UO Student Actors Film 'Hamlet'
• In Open Theater, Patio, Gravel Pit
y What would you do with about
StO to spare and time on your
hands? Five University Theater
regulars faced with that situation
came up with a unique solution.
They made a movie.
The five are Jim Blue. A1 Earz
man, Lois Williams, Martha Sta
pleton and Eob Chambers. The
movie is a parody on "Hamlet.''
Blue, possessor of an 8 mm
movie camera, directed the under
taking. The other four became the
principle—in fact the only—actors.
Plans called originally for a seven
minute film, but, said Blue, "every
body got ideas as we got into the
thing.” "Hamlet,' necessarily silent,
ended up running a full forty min
utes.
The whole undertaking took sev
eral weeks, he explained, with the
participants, including Phil Sand
ers and Bob McNeil who handled
lighting and sets, spending half
clays on the production during
weekends.
Five minutes of film, he said,
represented about 5 hours of plan
ning, staging and shooting.
Unique in this local version of
Hamlet, Blue said, is the adapta
t:on of the Shakespearian classic
which lops off characters and
scenes right and left. “Hamlet”!
was selected by the group, he ex
plained. “because classics are the
safest bet.”
Barzman plays the pai t of Ham-1
let. Miss Williams is presented as j
Ophelia, Miss Stapleton appears as
the queen and Chambers takes the i
part of the king—and everybody
else left.
Chambers does his job well. Blue
commented, though running into
some difficulty in the final mo
ments of the tragedy when, as five

If other drivers were mind-readers, you
wouldn’t have to give hand signals.
Unfortunately they’re not. So when
you make a sudden turn or stop with
out signalling, you run the risk of an
accident.
Protect your car and yourself by
learning the correct, legal signals and
using them properly. In this way you
tell other drivers what you are going
to do before you do it.
Remember—hand signals are more
important today because there are
more cars than ever on the road. Don't
take a chance—make hand signalling
a habit.
Be careful—the life you save may be your own!
