Americans thrive on organizations. 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.

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.
