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

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. In this the
Indian brave is attired in
feather arm shields, clanging
anklets and a headpiece of
porcupine hair and deer tail

as he achieves his enormous
feather bustle, won and
worn to prove his bravery.
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.
