1st Shakespearean
Festival Actors
Arrive in Ashland
Ashland The first mem
bers of the Shakespearean fest
ival acting company arrived in
Ashland Tuesday, to await aud
itions for festival roles next
Monday and Tuesday.
First to arrive were Allen
Fletcher, Yale university, festi
val director and actor; Bill
Ball, Carnegie Tech drama stu
dent and one of the most popu
lar members of the 1951 comp
any, and Michael Onofrio and
John Bethencourt, both Yale
students and new to the festival
this year.
Ball and Onofrio are in Ore
gon on acting scholarships of
fered by the festival associa
tion. Bethencourt is a native of
Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
Being first on the scene is
nothing new to Ball, a young ac
tor who played Feste in "Twelfth
Night" and Prince John in "Hen
ry IV" last season. He was the
first "outsider" to arrive for the
festival season last year.
Anybody Got a Lute?
- Music Director Asks
Ashland Shades of Hom
er! Anybody got a lute?
In case you have something
in the attic that you aren't quite
sure about, a lute is a pear
shaped instrument, alleged to be
musical, stringed, and with a
long "neck."
The rare instrument is sought
by Hans Lampl, music director
for the Shakespearean festival,
who wants to use one in the
new Elizabethan music program
here this year.
Lampl will arrive In Ashland
late this week, and will invite
all local musicians, whether in,
strumentalists or vocalists, to
meet him and audition for the
new program at the festival.
Festival officials stressed that
the program would be full-time
work for only a few musicians,
since the director plans to use
various groups alternately dur
ing the season. Rehearsal sched
ules will probably be set to
accomodate the musicians.'
And whether the lute is found
or not, the program will go on.
San Francisco Bay is one of
the few places in the world
where common salt is recovered
from sea water on a large icale
by solar evaporation.
