Newspaper Page TextMEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD, OREGON THURSDAY. JULY 25. 19S3 B 7 Several Cases Checked by Police Central Point - Things seem to be getting back to normal following a period of activity in Central Point, according to Chief of Police Ed Zander. Accidents reported included one when a car, driven by Florence Marie Meddock, route 2, box 672A, Central Point, struck Daniel Joseph Terry. Terry was taken to Sacred Heart hospital by am bulance where he was treated for minor lacerations and re leased. Mrs. Meddock was cited for failure to obtain an Oregon driver's license and Improper lane usage. The ac cident occurred on North Third st., between Scenic ave and Princess Way. Extensive damage occurred to both vehicles when autos, driven by Thomas Roy Hut chens, 76, of 335 Alder St., Central Point, and Pat Rae Zander, 19, of 765 Ash St.. also Central Point, collided at the intersection of Fifth and Alder sts. No injuries were reported. Miss Zander was cited for failure to yield right of way, police said. Ann Ruth Padgett, 44 South Fourth St., reported that the shrubbery at her residence had been damaged by a motorbike. Beverly Ann Henderson, 136 Oak St., reported that a prowler had damaged a screen and opened a window at her residence. Ivis Clay, 214 Alder st., re ported to police that he saw a juvenile enter a parked ve hicle. Later a 14 -year -old juvenile was questioned re garding the incident. His ad missions cleared several car and window prowling cases, including the case at 136 Al der st., Zander said. The youth was released to the custody of his parents, pending a juve nile court hearing, according to police. Fifty years ago, it took the motorist 35 days to cross the continent, compared with six days now, says the American Automobile Association. Sir John Falstaff Overwhelms Audience on Opening Night Clearly, Sir John Falstaff in Shakespeare's "The Merry Wives of Windsor" is a "big" role, one which calls for im mense talents. When Robert Benson made his initial appearance before the first - nighter audience at the Ashland festival last night as the over-sized rogue, there was a stunned pause. Then, ns one, the audience gasped, "Ooooooh," and broke into applause. He was mountainous! He seemed to fill up half the stage. His costume, heavily pad ded over his already sizeable frame, and his superb make up were perfection. - If Benson had been bare ly able to recite his lines, the audience won completely at first sight would still have loved him. Balanced Cast But, amid a balanced cast of considerable skill, Benson went steadily up hill, seem ing to be better in each scene than he was in the previous one. The strength-dare we say weight? -of his performance lay in the nuances and subtle ties of his characterization, the precise timing of his de livery and the surprising agil ity of his stage movements. He wisely abandoned the constant and too hearty roar Honlcrf hv most actors who interpret the part, and instead varied his pitch, volume ana mood as the lines and the ac tion dictated. Near the final scene, a pair of antlers rakishly atop his head, he gave a lecherous squeeze to the merry wives he had under eaen arm ana pos tured magnificently. "1 am a prize buck," he said grandly, "divide me." It was almost too much, snd had Benson been a torea dor, the overwhelmed audi ence would have awarded him both ears and the tail on the spot. He was easily the finest Falstaff in our experience, and we have no expectation of ever seeing a better one. Despite his bulk, and the nearly awesome size of his performance, Benson's shad ow, however, did not put his supporting players in the dark. Playad Pleasingly Daniel J. Hoppe, In his sec ond season at the festival, was a ringer as the excitable French physician. Dr. Caius, a most unlikely suitor for the hand of diminuitive Anne Page, played pleasingly by Virginia Flick. "By Gar," he would explode over and over again, "By Gar!" Then he would set himself in dueling position, scowl fiercely, and lunge at his im agined enemy, puncturing neat, round holes in the night air. ! "Uh," he would say, with drawing the blade from his victim's body with obvious satisfaction. It was a finished performance. Ill ALL DEPARTMENTS OVER 1000 LOWER SHELF PRICES! OVER 100 MORE "SPECIALS"!

The broader part of Mis tress Quickly, the cheerful busybody who works In be half of all three suitors for Anne Page at the same time, was developed with admira ble flair by Marian Hailey. Maie Holes Dominate However, the title notwith standing, this is a play in which the male roles domi nate. And Director Ed Bru bakcr has managed to evoke an amazing variety of char acters, each distinctly differ ent and vivid. John Cetgood stands out as the amiable host of the Garter Inn, the residence of Falstaff and his rascally crew. It seemed at times that Gctgood was making too much out of too little, but the eye was compelled to watch him when he was on stage, and that is the acid test. The hapless husbands of the merry wives were played by Richard Graham and Charles Taylor. The latter's role is bland and he did quite as much with it as could be expected. ftralium. pninvinir rxinaiHat- ably more latitude in the part ui rura, who is noi ai an sure his wife isn't attracted tn Fl. staff, won frequent applause mr nis characterization.

The blond handsomeness of Jeffcry Craggs, who played Fcnton, the inevitable winner in the contest for Anne Page. was marred by a ridiculous peach - fuzz beard, which served only to blur his fea tures, rather than enhance them. To your razor, sir! 11 Is premature, since the other three plays this season haven t been performed yet, but we'll wager a crown or two that "Merry Wives' will j be the clear lavorue oi me audiences this year. crowd sure liked it.
