ONCE IN A GENERATION, there appears a “Macbeth” which becomes a part of the personal history of those who saw it. Such a “Macbeth” was that of Maurice Evans and Judith Anderson at Enge-
It was an experience to tell your grandchildren about, even as you | were told of the “Macbeth” of two | the fact that this drama has en- | joyed a run of 400 years to date, | it is perfectly safe to assume that it will be around a mere two generations hence.
generations ago. And considering
By Fate Confounded “IT WAS MAURICE EVANS who did Macbeth in those days. He was a young man, too, as young as any who interpreted that role, I rec’lect. He showed you a portrait of ambition confounded and double-crossed by fate, he did. “There was Judith Anderson as Lady Macbeth, the full equal of her partner. They were the royal partners of the stage, back in 42, “Sure, they had the witches. You saw them first as shadows on a thin curtain. There they were, squatting by a rock on a wild heath, as Macbeth and Banquo march by. In those days, everybody applauded when the star came on even if it was in the middle of the first act. Don’t ask me why they did it. They just did it. Sure, it was annoying, but what could you do about it. “Well, as I tell you, it was spring and I guess the management thought it might be getting hot, so they let loose a blast of air conditioning on the orchestra seats that made you shiver. Sure, I sat in the orchestra seats. Got a pass, didn’t I? “That cold air—it seemed to me as if it were the wind blowing off the heath. I imagined it that way. It helped the play along, gave it atmosphere. “Staats Cotsworth played Banquo and Herbert Rudley, Macduff. Good, solid performances, they gave, too. The cast that season was superb. # #
A Silent Audience “MR. EVANS AND Miss Anderson were not tall people, but they towered on the stage. In her sleepwalking scene, Miss Anderson brought the audience to a dead silence, including the gentleman behind me who was interpreting the play to the lady next to him. “In those days, we found a comparison in the play to the old dictatorships. The rise of an ambitious man to power by terror, murder and repression. Mr. Evans showed us the naked evil of the dictator. It was important, particularly in ‘42 when we were fighting dictatorship all over the world. “The settings were elaborate. They used background lighting to suggest weather and climate. Every time a gust of air condi« tioning blew on. us, we got the idea of how dank and cold a medieval castle must have been. “There was one young man in the play who distinguished himself. His name was Ernest Graves. He played the porter, a drunken character, one of Shakespeare's

Hoosiers from a 108 Indiana cities packed themselves into hard shirts for the affair and when all had assembled the count was about 3900, including several out-of-state customers. It was a big night at the new Indiana university theater-auditor-ium. No debating that.
Bampton Looks the Part
In full regalia—ballet, orchestra and the top musical stars of the day—the Metropolitan Opera Co. presented that favorite Verdi masterpiece “Aida.” It is a torrid tale of love, intrique and torture a la Egyptian, one of the Met's most popular items for years. Singing the title role was the beautiful Rose Bampton. Like several other romantic stars which you could count of half the fingers of one hand, Miss Bampton has that rare operatic quality of looking her part. She is a willing actress, she isn’t fat and her voice rang out clear and strong through the big house. Across the orchestra pit, wielding the baton, was her husband, Wilfred Pelletier. Though he didn’t spare the orchestra on volume too often, he made the performance roll along smoothly.
Cordon for Pinza
All major roles were filled with artists who would be rather good attractions appearing alone. Bruna Castagna was the vengeful Amneris and Arthur Carron the apex of the love triangle, Radames. But for a wobbly slur in the third act, Mr. Carron delivered himself admirably. He created some lofty expectations with his opening “Lovely Aida” aria and then lived up to them. Leonard Warren had the meaty role of Amonasro, which offers the
comics who are very unfunny unless played well. He had come to Mr. Evans for a job in New York and in his audition, gave a reading from ‘Hamlet’ imitating Mr. Evans’ intonation to the letter. Amused, Mr. Evans had him read something else. The young man did well at that, too, so he joined
| the cast and became the under- | study’s understudy to the minor | part of the porter.
“Both the actor and the first understudy were eliminated from the cast, one by an accident and the other by the draft. So the young man got his chance and he made the most of it. . . . yessir. Those were the days. They played Macbeth with music. They made it alive and real.”

Last night was the first time the Metropolitan ever came to a college campus and the first time to a community the size of Bloomington, Ind. Both of which are things to remember the next time our friends to the east start looking down their noses.—F. P.
