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.
