There is nothing in the weari.
some nature of a junket in g
trip to Stratford. Stratford, bless
it, takes the phrase working
press" literally.
/ It provides seats for the crit
les and, as in the case of any
other visitor to the festival who
asks, will make housing reserva-
tions. 1t also provides working
facilities for such of the critics
as are not ingenious enough tt
provide their own.
/ Apart from one buffet supper
preceding the opening, at which
the critics are on their own as
if they were socially competent
(Which they are), there is nc
social program.
! The three days the critics are
in town are their own, to work
in a condition of uninterrupted
independent bliss. No luncheons
no dinners, no cocktail parties
no transportation save that a
man provides for himself, which
is usually to walk to the festival
tent.
AS a matter Of fact, two OF
the weightiest of critics had to
split a 60-mile taxi bill from
Hamilton en- route to Stratford
Were they offended? They were
enchanted to be left alone, what
ever the auditors may have
thought of the item on their
expense accounts.
What it means is that if
Stratford is, as its people say,
independent of critics. it grants
the latter independence Of STRAIT
ford. 1t could not be nicer, nor
more truly hospitable.
Evening star., 1955-07-12

OF such a place as one in whic
ater if for no better reason than
to check on how right or wrong
the critics are.
Until three years ago, STRAIT
ford was completely innocent of
any experience of drama critics.
1t has learned great deal about
them since, most of it to towns
peoples delight, some of it to
their dismay or fortnight indig-
nation.
In their turn, the critics have
learned much of Stratfordians,
the reasonable ones of the for
mer to their unqualified delight.
1t took a Stratford fireman,
for instance, to correct Mr.. At
kinson in his impression that
there could be such a thing as
Inadequate" acting at Stratford,
This was impossible, the fireman
told the New York Times critic,
in view of the fact that the &C
tors in question were playing in
Stratford. No, he hadn't seen
the performances to which MIR.
Atkinson referred, but there
was no need for that.
It was the morning after the
opening night, the play Julius
Caesar" that this visitor got his
come-uppance. 1t was admin
istered, with grace, dignity and
firmness by his hostess, Mrs.
Leone Kastner.
Il wouldn't think of not going
to a play merely because a critic
did not like it," Mrs. Kastner OBJ
served quietly. Il know people
do, in New York and Washing
ton and elsewhere, but it seems
very silly of them. I am sure
everyone here feels the same
way I do"
Mrs. Kastner spoke not merely
as a theatergoer with a mind
of her own. but as an ex-profes-
sional if of limited experience
She played a bit part, that of
an elegant lady, in the first
seasons "All's Well That Ends
Well"
Her opinion of Stratford's in
dependent mindedness was con-
firmed by the woman who must
be the festival city's most charm
ing housewife, Mrs. J. yelling
ton Gregory.
I'D be unhappy about an un-
favorable review" Mrs. Gregory
said. but I certainly wouldn't t
be guided by it,"
Neither would l." chimed in
Mrs. Helen kirkland, who grew
up on Stratford's lovely tree
canopied Douglas street.
The same went for all other
StratfordianS we met. They are
people who want heir festival
to be loved, not merely in its
larger aspects. as it is praised
by visiting critics, but in its
smaller details in which it some
times is not.
X
For all its independence of the
reviewers judgments, Stratford
is quite critic-conscious. It has
no immediate worry about the
effect of the occasional dissenting
review upon the box office. But
it is aware that the ultimate ar
tistic prestige of the festival de-
pends upon the judgments of the
professional visitors.
Some SIS critics came for this
years third festival and Strait
ford could not be more proud
that they came. not only from
Canada and the United States

Trade Agreements
And Geneva Pact
Challenged in Suit

A Morgantown CIV. Va glass
making firm filed suit IN Federal
Court yesterday challenging sew
eral phases of the Trade Agree
ments Extension Acts and q
Geneva agreement to which the
United States was q party.
Instituting the suit for q de-
elaratory judgment was the Nor

In It's suit the firm contended

The glassware company also
said it felt that a multilateral
agreement in 1947 at Geneva.
the General Agreement on Tar
IFS and Trade, was unconstitu-
tional.
The suit said the Tariff Act
Of 1880 made 1t mandatory that
Q tariff Of so per cent on hand
blown glassware and so per cent
on pressed ware be imposed.
However, the suit asserted. un-
der amendments to the tariff act
made in 1884. and the extension
acts Of 1851 and 1853, the Pres
ident lowered these rates. The
Geneva agreement. popularity
known as GAIT. was also cited.
The lower tariffs. according
to the brief, had the effect of

" In 1949, the firm said, it en-
ployed 800 persons and sold APP
proximately $1,250.000 worth Of
