invited to give three recitals at the
Royal Festival Hall. Throughout

invitations to play, to conduct, and
to lecture. He has frequently re

Heiller is especially famous for

“Heiller drew hitherto unheard
sounds from the huge instrument
with a combination of breath-taking
technique and supurb artistry.

Lena Nilsson Tours West;
Reports Summer Travels
Editor’s Note: The following article
is taken from a letter to Dean
Hixon written by Lena Nilsson, who
was a foreign student at Salem
from Sweden last year.
I thought you might want to
know that I have safely returned to
home and family in Sweden after
a marvellous summer’s travel in the
States. ... It gives such a broad
and therefore such a good picture
of what America really is like, and
what the American people are like.
I think I have learned how many
different ways of life there are
within what is known as THE
American way of life. ... I en
joyed it immensely and I thought
my two months of traveling went
by far too quickly. I kept my
diary, of course, but still I feel time
fooled me and skipped a day now
and then.
Waving good-bye to my room
mate Becky Matthews in Houston,
I was finally on the Greyhound
heading towards Dallas. ... I
stayed in Dallas only two days and
then changed Texas for New Mex
ico and Santa Fe. This little In-
dian-Spanish Anglo town charmed
me indeed, and I spent some won
derful days there. I talked to the
Indians outside the Governor’s
palace, I visited a pueblo and Los
Alamos, I shopped in art boutiques
and walked around in the museums
forever, or just along the streets.
Besides, I was perfectly charmed by
two little 9 and 5 year-old boys,
who cried when I left.
Then (were) Flagstaff, Grand
Canyon and Oak Ridge Canyon, the
pleasure in meeting another Spa
nish girl and the joy of a spaghetti
party with the people of Museum
of Northern Arizona. ... I stayed
with (my cousin in Los Angeles)
a week and attended her wedding
before leaving ... on July 4, going
to San Francisco. . . . That city is
truly unique and truly wonderful.
. . . When I finally arrived in
Salt Lake City I was several hours
late, but as usual the family was
very nice and understanding. After
having joined in family activities
and (swimming) in the Great Salt
Lake and (visiting) the Mormon
Temple Grounds, I was ready for
Wyoming. I fell perfectly, in, love
with the Tetons. That mountain
range has something extraordinary.
Jackson was exciting as I sat next
to Lynda Bird Johnson at “the
Center,” went waterskiing on Jack-
son Lake and hiking the mountains.
One whole day I was in Yellow
stone counting bears and looking at
Old Faithful. I was very, very
thrilled by Wyoming, especially
after having been terribly well re
ceived in Cheyenne also with an in
vitation to speak on the radip!
Then I went to the Black Hills and
Rapid City, saw Mount Rushmore
and went to a play, visited Dead-
wood and Lead, and had, indeed, a
good time. Then, over I went to
Minnesota to my sister’s American
family, and after that Chicago.
More relatives to see in Ohio and
the Niagara Falls on a cool and
misty day. Back to New York and
a couple of days’ visit with my
uncle in Connecticut. August skies
and cool temperatures but a warm
welcome from family and friends.
I have had two busy weeks as the
university starts August 25, but still
I have had time to think of my
wonderful year at Salem and my
terrific travel, and I am deeply
grateful that it was made possible
for me.

Teaching such currently popular
actors as Albert Finney, Peter
O’Toole and Hugh Griffith, Mr. Mil
ler is preserving and contributing
his rare combination of artistry and
craftmanship for the enjoyment of
future generations.
As Harold Hobson, theatre critic,
commented, “Hugh Miller gives the
impression of actually rejoicing in
every smallest detail of acting.
Nothing is trivial to him.”

For women, Gant makes shirts, not blouses.
The difference is in the tailoring, which reflects
In the fit, the flair, the look. Of course, the
cut is in women’s proportions. Most important,
Gant’s a shirt that elegantly "says” quality,
and it keeps saying it after myriad washings.
