There are thousands' upon thousands of clubs and societies and associations and alliances in this country which are formed for thousands of reasons and purposes. Reporters are probably better in formed about these endless groups than most persons, but from time to time we hear about a new one new to us, that is. The latest to come across our horizon is the American Association of Theater Organ Enthusiasts. These men and women, who are apparently organized to preserve something of the past in this special phase of music making, gathered in New York not long ago.

When Potpourri came to Mcdfnrd there was an organ in the Cratcrian theater and it was still used to provide overture and intermission music for movie audiences. There was even a "sing along" time when the words to old favor ites and current popular songs were flashed on the screen and, with a little white dot bobbing along the lines to lead the singers and the organist providing the accompaniment, everyone in the audience would join in. According to news reports of the meeting of the Theater Organ enthusiasts, there is only one thealer in New York still using the organ. At Radio City Music hall, the organ is still played during intermissions. 3? r ' : Miss Gloria Johnson (Knacksteot photo) Buffington, musician; and Miss Cora Ravenor. recorder. Medford chapter.

Potpourri plans to be in Eugene today for the concert of the Philadelphia Symphony orchestra. This is one of the blessings of belonging to Civic Music members are per mitted not only to use their tickets for concerts in their home towns, but for any Civic Music concert wherever it may be given. The Jackson county association is not large or wealthy enough to book the big symphony orchestras and other expensive artists or groups, but its members may go to Eugene for these concerts. Since the Eugene associa tion is made up of both townspeople and University of Oregon students, it has an exceedingly large membership. Not long ago the famous American soprano, Eileen Far rell, gave a Civic Music program in MacArthur court in that city under rather unusual circumstances. Sandy the Cub who left The Tribune staff in March to attend university classes for the spring term, wrote of the incident. "We saw Eileen Farrell in concert last night at Mac- Arthur court. The court was very full her singing. But one strange Ihing did happen as she was walking in from the pause before her last group of songs, the audience applauded as usual, and then they stopped, the noise didn't. It had slarlcd to hail during the applause, and no one had heard Ihc start of the storm. It was really coming down hard, and some of the hailstones were an inch and a half across, we learned later. You couldn't even (alk to your neighbor, and Miss Farrell definitely couldn't sing. The roof leaked and the halls outside the tunnels were flooded, water dripped from the light fixtures, and so on. Miss Farrell took the incident with great good grace and loved it when some enterprising young man brought her and umbrella." Sandy added that she was working a few hours a week on the university paper, The Emerald, and was getting some practice In writing headlines. It is the plan that she will return to The Tribune for summer. Polpourri is a clipping cutter and mailer, and we ve i been busy with scissors and envelopes during the week at! home. One clipping from The New York Times went to' Angus Bowmer of the Oregon Shakespearean festival in Ashland. The story told how students at Cornell university at Ithaca celebrated Spring week end with a production of "Julius Caesar" instead of having a parade. "Student enthusiasm, it seems, is more available for the arts than for the crafts of crepe paper and chicken wire." Well, orchids to Cornell. The writer went on In say that the performance was staged in the courtyard of a women's dormitory and at tracted "unusual and merited attention." A senior under graduate from India, Xerxes Mehta, sparked the production and served as producer, director, coach, designer, music supervisor and gadfly, the reporter wrote. Caesar was a Scotsman, Marc Antony was played by a Greek from Egypt who is enrolled in astronomy and other students were chem ists, physicists, philosophers, engineers and mathematicians. "But a more beautiful and impressive setting can hardly be imagined," the reporter wrote. "The sweep of a terraced balcony against towering walls, the architectural scale of stone stairways and the massive arch, suggests the grandeur that was Rome and the grandeur that is Shakespeare. To actors playing wilh less passion and confidence the mise en scene could be overpowering. But from the first fanfare of live trumpets, players and audience with them are lifted to the brilliance of the master playwright's world." Having spent hours and hours every summer for the past years at the Shakcspcaron festival in Ashland, we know exactly what he's writing about. O S. and Miss Carol Axson, choir director.
