In keeping = balance, Just as its star

players IN the supporting cast are
considerably less effective than were
their predecessors, but even despite
this handicap the quality OF the pro-
ouction remains decidedly superior to
anything We have seen in the lyric

THERE is, Of course, no reason for

the ceaseless interest in Shakespeare

satisfactory amalgamation is effected
can the proper greatness of the plays
be revealed and an audience brought
70 realize how stirring and beautiful
a classic poetic drama actually can
be. But certainly they would be-
brought to any such realization far
more effectively If the star were sur
rounded by other players who knew
something about combining the two
aspects, instead of by wooden figures
thas stand about stolidly, rather un-
comfortable in their strange costumes,
and then from time to time burst into
sing-song utterances that are pre-
sumably in verse. There certainly
have been some excellent perform-
ances in the lesser Shakespearean
roles OF late. There were, for example,
Miss Gish's Ophelia and Arthur By
rons Polonius in the Gielgud Ham

Augustin Duncan's John Of Gaunt In
the original Evans King Richard H."
and Charles Dalton's Northumberland
in both the original and the current
Evans production. But they were
the exceptions rather than the rule.
and that is not the case In most real
Isle plays.
When we speak so ghbly about the
differences between the realistic and
the poetic drama We frequently forget
that they have way OF overlapping
each other. The really first-rate real
istic play is almost certain to have its
touch of the poetic-as witness the
dramas of Eugene O'Neill-ani cer-
tainly the works Of Shakespeare have
their grimly realistic details. One is
bound to be uncomfortable, therefore.
when actors in Shakespearean play
lost all contact with the reality of
their Characterization and give us only
lyric outbursts. Nevertheless, If We
are placed in such an unhappy pre-
dicament as to be able to find actors
who can give us only one side of the
Shakespearean genius, think would
prefer one who could recite the poetry
beautifully. For in the end we must
admit that Shakespeare was greater
as a poet than as dramatist.

fog horn, bells, sirens, whistles, as
sorted harbor sounds, roller coaster
rumblings and accompanying human
shrieks. This column frankly felt
sorry for the Civic.
On Thursday night, September 16
at 9;34, a young man wandered
through the doorway Of the Civic Of
f1ce. Six people were at work. They
looked up. The young man opened
his mouth: IT." he said, Specialize In

opened their mouths.
Il read a piece in the paper" he
went on. Il can do those noises for

was assured that no one else had.
He smiled and then a frown sseaked
across his face. There's one draw

Incredulous murmurs came from
six slightly CONSTRUCTED throats. Does
it-maybe I shouldn't ask this, but
does it-sound anything like the siren
at the State penitentiary?" The six
said no. that it sounds more like
COW. He was surprised.

arrangements were made for the
young man to return on Friday. the
