The erstwhile television
cowboy of "Wyalt Earp" fame
said he took a couple of days
off from filming his latest
movie here to try his luck in
Monte Carlo.
"Normally, I don't gamble,"
he said. "I started off with
just a few pennies and after
somebody snowed me how to
play. I just couldn't go wrong.
"When I realized how much
I had won, I got out quick.
You know, I left all those peo
ple who look after the gaming
tables there laughing."
O'Brian volunteered, as he
left the airport: "You know. I
don't rare if I never gamble
again."

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.
