Veteran actress Dame Judith Anderson, following a handful of, ladies of the stage before her, has decided that the role of Hamlet can be played as well by a woman as by a man, and she's preparing for an extensive U.S. tour as Shakespeare's melancholy Dane.

WUNDER, Barrister. 252-1121. IMF Ml grows Performing Hamlet has been in her mind since an almost-production on Broadway a decade ago, and now has come about chiefly because of her blunt distaste for what's going on in today's theatre. "There isn't anything I want to see or hear," she says.

"You hear about Hair and Oh! Calcutta! and it's all disgusting to me." As for fresh scripts that come her way: "I don't want to waste my remaining years waiting for something that I have respect for." Besides, doing Hamlet is "my way of communicating with and doing something for youth." Dame Edith likes to recall those long lines of students at the box office when she travelled across the U.S. several seasons ago with compact editions of Macbeth and Medea the latter her FABULOUS FOR EVERYONE AT THE ODEON! THERE'S SOMETHING most famous characterization. Hamlet is to be a full-size version. Doing five performances a week, the six-month tour mainly will play schools and universities from coast to coast There will be only a single performance, at Carnegie Hall here. "It isn't that I'm avoiding criticism," says Miss Anderson, "but I'm not setting out with any idea of pitting myself against the great male Hamlets either.

"This is going to be a production without any tricks and that might start a whole trend, mightn't it?" With her auburn tresses trimmed to mannish length, the dynamic artist will fit herself further to the part by wearing a black pullover with slacks, rather than leg-tight hose. Although she has ranged widely from classics to contemporary drama to Jerry Lewis comedy in a career spanning more than half a century, Dame Judith has never before attempted a male part, somehow having even overlooked Peter Pan. Hamlet has, however, proved an irresistible attraction to distinguished actresses over the centuries from Sarah Siddons in 1775 to Charlotte Cushman in 1851, Sarah Bernhardt in 1899, and Eva Le Gallienne and Siobahn McKenna in recent years. "The majority of great parts are written for men," Dame Judith says. "I don't think of Hamlet as either male or female.

It encompasses every emotional note on the scale."

The mother of the title, together with her bridge-club companions, set up a network to gather trivial information on neighbors. It proves so successful that the federal government uses it as a pilot program for nation-wide snooping.
