Don't ever think the sword
fight between Macbeth and
Macduff isn't real! AS staged
by the Old Vic players at the
National Theater this week,
the duel is so genuine a slight
slip on Macduff's part last
night sent the edge of Mac
beth's big sword through his
adversary's glove and into his
thumb.
The handsome Macduff,
played by William Sylvester,
was still wiping away the
blood when he arrived at the
British Embassy for the de-
lightful supper that followed
the show.
The CORY Shakespearean
play, described by some as the
bloodiest Macbeth" they had
ever seen, and described by
Walter Lippmann as the most
interesting Macbeth" he had
seen, drew still another COM
ment from a man who has to
think in terms of hydrogen
bombs and mass attack.
"It made my present pro-
fession seem pale by compari-
son." observed Deputy Secre-
tary of Defense Roswell Gil
patric.
THE GILPATRICS were
among the theater guests of
British Ambassador and Lady
Ormsby Gore, whose party
occupied the presidential box
and the one just behind it.
Also in their group were
Mrs. Stephen Smith, Austral-
ian Ambassador and Lady
Beale, Canadian Ambassador
and Mrs. Heeney. and Lady
ClarisSa Duncom be, the
pretty 22-year-old grand
daughter of former British
Ambassador Lord Halifax.
Lady Clarissa is staying at
the Embassy and will be here
until May. She was helping
at the Embassy. said Lady
Ormsby Gore who pointed to
the two lovely bouquets of
white flowers that flauked
the door leading from the
ballroom to the terrace. Her
house guest had arranged
them in decorative fashion.
Justice Felix Frankfurter
made one of his rare social
appearances at the British
Embassy. 1t took something
like this to get him out, he
indicated. Praising the per-
formance, he was asked what
he thought of the human
heads that rose from the
witches cauldron of CHASTITY
brew and spoke to Macbeth.
"Very realistic" quipped
the justice, who didn't know
it but he was repeating the
exact words of South African
Ambassador Naude, evoked by
the same scene.
MRS. NICHOLAS LONG,
WORTH, in a handsome
printed brocade gown, was
among the Embassy guests
who missed the play but came
there after a dinner. Assist
ant Secretary of State and
Mrs. Averell Hartman and
Director of the international
Monetary Fund and Mrs. Per
Jacobson were others.

their daughter and son-in-
law, the Roger Bannisters,
