6 A MONDAY. AUGUST 19. 1963 MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD. OREGON 611111 We hope that everyone who attended Saturday night's performance ot the Britt Music festival in Jacksonville en joyed the evening as much as we did. Somehow, it was one of those evenings that turn out Just right. For one thing, we didn't have to hurry unduly ana arrived with time enough before the concert started to leisurely make our selves comfortable in an advantageous spot on the hillside. Pal Peg from the News Room was our companion and before long we were joined by Mrs. H. L. Roberts, whom both of us have come to know through Civic Music, since she was secretary for a number of years. Mrs. Roberts said she had attended several of the concerts given the first week of the new festival; the three of us agreed that the hillside with its pine and madrone trees is a good setting and that the festival board had accomplished wonders in such a brief time. . There were many familiar faces in the large audience the Allan Perrys, Mr. and Mrs. Chandler Drew, Mrs. Tom Williams, Ada Knackstedt, Dr. and Mrs. Herbert Cecil from SOC and the Otto Frohnmayers among others. Both Dr. and Mrs. Cecil and the Frohnmayers were accompanied by the American Field service students who will live in their homes during the coming year. Bart de Beer irom 'ine new erlands. a Euest of the Frohnmayers, greeted us in the for mal European fashion with charming as contrasted to the from so many young Americans. The Cecils, with Mrs. Cecil's two daughters and their ' AFS euest Christlane Hoberg ncd to spend this week at Honeyman State park on the Ore gon coast vacationing. Since Miss Hooerg is a competition swimmer, they chose Honeyman because the park has a large swimming pool where she will be able to work out daily. . Potpourri was in the mood for music, and found the concert numbers thoroughly satisfying, wnen uretei anan. lev came on stage for her flute solo number, we were sur prised to find that she . had taken off her neck brace-Miss Shanlcy was in an automobile accident only a few days be fore the festival opened ana is wearing one oi mose con t -,llors around the neck which accident victims hate so thoroughly but are forced to ever, aiter her solo numbers, before taking her place in the orchestra. In spite of the injury, Miss Shanley gave a fine per formance. We hope to hear her in an indoor concert some time where every small sound of the delicate Instrument can be enjoyed to the fullest. ' The program seemed to end too soon - we were reluct ant to leave the festive area with the path marked with luminarias - these are nothing more than paper sacks part ly filled with sand in which one sticks lighted candles, but they are most effective. They look cheerful and decorative , and serve the double purpose of marking the paths and road ways. We were told that Bert Pree had suggested their use after the first night concert when some of the patrons had difficulty In makina their way down the slope to the road. The sight of the luminarias was a familiar one to Pal Peg since she lived for years In New Mexico where they are used by the thousands at cnristmas ana otner nouaay times. We had parked the Road Bennett's studio and seeing lights on and ine aoor open nos nitably. the two of us went calling. It was a happy decislon- we found not only Eugene but Dr. and Mrs. Harry Daniel son, young Ben Trowbridge and his charming wife, as well as Ray Lewis, Bruce West, Robby Collins, and other callers. Mr. Bennett is in the process of converting an old Jacksonville saloon Into a studio where he both works and dlsDlavi his DalntinKs. To be able to follow the delightful music with a pleasant hour and sculpture made the evening one to rememoer. coin Peg and Potpourri were pleased to learn that the artist, who has been busy both with tne scaping, plans to get busy soon more paintings with a floral great favor with many of his following. Mrs. Daniclson said regretfully that she had not been able to visit all the studios, galleries and art shows in the valley this summer. This brought to mind a matter which we often think about-20 years ago interest in art in Med ford and vicinity was limited to a small group and art ac tivities had little space in The Mail Tribune. Now Were are artists - both professional and amateur - on practically every street in every town and city, there are galleries and studios with interesting exhibits and the many phases of art constitute one of the area's main interests and pleasures. Potpourri urged Mrs. Danlelson to visit the Fontaine studio (it is Mr. Bennett's former location in Medford) and see the work of Roberto Clabani who recently came to Med ford from Italy. We had promised to write something about his exhibit, but the days have been over-flowing this sum mer - the busiest we can ever remember since joining the Tribune staff. The group didn't talk about art all the time, however. The conversation turned this way and that and even Bruce West's sweater came in for comment. He was wearing a sim ply mammoth white hand knit garment that came well down on his ample frame and which was fashioned with an un usual pattern. Had the maker been present he, or she, could have had a number of orders in no time at all. As the two of us rolled back to Medford with the warm wind around us and the gorgeous star-filled sky overhead we agreed that those who had chosen to stay Indoors all evening had cheated themselves.-O.S.
