'Huck Finn7
Premiers
Tonight
Ashland - Philip Hanson
and Mark Twain team up in
Mr. Hanson's latest one-man
show, "The Adventures ot
Huckleberry Finn."
The show will be given its
first performance tonight at
6:30 o'clock at Southern
Oregon college, and the pub
lic is invited to attend.
Mr. Hanson, internationally
acclaimed as a master story
teller, has long wanted to add
a comedy of American classic
literature to his growing ros
ter of solo shows.
"Huckleberry Finn," called
by a noted critic one of the
world's greatest books, fits the
qualifications completely.
The story is by the greatest
of American humorists and
relates the robust adventures
of a boy's life on the Missis
sippi. Ernest Hemingway is re
ported to have said that all
modern American literature
comes from one book by Mark
Twain called "Huckleberry
Finn."
Mr. Hanson began a long
study of the novel and in
March, 1963, adapted it as
a narrative performance in
which he tells the story and
plays 18 characters.
The popular solo performer
says he only presents works
of literature which he loves
and respects. "Huckleberry
Finn" is one of them.
"Twain always wrote about,
the life he knew," Mr. Han
son says. "Huck Finn is said
to have been a boyhood
friend of his who grew up to
be a famous western lawman.
"The work has rich, earthy
humour and a perfect story
it almost demanded to be
added to my repertoire," the
actor added with a grin.
The Twain classic is Mr.
Hanson's seventh one-man
chow.

Indiana Housewife Opens
Fire on Spanish Critique
By GAY PAULEY
UPI Woman's Editor
New York (UPD How's
that again? American men
should be protected against
American women:
Spain's most prolific con
temporary playwright, Alfon
so Paso, said so in two pages
of the Madrid Daily ABC
the other day.
He immediately and thor
oughly aroused the ire of Mrs.
John F. Good of Westfield,
Ind., when she saw in the In
dianapolis, Ind., Star a Unit
ed Press International dis
patch quoting from the Paso
critique.
In a two-page, single-spaced
typewritten rebuttal, Mrs.
Good wrote, "You men have
had your way so long, an
even break looks like a 'stack
ed deck' to you. I think you
are chicken. Mr. Paso."
Paso said the United States
evolved into a matriarchy be
cause of traditional and cur
rently unnecessary protec
tive measures incorporated
into law and custom from the
days of the pioneers.
"The man plays a mere
second fiddle," Paso wrote.
"He works until he drops, he
dies of a bullet in Korea, or
in his office - a victim of hy
pertension, anguish and lone
liness. It makes no difference
that he does not very much
like the vital formula of the
matriarchy he supports. He
must accept it ..."

Woman's Society of Christian
Service held the last meeting
at the home ot Mrs. Darwin
Ingalls, Ingalls lane, and
planned a dinner to be held
April 27 at the church.
A friendship quilt of hand
made blocks was presented to
Mr. and Mrs. Edward Koenig
in appreciation of their serv
ices to the Wilderville com
munity. He said American men
have protected American
women so that they the wom
en have wound up with every
thing. He spoke of the Amer
ican woman s purported own
ership of 75 per cent of the
stocks of big business, 70 per
cent of savings accounts.
Mrs. Good, who calls her
self "just a housewife, just
an American," is the wife of
a customer engineer for IBM
in Indianapolis. She attended
business school in the East
and worked in clerical jobs
while her husband attended
Purdue university. The cou
ple has a seven-year-old son.
"I detect a shrill cry of
fear that this trend of 'wom
en's right' may carry to your
own country, to your own
very household," she wrote in
reply to Paso's observations
on American men.
. . . Although America
grants more freedom to its
women than any other coun
try, we still have to put up
with such things as not being
paid equal salary for equal
work. It is still lawful in
some tates to beat your
wife for whatever the man
considers wrong ... so long
as the stick you use is no
thicker than your thumb.
"There are many profes
sions in which women are
not allowed to work regard
less of their qualifications and
abilities. The divorce laws in
many states still favor men.
In some states when a worn?
an marries all her belongings
and property become her hus
band's. ... In America, the dice
are still loaded in favor of
the male. If the woman can
make the grade in her chosen
field, I say she deserves the
glory. If she is smart, she
won't flaunt her victory, but
neither does she apologize for
it."
The Indiana housewife add
ed that "since you are in
Spain, Mr. Paso, where the
man has first, middle and the
last word ... I fail to see
what upsets you so."
