only. time I had the entrancing
pleasure or meeting her.
It was in Toronto some years
ago that I fell under the'spell; .of
this charming lady who has travel-
led across: the world' entertaining
millions with her eloquent per-
formances of pantomime, alone on
the stage; with the simplest of
props -a few scarves and some ex-
otic hats interpreting the foibles,
the pathos, the joys and loves- • of
all. manner of people. No yogi or
ballerina has quite been able to.
match Miss Draper's expressive
gestures of hands and arms, and
she has long since become the
queen of, her. particular theatrical
art. Not even'Dr. Frank'Guy
Armitage was so eloquent in his.
readings of Dickens. And. the pity
of it all is that there is no one
quite able to replace her as:a
straight elocutionist, that art hav-
ing disappeared -except for this
one instance' _ with the Chaut-
auqua shows.
On the same evening I talked
with Ruth Draper, I also met
Rosita Forbes, the young advent-
uress who had crossed the Arabian
Desert and wrote her first book
about it. And Miss Forbes was
enraptured by the elocutionist as
much as I was.

Hardly a child gets'beyond i
third year without, learning the
nursery rhyme, 'Mary Had
Little Lamb". But very few adults
know who wrote it: •
Sarah
The author's name was
Josepha Hale, who included the
lines in her "Poems ,for Our Child-
ren' in 1830. She was no femin-
ist, but she advocated education
for, women all through her career
and was herself ,the first
womn
to become editor of an American
magazine. She .was responsible
for the ' national`observances ed
Thanksgiving Day in the U t
States. The nursery rhyme first
appeared under the name f
"Mary's, Lamb"in "The Juvenil
Miscellany'
"Mary Had a Little Lamb. were

talking machine. Edison said them

It won't be all Shakespeare at
the Stratford, Ontario, Festival
this year - Sophocles' "Oedipus
Rex" is alsoto be played but
James Mason and Douglas Camp-
bell,of . London's Old , Vic and the
Ediburgh Festival, are not new
hands• to their roles. Since Alec
Guinness' played in the inaugural
festival last year so that he could
keep in touch with his, theatre
audience, Mr. Mason has thesame
thing in mind; and it won't be
difficult because the Stratford
stage, built to recapture the Eliza-
bethan atmosphere of the play,
reaches right out into the aud-
ience, being in one place only five
feet from the spectators, and
never more than 50 feet away:
There are 15 rows of seats en-
cii?cling the stage in this theatre -
tent which has a capacity of 1,900
people.
The "theatre" is somewhatuni-
que, made up of a cement base
and a roof consisting of three -and
-
a -half tons of canvas. Engineers
are trying something new this
year and will move the two main
interior tent poles to the outside,
and add two steel towers ' at the
marquee end of the theatre, from
which the centre -top of the tent
will be suspended.
Rehearsals commence May 17,
and the performances (with sup-
porting cast, principally Canad-
ians) will begin June 28. During
the eight weeks there will be 22
performances of "Measure for
Measure" and "The Taming of the
Shrew", and the 16 performances
of "Oedipus Rex" will make a
total of 60 shows. There will also
be 12 matinees in all.
All this brings to mind some
other firsts. The first known book
•to be printed from movable type
Was the. Bible, by Johannes Guten-
berg in Germany in 1455. The first
book in English was a history of
Troy in 1474, printed in Flanders
by William Caxton, who in 1475
printed "The Game and Playe of
Chesse", and who in Westminster

Since , Dr. Arthur R. Ford,
editor-in-chief of The London
(Ont.) Free Press, was given such
a unique citation by the Canadian
Managing Editors Conference ,at
Windsor, for his 50 years of merit-
orious service to Canadian jour-
nalism, I went back to his book,
"As the World Wags On" (Ryer-
son) to revive some of the admir-
ing memories I have of that great
newspaperman. It is a book that
only Arthur Ford could have writ-
ten, since there is no newsman
alive in Canada today who hob-
nobbed quite so much with such
people as Sir Sam Hughes, Lord
Bennett, Sir John Willison, P. D.
Ross, Howard Ferguson, and other
such stalwarts of the earlier part
of the century, the golden era of
young Canada.
It sharpens my appetite for a
forthcoming Ryerson book called
"A Reporter Reports", by Dr.
Ford's friend, I. Norman Smith,
associate editor of The Ottawa
Journal.
In 1953, wages, :salaries and sup-
plementary labor income reached
the record high of $11,655,000,000,

• Take A Tip
1. Shiny baking sheets produce
light, even browning of cookies
whereas dark pans cause brown.
ness before cookies are baked.
2. A deep sided pan does not allow
cookies to brown on top.
3. Bake second batch of cookies on

. pan. •
4. Bar cookies are usually more ilia-
-vourful and chewy than drop
cookies. However even the
Brownie recipe may. be used as
a drop cookie if you add two
extra tablespoons flour.
5. Todecorate cookies brush the
tops' lightly with milk or cream
then shake candy shot over them.
