real as to customers un in the tide of passion simulated by the actors Sitting through this gives a good idea of what rabble rous ing is like The disadvantages of arena staging at least in thia case where the stage is lie in the fact that actors need a lot of room to work in1 Their very clothes sweeping robes and large headdresses demand it Add to that the need for battle' scenes and a certain amount of pageantry and it Is clear that Shakespeare must suffer plctoral ly from production in this fashion However the players assembled by producers David Hellwell and Derrick Lynn Thomas are excel lent and the virtues of their work do much to offset production faults Basil Rathbone who is starred has chosen to play the considera ble but lesser role of Cassius that jealous choleric plotter against Caesar It is a pleasure to hear lines spoken as they should be something that Rath bone does superbly Joseph Holland is Brutus and a tower of strength to the produc tion through his forceful

attention to himself until he arrives at the hayloft theater where he is to earn fame and food for himself for the next few months before he returns for the opening of the new Broad way season in September Actors and actresses are now swarming away from Broadway for their bit of fresh air and sunshine and their acting jobs in the hills and dales of the Atlan tic states And in recent seasons this group of stars has included more and more top flight names There was a time when the Sum mer theater producers had to de pend largely on minor names as piring understudies who hoped to slip into the shoes of some estab lished Broadway star That true anymore It true about Broadway stars and it isn't true about Hollywood stars 4 Last year there were 130 Sum mer theaters of top rate qualitv those which had the wherewithal to book stars This Summer there will be more And they will be overflowing with featured play ers many of whom have come back from Hollywood for ventures on the hayloft stages and also to seek an answer as to what the future of television holds And they are utilizing any excuse to stay around Broadway at the mo ment It is a healthy thing for both Broadway and the Summer theaters and producers are ap preciative for the return of the natives Paulette Goddard is playing and Cleopatra ranchot Tone is playing Second and a plethora of other movie and stage stars are going away into the country to perform in both new and old plays Some of these sound exciting and several sound adventurous if only your theatergoer had seven league boots to cover the whole of the Atlantic states Here are those I would ehoose to see if time and space would allow: Burl Ives is going to do erbocker at Mount Klsco and several other places and the bearded songster Ives is the one

the establishment made famous by the late Bill IJrown a physical condition bug who once was a New York boxing commissioner The fact that the health farm is now owned by Joshua Logan and several of his theater asso ciates made it available for the experiment Logan is director and co author of the famous play which is still running on Broad way after 28 months with a road company now in its second year The play is about the crew mem bers of a Navy transport in the Pacific during World War II When it first was produced the young men hired for the cast were not long out of service for the most

directors and producers have discovered music That of course doesn't refer to musical shows but to straight plays ranging from farce to Shakespeare's tragedies It seems that the boys can't get across their messages any more without the as sistance of Incidental atmospher ic background or whatever you may call lt music Most of it never would be missed The financial angle Is this Mu sicians have to be hired to play the music and they do not work for peanuts even if they are called upon only to fiddle a bit here and arum a bit tnere Take the case of of the season just passed It opened to critical acclaim and did excellent business for a time It was in the small theater called The Playhouse where the gross is limited It might still be running were it not for the fact that the leading lady Beatrice Straight wife of the producer Peter Cookson had to depart last month to prepare for motherhood As a husband wife combination operating costs could be adjusted but the salary of a star capable of replacing his wife would throw his budget out of joint Cookson found so he had to' close the show after 141 performances This play by William Archibald had background music ive mu sicians were on the pavroll at roughly $500 a week in all That money well might have meant the difference between getting a star tn carry on and closing the show The play an eerie thing did not need the music It was wonderfully set and lighted so that adequate ghostly effects could be obtained without it Tills musical background fad is a constant source of managerial trouble In recent seasons varl ous plays that used musicians off stage have tangled with the Amer lean ederation of Musicians which cannot be blamed for the situation The union has claimed time and again that what a producer and author have labeled incidental music actually is much more sometimes almost complete scoring of a play So the union which rehearsed a Play with say three men has demanded that six or eight or a dozen must be employed These cases go to arbitration usuallv Bnd seldom does the producer win An additional $500 to $1000 a week for musicians can cancel out the profits of even a healthy pro duction No doubt all of this musical at mosphere Is very artistic but nine times out of 10 It' is unnecessary After all there have been sonie pretty fair playwrights over the years who have managed to write without such Williams and Arthur Miller to the contrary a good dra matic situation properly acted and directed will be enough to hold audiences These two dramatists regarded as leaders of the current crop of stage writers might set a good ex amnle by letting their dialogue and actors do the work as they are supposed to do Enjoy the Week of the in the DANCE MUSIC NOV They're playing dance popular and novelty
