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. 0 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 the first words ever spoken over a talking machine. Edison said them himself in 1877 when he was try ,ing out his phonograph. * * * boob-"Dictes and Sayings of the Philosophers". The first printing press in the New World was estab- lished in Mexico 4. *in 154 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 "Old"at 40 50, 607 Be Wise!.

WISE and BATEMAN Phone 147 -Clinton * * * 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, an increase of eight per cent over 1952; as .consumer prices remained Pinch off pieces of dough and roll into one inch -balls.
