Commager Discusses Civil Liberties in U.S. Exemplifies Argument For Pragmatic Necessity The first of a series of lectures on “National Security and Civil Liberties,’ provided for by the Cooper Foundation, was given by Henry Steele Commager at the Friends’ Meeting House, Swarth- more College, Sunday evening, February 11. Mr. Commager discussed “The Pragmatic Necessity of Freedom,” and emphasized that although the basic freedoms have been guaran- teed in American federal and state constitutions for a hundred and fifty years, “each generation has to indicate these freedoms anew! for itself.” There are risks in tak- | ing things for granted. Only those people who have been required to| indicate and justify freedom fully understand it. Constitutional issue has always been a bit obscure, although “those who enacted it (the Constitution) thought it was constitutional;” ‘t is not enough, however, for free- dom to be legalistically vindicated by the courts. The other, “natural rights,” ap- proach, asserts that the basic rights are not conferred by gov- Continued on Page 4, Col. 2 After the Undergrad Dance, Merion Hall will sponsor an open house from two until three a. m.

Still Closely Tied (Miss Barbara Wootton, noted British author, lecturer, and radio commentator, spoke on Britain in the World Crisis at the third Alli- ance Assembly on Current Affairs for 1950-51 on January 19 in Goodhart Auditorium. Miss Woot- ton stated: “The ties between Brit- ain and the United States are still very strong and important. The part which Britain can play in the international situation is closely connected with her internal strength.” British policy seems “slightly crazy on this side of the Atlantic.” Americans want an ex- planation as to what happened to the British. The United States thought the British ungrateful and their poli- tics absurd when they listened to Churchill and voted against him in 1945. The victory of the Labor Party was not a sudden event, but the culmination of a process. Lab- or had gained strength in Britain before World War II. The work- | ers had become stronger through The question of vindicating the’ necessity of freedom of dissent may be approached in two ways. | One is the legalistic approach: the| unions, and there were thinking people in all classes. In 1945, “the British thought the war was over.” They turned back to cherished ideals | which had been turned aside for expediency. They wanted to ex- periment with mild socialism, and for that reason ousted Mr. Church- ill. The British acted not with in- gratitude, but with maturity. “We do and did admire Mr. Churchill as a war leader, but we decide our policy on private issues,” said Miss Wootten. Mr. Churchill has two personalities: leader in war and leader of the Conservative Party. The British did not want to deify any political figure. “In the first place, the Socialist Party is like ourselves,” and there- fore, appeals to many people.

Since Britain now has different types of people in power, everyone can say, “Some representative in government has had experience like mine.” Five years of domestic legisla- tion, however, were too much for the British. The legislation follow- ed two general trends: 1) Conver- sion of basic industries to public ownership. Labor had wanted to do this for fifty years. Some of the converted industries were coal, railroads, electricity, and gas. 2) Provision of social services and complete social security for all.

McBride Speaks On Civil Defense In Present Crisis On Tuesday, February 6, at the opening assembly of the semester, Miss McBride spoke on civilian de- fense, and—also the responsibility that must be taken by college wo- men in this time of crisis. Concerning civilian defense, a faculty and staff committee has now been appointed, and graduate and undergraduate representatives will also be appointed to serve There will be drills in the halls, and each hall will have designated safety areas in case of atomic at- tack. Although odds may be a thou- sand to one against bombing, knowledge of proper procedure in ease of atomic attack is most es- sential. Miss McBride, speaking of the responsibility of college women, said that short of extreme emergency not now anticipated, there will be no draft of the fem- inine element in the country’s de- fense. All women’s services, how- ever, will be expanded with in- didate schools. The chief difference in the utilization of woman power ed from the last world war, will be that rather than taking men’s do jobs particularly suited to them. specialized jobs and services. Because there will probably be a two year draft of men in profes- sional and scientific fields, the whole range of professional and scientific work will become open to women—indeed, they will be in great demand. We will be living, at best, in an atmosphere of pro- longed tension, and most import- ant of all, it is up to each individ- ual to decide for herself the essen- tial questions; not, “What can I do” but rather “Am I doing what is most necessary, and am I doing Continued on Page 5, Col. 5 creased facilities for officers’ can-, in this emergency as distinguish-; Shaw Lecturer Dr. Reischauer Discusses Asia Reischauer Sees Japan As Short-Range Problem Edwin O. Reischauer, Associate Professor of Far Eastern Langu- ages at Harvard University, was the first speaker in the Anna How- ard Shaw lecture series on Conflict and Change in Asia. He spoke last Monday at 8:30 p. m. in Goodhart on the subject of “Japan.” He stated that a basic dichotomy has been the cause of our present ideol- ogical warfare. A push towards centralization makes the few men who are leaders more powerful, while on the other hand, the ten- dency towards universal education promotes a desire in the “Little” people, the many, to run the gov- . , ernment; in short, education pro- motes a desire for democracy. “The whole of Japanese history swings back and forth between these two possibilities.’ Japanese history contains a moral for the other na- tions of Asia: as they westernize, industry brings technical skills, which entail the expansion of ed- ucation. The dichotomy is inevit- able. “It is not possible for the rest of Asia to remain in its present state. The future of democracy is important in Asia,” for she will either turn to democracy or total- itarianism. “Change is in Asia; change is producing conflict.” The impact of the western world has only been felt in Asia during the last century and a half.

Presumably you have chosen this goal because you feel that this college has as high an academic standing as any in the country. But you also want a well-rounded reputation for Bryn Mawr. Down with the myth of myopia and library pallor—we want intelligent and attractive graduates to show the world the “Bryn Mawr type”. If you want assurance that future classes will meet the superlative standards of past ones, you must help to per- petuate a student body of high calibre. How? you say, and the answer is, be a campus guide. This reply may surprise you, but campus guides are one of the strongest links between present students and prospect- ive ones. Each guide is sole personal representative of the college to a sub-freshman’s family. In that moment you alone embody all Bryn Mawr. Our rooms are not always neat, exam-exhausted students are not always considerate; you must prevent visitors from receiving superficial impressions only. You must reveal to them the deep friendship which pervades the dormitories, the sincerity of intellectual effort which gives meaning to lab and library—that is the true Bryn Mawr. : You may protest that campus activities fill your spare ‘time. But you particularly show that Bryn Mawr presents a ‘balance between the academic and extra-curricular aspects of college life. We now need, therefore, many students to donate very little time for this important and honorable ser- Current Events Common Room, February 12, 7:15 p. m. Miss Mildred Northrop trollable. Both economic and pol- itical issues are involved. In the last analysis the monetary issue is a simple one. When there are scarce goods and services and a great deal of money in circulation, the money must play on the goods and the prices must go up. The reason for the present crisis is that because we are preparing for defense we are drawing from the normal supply of goods. If we are to pay for defense as we go, through taxation, it would mean a tax increase of sixteen Volunteers Give Onin (OW Work Camps Aid | _ | Published weekly during the College Year (except during Thanks- || spoke on “The Present Declared : Pur ose giving, Christmas and Easter holidays, and during examination weeks) Emergency in Domestic Affairs.” At the weekly assembly this Pp of BMC Stage, in the interest of Bryn Mawr College at the Ardmore Printing Company, ‘ ? : , morning Doris Hamburger spoke Duty of Critic Ardmore, Pa., and Bryn Mawr College.

The treasury now sustains one- third of the national debt; it wants. to keep the interest rate low so it can pay off the debt. If the general market interest rates go up; the treasury will have to ask Congress to raise taxes so it can continue to pay the national debt. The Fed- eral Reserve Board suggests rais- ing the interest rate to stop infla- tion. This would raise the general market interest rate and affect the Treasury adversely. The FRB is therefore seeking Congressional sanction for this measure, although they have the power to take it without sanction. Congress is trying to avoid decid- in the issue. If inflation continues it will get out of hand and render us incapable of fulfilling our inter- national commitments and of meeting the state of emergency on its broader basis. The administration is not now taking a firm stand on wages and price control. The Wage and Price Stabilization Board consists of labor and industry. members. _In- dustry members say that wages should not increase more than eight percent over the general increase since June 1950, before they start increasing in proportion to living costs. Labor members say wages should increase sixteen percent. The public opinion, favouring a ten percent increase, will probably pre- vail. The main effort to control prices is now directed at control at the raw material stage. The problem remains of how the end-product cost can be regulated when effect- ive control exists only over raw materials. The WPSB may oper- ate upon agricultural prices only when they are over the parity price. The legislature, which an- nually fixes parity, has kept prices under parity. Opponents of - this agricultural price raise policy argue that it will lead to uncon- trolable inflation. Counterpoint takes great The Katherine Fullerton Ger- ould Prize Committee of the Alumnae Association will award a prize of $50.00 to an under- graduate for her entry of one or more articles in the follow- ing categories: narrative; in- formal essay (excluding critical papers and formal essays); verse; or drama. Any student may submit one or more entries, unsigned, to the Alumnae Office, second floor of the Deanery, not later than 4 p. m April 4.

There is much less rehearsal time for college productions than for professional ones. What time there is, is not worth as much as in the professional theatre because ; the energies of all the members of ‘the production are divided between | college work and the play at hand. The actors and the workers be- hind the scenes are amateurs. They are interested in the theatre and may know a lot nl but they are not professionals. Yheir work represents an attempt to produce art. In many cases they have diffi- culty in expressing their feelings and their understanding. But they are willing, and they have the cour- age, to share their attempt with the college and its friends. For these reasons it is unreason- able to review college productions as Howard Barnes reviews Broad- way plays. e Be The Class Hit, Pa ae Take A Baby Sit!

Nicholas | The goal, the effort, and the re- sults produced are essential ques- tions in an amateur undertaking. Therefore in all fairness and gen- uine interest, the NEWS reviewer should go to a half-way point re- hearsal. If she sees only one pre- sentation of the play, she cannot know the progress made during rehearsals; nor can she fairly judge the final realization of. the end in the minds of the group. The review of Le Miracle de Theophile illustrates some of the shortcomings of student reviewers. When she wrote the article the re- viewer was unaware of the tre- mendous effort, of the many extra hours of work given by Marianne Schwob to her role. Attendance at one of the rehearsals would have indicated this effort. Nor did the reviewer make suffi- ciently clear its superior results. Marianne Schwob made striking use of movement in portraying the role of Theophile, the thirteenth century cleric with a tortured soul. Her expression would have been impressive in a professional theat- re. Inadequate praise can be a harmful mistake in the criticism of professional artists. Their self-confidence is easily shattered. One of the problems in student productions, where a professor di- rects, is to break down the student- professor barrier.

Brass Ensemble Excels in Performing Program of Early and Modern Music by Frances Shirley, ’53 The Gotham Brass Ensemble, di- rected by David Simon, furnished an unusual concert on January 21 in the Deanery, under the auspices of the Bryn Mawr Music Club. The concert was a complete suc: cess from the point of view of the audience. The move from Wynd- ham to the Dorothy Vernon Room eliminated the acoustical problem created by more than a dozen brass instruments. Even more to be com- mended are the musicians them- selves, who played without the benefit of a rehearsal in this loca- ‘\tion, for this lack of a chance to become acquainted with the acous- tical properties of the room was not evident. The first half of the concert was devoted to sixteenth and seven- teenth century music when the brass groups were at the height of ‘their popularity. First were three pieces by Adriano Banchieri, an Italian of the late sixteenth cen- tury. They were in canzona style, and the Fantasy in Echo, with its marked contrasts in volume, was particularly effective, but the en- tire group started the performance Observer Snow falls silently on the spired rooftops. Everything soon loses identity in this stirring white world. Night comes; the air clears, and the stars shine brightly, sol- emnly admonishing the sky for be- coming prey to the raging but transitory storm. The snow once king becomes a prostrate slave to the busy, hurried figures which tramp over it. Are these figures aware of the beauty of the night around them, or of the fury of the storm that has passed? These gifts of nature might never have been, for the passers-by are concerned with one thought only, which is not of the great white world, but, alas, of the small white card—a course card. The power of the card is greater, during the first week of the sec- ond semester, than any other pull on those who walk the paths be- tween the buildings. The dread and the hope it commands is stronger than love or hate, hunger or thirst. The reign of the demon begins in a modest way at first. We come back to college joyously to start the new semester. We buy our new books, we go to our new classes from the opening assembly with fresh heart and mind. But our confidence in our new life soon dis- solves. At the first mail delivery we see dozens of regular white en. velopes on the table, and we know that they contain the Dread Mes- sage. Our heart jumps sickening- ly, and we rush over to see if ours has come. It is not there, and our burst of courage leaves us shatter- ed and shaking. We look at the '.

Henry Purcell’s Funeral Music for Queen Mary, with its dignified and chorale-like opening and can- zona-form close was next, and fol- lowing it, a sonata written about 1684 by an unknown composer The performance was superb, with purity of tone and lively grace throughout. For the scheduled Garbrielli Sonata the musicians substituted two pieces by Antony Holborne, Honeysuckle and Night Walk. Two Airs by John Adson and Benedictus Grep’s Paduana were the last of the early pieces. The Ensemble turned to contem- porary British music with Richard Arnel’s Ceremonial and Flourish, which was notable for change of effect and sharpness of attack, es- pecially in the martial passages, The modern music continued after the intermission with Willson Os- borne’s Prelude. It was the second time that Mr. Osborne’s music has been included in the Music Club’s programs and the composer him- self was present. Needless to say, it was excellently played, as was Tall Tale, a piece based on folk idioms, by Henry Cowell, in which the effect of the muted trumpets, varied rhythms, and lyric quality of the instruments was striking.

Bryn Mawr won all five games with the following impressive scores: 1st—McCormick and Dawes, 15-8, 15-12; 2nd— Leeds and McCulloch, 15-3, 15-9; $rd—Iglehart and Townsend, 15-7, 15-7; 4th—Blackwood and Wallace, 10-15, 15-6, 15-12; 5th—Davis and Muir, 15-8, 15-8. The Varsity, 2nd, and 3rd bas, ketball teams played the three Penn State teams here on Satur- day morning, February 10. The Varsity was unhappily defeated; the final score was 21-61. The 2nd and 8rd teams, howéver, came out on top with scores of 49-35 and 38- 81 respectively. An unusual note was added when the first team game was televised for later broadcasting. The machine was operated from the balcony just above the door and did not seem to bother the players at all. Although the first game was excellent to watch, Bryn Mawr just couldn’t seem to get started. (Most of their passes did not connect, their dodg- les did not work out, and their 'shots were on the whole too low. During the second quarter, how- ever, they picked up considerably, and Tuck Howell made thrée bas- kets. Penn had a very fine team, but one forward, Cynthia Johnson, was responsible for 33 of the 61 points. The following is the Bryn Mawr ist team line-up: Forwards Guards Merrick, B, Perkins, A. L.

They tired a litle during the second half, as was natural, but Continued on Page 4, Col. 4 Versatility of Acting, Depth and Skill Mark ‘Lear’ by Helen Katz, 53 Perhaps one of the most delight- ful things about the last perform- ance of the past run of King Lear, at the National Theatre, was that it was the last performance. Every actor, without exception, was ab- sorbed in a kinetic performance. Louis Calhern, as Lear, delivered his portrayal carefully, slowly, and with tremendous vigor. Nowhere did he outshine or seek to outshine the thoroughly excellent players acting with him. From the moment the curtain went up, there was an intense interest on the part of the nudience, and a feeling of “this-is- the-production-of-the-year”. As the disillusioned father, the kingdom- less king, and the beloved master, Mr. Calhern’s delineations were even, and in each capacity, he rose superbly to the full height of the lines. The single set, with its raised center platform served convincing- ly as a throne room, a stormy heath, a lean-to, and the entrance to Cornwell’s castle. The over- hanging blocks of painted stone were lowered during the storm scene, and steam projected around them transformed them from the ‘ceiling of a castle to ominous ‘clouds. Lighting was also well ex- ploited, used to full advantage to 'show bursts of lightning, and char- |acters’ expressions; and during the blinding of Gloucester (onstage), they fluttered and dimmed. | The amazing casting of the play paid dividends in the beautifully \integrated performance. Joseph Wiseman, as Edmund, was excel, lent. The only criticism one has of the entire performance was his entrance at the beginning of the play, and that one, purely subject- jive. There seems to be too much sympathy for Gloucester’s bastard son, after his “Wherefore base?” soliloquy than was due the play’s villain. Coupled with his desires and absolute self-interest, was a too-playful villainy which he dropped as the play progressed. If Shakespeare sought to get Ed- mund sympathy from the audience Continued on Page 4, Col. 3 LAST NIGHTERS King Richard II Loses Force By Poor Casting by Helen Katz, 53 A blizzard in New York, a cur- tain that was not held for those detained by the weather, and the enormous seating capacity of the City Center Theatre, all contribut- ed toward a choppy, hard-to-hear opening act of King Richard IL. The latecomers made an unusual amount of noise as hey got seated to hear and see Maurice Evans as the pathetic, poetic Richard. Un- like the production of King Lear, more than one actual setting was utilized, a practice which, while varying the scenery, renders some of Shakespeare’s descriptive pass- ages almost redundant. The open- ing scene at Richard’s court is one of pageantry and splendor, espec- ially enhanced by imaginative cos- tumes, done by David Ffolkes, who also designed the sets. This is the first time in many years that King Richard II has been produced in New York. The last time it appeared, with Mr, Evans in the same role, was in 1937. He gives a flawless portray- al of a weak, ill counselled, friv- olous ruler, full of nobility, but not kingship. With the exception of Kent Smith as Bolingbroke, Mr. Evans has unfortunately surround- ed himself with players of a mag: nitude so far inferior to himself, that he stands out, to the loss of the play’s reality. Neither Betsy Blair, as his Queen, nor Bruce Gor- don as Norfolk give performances of any vitality; and Frederic Wor- lock as John of Gaunt fails to ex- tract emotion and movement from his lines, especially from his dying speech at the beginning of Act II, “this blessed plot, this earth, this realm, this England...” The story of the plot to place Bolingbroke on the throne in place of Richard who is in Ireland, is developed compe- tently, albeit not subtly, because of great amounts of peculiar cut- ting. The scenes with the Duchess of Gloucester are so cut that the part she actually plays is befud- dled; the sentencing of Carlisle in the last act is also cut. Instead of simplifying a plot that the acting Continued on Page?, Clo ? Involves The Country’s Continued from Page 1 that impact are rebounding; west- ernized Japan forced us into one great war, and now the war in Kor- ea demonstrates another result of western cultures intrusion upon Asia. “Asia is basically a long- range problem,” with the exception of Japan where we must, said Mr. Reischauer, “reverse the field.” Jap- an is a short-range problem be- cause she rapidly adjusted to the west. She is “what the rest of the Far East might possibly be.” Jap- an has led Asia in the process of westernization because she had many aspects of Occidental culture before its impact. She had a nation- al consciousness, she was militar- istic, and she had early capitalists; other Asiatic countries did not. She “became a power like the pow- ers of Europe and America decades ago.” Consequently, Japan is “a crucial area in the way no other part of Asia is,” militarily, econ- omically, and, most important, id- eologically. Japan has experimented with democracy more than any other Asiatic country because she is the only country with a high enough literacy rate to permit universal sufferage. There has been a specif- ic democratic experiment backed by us since World War II. Asiatics do not have much faith in dem- ocracy; they consider it a luxurious Real Problem Of The Japanese Situation Economic Aspect and peculair political form, and ac- cept a benevolent dictatorship as a necessity. Democracy has little chance in Asia for several decades to come. The occupation of Japan has been greatly succesful because we are riding “a swing of the pendulum in Japan.” The former totalitarianism now produces the natural reaction of a swing to democracy; we take the credit. The Japanese like our occupation because of 1) the nai- vete of the average man, 2) the absence of a war guilt complex, 8) the basic wisdom of our poli- tics in handling the occupation. Our aim has been “to prevent anything like we have had in the past,” for example, the Japanese War. To do this we must make Japan more democratic than she was before World War II. That “a democratic country does not want to go to war” is a basically sound principle. To help achieve democracy in Jap- an, we have perfected the mechan- isms of democracy on paper, we have helped her to attack social problems through these mechan- isms, and we have tried to place men on a more equal footing through the breaking-up of big in- dustrial combines and the strength- ening of labor unions. The economic aspect of the Jap- anese situation presents the real Continued on Page 5, Col. 2 SEGRE ORS (VPS OTR ts Mean eh ee eS Page Four THE COLLEGE NEWS Wednesday, February 14, 1951 Labour, Inflation Give Group Shows Variety Britian Budget Trouble Continued from Page 1 “In the new social services, what is provided for one person is provid- ed for everybody.” This is a change from the former way of thinking, which believed that social services need only be provided for the poor. The swing back towards the Conservative Party in February, 1950, was not so big as the Amer- ican newspapers would have us be- lieve. Some of the party’s victor- | ies were due to accidents of con- stituency boundaries. It is signifi. | cant that the Communist Party put up a hundred candidates, all of whom were defeated. As a result of the election, Labor Party mem- bers have a less secure tenure of power. They are bound to resign if they are defeated on a major constitutional issue. “In our economic situation, we have been aided very much by sub- sidies. \As the political situation is not secure, the present economic stability is not secure,” Miss Woot- ton continued. The economic sit- uation, however, is healthier than it has been for a long time. There is practically no unemployment; the dollar gap is virtually closed. Even though the social services are expensive, the budget is bal- anced almost every year. The two main difficulties are manpower and inflation. The British have not completely solved the problem of placing workers where they are needed. \Wages were frozen for five years by gentlemen’s agree- ment, but labor decided that the money could be found somewhere Bevin’s recent appointment to the Ministry of Labor may be an ex- planation for recent changes. He is in the best position to bring about such changes, especially re garding manpower and wages. Miss Wootton continued by say- ing that British international pol. icy is bi-partisan. Whatever that policy is, it is of all Britain and not of any party. All future suc- cess of Britain and of the United States is embodied in the United Nations. Our goal is worldwide peace; we are befuddled as to the means to help attain this end. If there is a difference between Brit- ish and American policy, it is part- ly due to geographical location. Britain belongs to three worlds: Europe, the British Common- wealth, and the world of North Atlantic communities. North At- lantic perversions are often the re- sult of the other two worlds. For defense, the British have had mil- itary conscription at the age of eighteen for the past twelve years They have also mobilized a fair proportion of economic resources for defense purposes. j “Britain is still, with all the La- bor Government, a rather nice place to be,” Miss Wootton noted in conclusion. The British enjoy freedom to vote, freedom of the press, and freedom of association which is the basis of industrial rights and freedoms. What is ap- propriate for Britain, however, is not always appropriate for the United States. Miss Wootton end- ed her speech by saying that she did not advocate English Social- ism for the United States. With Dirges and Airs Continued from Page 3 Mikado completed a remarkable concert. The Mikado Overture, transcribed by Robert King, was perhaps most enthusiastically re- ceived by the audience, and it cer- tainly showed what brasses alone can do with a piece of music. The tone was beautiful, the rhythm firm and strong, and the control of ,volume excellent, as they had been throughout the afternoon. Adding greatly to the. total suc- cess of the program were Mr. Si- mon’s comments between pieces. He told about the particular com- positions, about brass groups in general, and about the Gotham en- semble, which in three years has grown from a few men’ playing with groups like the Pathetic Brass Choir to an organization playing over the radio and con- certs. This reviewer, for one hopes that they will be again en- gaged to play at Bryn Mawr and acquaint us with more of the brass ensemble music which is all too seldom heard. Historian Says Freedom Necessary For Security Continued from Page 1 ernment but are such as no gov- ernment can take away from men, and emphasizes the dignity of man. No one in our society will deny the dignity of the individual and the importance of this concept in democracy, but the emphasis on rights is not conclusive. Mr. Commager stated that there is an argument for the pragmatic necessity of freedom. The natural rights theory of transcendentalism is a philosophy of absolutes; prag- matism disregards absolutes. To say that freedom is an absolute right and an absolute good is all right, but you cannot go further. Americans have used both philoso- phies, but we have lately abandon- ed the pragmatic to adopt doctrin- aire standards. We set up stand- ards, accept conformity to these standards, and judge the- results by the degree of conformity which is displayed. We think that if we can use labels, we have clarified the situation; therefore we fling terms around loosely. As Tocqueville pointed out, the most effective censorship is not legal censorship; it is public opin- ion. The danger today is not of orthodox or herterodox thinking, but of no thinking. The promotion of purges of college faculties and gov- ernment employees will lead to the development of the kind of society in which the freedoms of inquiry and criticism, along with other freedoms, will not function. We must encourage dissent be- cause we can not live without it. Freedom of thought can only be lost voluntarily. It is impossible to calculate the overwhelming advant- age of this freedom as contrasted to totalitarian systems which are | based on absolute conformity. If we start hacking away at our freedoms through insistence on conformity we are lost; we will mager emphasized that we must ideas.

His brother, Edgar, played by ‘Wesley Addy, was also exceptional, especially when he posed as Poor Tom, the mad beggar. His half-nude rages across the entire stage held everyone spellbound. The same quality of holding the interest of the audi- ence was seen in the versatile act- ing of Norman Lloyd, as Lear’s fool. He was wistful, heartbroken, sarcastic, entertaining, and always convincing, a good “point of rest” for the audience between scenes of very high tension. Guy Arbury as the Earl of Gloucester, one of Lear’s retainers, and foil to him in the parallel story of treason against a father, gave an enlight- ening performance, full of dignity and pathos. Edith Atwater and Jo Van Fleet, as Goneril and Regan respectively, again were well-cast and understood their roles. To- gether with Nina Foch (Cordelia), as the three daughters, they evok- ed full meaning from their lines, although Miss Foch could have spoken louder at times.

Mention of Kurt Richards as Oswald, steward to Goneril, must also be made. His sharply directed mannerisms, low sweeping bows and haughty re- plies, added roundness to the tra. gedy, and directed attention to- ward the allover atmosphere of evil of the two sisters’ houses. Another fine performance was rendered by Martin Gabel, as Kent, the faithful exile in disguise, a performance by an actor-turned- producer, and one of scope and de- termined’ evenness. The most stirring of the scenes were the blinding of ‘Gloucester, the storm on the heath, and the final moment in which Lear enters with the dead Cordelia in his arms, when his laments climaxed an ex- haustive dramatic scene. Adding greatly to the presenta- tion of King Lear were the gorge- ous costumes (as well as the rags for Edgar, Lear, and Kent) design- ed by Dorothy Jeakins, who receiv- ed an Academy Award for her “costumes in color”. If one thought that the perform- ance was outstanding because it was the last night of a successful and acclaimed run, at least the il- lusion was not shattered until the end of the play, when, to thunder. ous applause. Mr. Calhern stepped forward and announced to an elat- ed house that the play was to have ‘another four-week run in New York, as well as a tour of the country next season.

Reynolds Evans, as York, uncle, of the King, regent in his absence, gives an adequate performance, | but his acting is prone to fall into his actual ‘position in the play—,| somewhat helpless, and wavering. | Particularly exemplary of the hap-| hazard direction, surprising for Margaret Webster, was the action in the parting scene between Rich- ard and the Queen, before he is sent to prison and she to France. As the King leaves, the Queen moves toward him, but is blocked by young Hotspur (John Glennon) with crossed arms and a_ scowl. Certainly this is an odd interpre- been’ manhandled into a series of tation of the gallant of the later play Henry IV, Part I. By far the most memorable of the scenes is that before Flint Castle, when Maurice Evans, on a tower constructed on stage, replies to Northumberland: “What must the king do now?” The scene, a night one, is full of the poetry of Shakespeare, rich in his interpre- tation of a repentent, beaten man and the climax of the play. It was the only time that the theatre was completely quiet. The murder of Richard was also a stirring scene, but rather melodramatic, as he stood on a table, a la Tarzan, and fought off his assassins.
