BY JAY CARMODY
Drama Editor Of The Starr
STRATFORn Ontario


Artistically speaking, this
small, tidy city in the high
lands of Eastern Canada is
the most exciting spot in the
Western Hemisphere.
It is the setting. all the more
dramatic for being so unlikely,
of Stratford's third annual
Shakespearean Festival, which
shines like q thread of gold in
the drab pattern Of today's
realities.
Eddie Scott. a slim home
town lad of 13 with the friend
liness and the shyness Of a
faun, sums up the astonish-
ment and delight of it:
II never thought three years
ago when I was playing pee
wee baseball just below where
the theater is, that this town
would be famous all over the
world"
These are Eddie's words for
what even the more restrained
of writer's and critics call "the
miracle of Stratford."
The miracle" continues in
1865. This, to the vast relief
Of not merely the Stratford-
ians. but to all who love good
theater. including the swarm
Of visiting critics who come
yearly holding their collective
breath.
Three Plays Again
There are three plays again
In Stratford's repertory, two
new. one a hold-over from last
season. The former are "Ju-
Evening star., 1955-07-10

formance Of "The Merchant.
The star, beyond a doubt,
and rival for Mr.. Guinness
in the memories of festival
visitors, is Mr.. Walk. And. as
the plays Portia, little Miss
Hyland reaffirms the radiance
which was an enchanting as
set of last seasons Measure
for Measure"
If there is an actor in the
hemisphere with the power
Mr., Walk gets into his cum
ming. choleric Shylock. he
should make his presence
known to DR.. Guthrie. The
Walk performance has no time
nor place for the pensive,
lonely aspects of the charac-
ter but, happily its remorse-
less force provides the specta-
tor with no opportunity to rue
the absence Of these.
So many others in the cast
respond with vivacity to the
inspiration of DR.. Guthrie's
fluid production. Donald
Harron, for instance, as an
impulsive, youthfully attrac-
tive Rassanio; Robert Goo
dier as an incautiously gen.
erous Antonio, motivated by q
perhaps unconventional affec-
ton for Harron's young man:
Helen Burns whose Nerissa is
a gem of comic bewilderment
at the antics of an heiress as
capricious as Portia; and even
Eric House as the amusingly
unctious Prince of Arragon
and Lorne Greene as the
swashbuckling Prince Of Mo-
rocco.
II THE Merchant" tUevery-
Evening star., 1955-07-10

might conclude that his mis-
sion here is finished.
In connection with the
latter, the director has dis
avowed any intention to act
as q "wet-nurse" to Canada's
Stratford. This is the door
left open by all creative artists,
however, and while they ac-
knowledge its existence with
trepidation, Stratfordians pin
their hopes on the binding
effects of an honorable mans
moral commitments. Far more
than Brutus. they recognize
DR.. Guthrie as an honorable
man.
That he is the Titan among
modern playmakers Is evident
in the circumstance that the
least likely production is the
true dazzler among the third
seasons three-play repertory.
Suddenly It's Comic
~. This Is "The Merchant Of
Venice" BY the time DR..
Guthrie is through with this
poor, time-worn comedy, it is
transformed into one Of the
greatest Shakespearean pro-
ductions ever given in this
hemisphere. Suddenly the
wan and senseless thing is
tumultuously alive, wildly
comic, bitingly dramatic and
beautiful.
These qualities, incredible as
it seems to those nurtured on
the textbook grayness Of the
play. Shakespeare put into 1t.
These, DR.. Guthrie gets out
of 1t.
Is "The Merchant Of Ven
ice" anti-Semitic? OF course.
it is. But it is also anti
Christian in that Shylock's
enemies behave every bit as
despicably. possibly more SO
since they lack the motive Of
a wronged fathers vengeance.
DR.. Guthrie's direction Of the
comedy explains both, apollo
gizes for neither. This he does
on the ground that Shake
speare's creatures are human
before they are either Jew or
Christian. He sees them both
original sinners who have
worked out their respective
reflnements Of sinfulness.
While played to its melo-
dramatic hilt, this duel be-
tween Shylock and Antonio
represents but one variety Of
dramatic weather on the We
netian landscape. It could also
be sunny, gay, ridiculously ro-
mantle and, dressed as this
time, lovely to see.
Rival For Guinness
Encouraged to let fly amid
this much ado about every
thing, Stratford's festival
company does just that. The
presumably starless group
picked up at least a star and
one-half in the very first per-
Evening star., 1955-07-10

with James Mason, the On
tario Festival proclaimed
abandonment this year of the
star system. It has a more
trenscendent brightness. how
ever, in DR.. Guthrie. He is a
star-maker, He presented one
Of the first magnitude in
Frederick Walk as Shylock in
"The Merchant OF, Venice"
And two others in Douglas
Campbell who plays the title
role in "Oedipus'' and Frances
Hyland. an elfin. shining Por-
tia from Saskatchewan.
These and q multitude Of
virile. vibrant others are the
instruments upon which he
plays the compositions Of
Shakespeare and Sophocles to
make visible the meaning and
ioyouSness Of their immortal
ity.
The result is theater not for
the cult or coterie but for the
masses for whom, all intellec-
tual snobs to the contrary,
Shakespeare and Sophocles
wrote. This is theater for Ed
die Scott and the critics, who
find themselves equally de-
lighted--and somehow sur
prisinply kin-and for New
York Times Critic Brooks At
kinson's then 7-year old
grandson whose eyes popped
at the wonderful barbarity of
Richard II" in the summer
of 1853.
Most Exciting Yet
This is what happens when
humans are permitted to see
the wonder of themselves
their passions, violences. petit
nesses and nobilities, their
graces and crudities-through
the eyes of the greatest play
wrights. They may not don
their buckskin costumes and
coonskin caps a la Davy
Crockett but they have seen
themselves in a mirror and
have been excited by the view.
It is a fair evaluation of
Stratford's third festival that
the sum total of its excite
ment, the aggregate effect Of
