PERSONAL INTERVIEWS University of Michigan -Daily-Richard Bracken REALISM'S DECLINE-Looking over a collection of theatre art, Prof. William Halstead has predicted a return to the classical, conventional styles of playwriting. Halstead Predicts Atrophy Of Realistic Theatre Trend IL {: By JUDITH DONER (EDITOR'S NOTE: This is the sec- ond in a series on the persons in- volved in the production of speech department plays.) Prof. William Halstead is of the opinion that realism as a theatre technique has just about run its course. The silver-haired, articulate speech department director ac- knowledged that "people are still writing in the realistic vein and will continue to do so for many decades, but there is a definite movement back to classical, con- ventional, stylized playwriting." When any art style has reached its peak and its possibilities have been exhausted, people move on to other things and there is often a violent reaction against it, he reported. Past Inspires "In most arts, this change comes out of a renewed inspira- tion of the past. The first at- tempts may result in imitation, but eventually the new spirit of the time alters it until you have something new," Prof. Halstead, declared. He held that one can only guess what will be picked out of the past to form the future pat- Sizes 5-15. l I APRIL 14and 15 Call placement office for appointment Job Application and Passports 24-HOuR SERVICE ** Michigan Theatre Bldg. 521 East Liberty '' : a The Adjutant General, Department of the Army, AGMP R Washington 25, D. C. tern of modern plays. "So far as theatre is concerned, until new playwrights come along, we have to go back to the classics." There is ample justification for this reactionary movement so far as Prof. Halstead is concerned. "Presenting the classics informs people of history by lettings them see the old masterpieces/' he in- sisted. Provides Good Training "Further, it is awfully good training for the actor to play the classics," he continued. In a mod- ern play, we are all in the same environment - playwright, actor and audience - so it is relatively easy for us to understand the mo- tivations which the characters are said to possess. "When one relates himself so completely with the character, he doesn't see the difference between himself and the role." He cited the example of a young actor praying a mature part, who ap- proaches love from a young per- son's standpoint. But when an actor plays the classics, he is likely to be struck first by the strangeness, the dif- ference of the part, Prof. Halstead reported. Thinks More Specifically "He will think about the role more specifically than he would in a modern play. Although he may come to the conclusion that the character is somewhat like him- self, he is still more aware that there are differences," he added. Prof. Halstead emphasized that in normal conversation we use only a fraction of our expressive abilities. "With the familiar type of dialogue used in the modern, realistic plays, we tend to get monotonous," he continued. The classical actor knows the audience may have difficulty - in understanding the meaning of the play, Prof. Halstead pointed out. He, himself, may try new techniques in order to get the meaning across. In planning the Playbill, we look at the things available to the Ann Arbor audiences, both on televi- sion and live, Prof. Halstead re- ported. Because so much of what hey can see lies in the modern, realistic vein, we think we con- tribute to the variety by doing'a disproportionately large number of the classics and standards. *: ... __ _ I 11 Properly Squired ...
