Dr. McCluer declared that more

“This situation is particularly

Broadway Player
Held Over Here
By DOROTHY KREIS
Because of the students’ de
mand and his popular reception
on the Oregon campus, Mr. Louis
Lytton, actor from Broadway,
who gave Shakespearean inter
pretations to technical drama
classes and Shakespeare classes
today, was asked by Dean C. V.
Boyer of the college of arts and
letters, to appear again Monday
in the Guild theater at 3 o’clock.
Admission is free.
Mr. Lytton, a Bostonian by
birth, made his theatrical debut
at 14 in the role of Osric in “Ham
let.” He then joined the Castle
Square stock company.
In the recent Broadway hit,
“Merry Wives of Windsor,” Mr.
Lytton, an average-sized man
donned some extra padded pound
age to fit the role of Falstaff,
who in his own words claimed to
be “In the waist two yards
about.”
In a comment concerning his
acting in that production, William
John Tucker, Shakespearean au
thority of the University of Ari
zona, said “His elocutionary work
sinks and rises apparently with
out effort, for his art is perfectly
concealed.”
During his career of touring,
acting, and directing he has
played with George M. Cohan in
“Welcome Stranger,” has ap
peared for three years in “Othel
lo,” and has undertaken the por
trayal of Dr. Stockman, one of
his favorite parts, in Ibsen's "An
Enemy of the People.”
Horace Robinson, assistant pro
fessor of the Oregon drama de
partment, made arrangements for
his appearance on the Oregon
campus.
