'Love' Labour's Lost' Production for All the Senses
"Love's Labour's Lost" is a
production for the senses, all
five of them, as presented by
the twenty - third Oregon
Shakespearean Festival asso
ciation. There is color and beauty
for the eye, music for the ear,
the fragrance of summer in
southern Oregon in the- air.
And, while one cannot literal
ly touch and taste, there is
great stimulus for the imagi
nation even in these two.
This play, acknowledged as
one of Shakespeare's earliest,
is not one of his best. For this
reason the entertainment of
fered in its opening night is
the more worthy of praise.
There was a time in the early
history of the festival when

casts would not have attempt
ed the plays lacking in plot
stature. Now, any vehicle
from the Shakespearean pen
seems to achieve a successful
journey into the dramatic
world, judging from com
ments on the right and the
left of Friday night's audience.
The ability of the actors, the
progress in lighting, costum
ing and sound effects have
reached such finish that there
is pleasure for all from all in
the open air theater.
Returning to the senses, the
depth and sheen of the cos
tumes worn in ' Love's La
bour's Lost" can almost be
felt. There is a desire to
touch and see if they are truly
real.
Some sources say that the
story for this comedy was de
rived from French history.
That in about 1586 Catherine
de' Medici, accompanied by a
bevy of ladies, visited the
court of Henry of Navarre,
and attempted to settle the
disputes between that prince
and her son, Henry III. The
charms of the ladies in her
"retinue" were expected to
aid in the accomplishment of
her diplomatic purposes.
Certainly The Princess of
France, played by Shirley
Patton; Rosaline (Eliza b e t h
Huddle), Maria (K. Cecil
Berry) and Katharine (Vir
ginia Flick) would qualify for
any assignment in the field of
charm.

EXPLOSIVE
DRAMA OF A
DESPERATE
JOURNEYI
'Romeo and Juliet'
Moving Experience;
Performance Noted
Sometimes it happens that
way.
Sometimes a supporting ac
tor will burst forth with such
an unexpectedly dazzling per
formance that he virtually
eclipses everyone else on the
stage.
That, at least, is what hap
pened at the Ashland Shake
spearean festival Thurs day
night in Robert Loper's pro
duction of "Romeo and Ju
liet." Stacy Keach did it with an
electric performance as Mer
cutio, the high-voltage friend
of Romeo, whose violent
death at the hands of Tybalt
precipitates the sequence of
events toward their tragic
climax.
Keach was only on stage
four or five times, and Mer
cutio is killed before the play
is even half over.
But, no matter. That was all
he needed to show last night's
audience a truly memorable
performance.
Hard To Single Out
It is difficult to single out
one trait or quality that Keach
had which made him so out
standing, for, indeed, every
movement he made, every line
he snoke, was done with such
vitality, poise and skill that
one could wish no more.
His clashes of wit with Ben-
volio and Romeo were as
sharp and cutting as was his
sword - clashing encounter
with Tybalt.
He made it clear that but
for Romeo's well intcntioncd
but clumsy intervention, he
could have eaten Tybalt for
breakfast
Death speeches in the hands
of amateurs are frequently
tedious at best, but such was
Reach's power that when he
punned wryly on his own im
minent death, it did not de
tract from the scene in the
slightest.
"Ask for me tomorrow," he
muttered, through pain
clenched teeth, "and you shall
find me a grave man."
His cry, "A plague on both
your houses," was the protest
of a men who has wasted his
precious life in a pointless and
stupid cause.
Was a Seven Lost
Mcrcutio's death was a se
vere loss to the Montagues,
but Reach's final exit was an
even greater loss to the audi
ence. Marian Hailey's Juliet was
a departure from the accus
tomed fragile sweetness one
usually sees. And it was a
welcome change.
Miss Hailey brought' a
freshness and vitality to the
role that was vastly appeal
ing. She made the urgency of
her sudden love for Romeo
seem credible, and the way in
which she brushed aside the
objections to the love that her
mind raised was a delight to
see.
Two other roles demand
comment. Robert Benson as
Montague and Elizabeth Hud
dle as the nurse were excel
lent. They added strength to
the production where strength
had to be.
Something must be said
about Loper's direction. On
the whole, it is a most satis
factory production. Through
h i s imaginative guidance,
some of the scenes portrayed
were haunting and unforget
table. Well Delivered Prologue
During the Prologue, , well
delivered by John Getgood,
the entire cast files silently
onto the stage and stares with
vacant eyes, as though recall
ed from the dead, at the audi
dence, while the outline of the
impending tragedy is omi
nously intoned.
Juliet's burial scene, in
which she is borne in a cof
fin to her crypt by flickering
torchlight, was a particularly
chilling sight.
We commend "Romeo and
Juliet" to your attention. It
is a moving experience, and
Reach's performance alone is
well worth the price of ad
mission. G.H.B.
Beautifully costumed, from
masks to the floor length
sweep of their gowns, they
gave the production beauty
which could have satisfied
most audiences without the
humour, of which there was
a welcome abundance often
approaching the robust style,
which characterizes Shake
speare's mature dramas.
Robert Benson as Holo
fcrncs, a schoolmaster, scored
again. Not as overpowering in
his Love's Labour's costume
as he was as Falstaff, but
equally well received.
Bcrowne, played by Stacy
Kealh, gave authenticity to
contentions that in Bcrowne
Shakespeare was building the
f o u n d a tion for characters,
which dominated later plays.
The main point of the play
seems to be a burlesque of
current fads and affectations
of the period. The wit-combats
of the lords and ladies,
the affected diction of the son
neteering courtiers, the bom
bast of Armado (Earl Boen),
the latinzed English, and the
quips of Moth (William Gam
ble) all testify to the linquis-
tic feats that invaded nearly
all levels of English society in
tne Eiizabetnan period.
The play exposes the ab
surdity of departing from
common sense, and the ability
of Nature to assert herself in
any attempts to remake so
ciety on artificial lines. The
country wench, Jaqucnctta, so
well portrayed by Marian
Hailey, gives the final quip to
this when she appears on
stage with a baby bundled in
her arms.
The Curate (Charles Tay
lor), the constable (Fred Chap
man), the "fantastical Span
iard" (Earl Bocn) every par
ticipant in fact, gives a per
formance worthy of special re
view. But, it must suffice to
say that "Love's Labour's
Lost," directed by Rod Alex
ander, is just one more neces
sary link in the chain of what
the lover of Shakespearean
drama must see in summer of
1963.-E.N.H.
Local and Personal
Actor Jeered At
Demonstration
Torrance, Calif. - (HP1) - A
crowd of spectators . jeered
actor Marlon Brando Satur
day as he Joined pickets pro
testing alleged racial discrim
ination practices at an all-
white housing tract.
. One man thrust a sign
saying, "Marlon Brando is a
nigger-lovine creep, in front
of the actor as he marched
with 125 civil rights pickets.
The spectators laughed and
apparently enjoyed the act.
The man stepped in line
behind Brando and shouted
insults before leaving the
marchers. Brando ignored the
taunts and continued march
ing. Brando was joined by an
other celebrity, actor Pcrnell
Roberts of televisions Bo
nanza" scries, who also par
ticipated in the picketing.
Three members of the
American Nazi Party, a racist
organization, passed out leaf
lets among the sightseers en
couraging segregation.
Thirty-three of the pickets
were arrested by police on
charges of trespassing when
they refused to obey orders to
leave a model home and tne
tract sales office.
Two of the 33 persons ar
rested were identified as
Episcopalian priests - Father
Herbert Yates and Father
Morris Samuel.
She was particularly effec
tive at the time when a lesser
actress might have stumbled
Her real ability began to show
when the nurse brought her
the news that Romeo had
been banished for slaying Ty
bait.
One could see her mind
fight against accepting the
news, at last succumb to it in
desuair. and then, in a flash
of strength, suddenly work it
out so that her cousin's death
seemed a blessing.
"My husband lives." she ex
ulted, "that Tybalt would
have slain."
Lets Happy On
Richard Sterne's perform
ance as Romeo was a less hap
py one, we are sorry to re
port. It was as though he under
stood the role and knew what
he should be doing, but was
simply not quite able to come
up with it. ;
His pitch and volume were ;
too frequently at the same j
level, giving a dull sameness j
to whatever he said, and his j
stage movements lacked the
confident agility that his
blocking demanded.
