PLUMSTEEL, PRINCIPAL At Stratford A Visit Around The Big Tent With the 'close of the Shake- spearean Festival at :Stratford after the third successful sea- son, much is being written about it and everywhere critics are lavish in their praise from an artistic standpoint as well as practical. One writer uses the word "magic" to ,describe how duke festival lied caught the imagina- tion of the public, while hesitat- ing to decide whether one :factor has had more to do with its suc- cess than another.. The setting, the excellence Of the perform- ance and many other things have all seemed to be right. A visit to the outside of the big tent last Thursday night left no doubt that the festival was :drawing 'big crowds. Trust- ing tickets could be picked up at the ,door as once before, this visit :was made without reserved tickets, or even knowing what play was on. Casual watching the papers for theprevious week had given no hint of the .pro - grant of plays, in fact there was almost a total lack of publicity, Yet the (parking lot gave first indication of the crowd. There were cars with many strange license plates as well as local. In front of the entrance doors to the tent long queues of peo- ple waited patiently to get in. These people had reserved tick- ets and knew a seat waited for them. But then there was an- other line up in front of a wick- et which ;had the ominous words "Sold Out" hosted Across it. These people were waiting to see if any unused tickets would be returned. Only two tickets were offered all evening, and quickly were snapped up leav- ing a hundred or more hopeful men and women still waiting. A couple of elderly ladies had been seated on canvas chairs for more than two hours, they said. The line..clid not breakup un- til after the warning bells had rung and the bomb set off an- nouncing the start of the play. Then a :man who 'had waited patiently all evening, and with faith in his persuasive :power, tried to talk his way into the tent. The girl at the wicket smiled, "Mister" she said, "the best I can do for you is to put your name down for next year. One man who waited in the line with his family was from New York. They were on their way to visit in Wisconsin and had come up to Stratford to see the Festival. By his intimate knowledge of iihe production of Shakespearean plays in various parts of the U.S. one gathered that bhe real reason for the trip had been the visit to Stratford. "Usually there is no difficulty obtaining seats for a thing of this sort," he said, explaining why he :had come avithout re- serving -tickets in advance. Anothe main was from De- troit. "They told me at the hotel early this morning," she said, "that the tickets are all sold out." If any tickets were offer- ed to him he would look at the date before, buying—once he had bought a ticket in Detroit near the gate of some show in that city, only to find it was for the previous performance. He needn't have worried. No tick- ets were offered to him. If any "scalping" of tickets existed it was not in evidence. Many of these ,people would have :gladly paid much mor than the five dollar admission after making long trips to Strat ford. Found out the name of the play, at any rate. A. sign at the door said: Tonight's Perform ance, "Merchant of Venice." BRODHAGEN Mr. and Mrs. John E.
