Will Open
Festival

sTRATFORD, Conn, June 9
(AP). The sixth American
Shakespeare Festival began a
summer : long run yesterday
with an intriguing version of
Twelfth Night, I" starring Kath-
arine Hepburn.
The titian-tressed actress and
the surrounding company have
injected superb comic fair into
the classic caprice of mixup
mischief.
Most noticeably. there is a
new vocal grace in Miss Hep
burns armory of skill. Her
Viola emerges a genteel TOM
boy, almost completely devoid
of the tonal mannerisms made
familiar by Hepburn mimics.
With her are Donald Davis
as a Saturnine Duke of Illyria !;
Margaret Phillips as the love-
lorn Olivia, Loring Smith as
Sir Toby Belch. o. 2. White
head as Sir Andrew Aguecheek
and Richard Waring as NAL
volio.
Director Jack Landau, sue
ceeding John Houseman this
year as the festivals overall ar
tistic director, has evoked an
ensemble effort that is a high
point in the festivals long
ranged drive for establishing a
Shakespearean style free of i'm
itating traditional English
method.

when nary a response was
heard from Democratic can

Whereupon a low voice from

she arrives at a party, there
by destroying the chic look

she had so carefully planned
in dressing for the affair.
All the women at Mrs.
James Mitchell's table-in-
Guiding Mrs. Thomas Mann,
Mrs. Thomas White and Mrs.
Andrew Berding-agreed that
a corsage does about as much
for a daytime costume as a
geranium would do for an
evening dress. Yet host
esses at big luncheons today
are so afraid the guest Of
honor will feel sighted if
she doesn't receive some
posies for her shoulder, that
they automatically present
one out Of the generosity of
their hearts.
For instance, the cabinet
wives found out in advance
that the First Lady was 60
ing to wear a Scaasi jewell
tone satin print dress with
matching hat and shoes, but
where would they get jewell
tone flowers suitable for a
corsage? So they pre-
sented her with a lovely one
Of pale pink and white or
chids which. as pretty as it
was in itself. introduced two
light new tones and more
flowers to her three -colored,
lowered. printed, carefully
matched outfit.

this anti-fashionable custom?
