'Titus' Said
Brutal Play;
Opens Friday
Ashland Patrons of the Ore
gon Shakespeare festival will
have one of the rarest treats of
this or any other season Friday
evening, August 24, when the
festival produces one of its two
special performances of the seldom-done
"Titus Andronicus."
The last playing of "Titus"
before a large audience was at
Stratford-upon-Avon in England
last year, and the event was
newsworthy because of the num
ber of people who fainted at
the performance of a play which
was a great favorite of Eliza
bethans, but which is so packed
with blood and horror as to
shock modern audiences.
The play is so brutal, in fact,
that in the 19th century Shake
spearean scholars often attempt
ed to prove that "gentle Shake
speare" didn't write it. Tougher
minded critics and audiences
of the 20th century have
reversed this trend, but the play
is still one which is not recom
mended for the faint hearted.
In addition to seeing a very
rare production, however, festi
val audiencer will also see two
of the season's favorite players
William Oyler and Don Gun
derson in leading roles. Gun-
derson plays the title role, and
Oyler plays Aaron the Moor,
considered one of the blackest,
most evil villains in literature
"Titus" is directed for the
' festival by Hal J. Todd, and will
be seen in a second performance
on August 29.

BY JOHN BARRYMORE JR.
Written for she United Press
Hollywood (U.R) The two
most important sounds to an ac
tor's ears are laughter and tears.
The latter sometimes come too
easily. The former, not easily
enough.
I've been fortunate, although
I'm only on my sixth picture, to
have been around people in
show business who've been bless-
with a great sense of humor.
An Argument
One of my favorites was the
late Constance Collier, who at
the age of 78 could tell a story
as beautifully as George Burns
at 25. One of her best stories
was about the time she rehearsed
a play for six weeks with a cer
tain actor. At each rehearsal he
made his entrance from the cent
er of the stage. However, on
opening night a young scenic
designer informed the actor his
entrance should be from down
stage left.
A violent argument ensued be
tween the two. Miss Collier
went on stage to open the play
with a monologue. Just as It
came time for the actor to ap
pear, her speech was interrupted
by the harsh sound of a knife
cutting through the backdrop
in the center of the stage. A
swift kick sent the slashed part
of the backdrop flying. Through
the opening stepped the adamant
actor.
"As I said," he announced tri
umphantly. "I shall make my
entrance from the center of the
stage."
Then, there was my father.
Once he was dramatically deliv
ering the lines from Richard III,
"a Horse, a horse, my kingdom
for a horse." Sudden a balcony
heckler broke into raucous
laughter. Without stepping out
of charcater. Dad looked up,
pointed his sword at the balcony
and snapped, "Saddle yon bray
ing ass."
During his performance in
Chicago of "My Dear Children,"
Dad was constantly interrupted
by the irritating cough of a pa
tron in the front row. Finally
Dad walked to the footlights,
pointed at the offender and an
nounced, "throw that seal a
fish."
Humor has played an impor
tant part in my life. Four years
ago my sister introduced me to
a girl with a French accent. I
thought she was the epitome of
Paris charm until we attended
a Halloween party. At midnight
when everybody took off their
masks my French girl took off
her accent. Between laughs she
confessed being as American as
the Fourth of July.
But, as you can plainly see,
the last laugh was on her, for
this charming creature is now
Cara Williams, my wife.

Good News For
Septic Tank
Owners
Septic tank are Ufeeavers for
those who live away from city
ewer systems. But septic tanks
can, and do, stop-up and over
flow! First, because the tank is not
cleaned at proper intervals; sec
ondly, toilet tissue that does not
readily disintegrate may clog the
drains and force them to back upl
This may be avoided by using
MD Toilet Tissue because MI)
is scientifically processed to ab
sorb water quickly. Drains don't
clog or back up so readily!
Good practice; Consult your
County Health Department, your
plumber, or a septic tank service
company, for advice on cleaning
your tank. Use MD Toilet Tissue!
