Other Stratfordians had
thought this for sometime.
The city's fathers. not such
pure politicians as to be I'M
aware of the arts; were among
these.
Accordingly, they gave
young Tom and his fellow
idealists $125 to send the for
mer to New York to enlist the
interest of Sir Laurence Oliv-
Ter in the Stratford Festival
idea.
Olivier proved not merely
unattainable. but even un-
reachable. Mr.. Patterson never
saw him. He was sure, how
ever, that had he been able to
approach Olivier the latter
would have been attentive. He
was so sure indeed that this is
how he reported it, that Oliv-
Ter was too busy himself but
thought the idea great. Could
any lie be smaller and whittier?
The city officials, properly i'm
pressed, gave him PERMISSION
to take a next, or at least an
other, step.
This was an overseas tele-
phone call to DR.. Tyrone
Guthrie in England to whom
he offered a paltry.. non-ex-
istent $500 to bring his fame
and experience as an Old Vic
director to Stratford to start
a Shakespearian festival. A
bad connection, this one a
blessing, kept DR.. Guthrie in
complete ignorance of the fig
ure until he had accepted the
offer with the fervor of q
genius in off beat, classic
drama.

Above all, in DR.. Guthrie,

The Passing Show
Thot, in Effect, Is
How Strutford Got
Its Drumu Name
By Joy Cormody
sTRATFORD, Ontario.


We approached Stratford in
a canary yellow station wagon
as the August sun was casting
a last pleased look across the
rich Ontario plateau.
This. it seemed. was a way
Shakespeare would have liked
to come upon his own STRAIT
ford. ID.
He could be a festive fellow
and there must have been
times when a canary yellow
station wagon would have
ideally dressed his mood. The
most special of these occa-
sions, perhaps, his final home
ward turning from his long
triumph in London.
Be that as it may, this was
the Stratford arrival arranged
for, US by the Jerry Bakers of
Buffalo, he a kind of Ameri-
can ambassador to Stratford's
Shakespearean festival and its
greatest enthusiast this side of
the border. 1t could not have
been more adroit. Mr.. Baker,
an articulate sort at the proper
times, knows when to let life
speak for itself.
Tension Departs -
The leisurely 140-mile drive
from Buffalo, via Niagara Falls
of course, makes a dramatic
exit from our national ten
sions. just as dramatic an en-
trance to the pastoral country
side of Canada. The precise
point of change could be at
Dundas, where the station
wagon begins the climb from
the glaciers greedy gulp in
the Niagara Valley. Twelve
hundred feet upward, it comes
out on the plateau which lev
els off toward Stratford.
Early twilight is the ideal
time of arrival there. Now the
city of 10000 is dressed for
the evening, prepared to en-
terrain it's guests and be enter
tanned by Shakespeare and
Sophocles. It has moved down,
with it's hundreds of visitors,
to the banks Of the gentle
Avon River, whose stately
swans could be part of Shake
speare's own Landscape.
One has come now not
merely to Stratford but to
timelessness, the more en-
chanting for its simplicity. Not
completely, but sufficiently,
one knows the answer to that
plaguing question: Whats
wrong with theater?" The an
swer is that it is never like
this elsewhere, which is also
the secret of Stratford's sue
cess as a drama festival cen
ter.
Money in the Bunk
It's second season came to an
end last night, a success beyond
the most extravagant hopes Of
the innocent idealists who
started it with a paltry $125
appropriation from the city
treasury three years ago. In
the bank today is much more
than $157.000 which the first
season crossed. And which was
$4,000 short of defraying the
expenses of the festival which
starred Alec Guinness.
This contemporary "Strat-
ford Story" is full of inspira-
ton and drama, the latter
beyond that represented in the
three classic plays presented
this year.
It is a heartening story to
absorb from the people of a
city who transformed the dull
ness of a torpid trading area
into the delight of world rec
ignition as a dramatic art
center in two bright, brief
summers. This is an experience
to give a town a glow. STRAIT

day Fred Wampler, Indianapo-

Julius Boros, former National
Open champion from Mid Pines,
N. c., had a 70 for 36-hole

dropped from third-round pair
ings.
A mixup near the edge of the
18th green disqualified the
hometown favorite, Jackie
Burke. jr., despite his 36-hole
las.
Burke's second shot was in
casual water, just off the green.
Apparently thinking he was on
the green, he placed the ball in
stead of dropping it. Called for
a one-stroke penalty.
Both Burke and a threesome
partner, PGA President Horton
Smith, signed the Houstonian's
scorecard without the penalty
stroke.
Smith said he was working
with an umbrella and did not
know Burke had placed the ball
until several spectators called it
to his attention.
Burke promptly disqualified
himself after the mixup was ex-
planned to him.
