A recent dramatic review in the Seattle Post-Intelligencer brought us up-to-date on the activities of Jacque Colton, Uni versity of Washington student. Jacque, a daughter of the Sam Coltons of Medford, played in the UW production of "Look Homeward, Angel" put on at the Showboat. John Voorhees, writing for the Seattle newspaper, says that in his opinion "Look Homeward, Angel" is one of the few truly great American plays ol the 20th Century, and that the role of Eliza Gant, played by Miss Colton, is the deepest and most rewarding in the work he termed it "a fascinating and powerful character." The critic wrote "It is a demanding role and Miss Colton is to be commended for the depths of Interpretation which she, and director Kenneth Carr, have been able to bring forth." He added that tne stu dent actress and the director "provide a sense of theater, ; cohesion and direction to the production which were sadly lacking in the touring production." (He referred to a recent performance of the play in Seattle in which Miriam Hopkins had plavcd the role of Eliza Gant.) Miss Colton, a drama major,, has appeared in a number of UW plays since enrolling at the school, and in addition she teaches a class and produces plays for the Seattle church which she attends. The January issue of TV Radio Mirror is of particular interest in the Rogue valley, for four of Photographer Kenn Knackstedt's pictures are used to illustrate one of the articles, Featured in the article is Martin Mllner, co-star of CBS-TV's "Route 66," his wife and small daughter, Amy. Kenn K. took the pictures last summer when the "Route 66" company spent several weeks in the vicinity of Grants Pass filming two programs, and were part of a large number of stills which the directors had him take. The Medford cameraman spent many hours on the assignment, and watched with great interest the filming of the television show. He was fascinated to see how much time and film is expended in tne process. Some scenes which were filmed three and four times, consuming all the way from an hour to an entire day, either ended up as brief glimpses of a few seconds in the completed film, or were discarded entirely. "Route 66 , which shows on Channel 5 Friday evenings, is being filmed in various locations throughout the nation, using local homes, business houses, taverns, cafes and scenery as background. Some Rogue valley residents complained of the lack of authenticity in the two programs filmed in south ern Oregon, and many, of course, noticed that in the first, one of the stars referred to "Carter Lake." O.S. This Year's Toys Bigger; Show Influence of TV Siskiyou Society Session Recalls Past Christmases Yreka - An old fashioned Christmas tree highlighted the Christmas program given by the Siskiyou County Historic al society December 10 at the museum. The tree was decor ated with ornaments which were over a hundred years old. Strings of cranberries and popcorn, paper chains and little bells over which were glued rice which was then gilded, and little red candles. Around the base of the tree stood a wooden wagon with wooden wheel spokes and doll buggy, also made of wood and over a hundred years old, held a doll of an cient vintage. Hand made dolls many years old and handed down from pioneer relatives were displayed. There was a life-sized little boy doll dressed in an authen tic velvet costume. Mrs. Cecil Elliott played Christmas music on an old baby grand piano which came around the horn and was brought into Scott Valley via the Trinity Mountains on mule back. Gracing the top of the beautiful instrument was a century-old candelabrum of silver metal holding eight red candles. Mrs. Walter. Pollock and Mrs. John Rider wore black silk and taffeta dresses be longing to Siskiyou pioneers. Both ladies gave a little of the history of the dresses and modeled them for the audi ence. Mrs. Pollock, curator, had asked relatives of the pioneers to write something of the Christmases they had enjoyed with their grandpar ents and families. These let ters she read and they told of the old customs, family tra ditions and foods they enjoy ed. Many of the letters told of how as children they hung their stockings from the fire place mantel and next day found in them nuts, hard candies, a little toy and a rare treat, an orange. There were church programs, candy pulls and popcorn stringing parties. Always there was a big Christmas dinner of fried chicken, plum duff and hard sauce, cookies, cakes and pies. Some letters mentioned the big parties at the Yreka town hall where they had plays and sang carols, often they were snowbound at Christmas time. There were pictures of twelve Siskiyou County pio neer women on the wall, and under each the curator had placed a little doll dressed in the authentic costume and hair styling and surrounded by1 a gilt shadow box frame. Mrs. Pollock gave the history of each of these women. The program featured violin' solos by Miss Charlene Cor des, accompanied by Mrs. Ce cil Elliott, and songs sung and whistled by Mrs. Maurice Bittner, also accompanied by Mrs. Elliott. Preceding the program a short business meeting . was conducted by Tom Bigelow. Mrs. Vayne Ralston was elect ed president, Mr. Bigelow, vice president; Jim McNeil, recording secretary. Three board members were elected, Abner Evans, Jess O'Roke and Allan McMurray, Joseph Serpa reported on the restor ation of the little church in Callahan, which was accom plished through the efforts of a group of Catholic men who solicited funds and labor. The church-was built in 1858 and is a historic land mark. A barbecue was held November 6 to celebrate the completion of the project and the church is now ready for services. At the close of the program Mrs. Rider and Mrs. Pollock donned old fashioned white aprons and served refresh ments. There were also little gifts of candy in red dyed cheese tloth bags tied with little green, red and white Christmas ribbons, just like people, received at Christmas tree parties long ago.

HOME GIFTS ore best for yeor 'round J enjoyment By RALPH VILLERS United Press International New York - OIPD - They say there's nothing new under the sun - but for under the Christ mas tree there is plenty in the toy line this year. And, chances are, the toys you buy will be bigger and more animated than ever. That's because the trend now is to bigness and a wholesale introduction of television characters - many of them cartoon stars - into toyland. TV's Huckleberry Hound and Yogi Bear have turned up far from the home screen in bowling sets, ball toss games, a juggling game and, of course, stuffed in various sizes. So have other video stars, Quick Draw McGraw, Bozo the Clown and Casper, not to mention numerous non-ani mated characters. Western video shows such as "Johnny Kingo" and "Wells Fargo" have lent their names to guns. And from a little wilder era than that of the Wild West there's an Eliot Ness double barreled sawed-off shotgun that will shoot plastic bullets or jeis or waier. Other TV shows have come out as games, "Video Village," "The Deputy," Shotgun Slade" and "Wagon Train," with the boards duplicating the show's action. TV Influence "The influence of TV char acters is being felt throughout toyland," said a spokesman for the Toy Guidance Council, an independent organization which rates and age-grades toys. The trend toward bigness is represented not only in new king-size chess, checker and domino playing pieces, but in the stuffed toy and doll lines, which offer tot-sized dolls and such things as a 4-foot-long stuffed burro and a St. Ber nard dog 3V4 feet high. But, the Toy Guidance Council spokesman noted, still the leaders in the toy line are guns and dolls. The newest guns give a sharp report and have a built in ricochet sound as well. The professional designers have produced such things as Spittin' Image holsters and guns that hug the hip just like those worn by film heroes. In dolls, the new tot-size ones like Saucy Walker come big enough to be taller than the recipient. One introduced just a few weeks ago, Baby Dear, is the image of and has the supple body of a month-old baby. The squiggly little thing needs sup port behind the head and along the back just like the real item. Then there's a doll with eyes which look as if they are following you as you walk past. And-another has eyes that slowly close as you rock her. The vocabulary is increas ing beyond "mama, mama to the point where Chatty Cathy will say 11 different phrases just by pulling a ring at the back of her neck. For the tiny homemaker, toy companies are building child - height kitchen equipment- sinks, refrigerators and cabinets - in both metal and cardboard. The demand for educational and creative toys is growing, and the Council spokesman said it will accelerate in the future. For the small set there are block maps of the United States, which when put to gether differently show the animals, rivers and lakes and capitals of the various states. Flash cards are "going like crazy," the spokesman said. Not only can a parent help his youngster with arithmetic and simple spelling with flash cards, but now can help intro duce the child to such foreign languages as Spanish and French. . -t New York-IUPD - A nation wide study by American Mo tel Magazine shows that 15, 660 of the 19,337 motel rooms counted currently have TV sets.
