynote talk Tuesday
morning and like all good speakers, told some pointed stories.
Reporting on a survey during which young people an
swered questions about their parents, Mrs. Price said almost
all of them declared their parents had bad dispositions.
Then she told of the extremely busy mother who one day
answered the door bell only to find her small daughter
standing on the outside. The harassed and exasperated mother
scolded the little girl roundly and was shocked to hear her
daughter say "But mother, 1 only wanted to see your com
pany smile!" O.S.
