A character .who was intro

greatest soldier king.
"King Henry IV, Parts 1 and

to give him an opportunity to

Last night at the Shakespearean
theater in Ashland this play
"Henry V" was given its sec

tival association's policy of pre
senting history plays in their
proper sequence has allowed
regular attendants of the per
formances to watch the growth
of a wild and carefree prince
into a noble and beloved king.
One Man Show
More than any other play in
the 1952 repertory of the festival
cast, this play is a "one man
show." King Henry is center
stage throughout most of the
long play the longest present
ed this year and when he is
absent he is there in spirit.
Young Richard Risso, new to
Ashland Shakespearean follow
ers, gives everything he possesses
to the role. Risso is a loving
king, an understanding king, an
angry king; but he is not a regal
king. His attempted characteriza
tion of kingliness and nobility
comes closer to pompousness.
Risso's finest scene comes at
the very end of the play. Then
he forgets all regal manners in
the wooing of the French Prin
cess Katherine. Not until then
is he completely accepted by
some reserved viewers.
Handles Lines Well
Risso must be highly com
mended for his handling of lines.
His role gives him more lines
than does any other role in the
four plays presented this year.
(More lines than any role in
Shakespeare - according to one
statistician.) But not until the

very end of the last scene did
he muff a line obviously. And
even that one was not harmful
to the action.
In substance, Risso is a good
King Henry. He is not great; yet
he is far, far better than some
diehard critics have insisted.
Second in importance to Risso
in making the play a success
which it very definitely was
were John Taylor and William
Oyler in two very different roles.
Taylor does a beautiful job
as Lewis,- the French Dolphin.
He is the giddy youth that King
Henry has been;- only he lacks
Prince Hal's ever-present com
mon sense. Despite his bulk Tay
lor's Dolphin is little more nor
less than a spoiled child. :
Oyler Excellent
Oyler, excellent in any role.
plays . the leeching Aunchient
Pistol with even more swagger
than he gave the role last year
in "Henry IV, Part 2." The rest
of the dead Sir John Falstaff's
group of rowdies are all fun
provoking. The best is Thomas
Brennan in his onslaughts on the
English language as Corporal
Nym. Marjorie Lovberg's voice
fits Hostess Quickly better than
it has suited her other roles; Wil
liam Ball is at his best as Pis
tol's boy, and William Erwin is
loud as Bardolph, which is about
all the role requires.
As King of France Angus
Bowmer is a perfect foil for the
heroics of Henry. When the -two
are together the French king
reminds one of nothing so
strongly as the comic strips' "Lit
tle King."
Excellent performances are
offered by two women, Virginia
Chesse - and Suzanne LaMarre
Hanson. The play's best scene
features these two alone and is
spoken entirely in French. It is
the tremendously clever scene
where Mrs. Chesse as Princess
Katherine begins learning -the
fundamentals of the English
language from her attendant,
played by Mrs. Hanson.
Fine Directing Job
"Henry V" was aided greatly
by one of the finest directing
jobs yet seen here. Philip Hanson
followed in his own footsteps
having directed last year's Hen
ry play. He succeeds famously
in bringing two mighty mon
archies "within the girdle of
these walls."
Hanson almost did away with
the opening and closing of the
curtains and thus disposed of
the interruption of curtain girls
trooping in and out. Instead of
curtains he used his lighting ef
fectively to show what was to

Missouri Election
Seen as Good Omen
For GOP Victory
Washington U.R) Sen.
Everett M. Dirksen, (R-HU, said
Thursday the outcome of the
Missouri Democratic senatorial
primary was a good omen for a
Republican presidential victory
in November.
But Sen. Theodore F. Green,
(D-R.I.,) shrugged off the defeat
of President Truman's candidate
in the primary by. terming the
election "just a good old intra
party scrap."
Political leaders here were
quick to seek national straws-in-the-wind
in the runaway victory
of Stuart Symington over Mr.
Truman's candidate. State At
torney General J. F. Taylor.
Interpretation Given
Dirksen, chairman of the Sen
ate Republican Campaign com
mittee, gave this interpretation
of the election outcome to a re
porter:
It is a significant fact and 1
am sure it will not be lost o'n the
voters of this country that short
ly after Adlai Stevenson accept
ed not only the platform, but
the program with which Presi
dent Truman was so intimately
identified, that the voters of his
native state saw fit in their wis
dom and good judgment to roy
ally trounce the President's can
didate for the United States Sen
ate.

to highlight the play's impres
sive costuming.
The one critical comment to
be made about the direction is
that Hanson might have placed
the actors more judiciously so
the King would not be constant
ly looking up at the man next
to him.
Supporting Cast
Hanson was aided greatly by
a fine 'supporting cst. But it
would seem despite the size
of the cast that less doubling-
up of characters would have
been wise. Or it could have been
made less obvious. William Er
win walks off the stage as Bar
dolph and returns almost im
mediately sans red nose
as the Duke of York. This is too
much for an audience to swallow.
"Henry V" makes use of two
of the company's magnificient
voices Richard Graham and
H. Paul Kliss in starting at
a high peak. These two fine ac
tors, in minor roles, are the first
voices heard. Unfortunately this
high peak is then lost until mid
way through the play. But the
drop is more the fault of the
play than of the actors. D.D.

Five Phantom Calls
The killer had policescurry
ing all over the city Wednesday
night and early Thursday when
he made five phantom telephone
calls to headquarters and threat
ened to invade two swank hotels
in his quest for blood.
Officers found the battered
body of Tom Acton, 35, Birm
ingham, Ala., in a dingy hotel
room after a man with a voice
described as "raspy with a
whine'' called and said they
would 'find something bloody"
in the room.
Roommate Sought
The homicide squad was try
ing to locate Robert Mooue, 35,
who had registered in the hotel
room with Acton. He was de
scribed as wearing a "light gray"
suit and had borrowed a claw
hammer from a hotel maid. Ac
ton was beaten to death with a
claw hammer.
The two women reported to a
foot patrolman that they were
approached by a man about 35
years old, who wore a "light"
suit. They said he acted crazy
and told them he had' killed a
man with a hammer. The wo
men said they dismissed him as
an idiot and boarded their car.

Washington U.R) President
Truman said Thursday he would
have supported Vice President
Alben W. Barkley for the Demo
cratic presidential nomination if
Barkley had remained a candi
date, but he thinks the Demo
crats picked a winner in Gov,
Adlai E. Stevenson.
Mr. Truman told his news
conference that he had never at
any time pledged his support to
Mutual Security Director Aver

To Support Stevenson
He said he thought Stevenson
is a man who can be elected, and
he expects to support him.
Mr. Truman told his first
news conference in five weeks
that Barkley had gone to Chi
cago expecting to be a candi
date. Had the vice president
stayed in the race for the nom
ination, he would have support
ed him, Mr. Truman said.
Barkley withdrew his name
after some union leaders told
the 74-year-old vice president he
was too old.
Voted for Governor
Mr. Truman's alternate to the
convention, Thomas J. Gavin,
Kansas City, then voted for
Stevenson, annuncing that the
Illinois governor was his and
the president's choice.
Mr. Truman said his confer
ence next Tuesday with Steven
son here will cover everything
that is necessary to help the
Democrats win the election. .
He told newsmen such a con
ference is customary whenever
a president of one party is not
running for reelection. Steven

HST Denies Beating
In Missouri Election
Washington (U.R) President
Truman denied at his news con
ference Thursday that he took a
"beating' 'in the Missouri sena
torial primary.
Mr. Truman's candidate, J. E.
(Buck) Taylor, was defeated for
the Democratic nomination by
W. Stuart Symington.
Mr. Truman said the president
has a right to vote for anybody
he pleases in a primary. He said
the result does not affect his
standing in Missouri one bit.
He testily accused a question
er, Duke Shoop of the Kansas
City Star, of trying to discredit
him. Shoop had asked if he had
taken a "beating" In the pri
mary. Mr. Truman said he was just
as fond of Symington as he al
