Tuskegee Beat
GrambIing

TUSKEGEE INSTITUTE, Ala.
-Tuskegee's Golden Quint was
unstopable here Friday night and
chalked up a to "a score "a
gainst Grambling College of
Grambling, Louisiana. The scrap
ply team played inspired basket
ball, and placed Sthe Tuskegee
partisans in an uncomfortable
position because of their accu-
rate and effective long range
shooting and their ball-hawking
ability.
Legolia Moore, who played a
great game for the visitors, spark
ed the play of his teammates. He
sent the ball on long rides to
score, finding the hoops seven
times from the flood and three
times from the foul line, rolling
up a tatol of II points. Coach
Moore has an excellent scoring
combination. Twelve men were
used against the Golden Quint,
four of whom did not attempt
to shoot, but fed the ball to those
players who had keen eyes for
the baskets.
Tie top man in the scoring
for Tuskegee was Wilbur George.
His one-hand losses from var
ious angular positions were gems
in basketball performance.
Claude George was the second
high scorer with Is points and
Eugene Porter was third with12.
The pitching by Porter as well as
that of Calvin Jones were high
lights Oh the game. Jones is a
wizard on tie hardwood and his
floor coverage was a feature,
drawing applause from the gal
Tlery.

unhappy, though possible unayoid-
able, circumstance Of not being able
to get q seat.
As star and editor of this CT
production Of the greatest play in
the English language. Maurice
Evans, has wrought truly remark
able piece OF theater. He has
stripped the play Of It's Elizabethan
trappings, put 1t in martial dress
that is timeless, accelerated It's
tempo, and sharpened the contrast
between its tragic and comic moods.
The amazing thing is that all this
has been done without no loss to
the sublime conflict within the play
and with the introduction OF no
harsh note into its music.
This display OF genius remains
subordinate. however, to that which
Evans brings to his portrait of the
perpetuauy reigning Prince OF the
English-speaking theater. This Is
no melancholy Dane who was coined
by Evans for servicemen In the
Pacific. He is q man motivated,
instead, by the more dramatic pas
sion Of anger. He is less the man
stricken by his fathers murder and
his mothers dishonor than the one
beset by an urgency to strike back.
Men Of war, therefore, could take
him to their hearts which they did
with astounding gusto. So can CIV
ilians who have been doing 1t with
equal glsto for the past three sea-
sons in New York and on the road.
This hearty Hamlet. displacing
the man Of paralyzed grief, is q fell
low OF INFINITE surprise in many re-
spects, none more conspicuous than
that upon the humor of the play.
The high, healthy laughter which
one always suspected was one OF
the tragedy's most brilliant aspects
In its Elizabethan days was lost
those many years Of the Princes
pallor. The pallor Is gone now. and
the laughter is back and 1t is alto
gether wonderful thing whether

one is seeing Hamlet" for the first
time or the 18th.
Here is not merely fresh focus
on Hamlet, but also on Shakespeare.
It reveals both as men who knew
the balm Of jest In q world full Of
heartbreak.
The sharp reshaping Of the Prince
has had It's effect on so many DIFF
ferent aspects of the play. It is
filled with q dozen new wonders
which stem logically from the
change within the central figure.
That he is an easier fellow to admire
In his anger and new merriment
makes his emotions easier and more
exciting to share.
It Is commendable Of him, and
ever 80 much more manly, that he
can be tender with Ophelia now.
There Is q Justiflably different
tone, too, In the tumultous boudoir
scene in which the pompous Poloni-
GUS meets his unexpected end, and
In which the dishonored queen is
confronted by Hamlet's heartbreak.
The tragic truth Of this tremendous
passage In the play. that some
where there is love between these
two 50 disappearing humans. never
was more visible than in this
production. There is no less OF
vengeance in Hamlet or dimin-
isled sense Of guilt on the part Of
the queen, but these are played
more softly to let the other meaning
through. 1t turns out to be a most
excellent idea.
Another basic and rewarding
change OF stress Is that laid upon
the plot as q duel between the
prince and the unlawful king. The
CT Hamlet" Is never more q mas
terpiece than In the suspense 1t gets
into the conflict between these two.
Here they are not so much symbols
as they are men, the one noble. just
and decent, the other evil and de-
PRAYED.
Three centuries have recorded
that Hamlet Is the victor in this
murderous feud, but 1t plays some
how as II the result is still In, doubt,
an effect which delighted CT audi
ences no more than It does their
successors at the National.
i \ i -
There have been changes III The
cast OF this Hamlet" produced by
Michael Todd. Thomas Gomez has
given way to Henry Edwards as the
king and the change Is not for the
better for Gomez was the lustier
man and more nearly . match for
this angry prince. Another replace
ment is that Of LII Darvas by Doris
Lloyd in the role Of Queen Gertrude,
but this is less noticeable except In
the absence OF Miss Darvas' Aus
trian accent.
There also Is a new Ophelia, blond
Pamela Conroy. Miss Conroy, like
Frances Reid In last seasons COM
pany, Is lovely young thing who
might well have turned q princes
head. were the prince 80 little the
man Polonious thinks. .-.-
Generally speaking, however,
there Is no change in the pitch of
excitement in this Hamlet" to
which Irene Sharaff has contributed
so brilliantly in the costumes, and
