To Present
Dancers
The Thurston studio will

Dance" at Mcdford High
school Monday, June 3, at
7:30 p.cr. The public is in
vited and no charge will be
made.
Featured offering of t h e
evening will be the ballet
"Beauty and the Beast." Mr.
and Mrs. Harold Thurston, op
erators of the school, state
that this ballet promises to
be better than "Swan Lake"
which was presented in a
similar program last year.
The lead roles will be danc
ed by Susan Gilford as Beau
ty, and Bruce Guenther as
the Beast and the Prince. Oth
er leading dancers are Sheri
Bethcll, Stephanie Parkinson,
Susan Kimball, Marcia Sam
ple and Buff Pratt.
Other characters are birds,
fireflies, butterflies, a wolf
and even a beetle.
The first part of the show
will be of a variety nature,
with dances from various
countries and tap, character,
ballet, jazz and acrobatic
numbers.
The Thurstons ask that no
pre-school children be brought
to the performance. In the
past at music, dance and dra
matic performances it has
been proven that very small
children disrupt and Interfere
with the program, they point
out. "A great deal of work
and expense has been put
Into this program, and we
want those in the audience to
enjoy it without disturbance,"
the couple stated. "We do in
vite older children and fam
ily members to attend the
show; we believe it will be
an enjoyable and entertain
ing evening."
The Thurstons further stat
ed that the shows are given
without charge in order that
everyone may have an op
portunity to see ballet pupils
and other student dancers per
form. DeMolay Plans

Communications Subject
Of Knife-Fork
Ashland 'The greatest
pioneering feat in all history
was John Glenn's orbiting the
earth," declared Charles Sea
vey, speaker at the Tuesday
night dinner meeting of the
Siskiyou Knife and Fork club.
The scientist held an aud
ience of more than 75 listen
ers in rapt attention as he un

of the wonders of space com
munication. Dr. P. Malcolm Hammond,
president of the club, intro
duced the Portland guest af
ter he had outlined next
year's tentative program of
six dinner meetings begin
ning October 3 taV'H
sometime in April. ,t
The astounding repetition
of the first autronaut's suc
cess, the events leading up to
the launching of Telstar I
and Telstar II and the excit
ing new adventures lying
ahead furnished the speaker
with an hour's rapid fire lec
ture lightened by sleight of
hand tricks and by demon
stration of various space sat
ellite replicas.

Speaker
The incomprehensible dis
tances of space and the speed
of light make necessary faster
transportation to bridge the
stars in our own planetary
system, said Mr. Seavey. His
acquaintance with electronic
developments at the Bell lab
oratories gives him first-hand
knowledge of U.S. communi
cations achievements which,
in spite of Soviet claims, are
leading the scientific field.
U.S. Utilitarian
According to Mr. Seavey
the United States "has gone
for the more utilitarian while
the USSR has sought the spec
tacular." He spoke of the first
Explorer sent up by the Unit
ed States, "which is still send
ing back information on the
Van Allen radioactive belt
around the earth and on tem
peratures and meteorites." He
demonstrated recordings of
Explorer which came through
in a deeper tone than did the
high pitched voice of Sputnik
I.
The scientist showed an
exact duplicate of Vanguard
I, about eight inches in di
ameter, which Khrushchev
dubbed "an a, avated grape
fruit." It has already recorded
650 miles of tape and has
proved among other things
that the earth is slightly pear
shaped and that light exerts
pressure. The Vanguard is
powered by Bell solar bat
teries. Gravity Misunderstood
Mr. Seavey reminded his
listeners that Albert Einstein
had little success in getting
scientists to accept his revolu
tionary theory and said thut
one of the least understood
laws is that of gravity. Illus
trating the fact with a rope
trick.
"We are members of the
most unique generation in all
history," he declared," and
we have .not even begun to
unravel the marvels of the
universe. I predict a yet more
exciting and progressive age
ahead."
At the conclusion of his talk
Mr. Seavey answered ques
tions from the audience. When
asked about the Mariner now
orbiting the earth he said
that it may uphold or upset
what the astronomers have
told us, already it has re
vealed that Venus with a
temperature of 800 degees
Fahrenheit is uninhabitable.
He also said that Telstar II
will be visible over Oregon in
July and August. The two Tel-
stars are the only satellites
built and paid for by private
funds. All information Is given
to the government, however,

If the Broadway Theater league had its troubles this
season, so did Broadway itself. The local league had to
weather the problems of two cancelations, but is appar
ently all set now to wind up the season with a good show.
Elsa Lanchester, the British actress and entertainer and
widow of Charles- Laughton, is scheduled to put on her
one-woman show here Tuesday night at the Holly, and re
views on it have been good. It's been quite some time since
we last saw Miss Lanchester in a movie, and since we have
never seen her in person, we're looking forward to her
appearance here.
Eugene and Portland leagues, as well as cities in vari
ous other parts of the country, also had to find substitutes
for Dame Judith Anderson, and then other substitutes for
Tallulah Bankhead when her play, "Here Today," folded
for some reason or the other. Determined not to let the
season end without a decent fourth offering, the Mcd
ford board started wiring and phoning to agents up and
down the coast and came up with the Lanchester show.
We read in the Eugene Register-Guard that the BTL
struggled through three cancelations and now has offered
patrons their money back. With heads battered but un
bowed, and a few hundred dollars still in the coffers, the
Eugene board has adopted a "wait and see" attitude for
next season.
After reading the Guard, we weren't too surprised to
pick up a clipping from the New York Times with a head
line which read "Broadway Ending Its Worst Season." The
story said stage investors lost more than $5 million, and
the paper attempted to analyze the reasons. Of 49 produc
tions, only seven now running are expected to show profits,
and this, it was said, is worse than conditions at the depths !
of the depression. The writer, Milton Esterow, said the !
reasons were poor plays, new and stricter supervision of j
tax-deductible entertaining and the growing tendency for
business and industry to entertain less lavishly. He also
listed the newspaper strike last winter, rising ticket prices,
the increasing popularity of art films, the Wall street slump
of last May and the growing apathy of the public because
of extensive promotion of poor shows.
In spite of all this, most of the producers polled by
the paper were optimistic and said that basically Broad
way is healthy and that while it will be harder to raise
money for plays and musicals in the future, the theater
will continue in New York City as usual.
The three plays which are booked for Medford this
coming season are all established "hits." "The Sound of
Music" is the story of the famous Trapp family, "Take Her
She's Mine" is a comedy which has had a long run and
"A Man for All Seasons" has overtones of morality and
religion which are said to make it a favorit" with many
theater fans. A fourth play has not yet been chosen.
Producing Director Angus Bowmer of the Oregon
Shakespearean festival, has been saying for years that if
good theater was to take its true place in the culture of
America, it must not be confined just to Broadway and a
few other large cities. That many others also believed this
is shown by the hundreds of little theater groups through
out the land, the many drama festivals, the excellent schools
of drama and theater at colleges and universities and by
such movements as the Broadway Theater league. The lat
ter, like Civic Music, is the banding together of those in
terested in a theater season to sell memberships in advance
and thus guarantee the season.
Paul Gardner, also writing in the New York Times,
recently reviewed the "truck and bus" shows and said that
164 cities had been served by these troupes, and some mil
lion and a half patrons had attended their productions. Na
tional Performing Arts is responsible for many of these
traveling companies and a vice president, Julian Olney,
said recently that after one year, four companies grossed
about $5,000,000. These were "Mary, Mary," "Carnival,"
"A Shot in the Dark" and "The Sound of Music." The first
three played here last year and the fourth is coming for
the 1963-64 season.
Mr. Olney pointed out that the truck and bus method
takes good theater to small cities and remote areas where
otherwise there would be little or none. He said "Mary,
Mary" played the Julia Marlow theater in Great Falls,
Mont., and it was the first show to play there in more
than 25 years.
So, the past season for the Broadway theater league in
Oregon may have been rough in spots, but the outlook is
hopeful. However, we agree with whoever wrote in the
Eugene Register-Guard that the quality of Broadway plays
is somtimes disappointing. Theater patrons in university
cities such as Eugene, with the college to set standards,
and such as Medford where we have excellent theater from
the Shakespearean festival, Southern Oregon college and
our high schools, aren't going lo settle for second rate j
theater. I
This morning's dispatches about the condition of Pope
John brought to mind a paragraph from the last letter i
vrittcn from Rome by Margaret Schuler, author of the col
umn Vcni Vidi, carried in The Tribune. Mrs. Schuler j
wrote: "The poor Pope. I think he is wonderful about
a century ahead of his time and of all his pompous cohorts.
He has not had an easy time. He has cancer, I hear, and
if he dies it remains to be seen whether all this work will
have been in vain. The little people priests and con-:
ference members many of them think as he does, and
I believe the Americans as a whole do, but the Italian j
hierarchy, the cardinals and high officials, are said to be
against him." O.S.
