PAGE FIVE E X-Ray Evidence Corrobor ates Theory Earl of Ox ford Real Author of Plays, By Gladwin Hill New York, Dec. 13. X-ray evidence that three world famous paintings supposedly of William Shakespeare actually are of the Earl of Oxford in terpreted as corroborating the theory that the Earl was the real author of "Shakespeare's" plays was reported today by Charles W. Barrell, photographis expert and prominent Shakespearean student. After three years' research and investigation with X-ray and infra-red ray photography, Barrell said in an article in the forthcoming issue of Scientific American magazine that he was convinced the portraits had been "doctored" soon after Ox ford's death to conceal evidences of nobility and protect the fam ily name from the contempor ary stigma of connection with the theater. "Doctoring" Revealed The pictures are the "Ash bourne portrait, of uncertain authorship, in the Folger Shake speare library at Washington, D. C; the "Janssen" Shake speare in the same gallery; and the "Hampton Court" Shake speare in the British Royal col lection. X-ray pictures of the "Ash bourne" portrait which he made in 1937, Barrell said, revealed under crude later additions to the picture: On a ring, the boar's head seal of the Oxford family; Hidden in the background, the crest of Oxford's wife's family, the Trenthams; A large ruffled collar, an appurtenance of nobility, which had been reduced to more bourgeois dimensions; Forehead and hair strik ingly similar to Oxford's, which had been disguised; In the background, the ini tials of Cornelius Ketel, a great Dutch painter, to whom Bar rell attributes the picture. Alterations Found 'An age inscription, identify ing the subject as Shakespeare, also was analyzed, he said, as a spurious addition. Barrell found similar altera tions in noble dress in the other two pictures. The claim of the Oxfordians was first advanced seriously in 1920 in J. Thomas Looney's "Shakespeare identified in Ed ward De Vere, the Seventeenth Earl of Oxford." Like the Bac onians and those who argued in favor of the authorship of the Earls of Rutland and Derby, the Oxfordians proceeded upon the prior belief that the Stratford actor could not possibly have written the works attributed to him. The Earl of Oxford was a lyric poet of some merit and had befriended many men of letters. Livestock Portland Portland, Ore., Deo. 18. (AP-U.S. D A.)
