Skakespearean
Comedy Closes
Ashland Season
By CORINNE WOODARD
You just get settled in your seat
when the lights dim for "Twelfth
Night," the final performance of
the 1951 season by Oregon's Shake
spearean Festival association, Sat
urday night, August 25, in Ashland.
Before the curtain goes Up, an
actor in the red and yellow trap
pings of a clown sings a prologue
before the footlights. Then he steps
aside while the curtain is drawn
and awaits his cue to join in the
play that has begun. You sense
a momentary nervousness in the
cast during this first scene, with
the actor playing Sir Toby Belch
"topping" another's lines. Then
both actors and audience settle
down for two hours of fun and
capers while the story written by
Will Shakespeare more than three
hundred years ago develops be
fore your eyes.
Now and then you steal a glance
at your guests business people
who do not profess to be Shake
speare fans to see how they
are responding to this play. You
find them enjoying it. With the
rest of the audience, they are
laughing over Malvolio's sancti
moniousness and Sir Andrew
Aguecheek's ineffectuality. With
them, too, they are aghast at
Olivia's falling in love with a girl
dressed as a young courtier in
the Duke of Illyria's train.
You've read the script, so you
know how the situation will be re
solved, but you are pleased to find
the archaic language made under
standable and the obscure by-play
brought to life. The cast seems
to enjoy the opportunity to clown
around, and the audience shares
that enjoyment. You feel that this
comedy was meant to be "corned
up" just to that extent.
Mslvolio is particularly well
played. His make-up is wholly
original, but faintly reminiscent of
the great George Arliss, and you
think what a great "Disraeli" this
actor would make.
Antonio, the sea captain, speaks
his lines too fast. The twin brother
and sister, Viola and Sebastian,
do not look alike, as they are sup
posed to. In fact, Olivia looks more
like Sebastian than Viola does.
But these are minor details, and
the whole adds up to a satisfying 1
evening with an excellent acting
troupe. You are glad tney nave
had such a successful season, and
look forward to next year's per
formances of "Julius Caesar,"
"Henry V," "The Tempest" and
"Much Ado About Nothing."

India Refuses To Sign
Peace Pact With Japan
(Continued from Page 1)
Bonln Islands instead of returning 4
them to Japan.
4. Allows American occupation
forces to stay on in Japan.
The treaty draft as written, In
dia concluded, contains the "seeds
of a new dispute" in the Far East,
and at the same time fails to re
store Japan to a position of "honor
equality and contentment among
the community of free nations."
Japan Wants Protection
Answering these criticisms, the
State department said that the
Japanese government and people
overwhelmingly want American
military protection in and around
Japan.
The American reply accused In
dia of using a curious yardstick
in advocating return of the American-occupied
Bonin and Ryukyu
islands to Japan while at the same
time complaining because Russia
did not get formal title to the
Kuriles and southern Sakhalin.
"The government of the United
States," it said, "does not claim
that the prospective treaty of
peace is in every respect perfect.
It involves adjustments such as
are the inevitable accompaniment
of any concerted human effort.
"The essential thing is that the
treaty is a peace treaty and is
drawn in terms which do not con
tain within themselves the seeds
of another war."
It would be "a grave hazard" to
peace In the ' Far East to strip
Japan of American defense forces
the U. S. note said, adding:
"It would be quite impracticable
and totally unwelcome for t h e-i
United States to help to defend
Japan if that were not wanted '
by the Japanese people."
