Enliyens Reports
BY JACK JONAS

In this city of stuffy reports,
formal language and columns
of figures, the Report From
the Folger Library" was worth
waiting eight months to see.
1t is one of the best exam
Piles of the informal report
that has come across this desk
in q long time. It shows how
information and opinion can
be painlessly impaired.
The Folger Library deals in
Shakespeare and his era and
the times Immediately before
and after. Perhaps it is the
pace of the Shakespearean
scholar And the leisurely
world in which he moves that
set the tone for the report.
The current issue OF the
not-so-regular report leads
into a barbed attack on anti
Shakespeareans this way:
"A few weeks ago a we'll
meaning and worried friend
of the Folger Library called to
know whether we were con-
cerned about the devaluation
of our assets in case the pro-
moters of Christopher Mar
lowe proved that he wrote
Shakespeare's plays. We as
sured our friend that, on the
contrary, we had hedged years
ago BY acquiring one of the
finest Marlowe collections in
the world and were sitting
pretty. He seemed re-
lieved. :"
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1956-03-07

RECALLING a news story
about Prize Fighter Lou Nova's
adventures with Shakespeare,
the report says:
Ever since william Lyons
Phelps invited Gene Tunney
to lecture on Shakespeare, to
the great refreshment Of the
spirit at Yale, prize fighters
and Yale men have known
better than to disparage cul-
ture. The latest to discover
that Shakespeare might pro-
vide a beacon light to higher
things is Lou Nova, sometime
opponent of Joe Louis. -
The report is the work Of
DR.. Louis Wright, the library's
director, who worked his way
through college some 30 years
ago by writing for newspa-
pers. 1t is not all fluff. 1t talks
about library matters and
problems, too, but entertain
ingly.
There is an item, for exam
pie, about returning Dor
rowed books. It points to a
rare book found recently on
the Folger's shelves-a book
obviously belonging to the
Boston Athenaeum.
Although realizing that
"nicety of conscience in these
matters is likely to beget not
praise but frowns from some
of our brethren, who may be
a shade uneasy about this and
that" the library sent the
book to Boston. The staff
heard later that it had been
missing from the Athenaeum
since 1857. Somehow, years
later, it had made its way to
the Folger.

PREFACING an item about

PREFACING an item about
a job opening, the report says:
1.-THE movies have perpe-
trated a cliehe about women
librarians that is as erroneous
as it is damaging in the per-
sonnet department. For they
suggest that a woman librar-
ian is owl-eyed and awkward,
wearing spectacles and an air
of gloom. -. We can testify
as an expert that the ratio OF
pulchritude and charm in IL
braries is several cuts above
any we ever discovered in the
cinema capital. We could, of
course, instance the Folger
Library in particular but we
do not want any studio scouts
around trying to hire our
staff. We have a hard enough
time keeping others from lur-
ing them away. :"
Discussing the irregularity
of the report, the librarian
writes:
Always we hope to pub
lish on a regular schedule Of
four issues a year; always
something turns up to claim
our time.
But we know that the
world is not standing on tiptoe
eager to hear about books and
research. Our news is not
pressing and strident, thank
heavens, and we can wait for
a lull to describe events In the
Tudor and Stuart world"
That depends, DR.. Wright,
on who's writing it.
