A Full Assay
Mr.. Munro's assignment
was to incorporate in this
"recension" all the available
scholarship on Shakespeare.
He was to accept what he
wished but to include in
its copious footnotes inter-
pretations which he had not
accepted but which had
gained acceptance elsewhere.
This careful assaying of
all the known Shakes
pearean scholarship has re-
suited in many changes in
the texts of the plays and
poems. This random reader
did not find any great change
in some sampled well-known
passages from the plays and
sonnets. Some changes in
spelling or punctuation were
noticed. however.
Apart from having unde-
niably authentic texts of
Shakespeare's works. this
edition is valuable for the
completeness Of the intro
auctions which Mr.. Munro
wrote for each play. The
pure scholar, he had no the
sis to prove, no moralizing
to be made. He gave fully
and effectively a history Of
the manuscript in each case
and subsequent publication
of each play. its derivations,
what meanings have been at
tributed to it by the best
scholars, and what rank it
has achieved in the list Of
the plays and in the litera-
ture Of the world.
The changes Mr.. Munro's
research and scholarship
produced are for Shake
speare scholars to APP
praise The labor is theirs.
The pleasure Of this magnifi-
cent edition is the general
readers.

sidered the universe good or

She begins with an icono-
elastic study of Hamlet. She
sees him not as the irreso-

was sensitive and thoughtful
and melancholy, but he was
cruel as we'll as sensitive,

Ophelia as "a disreputable

she derives the theme that
Shakespeare thought that all
of society was corrupt, that

God.

travelled extensively, has ex-

Exceptions Exist
Most people are aware that
in law there is a privileged
husband-wife relationship which
results in a more or less general
rule that "a wife cannot testify
against her husband" and vice
versa. Actually the rule is
not so universal as generally
believed; there are exceptions
to it. and there may be further
variations depending on whether
the case is a criminal or civil
one.
The question raised by the
Darnell-Liebmann-Beck case is
whether the accused person can
still bank on the husband-wife
ban against testimony by a
former spouse if there has been
a divorce. In California, ap-
parently. such testimony is

The seldom performed "Dich-
terliebe," probably the richest
of all the Robert Schumann
song-cycles in musical invention
and psychological unity, was the
unusual cornerstone of Raymond
Browns recital at the Phillips
Gallery last night.
Forsaking the path of least
resistance, Mr. Brown built his
program around a sharp con-
trast between the romantic Ger
man cycle and two English
groups, classic and modern. 1t
was an enterprising experiment
In program-making and a laud-
able one, even though it did not
achieve the unity of the standard
bill of fare, with its balanced
groups of songs in different
languages and its chronological
development.
The "Dichterliebe" requires of
its interpreter the subtlest
warmth and sensitivity, and an
absolute avoidance of even the
slightest suggestion of mawkish
sentimentality. Its imprisoned,
deeply felt melodies call for
master-singer who finds its
romanticism congenial.
Although Mr.. Brown showed
evidence that he is an intelligent
vocalist with a voice of good
quality. he failed to measure up
to the high standard demanded
by the "Dichterliebe." Despite an
admirably relaxed tone produc-
