Medford Group Travels
To Eugene for Program
When recounting the ad
vantages of the freeway type
of highway, one should not
forget the fact that it widens
the cultural horizon for those
who have access to it. The
case and speed with which
one can travel to Eugene,
Portland or even San Fran
cisco for concerts, plays or
other musical or dramatic
events means that an increas
ing number of persons are
doing so.
Thus it was that a substan
tial number of valley mem
bers of Jackson County Civic
Music association were in Eu
gene Saturday night for the
Civic Music attraction, "A
Program for Two Players"
starring two of this nation's
outstanding dramatic perform
ers, Helen Hayes and Maurice
Evans, in Shakespearean ma
terial. Twenty-five members
chartered a Greyhound bus
for the trip, the first time
such a venture has been car
ried out within the member
ship, and others went by priv
ate car.
Executive Experience'
This writer cannot speak
for others, but. we" found the
evening a completely satisfy
ingeven an exciting experi
ence. The combination of two
truly fine stage players and
Shakespeare could hardly
miss. Miss Hayes and Mr.
Evans lirst performed this
program for the American
Shakespeare theater festival
in Stratford, Conn., last sum
mer and since it was so suc
cessful, it is on the road this
winter with a total of 80 cities
to be visited.
Surely the two and' their
company of managers and as
sistants will not find, any
where else on their tour, such
an unfavorable place in which
to stage a dramatic produc
tion as McArthur court at
the University of Oregon. It's
main virtue is its size re
gardless of the number of per
sons who wish to attend a
performance in it, there is
always room in the cavernous
building, used mainly as a
basketball court. Because of
its size, open construction and
bad acoustics, musicians find
the building a. poor one in
which to give a concert. To
present a program such as
Miss Hayes and Mr. Evans
are giving is truly a great
challenge, and the two met
the challenge admirably. Mi
crophones and loudspeakers
are, of course, a necessity,
but the -system Saturday night
worked so efficiently and un
obtrusively that one was
seldom aware that the words
were being applied.
After Saturday night's ex
perience in Eugene, this writ
er is convinced that Miss
Hayes truly deserves her
great reputation as an actress.
After 57 years on the stage
(she made her debut at the
ago of five) Miss Hayes is
a still vital, magnificent. The
program runs the gamut of
Shakespeare-tragedies, come
dies, histories, songs and son
nets, and Miss Hayes is equal
to all of it. True, she may
create a more perfect illusion
for one character than an
other, but this is of little con
sequence. "Coniiance" Memorable
This reviewer chose her
portrayal of "Constance" in
"King John" as the high point
of the program. Seated with
covered, bowed head, her face
showing the agony of a
mourning mother, she gave
the scene in which Constance
laments the death of her son,
beginning with the words "I
Am not Mad." Although brief,
the scene is a memorable one.
In other parts of the pro
gram, the great actress was
scarcely less fine. She strutted
about the stage and created
a bright and gay Rosalind for
Mr. Evan's Orlando: with coy
looks and fluttering eyelids
she was Katherine respond
ing to the wooing of Henry
V. And she strongly matched
wits with Mr. Evans in scenes
from "The Taming of the
Shrew."
Technique is usually taken
for granted in the truly great,
but we cannot resist mention
ing this woman's excellent
diction. It is a positive joy
to hear her speak the English
language.
Evans Distinguished
Mr. Evans, whose career in
American theater is also dis
tinguished, both as an actor
and as a producer, received
the warmest applause Satur
day night for his rendition of
the scene from "A Midsum
mer Night's Dream" in which
the parts are being distributed
and he is Bottom and com
pany, changing the timbre of
his voice for the various
clowns. Mr. Evans enjoys
this, and the audience enjoys
it with him.
He was commanding in his
rallying cry speech from
"Henry V" "once more into
the breach, dear friends."
This may be hearsay, but
we had spected more of Mr.
Evans. His voicb at least as
he used it in the vast reaches
of McArthur court, seemed to
lack the richness and author
ity which we have found in
some of the actors who have
appeared on the Ashland stage
for the Oregon Shakespearean
theater. Like every other
Shakespeare fan in the audi
ence, we waited for the fa
mous "O, that this too too
solid flesh" speech from Ham
let, but it failed to stir us as it
has done time after time from
the Ashland stage.
But as we have indicated,
players are working against
great handicaps when appear
ing under such circumstances
and with such a program
the actor must shift swiftly
from mood to mood, from role
to role and there is little time
for the actor to make the
necessary mental preparation
to build the character.
Miss Hayes and Mr. Evans
present their scenes and
sketches on a small stage with
a few simple benches and
couch-like pieces of furniture;
variety to the staging is fur
nished by different stage
levels. Miss Hayes opened the
program wearing a handsome
blue chiffon gown and after
a time changed into one of
brilliant green. She complet
ed the program wearing an

The chartering of a bus
seems to be an excellent idea
for Civic Music members who
wish to go to Eugene for pro
grams, and we hope the plan
is repeated. Saturday's group
left the Greyhound depot
about, 2:30 p.m. and slopped at
the Village Green for a lei

which seemed to please every
one. The group arrived at the
court in good time and left
soon after the end of the pro
