Shakespeare 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

dignity and noble ideals, which
are not unpleasant.
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.

New York U.R) The good

Truman Casts Vote
At Independence;
Ends Vacation
Independence, Mo. JU.R)
President Truman voted Tues
day in Missouri's primary elec
tion and ended his 10-day vaca
tion at the Little White House
in Independence.
Mr. Truman's DC-6 Independ
ence took off for Washington
from Fairfax airport in Kansas
City, Kan.
Took Three Minutes
The President and Mrs. Tru
man entered the voting booth at
Memorial Hall, about a block
from their famous house on
Delaware street, at 9:01 a.m.
Three minutes later they handed
their folded ballots to George
Wallace, Mrs. Truman's brother
and a Democratic election judge.
They posed briefly for pic
tures at the ballot box.
A photographer asked Mr.
Truman if he would tell how he
voted. -"
. "No. The ballot is secret," the
President said.
Photogs Accommodated
The president and Mrs. Tru
man walked back to the Little
White House slowly to accommo
date the photographers profes
sional and amateur.
- The presidential party depart
ed immediately for the airport.
Mrs. Truman will stay here
with her 90-year-old mother,
Mrs. David Wallace, who has
been ill.
White House Press Secretary

under a steady rain of law suits.
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
