Ashland "Measure for Mea
sure" is a play based on hu
man frailties, on human weak
nesses, on human vanities and
temptations.
So, of course, are many
plays. But this one has neither
the ennobling catharsis of true
tragedy, nor the light-heart-edness
of comedy. It lacks,
too, the straight-forward ex
position of historical drama.
Thus it is difficult to class
ify, and, indeed, it is one of
the odder works of its writer,
a fellow named William
Shakespeare. A reference
work says that Coleridge
characterized it as "the most
painful" of Shakespeare's
plays, and adds that "it cer
tainly has always been the
least popular."
Competent Company
Why this should be, how
ever, was not apparent to this
reviewer after watching last
night's production of MM at
the Shakespearean Festival.
The company, one of the most
competent and mature and ac
complished it has been our
pleasure to watch in 10 years
of attending the Festival, took
this odd play and made of it
a thing both understandable
and, in places, moving.
The director, Richard San
doe, handled the interplay of
the characters skillfully,
bringing out the complexities
of the production with clarity
and sense.
The characters are not, in
the main, admirable people.
Even the noble duke, played
with force and dignity and
humor by David O'Brien,
shows weakness in his slough
ing off the responsibilities of
his office on Angelo, in favor
of playing hide and seek with
his subjects and his deputies.
-And Angelo, given the au
thority of life and death, be
trays himself in lust for power
and for beauteous Isabella.
Philip Hanson brings this
ugly man to life in a way in
which only a sensitive and
veteran actor could bring off
successfully. His scene with
Isabella, there to plead for
her brother's life, is one of
the high spots in the play, as
Angelo fights against himself
and his desires, and loses.
Hanson makes this struggle,
which could be ludicrous, both
believable and, in a repellant
sort of way, touching. His
tricks with his hands, rubbing
them together, pressing them
against his thighs, bring real
ity to a scene which would
be laughable with a less able
protagonist.
Blameless Character
Isabella, the novice nun
who rushes from the nunnery
to plead for the life of her
erring brother, . is the only
wholly blameless character
among the major roles, in the
capable person of Margaret
Vafiadis, she becomes a real
woman, unspoiled, innocent,
shocked beyond measure at
the revealed sins of her broth
er and at the turpitude of the
man she asks to spare his life.
Mrs. Vafiadis has that inde
finable quality sometimes
called "presence." She has a
glow, a grace, a sureness of
foot and gesture which be
speak both high intelligence
and long apprenticeship. She
is, in a word, superb. And to
say that once in a while she
is a loss while the center of
action proceeds elsewhere on
the stage is to mitigate noth
ing of her power when the
action centers upon her.
These three are the major
roles in the play. The second
ary parts are nowhere less
than skillfully done. Deserv
ing of special mention among
them are the role of Escalus,
handled with sureness and
dignity by Dion Chesse;
Claudio, the erring and re
pentant brother, done with
competence by George Vafia
dis: Pompey, the impish, baw-
I Hv tpnstfr nlflvprl with his ar.
- , j
customed agility and . humor
by boyish Robert Towers; and
the Provost, solid and de
pendable, done with authority
by Edward Grover.
In what are essentially
"bit" parts, Anthony Ristoff,
as the foppish Froth; Mary Jo
Randall, as Mistress Over
done; Jerry Turner, as the
laughably stupid Elbow; Ed
Brubaker, as the condemned
and besotted Bernadine, and
Joel Riggs, as the executioner,
Abhorson, all show themselves
as seasoned performers,
troupers, and all-around good
The part of Lucio, with
Paul Nagle Jackson in charge,
is also, really, a minor' part.
But Jackson isn't content with
this, and comes as close to
stealing the show as any play
er not in a lead role can do.
The man is touched with
comic genius. He uses his body
as readily as his agile voice.
He flits and struts and
gurgles. His timing is near
perfection. His characteriza
tion of the vain, lying, cheat
ing, mean little man is the
funniest thing in the play
and this is said in full realiza
tion that there are many vast
ly funny things in this odd,
yet greatly rewarding, produc
tion. How much credit belongs
to an actor, and how much
to the director, is a secret
known only to the two, al
though close attendance at re
hearsals can give a substantial
hint. But it must be said that
Sandoe knew what he, was
about, knew what he .wanted,
and got it. The scenes . flow
and sparkle; the action is con
tinuous; the movements blend.
The costumes are, perhaps,
less satisfying than in some
of the plays which have been
staged in Ashland, on the
whole. Buf several of them,
notably those of Escalus, An
gelo, Isabella, and the minor
role of Froth, materially assist
the characterization and mood.
Lighting at the festival this
year is superlative. Technical
ly, the costly new equipment
permits effects and speed of
transition never before
achieved, and it is m obvious
that the crews know what and
how and when to perform
their mysteries.
"Measure for Measure,"
then, we found to be not
tragedy nor yet comedy, but
a play about fragile men and
women and their faults -serious
in tone, yet ending
"happily," and done with un
derstanding skill by an un
exceptionable cast in a theater
designed to bring out all that
Shakespeare had in mind, and
perhaps " more,' when he
penned the lines.
If this effusion be based
ion prejudice, (and prejudice
must be admitted) make the
most of it. But don't deprive
yourself of the sheer pleasure
of watching this play come to
life. It's got 99 44100 per
cent of all television offerings
beat hollow.-E.A.

Alternating Use oi
District Water Told
Grants Pass - Neal Shaffer,
manager of the Grants Pass
Irrigation district, today said
it appears likely that water
in the two pump-fed canals of
the district will have to be
alternated beginning about
the last week in August.
This means, he explained,
that about one-third of the
water-using acres in the dis
trict will be dry periodically
from late August until the end
of the season.
This has not been necessary
in recent years, he said, but
the dearth of water this year
probably will make is necessary.
