Newspaper Page TextShakespeare Players Please Large Crowd With Julius Caesar4 . With the presentation of Sha'Jispeare s powerful politi cal tragedy, "Julius Caesar" last night in Ashland, the fourth of the 1952 Oregon Shakespearean festival plays was launched. Living up to the heavy advance ticket sales, the play drew one of the largest audiences ever to see a Monday night perform ance, Monday being traditionally a poor theater night. "Julius Caesar" while popu lar with both actors and aud iences, draws heavily upon the resources of any company. The cast is extremely large and the possibilities for interpretation in the roles of Caesar, Marcus Brutus, Cassius and Marcus An tonius are many. As was to be expected, the Ashland company is equal to the task and last night's ?udience saw a produc tion polished and refined both as to acting, costuming, light ing and direction. Festival Fans Pleased Many festival fans who fol low the plays closely from year to year and who wait with ex citement for. the announcement of castings, were exceedingly pleased when William Oyler, Sacramento, Calif., was cast as Brutus. This fine actor fulfill ed their expectations last night in his sensitive portrayal of the honorable Brutus, "noblest Ro man of them all." To play Bru tus an idealistic, thoughtful, gentle, yet forceful man, is no easy task but in young Oyler the festival has an actor equal to that task. However, one cannot say that Oyler is the star for. that would be an injustice to Bill Ball, Phil ip Hanson and H. Paul Kliss. Kliss is superb as Caesar, the arrogant, confident, even con temptible leader who yet at tracted the love and loyalty of his fellowmen. As for Hanson, festival audiences know when they find his name on the pro gram that they will see a skill ful characterization. This was true last night, for his talents are well suited to playing the fanatical and choleric Cassius who influences Brutus to adopt a political course which leads to the death of both. . Bill Ball Credited : To Bill Ball, the young drama student from New York, goes credit for the most exciting scene of the play the one in which Anthony incites the mob of Roman citizens and which in cludes the famous, "Friends, Ro mans, Countrymen" speech fam iliar, to drama - lovers -everywhere. Of course, one does not forget that the actor is not work ing alone. He first has the pow er of Shakespeare's words and second the responsive action of the mob, in this case carefully coached by Director Alien Flet cher, to build up the tension. Nonetheless young Ball, with his glowing stage personality make the entire scene one to be re membered, and his entire port rayal of the dashing, reckless Anthony is of high caliber. High Level of Action The time-worn phrase "space does not permit" could well be dusted off and used here be cause the cast of "Julius Caesar" is fruly too large to be enumer ated in any review. However, one cannot pass by Angus Bow mer, who played Casca and who always brings a warm response from the audience. There was also Dion Chesse as Octavius Caesar, John Bethencourt as Cicero, Tom Brennan with his bright bit of acting as the cob bler in the opening scene and many others who contributed to the high level of dramatic action which the play maintatns. It is good that both Eleanor Prosser and Marjorie Lovberg, who play Portia and Calpurnia, are cast in other plays where their talents can be better dis played than in the few lines which "Caesar" gives them. We particularly liked Miss Prosser's scenes as the anxious wife of Brutus. Perhaps others will disagree, .but this reviewer believes the music, written especially for the play, is unsuitable. Music is, of course, the universal language which transcends time and other influences, but if the music, as played last night, is supposed to set the mood of the play, we be lieve it is the wrong mood. The music we found harsh, discord ant and unpleasant. While politi cal discord is the main theme of the play, it also treats of human INSULATE!

Could the strange music be in any way responsible for the fact that the play left us with the un easy sensation that there was something lacking, some mean ing or. message which had not been conveyed or which we had failed to grasp and which would have made the entire evening a more satisfying experience? We were, however, highly intrigued and resolved to see the play once or twice more. There is more to "Julius Caesar" than can be absorbed in one evening. O.S. North Carolina To Be 'Disaster Area' . Washington U.R) Federal officials promised "disaster area" status to rain -starved North Carolina Tuesday and in dicated Louisiana and Rhode Island soon may join the fast- growing list of states eligible for emergency drought loans.

The designation allows the Agriculture Department's Farm ers' Home Administration to make emergency loan? to farm ers in the area who have suf fered crop and livestock losses, and who are unable to get private credit to buy seed, feed and other items needed to keep their farms going. " Bank Employee Held For Embezzlement Portland (U.R)V An ex bookkeeper of the Sixth and Morrison Branch of the First National bank was in' custody of Deputy 'U. S.

Egypt's Waf d Party Continues Cleanup Cairo, Egypt OJ.R) The Wafd party, Egypt's biggest, purged 12 members of Parliament from its ranks Tuesday in a cleanup cam paign.

Insurance Against Suits Present drought areas of the East and South .are urban and rural, freely intermixed. As the result, only one rain - making project has been publicized and that one has $500,000 insurance against suits. But in the mountain and des ert states of the West, where towns are far apart and rain helps everyone, professional rainmakers are numerous. The best available statistics show they have contracted to produce rain if and when they can, over more than one - third the area west of the Mississippi. Few in Eastern States East of the Mississippi, the profesional rain-makers are very few in number and are disinclin ed to advertise their prowess, in contrast to their Western breth ren. One, Wallace E. Howell As sociates, now is preparing to produce rain in the parched Connecticut River Valley. To bacco farmers are paying the fee and also the premium on the insurance. Dr. Howell was employed by New York City in 1950 when its reservoirs were threatening to run dry. It rained more than the normal amount that sum mer and he is named along with the city in 116 pending suits asking $1,250,000 in damages. The plaintiffs are farmers who didn't need so much rain and resort keepers whose business always is hurt by rain. Court Precedents Needed What is needed before profes sional rain-making can progress are court precedents establish ing degrees of responsibility and a national law or uniform state laws that will permit drought areas to save themselves by rain making if they can, even if ad jacent areas get so much rain it hurts certain kinds of busin ess.
