law is Of great importance to
many military persons still in

Maurice Evans to Be on 7V
In a Drama He Knows Well
By Harry Macarthur

/
We haven't had a television
milestone in some time, but Mau-
rice Evans is preparing a real
humdinger in the special events
line. This one will be a triple
first" On April 26, the date
generally celebrated as William
Shakespeare's birthday, Evans
will celebrate with his TV dra-
matte debut in television's first
Hamlet"
This will be no emasculated
one-hour version, but will be a
direct descendant of the actors
famed "GI Hamlet" wartime
success in the South Pacific,
postwar hit on tour here. 1t
will be done on special two
hour Hallmark Hall of Fame"
program, presented by the same
sponsor who underworld the TV
premiere of Gian-Carlo Menot-
it's "Amahl and the Night Visi-
tors"
Evans supporting cast will in
clude Ruth Chatterton as the
Queen, Sarah Churchill, Hall
of Fame" regular, as Ophelia,
and Barry Jones as Polonius.
The star will produce the tele-
vision Hamlet" himself. Albert
McCleery, regular Hal of Fame"
director, will assist him as the
networks executive producer
and director.
This, of course, will be cut
Hamlet" but one cut to nor
NAL theater size, rather than
normal televiSion size. 1t is be-
ing adapted for TV by Mildred
Freed Alberg and Tom Hughes
Sand.
Many of Evans theatrical as
sociates Of previous enterprises
will work with him on his tele-
vised Hamlet" These will in
clude George Schaefer, who
staged the GI version and is
supervising this one; Emmett
Rogers, associate producer, and
Roger Adams, composer of the
musical score. All are former
:. GIs.
Richard Sylbert has been COM
missioned to do the settings
and Noel Taylor and Guy Kent
will supervise the costuming
Their task will be to "evoke an
almost story book period of Nit
tel Europa 10Th Century" This
was chosen by Evans for his
televised Hamlet" las conveying
the dual features of a court
which was military in charac-
ter but at the same time de-
cadent."
It is the actors thought that
"this era, neither so distant in
time as to seem remote nor so
contemporary as to strain Gre
dulity, will heighten viewers
consciousness of the modern
parallel in the play"
4 X y
And how does NBC feel about
all this? Well. NBC, in the
words of Vice President Charles
C. Barry, feels this way: 1--WE
are proud to have Maurice Evans
one of the worlds outstanding
Shakespearean actors bring
to the television screen for the
first time his moving perform
ance of perhaps the greatest role
ever written for the stage. Maui
rice Evans live performance OF
Hamlet will be a milestone in
television history"
