Newspaper Page TextMEDFOr.D MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON SUNDAY. APRIL 7. 1K3 C 11 MANOR-ISMS . . By ETHEIYN EVANS Indian Dances Called Valuable Native Culture CALENDAR.. I was happy to see so many Manor members at the lunch eon style show put on by the Medical Association auxili ary. To me it was an unusual show-so many adorable chil dren and quite a few of their attractive mothers and grand mothers. With so many very young children-at least one two-year old-many afternoon nap times were sacrificed. I sat among some of the fond mothers and right next a table of even fonder fathers and or grandfathers. These doctor? stayed just as long as they possibly could, and I'll wager waiting rooms were overflowing with more or less patient patients. Even then they departed reluctantly, looking back for a last glimpse of a beloved child, a beloved child. The jam-packed club room assured a goodly sum collect ed for the post-graduate schol arships, Mrs. William J. Mil ler explained were the object of the affair. These days of tremendous advances and rap id changes in medical science tend lo turn some of our doc tors into perpetual collegians: but we should be thankful they do keep abreast of the latest discoveries and procedures. Bard, as well as entertain ment of the general public. William Shakespeare, Es quire, all but took over the second floor of Hotel Mark Antony this past week. The balcony over the lobby was filled by the Tudor Guild book fair; then the advance ticket reservation space for the Festival; Manager Wil liam Patton's busy office and, beyond, (he conference rooms for Angus Bowmer's produc tion staff meeting. These vari ous department heads came from seven states and as many colleges. 1 enjoyed a visit with Shir ley Dodge, University of Tcx- tneir choreographer - a very big job for such a young person. In fact, our Festival is now such "big business" thai it is impossible to rely on corresnondence in conrHl. rate the over-all plans, or to Iwait until the casting and rc 'hearsa! period when constant immediate problems arise each day. This conference .was also working on plans rfor the future. Mr. Patton ex plained that these programs I must be selected and plans bcj?un at least two years in advance; and the selections must not only lake into con sideration "rotation" but must be balanced carefully comedy, tragedy, etc. for the benefit of students of the Mrs. Rease Braley, Mrs. C. H. Davis and I. Manor, and Mrs. Sheridan Scott. Medford. were Medford members of the Tudor Guild attending the Wednesday night Guild meet ing, when Mrs. Edd Roun tree, Ashland, reported a very successful Book fair. Each S300 the Guild can earn in excess of operating expenses, provides another scho'arship for a student player. At this meeting plans were launched for pre-Festival activities and work during the actual play ing season. Profits from sales at the theater booth, manned by Guild members, also go into the scholarship fund. Mrs. Richard Gray, Med ford. will be chairman for the "casting dinner" given the ac tors and workers in June; Mrs. H. Myers. Ashland, is already busy listing all rental possibilities for housing the full staff during casting, re hearsals and performances; Mrs. . R. G. Berninghausen, Ashland, is again in charge of collecting household items and furnishings necessary to supplement furnished rentals. Another remarkable serv ice providead by the Guild is a temporary loan arrange ment which sometimes makes it possible for a promising young actor to slay for the training the Festival offers. The truly encouraging feature of these loans made over the years is that the money comes back - always in installments and sometimes liny dribbles, but it is eventually returned. This fact seems to be at least a candle flame in the murke of declining principles and morality which was discussed in a Mail Tribune editorial of March 27. It is to be hoped that our editor will continue to pound away on this sub ject. Perhaps he can think-it-through further and come up with even a small concrete suggestion of how we can help-in addition to the con tinued "mourning and wail ing" which he so rightly stales should stimulate our minds and spirits to tackle the job of reversing the trend. Return Ashland Mr. and Mrs. Charles Avery, 285 Sixth street, returned last week f;om a winter's vacation in southern California and Ari zona. On their return they were accompanied by Mrs. Avery's cousin, Mrs. Mildred Roberts of Detroit, Mich. Ashland The large aud- ience that heard and saw Reginald and Gladys Laubin i in a program of Indian dances ; Wednesday night w as treated to a different type of enter tainment from the customary Hollywood version of war whoops and tomahawks. "Most young Indians know little of the lore of their past," said Mr. Laubin. "The government has tried to make white men out of them and it I is small wonder so little is known of the art of dancing, which was once such an es isential part of their daily ! lives," declared (lie Siskiyou Knife and Fork club speaker. Although the Laubins have no Indian blood, they have long been associated with most of the tribes of North America and have done exten sive research, writing text books and winning world wide recognition for their work. They were officially adopted into the Sioux tribe and have lived with American Indians. Their appearances have included most European countries and their writings merited a Guggenheim fellow ship. The brilliance of ceremon ial garb and the cadence of drums produced an accom paniment for the dance and song numbers in which were combined grace and violence, soft chanting and shrill whistles. In full regalia of shield and battle ax, the feather-bonneted warrior chief danced to the drum beat of weird rhythms. Others Noted From the Cherokees in South Carolina were learned the songs and dances of Chief Walking Stick and from the Crows of the northern plains the Laubins became adept at the Grass Dance.

Preceding each dance the performers explained the sig nificance and symbolism of movement and costume. They demonstrated the universal "hand language" understood by Indians of all tribes re gardless of their spoken lang uage. Grizzly bear claws, necklaces from the bones of the front legs of deer, angora goat hair, silver jewelry and intricate bcadwork and the vivid flash of dress and hian kct gave lo the evening's en tertainment a quality rarely found at a dinner club pro gram. Native Culture Mr. Laubin expressed re gret that more Americans are not aware of this rich heri tage. He commended those artists who have preserved some of the Indian culture and urged greater encourage ment of the dance as one of this nation's most valued forms of native culture, say ing that it may soon be loo late to capture and preserve ! this background.
