Three plays by Shakespeare
and a new Canadian drama are
scheduled for the 1961 Stratford
Shakespearean Festival, Michael
Langham, artistic director, an-
nounces.
The three Shakespearean
plays chosen for the ninth sea-
son, which will extend from
June 19 to Sept. 23-14 weeks,
the longest undertaken to date
—are "Coriolanus," "Love's La-
bour's Lost," and "Henry VIII."
Langham will direct the first
two himself, with decor by
Tanya Moiseiwitsch. "Henry
VIII" will be staged by George
McCowan who, in 1959, co-
directed (with Jean Gascon)
the Festival's production of
"Othello." It will be designed
by Brian Jackson.
Langham pointed out that
while the 1960 festival is de-
voted to "young Shakespeare,"
the one in 1961 will include a
comedy, a tragedy and a his-
tory from beginning, middle and
end of the playwright's career.
"Love's Labour Lost" is of the
same vintage as "Romeo and
Juliet" and "A Midsummer
Night's Dream." "Coriolanus"
was written during his mature
years. "Henry VIII" is accepted
by most historians as his last
play.
The new Canadian drama,
which will also be seen in the
Festival Theater, is "To the
Canvas Barricade," by Donald
Jack, of Oakville, Ont., first
prize-winner in the recent
Stratford Festival - Toronto
Globe and Mail play-writing
competition. It will be included
in the Festival Theater's reper-
toire over a period of four
weeks.
Langham has secured the
services of Paul Scofield, one of
England's top classical actors,
to play the title role in "Corio-
lanus" and Don Armado in
`Love's Labour's Lost."

CIES," Detroit's own smash hit,

for the coming season. With in-
novations completed for its first
showing at the Michigan State
Fair on Old Timers' Day, Sept.
8, 2,000 are expected to crowd
the bandstand area. Produced

troit, this fantasy owes its popu-
larity to sparkling period music.

Starring Gertrude Berg and
Cedric Hardwicke, "A Majority
of One," the Broadway comedy
hit of the past two seasons, ar-
rives at the Shubert Theater,
Monday, Sept.
5, for three
weeks, under
sponsorship of
the Theater
Guild and Dore
Schary. The
comedy comes
to the Shubert
direct from
Broadway
where it broke
records and Gertrude Berg
ran for 558 performances. It
marks the second managerial af,
filiation of Schary and the
Theater Guild. Their first was
Schary's dramatic hit, "Sun-
rise at Campobello," the story
of Franklin D. Roosevelt's fight
against polio. The play centers on
the chance meeting of a middle-
aged widow from Brooklyn and
a wealthy Japanese while both
are en route by ship to Tokyo.
They meet as enemies but soon
find many things in common,
and romance flowers as the
widow, Mrs. Jacoby, visits the
Japanese Kolchi Asano.

Judge Sentences 'Nazi' to Write Essay on Jew

NEW YORK, (JTA)—A 17-
year-old youth held here for at-
tempting to organize a Nazi-
style movement, which was to
engage in terrorism against
Jews, was given a choice by a
judge here to either go to jail or
write an essay on a famous
American of Jewish origin. He
will have to submit the essay
to the judge not later than Nov.
23.
The youthful defendant, Rich-
ard E. Phelps, was arrested last
January with two other youths
who are scheduled for trial on
Sept. • 29. The police found
in the home of one of them a
supply of swastika bands, Nazi
marching songs and anti-Semi-
tic literature. Judge James Ran-
dall Creel, in sentencing Phelps
to a reformatory but suspending
the sentence when the young de-
fendant accepted the literary as-

great." Judge Creel said that he
ordered the essay assignment
instead of the prison term be-
cause he felt the youth had
joined the movement "more for
companionship than anything
else."
