Hi
t j
This reporter and Shakespeare fan is forever scanning
the theatrical columns from other parts of the nation, par
ticularly New York City, hoping to find news of former
Oregon Shakespearean festival actors. We often find such
news, but two recent letters from Richard Graham, one of
the best known of the former Ashland company members,
was filled with more news than we'd had in months and
months.
In the second letter, written to the Angus Bowmers in
Ashland, about the middle of January, Dick G. wrote that
he was to start rehearsals the next day with Ellis Rabb's
Artists' Producing association (known as APAl for the asso
ciation's Shakespeare repertory season at the McCarter the
ater in "my old home town of Princeton, N. J. We rehearse
in New York, and play in Princeton Wednesday through
Saturday evening and sometimes Sunday," he wrote.
une ot the directors will
land festival actor and director, and also in the company
will be Phil Andrus who
Jacobus and was King Edward in "Richard the Third" in
the 1956 season. Graham wrote that "Phil Andrus. whom
you would never recognize as
Ashland, is playing France in
'Lear,' and I shall be doing
course. Allen Fletcher will be

which Bill Ball (also of Ashland fame) was originally to
direct, but a conflict arose and so Bill will not be directing
for them this time. The other plays are 'Twelfth Night' and
namier ana 1 don't know what
He also wrote This is a
production of the classics which they term plays of enduring
entertainment value, or some other less terrifying phrase. As
a rep company, they played
mer, as well as in Bermuda,
Man and buperman,' a Pirandello and a Chekov. I think
it was. Anyway the Bucks County Playhouse has invited
them back this summer. They maintain their continuity as
a company through workshop study between producing sea
sons, of which there seem to be three a year, though this
is their first Shakespeare season. The plays are rehearsed
and put into the repertory one
tnis season will last through
"Before I forget, Juliet
sons in Ashland as Mary Jo Randall) was given the lead in
the Phoenix theater production of Dion Boucicault's 'The
Octaroon' which comes up next. It's a glorious part for her,
and I know she'll knock them dead with it." A dip into our
file of Ashland festival programs showed that Miss Randall,
who had to drop the "Mary Jo" because another New York
actress had the same name, played Rosalind in "As You
Like It" in 1957.
The newsy letter from Actor Graham had started with
the information that "Borak" in which he had been appearing
in The Martinique, off-Broadway theater, had "expired of
box office malnutrition." Writing earlier to Pappy and Pot
pourri, he had enclosed a leaflet about Borak, described as
a verse play by Robert D. Hock. Allen Fletcher had also
directed this play, which had earned excellent reviews from
most of the New York drama
to catch on with the patrons.
Borak, he wrote "is a verse play on a fictitious incident
In the Civil War. Allen Fletcher directed It and Gordon
Davidson of Highland Park was one of the producers. They
had called me for a part in it, but I couldn't see those mur
derous off-Broadway rehearsal salaries at that moment, and
declined. The play got good reviews, but little interest from
the public and was about to close, but the announcement
of same created a small flurry at the box office, so it was
reprieved.
"Last night I took over
the Preacher, vacated by Don Gunderson (another well
known Ashland player) who has moved to the off-Broadway
production of 'Beautiful Dreamer,' a story of Stephen Foster.
You can't tell tile players, even with a program, inasmuch
as some have adopted more euphonious names than those
we knew them by In Ashland., Nicholas Pryor, whom we
knew as Nick Probst, played Launcelot Gobbo when I direct
ed 'Merchant'; Philip Andrus, whom we knew as Phil Ja
cobus, played Biron in 'Love's Labour's,' etc. Both are doing
very fine work in this show, Jacobus far better than one
would have foreseen when he was in his apprenticeship in
Ashland.
"Tony Ristoff Is still himself, being very convincing and
unembarrassing in the difficult
Janet Saltus is a walk-on in
usher. (Janet, whose family
years, was in the festival company and appeared In Ashland
High school and Southern Oregon college plays.)
No one knows how long
have also taken over the understudyship of Colonel Borak,
which Gunderson had, I'm hoping it will last long enough
for me to learn it and have a crack at playing it."
The aclor also disclosed that he had just learned "cour-I
lesy ot Bin ration ana tne f estival Newsletter, of the statue
of Lear erected on the coffee terrace of the theater. Here I've
been immortalized half a year and didn't even know it. Is
It any good? This stupendous fact has earned me the family
nickname of 'rockhead,' so I may sue!"
Hollywood is also putting
land Shakespearean actor. Potpourri received a release from
no less than Clcary-Strauss & Irwin of the film capital
saying that George Peppard is being co-starred with Audrey
Hepburn in the Jurow-Shepherd
"Breakfast at TKfony's."
The play is based on Truman Capole's short novel, and
the story is told in the first person. However, the Hollywood
release said "Any resemblance between Mr. Capote (rhymes
with 'floaty') the distinguished 36-year-old playwright, short
story writer,-novelist, bon vivant and esthete-about-town, and
Mr. Peppard (rhymes with 'en garde') the former football
player, fencing expert, taxi driver and engineering student,
is unlikely and astonishing."
To which we might add that Potpourri has a little trou
ble findiifg any resemblance between the George Peppard
which Clcary-Strauss and Irwin described and the one we
knew during his time with the Oregon festival. Except, of
course, that festival directors and patrons also know that
Mr. Peppard is really an actor. O.S.
