Wtdford Shspoir-i Cfttir Pboni: 773-7458 Dick Webb, Mer. 0ll tuilj L!BIRI 'Til t 1 OBIS There was laughter pretty wry, though, among our group at the Philadelphia orchestra concert in Eugene Sun day when a spokesman for the Eugene Civic Music associ ation gave a little talk about how great is the need in that city for a civic auditorium. For what he was saying is exactly what is being said here. A city the size of Eugene or Medford should have a proper auditorium in which pro grams of music, drama and dancing can be presented. It should be large enough to care for present and im mediate future needs, it should have a suitable stage and accommodations for musicians and performers, and it should have reasonably comfortable seats for those in the audience. Very important, too it should be planned and constructed so that the audience can hear, with as little distortion as possible, the voices and the music from the stage. There are other necessities and niceties, of course, but thpsf are ihp ones which first come to mind. The spokesman in Eueene Sunday said committees have prepared facts ana figures, after months of work, and he gave the impression that the Eugene project has a good start. We hope so we also hope that Medford will do likewise. Half a loaf, of course, is better than none and although the Eugene Civic association speaker apologized for the fact that McArthur court is not the best place in the world for a concert, it is better than not having the concert. To watch Eugene Ormondy conduct his 120-piece symphonic; orchestra, and to hear the glorious music wnicn ine com bination produces, is an unforgettable experience. Just before leaving Eugene our group walked past tha court en route to the car. Two huge motor vans were being loaded with music instruments and equipment and believa it or not, that equipment included baseballs and bats. A heap of the bats and balls were on the sidewalk, along with huga cases for the big bass viols, etc. We had heard that the men of the Philadelphia orchestra play ball for recreation and exercise and the sight of tha bats recalled a little story we heard over the radio last week. The announcer said that the Philadelphia orchestra, in Seattle to play for the World Fair audiences, had also played ball with a group of Seattle musicians as opponents. "Who played first base?" asked the announcer. And then he answered himself. "Why, the first bass player, of course." O.S.
