inspire other university
groups to something so basic
to both education and enter
tainment as a Sheake-
spearean festival year.
The exciting assumption
behind GUS "Othello" goes
to the effect that there was
this Moor, a man of different
skin color, with the military
genius to protect Venice when
his white equivalents could
not; and with the human at
tractiveness to conquer the
much courted Desdemona. In
many respects even more
tempting Of hostility toward
him are the facts Of Othello's
patent nobility of spirit. a
man who could be humble In
triumph, deferential in de-
meanor, and devoted in love.
A VenOmous Venice
In the atmosphere of ra-
cially venomous Venice, such
a man could only be a sitting
duck, and his beautiful, de-
fenseless Desdemona the in
strument through which to
bring him to a grossly unde-
served doom.
Mr.. Waring and his cast
literally pounce upon the op-
portunity to make this point
with all the reckless violence
with which Shakespeare
wrote it for his own audience,
one that liked theatricality
more than logic.
This recklessness is most
emphatically expressed in
Mr.. Warnings conception Of
the character of the villain
GUS Iago. His Iago. played by
Davie Barrie. is 100 per cent
Jack Dalton. including the
waggling pointed beard and
the diabolic eyebrows. 1t Is
inconceivable that anyone in
the university theater can
fail to see through Actor
Barrie's Iago save a marked
victim as blinded by his own
nobility as Clyde Wadlow's
Othello.
The multitude Of lesser
characters are not lost in
the naked duel between the
two who so completely rep
resent honor and dishonor.
Yet, it is Director Warnings
design for the play that
never for an instance shall
the behaviour of these
obscure the fierce melo-
dramatic principal conflict.
The great master of this
kind Of Shakespeare, Of
course, is England's Tyrone
Guthrie. 1t is doctrine with
Mr.. Guthrie that the bard
at his best was not a COM
plex dramatist and that, at
his worst. only a confused
one. This premise has been
productive Of the best Shake
speare, and the most enter
tanning, Of the mid-20th
century.
That the university's drama
department should share Mr..
Guthrie'S feeling so enthu-
siastically accounts for the
glowing success Of its Shake
spearean festival in its 23d
season.

Drama Critic of The Star

Drama Critic Of The Star
The structures of life and
journalism being what they
are, it has fallen this season
to Monday Drama Columnist
Harry Macarthur to review
Catholic University's Shake
spearean festival season.
Nevertheless, this veteran
follower of the schools
speech and drama depart
ment, one who indeed was
in on its birth, has kept up
the intimate relationship be-
tween them as mere theater-
goer. This has been a happy
experience, as happy as only
the experience of seeing a
play and not having to re-
view it can be.
-Four plays and no work"
there's a bad pun in that
somewhere.
Even q noncritic, however,
can find himself with an
impulse to talk about such
q season as the one at Cath
olic University and, with
Critic MacArthur's permis-
sion, that is the intention of
this correspondent today.
Musical to Come
His subject will be the
current "Othello," directed
by James D. Waring, and
now in the second week of
the usual fortnight's run
for university productions.
"Othello" is the fourth play
in the Shakespeare festival
which will wind up in May
with a musical adaptation of
that romantic frolic, Much
Ado About Nothing" It sug-
gests as did such memorable
earlier productions at Cath
olic University as Richard
III" and Hamlet" that
campus thespians and The
Bard are at their most
congenial when melodrama
brings them together.
These are occasions which
invite excitement and encour-
age quick, vigorous and high
pitched acting, which find
Shakespeare speaking at the
peake Of his poetic eloquence,
and which leave the stage
strewn with corpses. The
plots Of such plays as Rich
ard III" and "Othello" may
have implausibilities-an oc-
casional one outrageous-but
their headlong violence either
conceals these or reduces
them to insignificance.
The Gaps Invisible
II is in the knowledge of the
plays theatricality to carry
"Othello" safely across a
multitude of large and small
flaws Of this kind that Mr..
Waring and his cast play the
current production. 1t is
what Shakespeare put into
the tragedy. not what he
neglected to consider, that in
terestS not merely Mr.. War
ing and his university actors
but also the current audi
enceS. Which, by the way,
have been larger this season
than ever before and may
