"KING LEAR" A truly fascinating and en- chanting evening was spent in the company of the finest actors and actresses in Canada, when they gave a flawless perform- ance of Shakespeare's "King Lear" at the Festival Theatre in Stratford, Ontario. One of Shakespeare's best-known tra- gedies, "King Lear" was writ- ten between 1600 and 1606, about the same time as his oth- er famous tragedies, "Hamlet", "Othello", "Julius Caesar", and "Macbeth" were penned. Lear, King of England, is intent upon dividing his king- dom among his three daughters, Goneril, Regan and Cordelia. Before he does he asks each for expressions of her love for her father. The two eldest, Goneril and Regan, profess their deep feeling for him but Cordelia, disgusted with her sisters' insin- cerity, vows only to love her father according to her duty. The angry Lear then takes her portion of the kingdom from her and divides it between her sisters. Before long, though, he realizes that he has been wrong about his two supposedly devot- ed daughters, and now he knows "how sharper than a serpent's tooth it is to have a thankless child!" (Act 1; Scene 4). In despair, he leaves his palace for a stormy heath, accom- panied ccom- panied by his Fool and the Earl of Kent. By this time, the ag- ing Lear is slowly losing his sanity and the Earl of Glouces- ter kindly comes to his King's assistance. At the same time, Gloucester's two sons Edmund and Edgar, are also vying for their father's affections. Ed- mund, who adds much of the humour but also a great deal of treachery and cruelty to the play, tells Goneril and Regan what his father is doing, and Regan's husband tears out Glou- HARRISTON 1 El THEATRE FRI.-SAT.

Cordelia, having learned what her sisters have done, comes home to be near her aged father. With her she brings a French army to fight with Ed- mund's English forces. But she is defeated and with her father, taken prisoner. Goneril poisons her sister Regan, then stabsher- self; Edmund is killed in a battle with his wronged brother Edgar. But before he dies Ed- mund tells them to save Cordel• is whom he has ordered hanged.' but it is too late. Cordelia is carried in by her father, who delivers a sad elegy over her body, then dies of a broken heart. The play lasted more than three hours and admittedly, dragged in some of the scenes in the heath. But all other parts of the production were faultless, particularly the last act when, though they were coming to the end of a tense and trying evening, members of the cast showed more fire and spirit than they had all night. In every scene the gen- ius of Michael Langham, its director, shows through; the in- genuity, the originality, the appeal, the special touch that is his alone, makes this play the success that it is. Performances of the actress- es and actors don't exactly less- en the quality. John Colicos in the title role, is magnificent in every scene, aging with the pathetic Lear, making Lear's thoughts his own, and filling the King's shoes as if he were Lear himself, with all his prob- lems. He more than deserved :he standing ovation he receiv- rd 'after the final act. Frances iyland and Diana Maddox ,'ere perfect as the two elder laughters, and Martha Henry Save Cordelia beauty and sym- pathetic charm. Kenneth Poguc ,vas replacing Tony Van Bridge in the role of the Earl of Kent Create Wildlife Habitat Improving Woodi oI The Good Times fishing and hunting club in Dundas has de- monstrated that it is truly in- terested in conservation. When the Wentworth County Forest at Rockton was original- ly planted, the extremely poor site conditions of certain por- tions of the tract precluded the planting of the more valuable timber species. Scotch pine, a very hardy species, was plant- ed as a pioneer and as a source of revenue from the sale of Christmas trees that were cut from this land for many years. Later, white pine and white spruce were underplanted and the scotch pine acted as a nurse on this evening, and was mar- vellous in a role with which he must not have been too familiar. Hugh Webster as The Fool and Eric Christmas as the meek and cowardly Oswald (Goneril's ser- vant) created many laughs, yet there was much good advice of- fered by the Fool. Mervyn Blake as the blinded Gloucester, and Douglas Rain and Bruno Ger• u'ssi as his sons, performed better than ever before. The production would have been a monster flop without the performers, I admit. But to me, the real star was unseen. It was Michael Longham who made Edgar the lovable son whom the audience watches turn from a mouse to a courageous swords- man. His ingenious direction causes (what looks like) 'real blood' to flow from Gloucester's eyes, and blood to spurt from Edmund's arm (causing a gal in the front row to almost climb the walls!) when he wounds himself in the Second Act. In fact, for every member of the audience that packed the the- atre that evening and has every other evening, I suppose I should say a huge 'thank -you' to Mr. Langham and his cast for making "King Lear" so real, and giving us a night of enter- tainment that we won't soon forget! School matinees began at Stratford this week, but regular performances of 'Lear', will be given on Saturday even.ug, the 19th, and Wednesday evening, the 23rd, at 8;30.

As the spruce and white pine "took hold" the scotch pine's usefulness declined and its pres- ence began to be harmful. It was crowding the smaller trees that would eventually make up the future timber crop. There was another effect taking place as well. It was not of too much consequence from a for- estry standpoint, but of great importance to the sportsman. Anyone who has stood in a ma- turing coniferous plantation will have observed that the shade created by the closed forest canopy eliminates the ground plants and cover neces- sary for wildlife survival. It is often a beautiful view, a view of straight rows of clean trunks and a soft carpet of pine needles but no wildlife stirs. The •members of the Good Times Club volunteered to per- form a release cutting of scotch pine on a specified sec- tion of the Rockton Tract. They removed the over -topping scotch pine on five acres. They went one step beyond normal forestry practices by dragging the felled trees and piling them to create substantial cot- ton tail den sites. In this part of Ontario, ma- ny of the land -use practices such as clean farming, urban deveTopment and certain for- estry practices, tend to reduce wildlife population by the re- moval of cover and food. It is not usually the lot of the average sportsman to be able to do much about these things. As a rule, circumstances confine his conservation activities to obedience of the game laws and an effort to "leave some for next year". But the Good Times Club's release cutting at Rockton has a double-barrel- led effect; forestry benefited because the commercial tree species were given more room to grow and the club members created wildlife habitat, The opening of the forest stand will give wildlife plants the opportunity to re-establish themselves. The construction of den piles will give neces- sary cover to the cottontail rabbit. In essence, more food and more cover equals a great- er game potential for this area. This effect should be felt for 15 or 20 years until the white pine and spruce close in again. This is real wildlife conserva- tion Win Junior Series Whitechurch Juniors advanc- ed into O. A. S.
