OF THE JOURNAL MORE LESS HEAT COST Qreen Slabwood ordered now while deliv eries are assured will mean materially less money for next winter's heating. Prompt Delivery Can Now Bo Made on Factory Blocks Timber P Company By HAROLD HI NT (Drama Editor, Oregon Journal.) Honestly, I didn't come to south ern Oregon to write a review of southern Oregon's Shakepearehn Fes tival, but I'm glad to have the op portunity, for I want to tell you all that you've got something here. Take Friday night's "Hamlet," for Instance. It was a revelation to me, amply repaying me many times over for the effort It took to come and It was an effort beforehand, for I had to get out the work of several days In one to gain time off for the trip. Naturally, In ten years of reviewing, I've seen Shakespeare In many forms and always I've enjoyed the oppor tunities offered, I can say, In all sincerity, southern Oregon may welt be proud of her non-profcssfonal sons and daughters who are present ing this 1038 festival. Speaking of the players, I'd like to put each one on the spot top spot. But in "Hamlet," William Cottrell Just wouldn't let me be that Im partial. His Polonlus will evpr be a pleasing memory and his Firs. Grave Digger, which followed the demise of Polonlus, marks him a comedian of parts, too. Grace Forsyth gave Just th hard ness needed to make her Queen Oer trudo believable; Angus Bowmer was most satisfying Hamlet; Dorothy Prulit was an Ophelia I could ap preciate after the never-to-be-for gotten Ophelia of the Stratford-upon- Avon players, and that's saying a lot. Tom Falrchlld's King Clnudlus, Harry Prleatly's Laertes, Gordon Davis's Horatio In fact, evry char acterization gave ovldence of Director Bowmer's understanding leadership and of a fine spirit of coooeratlon. You have a natural In the way of an open-air theater In the old Chautauqua amphitheatre, and a per fect background for the simple Eliz abethan staging which, to my mind, brings out the best In Shakespeare. And you have a true artist in Lois Bowmer, for the costuming in "Ham let" proved as colorful and as satis fying as any I can recall. Believe me, I'm planning to come back next year, fate willing, and I hope to make my friends in Portland and other parts of the Paclfie north- I west realize Just what they are miss ing, come 1939.
