o 8 A. 6BB Potpourri is sorry for Shakespearean festival fans who did not attend the closing night performance of "The Tempest" last Saturday. We haven't missed a closing night performance in several years, and this was probably the most delightful of all. lhe entire production seemed as smooth as silk. That little man from Colorado, James Sandoe, who annoys some of his good friends by refusing to wear anything other than good old substantial blue jeans, re gardless of the occasion, may comes to clothing but he is certainly an excellent director, Robert B. Loper, as good an actor as he is a director, turned in an excellent, mellow performance as Prospero and Shirley Patton was utterly charming as the naive and sweet Miranda. John Dobbs was handsome and graceful in the role of Ferdinand and we thoroughly enjoyed Graham Woodruff's interpretation of Ariel, the sprite. The costuming was extravagantly beautiful and that of Ariel was practically inspired. It was our first experience of seeing all-green makeup, and we thought it extremely effective. But above all, we simply loved Ed Brubaker's playing of Caliban. Ed Brubaker is a good, substantial actor, but we couldn't forget that this monster, with the horrible, messy hair and weird costume was just Ed Brubaker. For those who may not know, Ed Brubaker has the reputation of being one of the kindest, friendliest men around the theater and the idea of him being a "monster" was tremendously funny. Every time he came on stage, we laughed. He must have been the best-natured After seeing "The Tempest" in Ashland, we read again the review which Brooks Atkinson of the New York Times wrote after seeing the same play staged for the Shakc n.areBn theater in Stratford. Conn., this summer. It was directed by William Ball, who production of the play a tew Ebert, who was at Ashland for Another ex-Ashlander In the was using his real first name of Mainer wnen ne was wuii the Ashland festival. The noted Mr. Atkinson praised many aspects of the staging and direction as supervised by William Ball and said "It shows how wonderfully things can improve.' Dl- rector Ball had the privilege or wonting wiui u"i .,.:W .nnslrinred one of the nation's leading actors, and who played Prospero. Of him pero sets the mooa in me ursv tu..vjM.B without sentimentality" and we think Mr. Lopcr's Prospero accomplished much the same mood. We particularly liked Mr. Atkinson's closing paragraph. He wrote "Neither Mr. Carnovsky nor his director has for gotten that 'The Tempest' is Shakespeare's avowal of re concilation to a world that ho had found callous and greedy. wu- i th. int snnno Mr. Carnovsky (Prospero) discards his wand and drowns his book and prepares himself for . . iif vulfhmit rancor or meanness, we realize that Shakespeare Is speaking to us directly asking for our mercy In recognition of the mercy he has given to the evil in the play, That expression of modesty and humanity is all of wi.ij . Luncheon Opens Year For Group Medford Garden club opened its fall schedule of ac tivities with the traditional herb luncheon. The luncheon, always one of tho most Im portant events of the .year or the club, was held at Pings Garden this year and lunch eon was served to about ou members and their guests.
