Prof. F. C. Garfield who di-

healthy respect for Shakespeare
as q dramatist who needs no mod
ern form of artificial respiration
to remain alive. He has assigned
his cast a text of the play which
follows the First Folio. He has
infused the group with his own

assassination that set of a splen-
did emotional explosion.
1t rent Rome, and the Empire
Caesar created. into two armed
camps and left it political arena
that could know peace only when
one of the gangs had been
eliminated.
Shaespeare's feeling for these
rival gangs is rather evenly di-
vided. The assassins have the
virtue of being led by an idealist
in Marcus Brutus, All entirely
good man surrounded by great
scoundrels. Yet If Caesar IS to be
a hero, his death must be avenged
by Marc Anthony, Octavius and
Lepidus as leaders Of the surviv-
ing friends.
AS gang fights go. the drama
has come up with one so Grama-

The normal division of the play
into acts and scenes is not fol-
lowed. however. Rather it is
played in two freely flowing acts,
the first ending with the assassi-
nation, the second beginning with
Marc Anthony's flaming eulogy

Yet If this scene is the richest
in the play. a number OF others
are memorable.
There is proper level of ex-
citement in the high tempo open

rounds up his assassins and be-
guiles the vulnerable Brutus into
the scheme to give it a facade of

drama, too, in the hour of retri-

number of professional caliber
players. OF these. stand out per-
formers include James Maxwells s

Marc Anthony in Raymond Mac
