GnLET'TELONG
YEARNED FOR
"HAMIET"

Murder win outI Secrets Of
years eventually are revealed
Whoever imagined that William
Gillette cherished a craving to
play Hamlet? Sherlock
Holmes as the melancholy
Dane? william Postance
vouches for it and he should
know, for he has been for over
80 years stage manager for the
eminent actor.
william Postance became Will
liam Gillette's secretary when
the actor first played Too
Much johnson" in England.
Later, he joined him for an
American tour, spent the six
weeks in California with him
while Sherlock Holmes" be-
came q play, and there has
never been o performance Of
that redOubtable melodrana
that william Posfance has not
stage-managed. He assisted in
directing the first production
and has directed every revival
since.
FOR over five years." Mr..
Postance says, MIR. Gillette and
/ worked on plans for produc-
ton of Hamlet / don't think
I am violating any confidence
when I tell the story. MIR.
Gillette had always wanted to
play Hamlet and we not only
worked on cuts in the script
but on q mechanical method OF
shifting scenery. In each town
we played. one dressing room
would be turned into a work
shop and, after the performance
at night and hours each day
and Sunday, If we weren't
travelling, we would work
there.
"But Frohman wanted Gil.
lette to do the Admirable
Crichton.' Hamlet was tenn
porarily shelved and never re
vived. The scenery was put IN
storage, and as far as ! know
it still may he there"
It was q dream Hamlet"
that william Gillette planned
to do. Postance says that the
footlights were to be on when
the audience entered the
theater and the gates Of the
castle were closed. After the
audience was seated the lights
receded and when they came
up the first scene was on view.
There was TO be no inter
mission during the perform
ance: it flowed uninterruptedly
through the tragedy. and then
at the end the fading lights
came up once again, the castle
gates were closed and the play
was over.
Even today one can picture
Gillette as the youthful Ham.
let. The brittle personality. the
crisp tones, all combine to
create the illusion of one of the
most tragic figures in literature.
Postance prizes the blueprints
of the production which he has
preserved through the years,
the plates for the costumes, the
cut manuscript. Perhaps some
day Gillette viii see his dream
Hamlet" on the stage, even
il the theater is deprived Of
seeing him in the leading role.
