AUDITORIUM-The Modern
Hamlet"

William Shakespeare's tragedy,
Hamlet" was given it's second pres
entation last night in the two-week
repertoire of Robert Mantells COM
pany at the Washington Auditorium
before a large and thoroughly inter
ested audience. 1t was produced in
modern dress, a novelty that 1t seems
doubtful whether or not adds any
thing to the plays potency. Ham
let" has q timeless plot. The mod.
ern dress did not harmonic we'll with
the archaic inversion Of many verbs
and words that have long since been
discarded. 1t seems as though those
innovators who would modernize the
clothing for actors in this play might
have gone a step further and mod
ernized the verbs-making q new
Shakespeare altogether. 1t is anus
Ing to see A. E. F. type Of uniforms
on the guards who see Hamlet's
fathers ghost walk. 1t is even more
amusing to see Hamlet mako his first
entrance, followed by a sleekly garbed
japanese valet. Most Of all, 1t seems
odd that an Ophelia who would wear
the sophisticated evening gowns of
her earlier scenes would choose the
exceedingly old-style floral wreaths as
her medium Of expression, when she
becomes crazed with grief. However.
it Is all novelty, and novelty is always
interesting.
Mr.. MantelFs Hamlet. like his Rich
elieu, Is far.famed. He reads his
lines "trippingly on the tongue" as
Mr.. Shakespeare himself has put it,
but sometimes his finest effects in
soft voice are lost. He gave the ia.
nous soliloquy with excellent taste,
both in accent and action. He was
as skillful as a. clever prima donna !.
and this much-quoted passage did not
stand out with abruptness as show
piece, but, like a well rendered aria.
became to the audience a much-loved
part Of a completely beautiful scene.
Genevieve Hamper rose to the ~
culiar requirements Of her mad scene
with fine artistry. Olga Leeds does
not seem to get the emotion of her
role as the Queen from the inside
out" as one might express 1t: her
emotions seem purely Of the surface.
John Burke IS good as the usurper of
the throne. John c. Hickey as Polo
MUS spoke his lines well. but looked
for all the world like one Of the
Brothers Smith. John Alexander was
a good Laertes. Robert Straus han.
died the role Of the Grave Digger ex-
ceptionally we'll.
