Macbeth Acclaimed by
Reviewer as Among
Best Festival Plays
The 1955 season of the Shake
spearean festival in Ashland is
the seventh for this reviewer. 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

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

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

small part of the elderly man's
fortune.

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
