Kewes Speaks at Monday Dinner Ashland - Before an audi ence of more than 75 diners in the Crown room of the Mark Antony hotel New York Drama Critic Henry Hewes re viewed and analyzed the season's current Broadway plays Monday evening. The Alumni Reunion Is Set at College Ashland - Speakers for the All-Time Alumni reunion at Southern Oregon college this week end, Aug. 10 and 11, will include Richard L. Clark, 1959 student body president, boy scout district executive from Aberdeen, Wash., and Dr. Elmo N. Stevenson, South ern Oregon college president. Clark, a graduate of Med ford High school, continued his interest in scouting throughout his college career. In addition to his student body presidency, he served as year book and campus photog rapher for two years, belong ed to a number of honorary and social organizations and was a member of the cham pionship tennis teams for those years. He will be accompanied by his wife the former Donna Schulze of Roseburg and their two children. Dr. Stevenson, who as sumed the presidency in 1946, will speak on the expanded curricular offerings of the college, its future role in the State System of Higher Edu cation, and its growth in terms of students, staff, buildings, and facilities. After attending this Fri day's performance of "Com edy of Errors" at the Shake spearean Festival, former stu dents and faculty will con vene Saturday morning on the college campus for an event-packed day which will end with an alumni dance in the Britt ballroom. visiting columnist of the Sat urday Review was completing a summer sampling of Shake spearean festivals. Dr. William Sammons, pres ident of the board of direc tors of the Oregon Shake spearean Festival association, presided, and Manville Hcisel, president of the sponsoring Broadway Theater League of Medford, introduced the speaker. For Hewes' impressions of Shakespeare Oregon - style one will doubtless have to await an early issue of his drama column, roadway "Postscript," as he made no comments on the play he had seen Sunday night or the one he was about to witness, oth er than to remark that at last he had found something he had always wanted - an in termission. "A Thieves Bal- Beer Truck Drivers Will Vote Tuesday Portland - fUPH - Some 300 beer truck drivers in Oregon will vote next Tuesday on a proposed new contract. The proposal was reached Tuesday evening after an all day session between negotia tors for the Teamsters Union and Oregon beer distributors. The union members had given strike authorization earlier. Teamster spokesman Joe Edgar called the proposal a compromise. Its terms were not revealed. Part of the dis pute had centered on ufages. lad" was scheduled to follow the Monday night's perform ance of "The Comedy of Er rors." "The Broadway season is deceptively good," declared the speaker, "But 50 per cent of the plays are imported from other countries, which is symptomatic of the American stage." ! More Reality It is Hewes' opinion that the public desires more reali ty while at the same time ! it longs for splendor such as is found in "A Man for All j Seasons" the play which j dramatizes the conflict be tween Sir Thomas Moore and King Henry VIII. I High on the list of best , plays is "The Caretaker," an ; allegory based on the tramp who represents "us, humani ty, torn between the cruelty of the Old Testament way and the peace of the New Testi ment philosophy." The play is not regarded as a success however. Another "best" is Tennes see Williams' "Night of the Iguana." This playwright has the power to blow up the simplest incident into a splen did event and to balance coarseness with elegance of speech, said Hewes, adding that he has been asked to col laborate with Williams on a play and has already written the first act, commenting that "it shocked Williams." Other Productions A new production, "Oh, Dad, Poor Dad, Mamma's Hung You in the Closet and I'm Feelin' Sad," elegant and seemingly artificial owes its success to eroticism, while "A Thousand Clowns" is refresh ingly original in its amusing dialog, as is "Gideon," an other Broadway play of Bib lical analysis and startling ! characterizations, i n eluding ; that of God, but lacking in the I splendor so desired by the public. Included in the critic's brief commentaries were the I Negro musical comedy, "No Strings," "Subways Are For i Sleeping" and "How to Sue- j ceed in Business Without Even Trying." "Second City Productions" by a Chicago group doing improvisations on I contemporary situations came in for commendation. In summation Hewes pre dicted that new American plays will eventually find structural formula after going through this present formless, messy stage. The question and answer period at the conclusion of Hewes' talk was too brief to allow for more than a few comments and opinions from tne auaience.
