Russia Charges
American Plane
With Violation
Moscow (LTD The Govern
ment charged today in a note
of protest to the United States
and Iran that an American
military plane deliberately
violated Russian air space last
Saturday but was forced back
by Soviet fighters.
The protest identified the
plane as an RB47, which is a
reconnaisance version of the
B47 jet bomber. .
They said the RB47 flew
from the direction of Iran and
crossed the Soviet frontier
over the Caspian Sea about
200 miles east-southeast of the
town of Astara.
About 20 miles inside the
Soviet Union it was met by
Russian fighter planes and
was forced to turn back in the
direction of Iran, the note
said.
Punishment Demanded
The Soviet Foreign Minis
try handed the protests to
U.S. Ambassador Llewellyn
Thompson and Iranian Am
bassador Mostafa Sami.
The note to the U.S. de
manded that the persons in
volved in the flight be pun
ished and asked that effective
measures be taken to prevent
such flights in the future.
The Soviet government took
a particularly serious view of
1 the incident, it said, because
the violation of its air space
took place at a moment when
the armed intervention of the
U. S. and Britain in the Middle
East had created a tense situ

Tragedy of 'Lear' Found Affecting, Splendid Stagecraft
In Sir Laurence Oliviers
film production of Henry V,
one of the cinematic tricks he
used was a sudden switch
from a strictly realistic and
somewhat shoddy picture of
the Globe theater of Shake
speare's time into an idealized
never-never land of Shake
spearean drama.
The camera lifted into the
air from the confines of the
stage, and, as if on wings,
descended to France where
the action, freed from walls
and curtains, resumed. It was
an effective bit of filmcraft.
But something, similar to
that effect occurred last night
in the Elizabethan theater in
Ashland, as the Shakespear
ean Festival gave its produc
tion of "King Lear."
One moment, one is looking
at a group of colorfully cos
tumed, artfully made-up
young actresses and actors,
Conferees Work
On Klamath Bill
Washington (UPD House
Senate conferees went to work
today on a compromise ver
sion of the Klamath Indian
timber bill approved by the
House Tuesday on a voice
vote.
The bill would assure sus

ervation even though the tim
ber is purchased by private
interests. That portion not sold
to lumber companies would go
to the Federal government
which could pay a maximum
of $90 million to the Indians.

striding and declaiming on
the stage.
The next, one is caught up
in the story. The antique puz
zlement of Shakespeare's
phrases is gone and the roll
ing speech becomes living
language. The youthful cast
vanishes, and in their place
are men, and women, recreat
ing an old but vivid tale of
tragic character, of death and
treachery and suffering and
love.
Lear, as presented in Ash
land, makes little attempt at
realism. Rather it strives for
a distilled essence of the emo-

STORES
tion which arises from a fatal
fault in character, and the re
sulting march to doom. And
in this it is a smashing success.
Portions are genuinely af
fecting evoking a thrill of
sympathy here, a touch of
horror there, a nod of under
standing elsewhere.
Sweeping Drama
And always it is drama
sweeping drama that carries
one along through the three
hour production with little
let or pause, and leaves one
wrung dry at the end.
The production is not with
out its minor faults, but it
would be carping to dwell on
them.
Richard Graham's King
Lear was a little shouty. But
perhaps that was intended, in
part to contrast with the few
tender, gentle scenes as death
approached. And Grahams
stature, his command of the
tongue, his sureness in the
role from the regal frenzies
to the almost cuildlike mum
blings at the close made the
character, if not quite believ
able, at least one that is not
soon forgotten, and never
ignored.
Acting honors, we feel,
must go to Harold V Gould,
who showed, as Edmund,
bastard son of the . Earl of
Gloucester, an understanding
of both the comic and the sin
ister facets of the man, and an
uncanny ability of voice and
timing to project them to his
audience.
Curious Role
Robert Towers, as the fool,
who may be simply a project
tion of Lear's attempts to win
back to sanity, ,made his
points sharply. It is a curious
role, and the slight figure of
Towers frightened, canny,
loyal carried it well.
i The other masculine lead
roles of Albany, Kent, Glou
cester, Edgar were never
less than convincing. Edward
Grover's Kent, particularly,
was stalwart, humorous and
sympathetic. Claude Jenkins,
as Cornwall, has the com
manding stature and voice to
make his relatively small part
stand out. And Paul Harper,
as Edgar and later "poor
Tom," showed a versatility
unsuspected at his first ap
pearance. The three women Eliza
beth Hiller as Goneril, Rosa
lyn Newport as Cordelia, and
Rachel Weller as Regan per
formed effectively. Miss New
port's delicate beauty and
wistful demeanor accorded
well with Cordelia'sunhappy
part. Miss Hiller and Miss
Weller were fine, female fig
ures of villainy in the1 later
scenes, and of dawning per
fidy earlier in the play.
Play Hat force
"The Tragedy of King
Lear" is not a pretty play,
but it has force. It is full of
murder, insanity, double
dealing and treachery, the
sins of avarice and covetous
ness, of blood and blasphemy
and violence. The frequent
crudity of the language is
shocking to gentle ears.
But, as stagecraft, it has
moments of splendor, and as
a chronicle of good intent
gone wrong, and bad intent
creeping in, it claws at one
as lesser, happier themes can
never do.
The overall effect cannot
be credited wholly to the act
ors, for the subtle touches of
MAIL TRIBUNE, Medford, Oregon, Wednesday, Jury 30, 1958 1
Robert Loper's direction, the
finnese of lighting, the sym
bolism of costumes, and at
tendant, moody music all
these add, to the effect and
spur the audience to a sort of
reluctant empathy. .
It's a ' cracker-jack of a
show. If, in its best and most
potent parts, it cannot reach
a viewer, that viewer is to be
pitied. E. A.
