By BRUCE COLE
Broad-chested, bearded Chart-
ton Heston characterized Macbeth
as the noblest of all Shakespeare's
characters.
He said Macbeth. starts on a
higher plane than the other char-
acters. He is in his prime of life
and he is king of Scotland. Hamlet'
is young, untried and indecisive;
Lear is in his dotage; but Macbeth
has the knowledge and experience
of his position.
"Another factor which elevates
Macbeth is that he falls with a
fuller knowledge of what he has
done. Othello is goaded on by Iago-
and Lear has internal whims," he
said.
Macbeth admits he knows his
deed and what will happen to him
as a result. He is destroyed by the
degree to which he is swayed by
his wife.
"It is this realization that makes
Macbeth's fall so tragic," he added.
The witches are portrayed as

incarnations of evil without hu-
man form to get away' from the
haggly-scraggly Halloween variety,
he commented.
"I feel this new way of presenta-
tion means more to the audience.
Remember, Shakespeare purposely
created his witches as witches be-
cause the play was written not for
the Globe Theatre, but for Hamp-
ton Courts before King James VI.
"King James was very much inter-
ested in witchcraft and he was
also descended from Banquo."
Familiar with Macbeth'
This is the fourth time Heston
has played Macbeth. He has acted
In several other Shakespearian
plays including "The Tempest,"
"Anthony and Cleopatra" and
"Julius Caesar."
He noted the difference between
acting on the stage and in films.
"In a film, you have no concept of
what you are doing nor your com-
plete performance. A great movie
is produced by the director only."
Heston said that seeing the film
of each day's work is very im-
portant for the actor to observe
his weak points and consequently,
improve himself."
Stage Holds Greater Challenge
The stage, however, offers a
greater challenge since "you are
on your own. You create the part
and there is no 'retakes.' Also you
have to be conscious of your pro-
jection and general stage presence
because there is no second time,"
he said.
Speaking of one of 'his greatest
roles, that of Moses in "The Ten
Commandments," Heston pointed
out the satisfaction of the motion
picture media which the stage
could not possibly give.
"One of the greatest experiences
of my life, if not the greatest, was
the opportunity for me to stand
barefoot on the slopes of Mt.Sinai,
in the same place where Moses was
supposed to have stood."
Reveals Hardest Part
He said the most difficult part
of the filming for him was coming
down from Sinai with the decal-
ogue and having to become divine-
ly enraged so that "I could throw
down the tablets upon thosewho
were sinning about the golden
calf."
Heston described Moses as a
great leader for all three major
faiths. Consequently, one of the
hardest tasks was to portray the
meaning of Moses for all faiths'
and not offend anyone.
"Judaism considers Moses a
great leader and teacher who actu-
ally spoke with God and received
His divine law. Muslims regard,
Moses as the first great prophetI
and Christianity recognizes Moses;
not only as a person who led a7
people from bondage, but as the
giver of laws for allhumanity."
Therefore, he noted, criticism
such as the mention of the coming
of the deliverer in the first part of
the film, although there is no men-
tion of this in the Pentateuch,
must be both given and accepted
with the thought that Moses is an
international figure accepted by
more than one group.
Discusses Criticism
"As for criticism, one can't
please everyone The most impor-
tant thing is to know that you
reached the standards you set up
for yourself. You make your stand-
ards; other people do not 'make
them for you." ,
Speaking of the late Cecil B.
DeMille, Heston, after a pause,
revealed "I owe more to Mr.'De-
Mille than to any other person. He1
s a living legend and a very
unique man who not only made
unusual pictures, but knew how to
make a picture great and how to
bringout the best In his actor,"
he said.
Finally, stretching his six-foot.
plus frame fully in his chair, Hes-
ton dissuaded anyone who wanted
to go on the stage since "it is a
very hard life and very few are
fortunate to make a name for
themselves."

Decline Here

for trained engineers and scientists
ever known in this country."
Deans and presidents replying to
the survey questionnaires put the
primary blame for the decline on a
"false appraisal" of an engineer's
long-range career opportunities.
Parents, students, high school
guidance counselors and press re-
ports "of alleged large-scale lay-
offs of engineers in various indus-
tries" during the 1957-58 recession
are responsible for this misconcep-
tion, they said.
Lists Another Reason
A second main reason was in-
creased concern about the rigors
of an engineering curriculum. Un-
fortunately, the report said, it ap-
pears that there exists an unnec-
essarily harsh evaluation of the
demands on engineering students,
principally by those providing
basic counseling.
Sound science backgrounds and
"effort generally exceeding those
of many other collegiate pursuits"
are required, the report continued,
but a "realistic appraisal -of engi-
neering's challenge would serve to
motivate good students."
The deans agreed, for a third
cause of the decline, that there
has been a marked increase in
student interest in other scientific
fields.
Explains Survey Prediction
"It's impossible to predict why
those students who aren't here
aren't," Emmons said. "The ex-
planations of the national survey
are sufficient."
This decline, the first noted 1n
eight years, was originally re-
ported by the United States Office
of Education. Federal manpower
experts predict a shortage of 9,000
engineers per year for the next
decade.
The recent survey was conducted
by the Engineering Manpower
Commission of the Engineers Joint
Council and the American Society
for Engineering Education.
