Audience Responds
Appreciatively to
Elsa Lanchester
THUHbUAY. JUNE S. 1963
Veteran Actress Elsa Lan
chester Monday night paro
died an excerpt from a Greek
drama, "as Judith Anderson
might have done it."
When she had completed
the piece - done in rapid-fire
delivery with dramatic arm
gestures to match - she look
ed knowingly at the audience
for a moment and then crack
ed, "See what you missed?"
Miss Lanchester's perform
ance at the Holly theater be
fore a packed house of Broad
way Theater League mem
bers was the final production
of a season that almost came
up one short. Miss Anderson
had originally been sched
uled, and when she was forc
ed to cancel due to illness,
Tallulah Bankhead was book
ed in her stead.
But Miss Bankhead, too,
cancelled out, throwing the
Broadway Theater League,
and similar organizations up
and down the coast into a
near panic, until arrange
ments were made locally to
have Miss Lanchester fill in.
Appreciative Audience
If anyone at the Holly Mon
day night sorely regretted
the absence of the two previ
ously scheduled performers
after seeng Miss Lanchester's
jshow, he didn't make himself
evident. To the contrary, it
:vas a warm, appreciative au
Sdience that responded well
ilo the entertainer's particu
lar talents and one - woman
format.

William Brann Maunders
Jr., infant son of Mr. and
Mrs. William B. Maunders,
3543 Table Rock rd., died
Tuesday in a local hospital.
Funeral services will be
held at 10:30 a.m. Saturday
in Hillcrest Memorial chapel

cnts, Mrs. Agnes I. Maunders,
Virgil. S.D.; and Mr. and Mrs.
Henry Moeding, Huron, S.D.:
and several aunts and uncles.
Miss Lanchester told the
audience that she had been
a collecter of songs since she
was girl. She sang over 20
numbers during her perform
ance, most of them little
known. Music to at least two
of them had been composed
by her accompanist, Ray Hen
derson, a pleasing young man
who assisted the star in a
quiet, sensitive manner.
She opened with a win
some little piece, "Won't You
Buy My Sweet Blooming Lav
ender?" which set a falsely
poignant mood for the rest
of the show. Most of her num
bers were sophisticatedly sug
gestive ("I'm Glad to See
Vou're Back"), or just down
right ribald ("Un Bon Mouve
ment"). When she wanted the audi
ence to pick up a pun or a
double meaning in her lyrics,
Miss Lanchester made it easy
to do with an indescribable
variety of facial expressions
and body movements. In one
number, she dropped a shoul
der strap, and flirted sauci
ly with the audience over her
bare shoulder. At times, she
used an ever - present flow
ing scarf to draw attention
to other possible meanings to
the words she was singing.
once sne polished a micro
phone with it in a most dis
tracting manner.
Her Final Number
Her final number, "When
a Lady Has a Piazza," made
it clear to even the most
naive that the lady being
sung about wasn t a lady at
all, or that the "piazza"
wasn't merely an appendage
to her house. Miss Lanchester
had a way of singing a song
in a most demure manner,
while her eyes carried on an
outrageous separate perform
ance.
But it would be misleading
to fail to mention that here
and there she was able to
quiet and capture the audi
ence in a sentimental and
tender mood with such num
bers as "Catalogue Woman,"
an historical song about a
homely, neglected woman
who was awakened to life and
made happy and beautiful by
a frontier farmer from Mis'
souri who made the marriage
arrangements by ordering her
from a mail-order catalogue
If her voice lacked the fi-
delity and clarity of more ac
complished singers, and if
her dance movements were
sometimes stiff or jerky, it
surely detracted only slightly
from the total performance.
Professional skill, experience
and vivid personalities like
Miss Lanchester's are rare. It
was a delight to be in her au
dience. G.H.B.

Forms Available
Forms are available for all
children wishing to enroll in
the program, which continues
until Aug. 3. They may return
the form to the library near

Increased interest in the
reading program is expected
since the visitation of the li
brary by school classes en
joyed a "phenomenal" growth
this season, the library staff
noted Last year 32 classes
visited the library to become
acquainted with the services,
and this year 86 by early this
week.
The children's libririan
spent 15 to 20 minutes show
ing each group the shelves,
instructing them in ways to
choose the books available;
and entcrtnincd them with a
story. They were also given
a demonstration of the proper
care and repair of books. The
total of 86 classes did not
include children from kinder
gartens, St. Mary's academy,
Cub Scouts, Girl Scouts and
Boy Scouts, who also visited
in large groups to become ac
quainted with the library be
fore the close of school.
Collection of blood during
the first two visits of the
Bloodmobile to Jackson coun
ty this year have fallen far
below the quota set by the
Regional Blood Center.
The 1963 quota is 2.670
pints and, to date, only 500
pints have been collected lo
cally, according to Mrs. J. W.
Burba, Red Cross Blood pro
gram chairman.
The goal for next week's
visit will be 350 pints for
Medford, 150 pints for Ash
land and 100 pints for Central
Point.
Efforts are currently being
made to activate the local
program and encourage new
donors. A committee working
on the program has sent out
letters to the various organi
zations in the county asking
that chairmen be appointed
within each group to assist
with recruitment. Local mer
chants and businessmen also
are being contacted. Officials
are confident that the pro
gram will receive support
once the need is recognized.
Stresses Desperate Need
Mrs. Burba stressed the
desperate need for all nega
tive blood types at this time.
Frequently individuals having
negative blood stand-by so
they are available to serve
as walk-in donors; however,
the current need is serious
and Mrs. Burba urged that
donations be made directly
during the Bloodmobile visit
this week.
The Red Cross Bloodmobile
will be at the Red Cross
building, 60 Hawthorne ave.,
Medford, Monday, June 10,
from 2 to 6 p.m. and Tues
aay, June n, trom 10 a.m.
until 2 p.m.
It will be in Ashland at
the Elks club Wednesday,
June 12, from 1 to 6 p.m. The
bloodmobile will travel to
Grants Pass Thursday and
then return to Jackson coun
ty again Friday, June 14
when it will be at the Jewett
school in Central Point from
2 to 7 p.m.
Transportation will be pro
vided for persons living with
in a ten mile radius of Med
ford and baby sitters will be
available for persons wishing
this service.
Appointments may be made
for the drawing next week by
telephoning 773-3813. Per
sons between 18 and 59 years
old are eligible to donate, but
those between 18 and 21 years
old must have a written con
sent from their parents or
