Fitzgerald- Mrs. John Owen, 18514- By PEG 'BRIEN After an arduous a in "The Devil at 4 o'clock," Columbia star Mathews was relaxing at a mountain retreat above Palm Springs when we talked to him in California last week. Didn't get much information about his valentine, Contessa Gabriella Pianzola, who's scheduled to arrive from Rome this month.

"She's pretty and a nonprofessional and we're JUST GOOD FRIENDS," he allowed. Mathews' role of the young priest in "The Devil at 4 o'clock" was completed in January. For several weeks the cast, headlined by Spencer Tracy as the old priest and Frank Sinatra as the convict, was on location in Hawaii. And speaking of Sinatra we got to see his show at the Sands on the Strip in Las Vegas. He's still the hottest property on the Strip which was jumping with such luminaries as Bobby Darin, Jack Carter, Rosemary Clooney, Johnny Ray and Victor Borge and lounge headliners Sarah Vaughn, Ray Anthony, Duke Ellington, Roberta Linn, Dick Contino and Helen 'Connell.

We had four glorious days at the Stardust, our favorite inn at this desert playground. In the Cafe Continental of the Stardust we saw the third edition of the Lido show which generates more dazzling spectacles each season. With multi-stages the extravaganza creates breath-taking a rainstorm, Tyrolean water cascade, ice skating, fireworks, magnificent lighting effects and the paradox of exquisitely costumed nudes. Out here on the New Frontier they've gone daffy over the Gallic revue with the Riviera presenting "La Plume De Ma Tante" and the Tropicana "Folies Bergere." Our bellboy at the Stardust, Dick, 17, told us he was from Madison and came out here to work for Vane Weidenkopf, former Stardust bell captain now supervisor of services at the El Mirador in Palm Springs. Ray Ryan, native of Watertown, an internationally known tycoon, owns the El Mirador.

Weidenkopf is a former bell captain at the Loraine Hotel, Madison. Mrs. Hubert Myhr is back at 717 E. Court after two months in Florida. She visited her son-in-law and daughter, Mr.

A colorful exhibit of fabrics and wallpaper and the showing of two films augmented the interesting and informative lecture by Richard B. Douglas of the Color Center on "American Legacy: Fabrics from the Henry Ford Museum" at the February meeting of the Janesville Art League. Mr. Douglas, who was introduced by his wife, Nancy, is a graduate in art from Brown University, Providence, R. and attended The Rhode Island School of Design.

Before coming here he was an interior designer at Rockford; he is a member of A. I. D. Explaining that ha used the term "Americana" to designate things from the past, the speaker reviewed the history of wallpaper from the early colonial period (1600-1700) to the present time. Early designs were hand- created by stencils and the color filled in with tempera paint, and later with wooden blocks and oils.

The short papers were pasted together to form rolls and taken to the homes. Sometimes they were tacked to the walls along the seams. By 1850 hill machine print as we know it today was being produced. "Wa think we are modern with our matching fabrics and papers, but as early as 1750, England had introduced matching paper and bed draperies," said the speaker. "Borders were very elaborate with mica, leather, and other materials used for decoration, followed by deep swags in wide patterns.

"In 1850 Chinese scenic papers were imported in 12-foot lengths in sets of 40 at a cost of $400 or $500 only to be broken up and used in several homes! In the 19th century France exported panoramas to the United States printed by steel engravings in one color. They were used mostly in New England and depicted the Hunt, Classic and American Historic. Elaborate designs were created for ceilings, foyers and over mantels." Mr. Douglas showed examples of papers currently produced in France of India prints, crewel designs and a reproduction of an old "book paper." "The designs for documented papers are found in old trunk linings, hat boxes and band boxes. However, today, researchers in Americana abstract an idea of that feeling.

Their designs are not authentic reproductions of old papers but rather are gleaned from birth certificates, quilts and other objects in museums. Every home needs some get cannot get from painting!" Mr. Doug-! las staled. Regarding fabrics, the speaker said that early colonists were forced to buy British products until after the American Revolution when there was a great upsurge of productivity. Designs were first given to fabric? by stencils and later by block printing.

Housewives brought in their own materials which they had woven lo be blocked. The first power looms were used at Lowell, in 1810. By 1830 roller printing came into use. Massachusetts and Rhode Island became the center of the textile industry, and 1900 marked unbelievable of the industrial revolution. "Patterns and designs originally used for dressmaking or quilts are now used for draperies and upholstery.

Designs are now created from things seen in museums such as whaling ships, seals and flags, and some are hand- block-printed or stenciled. Wallpapers are still being hand- biocked are imperfections that can be machines give perfection!" he concluded. Two films, "Greenfield Village; Where Yesterday Lives Today," and "Henry Ford Museum; Panorama of the Past," were shown depicting 17th, 18th and 19th century life in America. Mrs. Richard Douglas, president, announced the nominating committee for the election of officers in March; Mrs.

Ernest W. Rost, chairman; Mrs. Peter Carr and Mrs. E. M.

Boylen. A special exhibit, "American Legacy Fabrics from the Ford Museum" was arranged in the foyer of the gallery by Mr. Douglas and Mrs. Donald Ryan, exhibit chairman. It features a new collection reflecting the life and work of colonial and 19th century America displayed with period furniture loaned by Robert Lane.

Part of the permanent collection of paintings from Beloit College is hung in the gallery. Both exhibits are open to the public and may be seen all this month. The decor of the luncheon featured ironstone and crystal compotes artfully heaped with cherries and flanked with lemon leaves to simulate the foliage of the trees associated with George Washington.
