(UPI Telephoto) Corps of Competent Actors Present Bard's 'Richard IT It is a tradition that each season the Oregon Shake spearean festival at Ashland presents one of the history piays, ana in an election year, "The Life and Death of King Richard II" seems particular ly fitting. In the United States at this time one leader is passing from the scene and others are coming to the fore; in "Richard II," Shakespeare tells the story of the deposing of a king and the rise to power of another. At the period of English history covered in the play, the change was accomplished by an uprising and consider able bloodshed-in the United States today changes of lead ership come in an orderly and democratic fashion and the political intrigue leads to the ballot box and not to the sword. However, Shakespeare would have us believe that the changes took as much ora tary in those days as it does now. v - , Herculean Task Producing one of the Bard's historical plays must be an herculean task. The casts are large and unwieldly, the dia logue sometimes fails to carry the watcher along with the trend of events and some play goers suffer from a sense of confusion and frustration. On the other hand, the plays car ry the force of history, and the drama of empires; richly staged, as they are in Ash land, they have great impact. Director Richard D. Risso, and Douglas Russell, costum er, have used stunning color and grand tableaux effects to augment the power of Shake speare's lines in "Richard II." There are no stars in this play, but rather a corps of competent actors. William Kinsolving plays Richard, the monarch who was charged with being "Landlord of Eng land are thou now; not king": and who was brought to his downfall because he truly be lieved in the divine right of kings to do as they pleased. Kinsolving plays the role with dignity and considerable stage graces. In the final scenes he evokes the sympathy of the audience as the character is meant to do. This actor deliv ers his lines with such delib- eratencss that he gives the impression of composing them himself and not merely re peating something written by another. At times this is ef fective, at other times it is not. Christopher Newton makes Lord Bolingbroke, who leads the revolt against Richard and sets himself up as king, an arrogant and ambitious man. The audience sees a man who finds it easy to convince him self that the present king should be deposed, providing however that he is to be the successor. Dramatic Impact The ability of these two players to build a scene with great dramatic impact comes out when the deposed Richard is ordered to place his crown on the head of a man who is replacing him on the throne.

Larson succeeds In giving a clear pic ture of a man physically frail but staunch of spirit and with much strength of character. Gives Opportunity There is one thing to be said about the Shakespearean historical plays the large casts give many actors an op portunity for a place in the sun. There are leading roles, minor roles, character roles and single scenes which give many players, particularly young men, a chance to show their ability. In last night's performance praise is due Mark Hammer for his strong delineation of the Earl of Northumberland and to Charles Whitman for his playing of the Duke of Aumerle. Whitman's poise in the role is an improvement over his work of last season. The production of these historical plays requires a strong and consistent support from the many lesser charac ters in order to bring the story into focus and to pro vide a setting for the kings and nobles. It is supplied this year by such players as Gra ham Woodruff, Tom Vail and Don Essary playing the favor ites of Richard, and Milton Fuchs, as the Bishop of Car-lisle. Women of the play are of lesser importance, but cast is more than adequate. Shirley Cox makes an appealing queen to King Richard, and Ann Hackney gives a forceful performance as the Duchess of York who pleads with King Richard for the life of her son. Shirley Patton has a brief scene as the Duchess of Gloucester. A score or more of addition al players, both men and women, serve to accent the plot and fill in the setting. As produced by Director Risso, the play opens on a note so low as almost to be monotonous, and it seems a long time before it gathers steam. However, there is pur pose in this. With a play so long, and with so many po tentially violent and emotion filled scenes, if it was pro duced in any other fashion, both the actors and the audi ence would be exhausted ere the play ended. When an audience in the Ashland festival theater inter rupts the action to applaud, it is the highest praise for the director, the players and the production staff. This oc curred some six or eight limes. O.S.

SERLING United Press International Washington IliPD - The big gest airline merger in com mercial aviation history was before the Civil Aeronautics board (CAB) today whore it faced stiff opposition from other carriers. It would bring together United Airlines, the nation's fourth largest carrier, and Capital Airlines, the fifth big gest. The combined firm would be called United Air Lines. The proposed merger was announced Thursday by Unit ed President W. A. Patterson and Capital Board Chairman Thomas D. Neelands Jr. it followed five weeks of secret negotiations. Although the merger would save Capital from almost cer tain bankruptcy, the consoli dation !a:ed strong opposition from such airlines as Ameri can, Trans World and East ern. Thraaten Position By a c q u i r ing Capital's routes and some of its planes, United would move, into enough new cities and areas to threaten American's posi tion as the country's biggest airline. The deal - which must win CAB approval - would be more of an acquisition than a merger. Ii, effect it ;Would end Capital's 33-yean exist ence. . . Of Capital's 96-plane fleet, United planned to retain onlv 41 Viscounts with 15 of the prop-jets being returned to Vickers - Armstrong of Eng land as partial payment for $34 million mortgage the British aircraft manufacturer holds on Capital's equpimcnt. vickers, which pron.ised to support the merger proposal. also would receive about $29 million In cash or stock. The CAB was' informed of the merger proposal before Patterson and, Neelands 'an nounced It to the press, this was done "as a common cour. tesy," Patterson told report ers. Other Disclosures The joint news conference also revealed: -No decision has been made on how many of Capital's 7,840 employees will be re tained. -Capital and United stock holders will vote on the merg er before the end of October, with the CAB expected to act by February, 1961. -Capital shareholders would receive one share of United common stock and a five-year warrant to buy one and one-half shares of United at $40 per share for each seven shares of Capital com mon stock. -United would support Cap ital's pending petition to the CAB to drop service to a num ber of cities where traffic vol 'ume has been low. The size of the airlines in volved would make it the biggest merger ever consum mated. Previous airline "mar riages" have involved Eastern and Colonial, Delta and Chicago-Southern, and Braniff and Mid-Continent. The CAB currently is weighing a pro posed merger between TWA and Northeast.
