' There's a lot to be learned from appearing in a show in New York City. For one thing Philip Hanson has discovered for himself what he already knew from the experience of others - that good reviews on a theatrical production do not guarantee an - audience. Several weeks ago this actor, well known on . the west coast, particularly for his apt peatances with the Oregon and San Diego Shakespear ean festivals, took off for New York City to try his luck with a one-man show based on Herman Melville's novel, "Moby -Dick." i .' - " John Lptas, the producer who put Hal Holbrook's "Mark Twain"' one-man show over in New York, became in terested in the Oregon actor and eventually the show open ed at - the Madison Avenue Playhouse. The reviews with an exception or two, were generally good,- but ticket sales were not sufficient to keep the show open and the Hansons have '-returned to their home in Ashland. Phil has been 'signed for a role with the 'San Diego festival and will1 leave 1 ' later this spring to begin rehearsals there.- t ,. , ,' ,. . Most of the critics were ex tremely Interested in the fact that ah actor would, even at tempt to convev. with a one. man ' show, the 1 depth, and breadth of the famous Mel ville sea: novel about a stub born captain and a killer whale. Many of them thought that Hanson does this success fully. The critic of the . New York ... Mirror- wrote that "Hanson puts over Moby Dick" and the Journal-Amer ican writer, unable to resist a play on words, wrote "this Is a whale of a one-man show. The New York Telegram's review called the Oregonian "a dedicated actor of skill and intelligence." . Richard Cooke,, of the Wall Street Journal, devoted con siderable space to an evalua tion of ; the Hanson venture and wrote that "It is a test of versatility, for it is not just a reading Mr. Hanson at tempts, 'but, an entering into the personalities of the nar rator Ishmael, the three mates, the ship's carpenter and the redoubtable and fa natical Captain Ahab. He wrote that those interested in "Moby Dick," in whales or in acting could find rewards in the production. . The business recession has had a deep effect on show business in New York, the Ashland couple found, and since theater tickets are no toriously costly in 'that city, attendance has fallen off great ly. The" Hansons attended sev eral Broadway and off-Broad- wav shows. Anri wprn osnp. dally Impressed with "Beck et" In which Sir Laurence Olivier and Anthony Quinn are starring. "It was the most moving theatrical experience Chapter Honors Past Officers Jacksonville Ninety-five members attended a meeting of Adarel chapter, Order of Eastern Star, when they hon ored their past matrons and patrons.

They also enjoyed "Under Milkwood," a Dylan Thomas work at the Circle in the Square theater, directed by William Ball, who played for a number of seasons at the Oregon Shakespearean thea ter.. At the Phoenix theater they saw a production of "Hamlet and report that two former Ashland festival play ers, Joyce Womack Ebert and Ted van Griethuysen, .were being praised for their per formances, .

One is from Pitts field, Mass., where towns people have invited him to do a performance of "Moby Dick" in ' the Melville Memorial room of the public library. This would be part of an ob servance of the 200th anni versary of the founding of the city,-and it was in Pittsfield where Author Melville wrote his novel. -,; , ; 1 The second invitation Is from the city of New Bedford, Mass., where a bowsprit pulpit is to be dedicated, in a chapel next door to the Seaman's In stitute.
