.Mrs. l'rultt, named "Journalist" for
the group. Is reporting on their
journey, iter second letter Is print
ed today.
Our six days on the French
liner Liberte from New York
City to Plymouth, England,
proved delightful-the cuisine
delectable. The Bowmers and
Pruitts indulged far beyond
intention. However, a piece of
bad news reached us just be
fore sailing from New York
necessitating replanning. Be
cause of a delay due to a
dock - workers strike in Los
Angeles, the Aliens and Mil
lers, whom we were to meet
at The Hague, would be a
week late arriving In Europe.
We hoped this would not af
fect our schedules and reser
vations seriously.
Landing at Plymouth the
morning of July 6. we step
ped ashore on "this blessed
plot, this England." During
our train-ride to London on
one of the small British trains
we had our first glimpse of
the beautiful green hedge
rows. Used in place of fences
to separate small fields, they
are by many considered im
practical because of the
amount of tillable land they
preempt. Hedgerows also pre
vent efficient farming on
large scale, as in U.S. Because
every inch of land in England
was needed In World War II,
hedgerows were in many
cases abolished. But British
tradition is strong and hedge
rows are now plentiful again.
Aside from a sentimental at
tachment for them, the British
insist that the hedgero-vs
serve as a shelter for wild
life -for foxes, rabbits, and
birds. Certainly with their
absence, the British landscape
would lose much.
Watch Guards
Next morning as we walked
along Whitehall on the way to
the American Express office,
a big iron gate swung open
before us and there appeared
two lines of elegantly uni
formed Guards in scarlet
jackets and bear-fur busbies.
Marching precisely by-so near
we could see the "whites of
their eyes" - they kept on go
ing down a side street. Since
their mission was unknown to
us, we could only assume that
the king's men marched up
the street and they marched
back again." The pageantry
of the English is sometimes
tedious to watch, as we found
later in watching the Chang
ing of the Guard, but they
themselves seem to adore it.
It rained hard on our first
morning in London and pools
of water reflected the green
leaves of sidewalk sycamores,
which line London streets al
most everywhere. Red geran
iums loomed In window boxes
on the gray legdes of business
buildings eeven to the highest
story. Except for the white
washing by starlings and pig
eons, most of London's build
ings are dark and grimy with
smoke. However, the days of
coal-burning are fast becom
ing extinct, for several rea
sons. Young Britishers shun
mining as too monotonous,
drab and dangerous, and the
older generation of miners re
fuses to adopt new working
methods. Gas-fuel is rapidly
replacing the coal fireplace
and stove. Laws recently pass
ed restrict the use of coal to
factories and these must have
devices which insure almost
100 per cent combustion.
Along Fleet Street we saw
considerable evidence of
World War II bombing,
though most of the demolished
areas have been rebuilt or
concealed by large billboards.
In many of the shattered walls
left standing, flowers have
sprung up.
After glancing Jnio me Lon
don office of the Manchester
Guardian, we located Ye Olde
Cheshire Cheese, quaint res
taurant in an ancient alley
just off Fleet Street near Dr.
Johnson's House. In its dark
beamed bar, Guinness and ale
were being' served to Jaunty
Britishers. Up a twisting
stairs, in a charming bar-room
with old fireplace and blue
plates, we Inspected the First
Edition English Dictionary by
Dr. Samuel Johnson, 1755.
We had lunch in the main
dining room, called the Chop
Room. With its original old
sideboard hung with pewter
mugs, rough hewn beams and
scarred floor, the room looked
authentic 18th century. As
we were seated on straight
hard benches, Almus indicat
ed that I glance at a brass In
scription on the wall above
my seat which read: me
favorite scat of Dr. Samuel
Johnson. . . Born 15th Sept.
1709 - died 13 Dec. 1764."
Later, as we left, our waiter
told us that 11 was the most
treasured teat In the house.

Among the guests at the Feasting of the Tribe of Will
Monday in Lithia park, Ashland, were Mr. and Mrs. James

were on hand for the colorful Feast and the opening night

ing at the least-rushed time
of day. Above the seat next
to it, on a smaller brass plate
was another inscription: "This
was the seat most frequently
occupied by Charles Dickens.
These were the only two in
scribed seats in the inn. We
ordered traditional roast beef
with Yorkshire pudding, and
steak and kidney pie, all prov
ing excellent.
Visit Cathedral
Farther along Fleet Street
we entered St. Paul's cathe
dral which borr a few gashes
from war bombing, but which
otherwise appeared unscath
ed. Angus recalled the indi
dent, of a "dud" block-Mister
which landed nearby and
which, had it exploded, would
have destroyed St. Paul's com
pletely. Heroic experts, work
ing frantically against time,
disarmed the bomb at the risk
of their lives. Both exterior
and interior of the cathedral
are Indescribably beautiful.
We returned to Parliament
Square by way of the Vic
toria Embankment. The
Thames teemed with pleasure
craft, some leaving Charing
Cross for such holiday points
as Windsor Castle and Brigh
ton. At St. Margaret's, near
Westminster Abbey, we at
tended a splendid duo-organ
and choral concert of Handel
and Purccll music, which
made us wish for our mu
sical friends the Werners and
Windts. Sunlight streamed
through stained-glass Gothic
windows onto the musicians'
faces. Almus declared that the
intonation and acoustic's were
as nearly perfect as he had
ever heard. Afterward, we sat
on benches in the Square, lis
tened to Big Ben, and watghed
the "bobbies" direct traffic,
and the big red two-deck
trams, Demlcrs, and tiny cars,
whizzing past. A hansom cab
drawn by a shiny, high-stepping
bay, wheeled by. The
Square swarmed with pigeons,
starlings, and people. The
Britisher paces purposefully
along in bowler and dark
suit, his furled umbrella,
when it isn't raining, used as
a kind of walking stick.
Attend Plays
The real reason - for our
first visit to England was to
attend two Shakespeare plays
at the Old Vic, in connection
with Angus' research pro
gram. These plays would not
be showing upon our return
to England in August. While
the exterior of the Old Vic Is
unimpressive and might be
simply any old theater, the in
terior has a warm, intimate
atmosphere with deep - red
seat and floor coverings and
deep-red stage draperies. A
cream decor with scalloped
edging encloses the orchestra.
Prior to performance, orders
for coffee are taken by the
usher and delivered on a tray
with biscuit to the seated cus
tomers during the "Intervals,"
or Intermissions, for one shill
ing, A live musical back
ground is used sparingly but
effectively with the plays.
During the first "interval," a
heavy fireproof curtain label
PAINT WITH
ed "Safety Curtain" Is lower
ed briefly, in keeping with
British law, to assure the
audience of existing fire pro
tection between stage and
audience.
Actors at the Old Vic re
gard its stage with affection
and humility. They come not
merely to display themselves
as actors but with a real sense
of devotion which shows in
their work; nt the same time
they strive to keep produc
tions creatively-fresh and not
tradition - heavy. Much of
Shakespeare plays better than
it reads. This is especially
true in the chronicle or his
tory plays. Words in drama,
as notes in music, are simply
tools on which to hang the
meaning; both performcrand
listcnor must work to ferret
out the significance. The actor
can do wonders with gesture,
voice inflection, and actions
known as "stage business."
But even more important is
timing. And seldom have we
witnessed such subtlety of
timing as in the two Old Vic
productions seen.
See Richard II
The first night we four at
tended a performance of King
Richard II. The cast was both
talented and perceptive -direction
superb. The first
quality that struck us was the
polished naturalness: obvious
ly the English feel entirely at
home with Shakcspcnrc. The
sustained silences were deep
ly Impressive, indicating both
courage and confidence of
actor-director know-how, to
the extent of producing goose
flesh. In some scenes the ac
tors moved almost as a ballet
troupe to point up an Impres
sive speech. A head might be
turned or an arm lifted, on a
critical word, the silent actors
thus pointing up the words of
the speaker in an almost styl
ized manner. S u c h a tech
nique might easily have been
carried to extreme, but, re
served for a few big scenes, it
was tremendously effective.
If we should offer any criti
cism it might be of Richard
himself, played by Alec Mc
Cowcn, whose attacks of
speech at times seemed a bit
too explosive. But in the end,
the entire production served
to point and shape the cogent
humor, wisdom and simplicity
of the world's greatest drama
tist. The second night we saw
King Henry V. Again, the cost
was excellent, with many of
the same actors agnln appear
ing, but with a different di
rector. And again, the timing
was superb, with actors working-
beautifully together -achieving
that sharing of
emotion known as "rapport."
Actually, this production
transcended that of the night
before. The most moving
scene occurred at the end of
Act II when the conflict be
tween England and France
reached its climax. Perhaps a
psychological sympathy was
involved here, for the English
well understand the differ
ence between losing and win
ning a war, and thus were
able to Inject a special depth
