Readings Highlight
Robinson's Lecture
(Continued from parjc one)
warn their daughters about, and
the scene of cockfights, gambling,
ami illicit love making, Robinson
said.
Kssential Art
“This Property is Condemned”,
a short one act play which Rob
inson presented in its entirety, is a
summarization of the Moonlake
philosophy and represents, more
completely than any of his other
plays, the essential art of Tennes
see Wililams, he said.
"The guarded and faded gentil
ity of a Southern woman faced by
the realiaztion that her dream
world no longer exists and the un
requited love of these women are
also interwoven themes of the
playwright’s best known works,”
Robinson continued. “Those who
demand a greater variation and
wider breadth in the themes of his
works will have to wait until deep
er experiences of living give Wil
liams the.se qualities.”
Wililams, Robinson said, faces
insecurity when he attempts to
create characters outside of those
who existed in his own youth. He
may be afraid to go further until
maturity broadens his own experi
ence. Yet Williams continues to
create "new masterpieces” with
variations on these themes and by
lepeating with reverent regularity
the lovely names of the old South,
including Moonlake casino, Robin
son said.
Cautions Critics
“The blame of the critics, who
have been cautious in evaluating
this author, may in actuality be
the virtue of Williams' plays,” he
declared. Robinson referred to the
fact that Williams bases his writ
ings almost entirely on events and
characters out.of his own past.
He pointed out that Williams'
family, including the playwright, is
vividly represented in the charac
terization of “The Glass Menag
erie.”
“I like Tennessee Williams,”
Robinson stated, “despite the fact
that he sometimes seems occupied
with sex and decadence. That is his
own problem. We can only evalu
ate what he has written.”
Robinson named Williams as the
author for which the 20th Century
may well be remembered. Williams
has already eclipsed his contempo
raries including Sherwood Ander
son and Eugene O’Neli. \
Surpassing O’Neil
“Although there might never
have been a Tennessee Williams
without an O’Neil, he is now sur
passing 'the old master,” he main
tained.
The playwright's inexperience in
the theater is offset by his dra
matic imagination, Robinson said.
He listed the success elements of
Williams best known plays as the
strength of action, the brilliant
color lent to the staging effect, and
the obligatto of contrasting sounds
offstage which did a poignant qual
ity to the presentation.
The readings for the evening in
cluded excerpts from “Streetcar
Named Desire,” “Summer and
Smoke,” and “The Glass Menag
erie.” Robinson also presented li
descriptive biography of the play
wright.
Loyalty Oaths Feared Freedom Threat
By UO Law School Professor Howard
Charles G. Howard, professor
of law, told the Springfield Realty
board Tuesday that academic free
dom is threatened by "loyalty”
oaths.
He told the group that theer are
two types of oaths: oaths of alle
giance and “negative” oaths of loy
alty. * •
The taking of loyalty oaths
solves no problems and reduces the
citizen’s respect for self and oth
ers, he said. The oath of allegiance
is required of public officials and
is just, and should be required from
all officials to attest thejr loyalty
to America, Howard believes.
He cited instances of Commu
nists taking oaths of loyalty and
lying in taking them to .support
