It was the 1:154-56 season at
the Shakespearean Festival
Theatre at Stratford, when Sir
Tyrone Guthrie, one of the men
most responsible for the success
of the Festival, produced" Oed-
ipus Rex" as one of the season's
plays. This was one of the
first non -Shakespearean plays
that }lave been presented at
Stratford; a top Shakespearean
production of that year was
"The Merchant of Venice"
which starred Frances Ilyland
and Donald Barron, "Oedipus
The King" has become one of
the best-known and most fre-
quently performed of all Greek
tragedies. It was written by
Sophocles, who was horn in
41.15 B.C. so it is by no means a
new dramatization. It was also
during this time that masks
were used in the performances
of Greek tragedies, and they
were again used for this produc-
tion. The purpose of the masks
was to heighten the dramatic
impact of the play, and Isup-
pose they did succeed. The
masks, however, hid the faces
so we couid not recognize our
talented Canadian actressesand
actors unless, of course, you
happened to remember who
played the various roles. Doug-
las Campbell was a powerful,
yet pathetic Oedipus, the king
whose search for the truth leads
to downfall and destruction.
Robert Goodier was his enemy
and tate man who finally takes
the royal title from him, Creon.
Eleanor Stuart as his wife and
mother, Nomi Cameron and
Barbara Franklin as his two
daughters, Eric house as the
old shepherd, and Douglas Rain
as the messenger who teils'of
the Queen's suicide, were fa-
miliar voices, if nothing else.
A number of well-known stars
who have since moved on to
bigger and better things were
among the extras --Robert
Christie, Bruno Gerussi, Willi-
am Shatncr, John Horton and
Robin Gammcll. The quality
of the film, now close to ten
years old, was not the best
but the performances will nev-
er change. They were the
same superior class as always.
Though the play itself is an-
cient, its closing message
seemed all to appropriate for
today --"Call no man fortunate
that is not dead... for the dead
are free from pain."

Our native son, Christopher
Plummer, will receive new ac-
claim come next autumn when
he will agian invade Broadway,
this time in a musical version
of "Cyrano de Bergerac",
wherein he will play the lead-
ing role. He should be very
much at home in this play,
since he played the title role in
a dramatic production of 'Cy-
rano' in Stratford in 1962. That
play, which was the highlight
of the season, was directed by
Michael Langhani, who is hack
at Stratford again this year with
different plays and who will
have the same task on Broad-
way. The Broadway version is
being produced by David Mer-
rick, who has more hit shows
to his credit than anyone else
who has tried to make good on

to Spain where he worked on a
Sophia Loren 1'lCture, "The
Fall of The Roman Empire";
then he came lack to Broad-
way for the title role in "Artu-
ro Ui", a plati which unfortun-
ately was put out of business
almost before it began. This

The Beatles have arrived;
They began their North Ameri-
can tour last week, when they
arrived in Cali ornia for their
first show at San Francisco,
then came north to Canada's
Vancouver where they sent
hundreds of teenagers into a
state of hysteria:, Later, back
in California, they attended a
luncheon in Los Angeles, where
they met and no doubt impress-
ed some of the tr,,rs and their
children. The' are no less fa-
mous then they were at the
peak of their success, although
perhaps the crowds that meet
them at airports are becoming
smaller. Their tour continues
for another few weeks. The
itnportant date for us is Labour
Day, the 7th, when they will
perform in Toronto. If you
happen to have tickets, all I
can say is 'Make sure you have
