Shakespearean
Films Booked;
First August 7
Ashland Believing that
"good theater is always good for
the theater," officials of the Ore
gon Shakespearean Festixal as
sociation have expressed ap
proval of the plan for the Lithia
Drive-in theater to show three
Shakespearean films during
August.
William Dawkins, publicity
director of the Ashland festival
and Jim Selleck, manager of the
drive-in, believe that the film
festival will be the only one of
its kind in the country.
The first of the three films
will be a first-run showing of J.
Arthur Rank's "Romeo and Jul
iet" on Sunday, August 7. Others
scheduled for the months are
"Hamlet" and "Julius Ceasar."
"Romeo and Juliet," which be
gins the series, will run August
7, 8, 9. Filmed in Italy by an
English company," critics have
called it one of the "most beau
tiful pictures ever filmed." Just
recently released, it has not play
ed previously in the valley.
"Hamlet," produced and di
rected by Sir Laurance Olivier,
begins at the Lithia on Tuesday,
August 16, and plays for three
evenings. Like the others in the
series, the film will be shown
only once during the evening, at
8 p.m.
"Julius Caesar" stars Marlon
Brando as Mark Antony, and
is the only American-made film
of the three. It begins Sunday,
August 28, and plays for three
days.
Selleck said that there would
be no raise in prices for the films.
Students may attend for the spe
cial rate of 50 cents.

Smooth Performances
By 'All's Well' Cast
Praised by Reviewer
William Shakespeare s unex
celled ability to maintain spec
tator attention and participation
has made his plays comedies,
tragedies, and histories live
through almost four and one-half
centures. This genius is exempli
fied in Oregon Shakespearean
Festival association's production
of "All's Well That Ends Well."
From opening trumpets,
through Bertram's retreat from
matrimony and Helena's determi
nation and subsequent capture
of the young count, to the final
dialogue by the King of France,
the delightful comedy held the
attention of an almost capacity
audience.
Periodic dialogues directed to
ward the audience, particularly
those by Parolles and Helena,
revived spectator participation
as we'll as being informant re
garding progression of the plot.
Several Factors
A play by Shakespeare must
be considered on several factors
whether or not lines are good,
whether or not those lines are
acted as the author meant them
to be, and settings. Since the
Elizabethan era, there has been
added costumes and lighting,
which greatly enhance any play.
The association's replica of the
Elizabethan theater, combined
with Shakespearean costumes
and highly competent players,
has rightly done justice to the
great playright.
Fine acting jobs by Donald E.
Soule as Bertram, Joan Kugell
as Helena, Richard Graham as
King of France, and Marjorie
Schaffer as the Countess of Rou
sillon should give spectators of
"All's Well That Ends Well"
enjoyable relaxation throughout
the month.
But 23 other players in a fine
supporting cast cannot be slight
ed. William Oyler, as Bertram's
follower Parolles, whose unscru
pulous deceiving helps awaken
the young , count of Rousillon to
the world around him, adds fla
vorable comments on virginity.
Other fine performances which
deserve mention include that of
Abe Kalish as Lavache, clown
to the countess; Hubert Whit
field Jr. as Lafeu; John T. Mac
Phee as Rinaldo, steward to the
countess; Richard Bacon as Duke
of Florence; Eileen Frank as a
widow of Florence, and Irene G.

Baird as Diana.
It was Diana, daughter of the
Florence widow, who so happily
cooperated in Helena's intriguing
trickery to acquire Bertram as
a lawful husband.
Smooth Production
The production as a whole ran
smoothly, and an understanding
audience could easily overlook
a moment of muffled noises from
backstage when the main curtain
failed to close tightly in one
dialogue when settings were be
ing changed.
With additions of costumes
and electric lighting to his pro
duction, Shakespeare would in
deed be more than satisfied with
the association's version of the
play. The closing scene, in which
everyone seems to be confused
(except the audience), is amus
ingly heartwarming when things
are straightened out, and Bert
ram's Hellena, whom he thought
dead, appears, to be accepted
by the young count.
Robert B. Loper has done an
excellent job of direction, but
credit also must be extended to
those "behind the scenes" for
their part in making the play
a success.
Revived enthusiasm for the
Elizabethan playright, and en
couragement for continued pro
ductions as Shakespeare himself
would have the plays produced,
have resulted as this reviewer
attended his first festival play
by the association.
The association deserves much
praise for its annual production
of Shakespeare's genius, and
hard work and many rehearsals
are rewarded by an ovations
such as that shown for "All's
Well That Ends Well." E.H.A.
A cry of anguish from the
publicity department of the fes
tival greeted that part of the
Mail Tribune's review of "Mac
Beth" which said it ran for 23A
hours. Actual running time, the
department says, is 1 hours.
On opening night the festivities
started at 8:35 p.m., and the
last curtain call was at 10:45
p.m., an elapsed time of 2 hours,
10 minutes.
Subsequent productions of the
magnificent play should take less
than two hours. E.A.
