Of the 20 or more plays we have seen, "Macbeth," as presented last night, must rank well to ward the top and perhaps as the very best. There were a few drawbacks: a rough spot here, an awkward moment there. But it was a first night performance, and as such it was masterful. The long play massive in concept and one cf Shakespeare's most difficult, hung together; it made sense; it conveyed the inner workings of the human characters whom Shakespeare, in his genius, en dowed with life and passion. Features Combine Manv things combined to make the evening a pleasurable one for any individual who can project himself into a play which is, after all, only an image of life. Among these factors were the costumes; rich, varied, imagina tive and appropriate. The technical staff of the fes tival, including the costumiers, has grown greatly in stature and ability in recent years, and the highly involved business of light ing and staging, complicated by the levels and separations of the Elizabethan stage, last night proved high competence in a dif cult and exacting art. Title Role Vital The play, of course, stands or falls by the performance of the title role, the tortured assassin, the potentially good man drag ged to infamy by his own ambi tion, the devoted husband and tyrant king. Robert B. Loper made the role come alive with APPLEGATE COMMUNITY FAIR Friday, Aug. 5-10 a.m. APPLEGATE SCHOOL Dinner Will Be Served Everyone Welcome HUBBARD-WRAY CO., Inc. a minimum or. grimacing ni handwaving, and an apparent maximum of understanding. From the first, as the decent but overly-ambitious soldier of the king, to the last half-mad. desperate, superstitious, trapped physically by his enemies ana mentallv bv his fears Loper was, indeed, Macbeth. Marjorie Shaffer, as Lady Macbeth, was enough to make one's blood run cold, as it should And yet, despite the overween ing savagery cf her early bits, she actually, somehow, drew sympathy in the sleepwalking scene, when she mourned the in delible blood on her hands and her soul, and sought the surcease of sleep. Principals Net Alone It-was quite a play. And these two strong principals were not alone in being able to evoRe the emotions which a playgoer must feel if the play is to achieve its goal. The most notable of the supporting actors are William Oyler, as Banquo, and Thomas Luce, as Macduff, who bring to their roles passion tempered with skill, and ability sparked with understanding. It is a large cast, and to call the roll would simply be to list names of excellence. None was less than competent; most were more than merely "good. Mot. Understandable It might be added that the play was far more understand able, linguistically, than usually is the case. Whether this is due to greater clarity and care in the writing, compared to other plays, or whether it was due to better diction on the part of the actors, we are unable to say. But it is a fact, and it adds materially to the enjoyment of the production, and to. its over all understandability. In an electronic age, when the movies and television make stage miracles a matter of push ing buttons, the witches' scenes could easily have turned into laughable buffoonery. How they escaped, and instead' wrought a genuine chill, is one of these mysteries of atmosphere and di rection and general know-how. One of the few spots where this competence failed was when the grisly, papier-mache head of Macbeth was displayed on a pike, which brought sniggers from the audience, and almost, but not quite, spoiled the effect of the closing scene. 0 Be warned: the play is long almost 2 hours, which even Body of Elderly Man Found in River Portland (U.R) The body of an elderly man who police said carried $2400 in bills stuffed into two wallets was found in the Willamette river here yes terday afternoon. Deputy Coroner Ted Lucas said an identification card gave the name Patrick Keehan, 81, who had been reported missing from his apartment hotel since June 29. A friend of Keehan said he believed the money found on the body was only a small part of the elderly man's fortune. The body was found by a group of young boys who were playing under the Steel bridge. Police found the money in $1, $10. S20 and $50 bills. Police homicide officers said they would await results of an autopsy before pressing an investigation. Dixon Faces Further Quiz by Subcommittee Washintgon (U.W Edgar H. Dixon, utility executive under fire for allegedly conflicting statements, faced further con gressional questioning today on the Dixon-Yates power contract. The head of the Dixon-Yates utility combine was scheduled to testify before a special Senate Monopoly Subcommittee on costs in connection with cancel lation of the contract. The subcommittee yesterday decided to send records of its hearings to the Justice Depart ment" because of "glaring con flicts" in Dixon's testimony. Meanwhile, Sen. Estes Ke fauver said Budget Director Rowland also will be recalled for questioning on the controversial power contract. j GOOD NEIGHBORS Streeter, N.D. Farmer Ray mond L.

' Trouble Hinted In Actress' Marriage Hollywood (U.R) Actress Marie (The Body) McDonald told reporters today to talk to her attorney about reports her sec ond marriage to shoe manufac turer Harry Karl was on the rocks.

The actress and Karl were di vorced in November, 1954, after a seven-year marriage. They re married last June in Yuma, Atiz. Shortly after their divorce, Miss McDonald said: "We are two people very much in love but doctor after Wednesday, August 3, 195 MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUTE SEVEW Seventh Day Advent ist Congress Draws 10,000 Gladstone, Ore.
