Festival Cast
And Company
Hard at Work
Ashland The Shakespeare
festival theater in Ashland's
Lithia Park is the scene of al
most as much activity now as it
will be when the season opens on
August 1.
Staff and company members
have settled down to a daily
routine of work repairing the
theater and preparing for the
season's shows.
Monday and Thursday morn
ings are devoted to rehearsals of
"Timon of Athens" under the
direction of Robert Loper, Stan
ford university. "Timon" will
have special performances on
August 23 and 29. In addition to
the rehearsals, mornings seven
day a week are given to the
other work of the theater.
Frank Pinnock, now in his
third year as fencing master, is
teaching company members the
techniques of Elizabethan sword
play. Pinnock has designed the
swordfights for 'Macbeth" and
"Henry VI, part 3," and will also
play several roles including
Quince in "A Midsummer
Night's Dream" and Lewis XI in
"Henry VL"
Mornings are also spent in
renovating the grounds of the
theater. Company members and
local citizens have replanted the
flower beds, mowed and watered
the lawns. The festival technical
staff has been laying lines for a
new telephone and intercom
munication systems, and digging
through the stage foundation to
lay the lighting lines.
Costuming for the coming sea
son presents its usual problems
and a few new ones to the staff.
Besides furnishing appropriate
costumes for the five plays, the
staff has to cope with an ass's
head for Bottom in Dream." This
year's staff is headed by Doug
las Russell, instructor at Florida
State university, who has just
returned from a year's study of
Elizabethan costumes at Strat
ford on Avon. His assistants are
Miss Agnes David, University of
Texas, in her third year with
the festival; and Miss Inge Sch
midt, Stanford university. Ac
cording to Russell, several Ash
land women have been sewing
for him in the afternoons.
One improvement made on
the grounds this week was the
laying of asphalt on the parking
lot outside the theater. Accord
ing to Bill Patton, festival gene
ral manager, the new surface
will help to keep the stage and
costumes clean during the sea
son. : Rehearsals are now in their
second week, and are moving
rapidly, according to the direc
tors. "All's Well That Ends
Well" is. rehearsing on Tuesday,
Thursday, and Saturday at 1

ACROSS TABLE ROCK ROAD
FRQM BIG Y MARKET
By ROBERT MUSEL
United Press Correspondent
London U.R) ' Singers
think more of their figures these
days than they do of their voices
so Margaret Harshaw is wor
ried about the artistic future of
the Wagenerian operas. .
Miss Harshaw, a large. ' and
handsome Englewood, New Jer
sey housewife, has just con
vinced Britain opera critics that
she is in the great tradition of
Wagnerian heroines. This took
courage as well as talent and
artistry for last year the same
critics were a bit cool.
"I had to force myself to come
back for. another try," she said,
"and now I anvglad I did. They
were so wonderful to me I feel
it was worth all the hard work
I put into the roles."
Miss Harshaw spoke across a
large platter of sauerbraten
and potato dumplings. The Wag
nerian heroines are steak-and-
potato eaters because Wagner
conceived his goddesses as larger
than lifesize with the stamina
for such five and a half hour
operatic marathons as "Gotter
dammerumg" (Twilight of the
Gods).
Good Reviews
A friend had clipped reviews
of her Covent Garden appear
ance from newspapers and mag
azines and these, neatly marked
in red crayon, were stacked near
her plate.
"I was afraid to look at them,"
she said, "until I was convinced
they were nearly all favorable."
Some critics seemed to feel
Miss Harshaw was at long last
the successor to Kirsten Flag
stad. Others lauded the emotion
al impact of Brunhilde soaring
on the wings of song through the
titanic trilogy of "The Ring"
ODeras. '
"You nted meals like this to
sing these roles," she said. "Be
sides "Gotterdammerung there
is "Die Walkure" which lasts
four and a half hours and "Sieg
fried" which takes five hours.
Even 'the prologue of the ring
"Das Rheingold, lasts two and
a half hours all in one piece,
no intermission."
Wishful Thinking .
One of the most charming
and likeable of all operatic
stars, Miss Harshaw confides
that often she wishes she were
small and dainty and a singer of
popular songs. Her two children
share this dream. But stern
reality cast her in a massive
mould. .
"It would have been silly for
me to try to starve myself to a
sylph," she said, ordering apple
pie a la mode. "But lots of sing
ers do just that these days.
"I often wonder how many of
them would have powerful, reso
nant voices if they built them
selves up instead of tearing
themselves down. Wagnerian
heroines are so rare at any time
it would be a shame if some
where a singer is dieting herself
to matchstick size who might,
with a few curves here and
there,' become an operatic star."
And with that Miss Harshaw
ordered another double scoop
of ice cream.
