Lectures
On Grail,
-Literature
By ROBERT FARRELL
Prof. Urban T. Holmes yesterday
disputed the accepted method of
identifying unknown authors in
his lecture on "Twelfth Century
France and the Holy Grail."
In his lecture, Prof. Holmes,
Kenan Professor of Romance Phi-
lology at the University of North
Carolina, this year visiting profes-
sor at Michigan State University,
discussed Chretien de Troyes, un-
identified medieval French com-
piler of Authurian romances.
He said that rather than use the
common method of identifying an
author strictly from his works and
any chance evidence that may be
in one's possession, he would ap-
proach the problem of identifica-
tion and discuss the works of
Chretien, from the effect of the
"reality" of the times on the
author and his works.
Warns Researchers
He admonished' investigators not
to "just sit around and talk about
Troyes or Chretien de Troyes when
you've never seen the place."
He said that in spite of "much
talk about 'lay poets'," Chretien'
showed knowledge that indicated
he was probably a clerk in a local
cathedral.%
He also mentioned the problem
of dating Chretien's poems, but
attempted to place them as be-
ginning in the early 1150's by
reference to Marie de Champagne
with whom Chretien was in love.
Places Works
He then cited evidence support-
ing his dating and placing of
Chretien. This evidence included
comparisons of the career of Hen-
ri, Chretien's patron, and his
works, in which he found certain
similarities
p~rof. Holmes also pointed out
that one of the "burning questions
of the time and area" was that of
the conversion of the Jews.
He then cited evidence recently
published showing that the pro-
cession of the Holy Grail used in
Chretien's work on Percival might
have evolved from a motif used
to represent the ultimate suprem-
acy of the Christian Church.
To close, he named "Dominus
Chretianus," a clerk at the local
cathedral,'as a likely candidate for
being Chretien.

The. Laboratory Bill's produc-
tion of W.S. Gilbert's "Rosen-
crantz and Guildenstern" 4 p.m.
today at the Trueblood Auditori-
um will provide "another widen-
ing dramatic experience for stu-
dents to expose their talents be-
fore a live audience," Allen
Schreiber, '61, play director, said
recently.
Schreiber, who originally select-
ed the play, a take-off on Shakes-
peare's Hamlet', noted that Gil-
bert's parody "spoofs the acting
conventions of the nineteenth
century."
"It is particularly aimed at the
overblown system of gestures of
the two leading actors of the
period, Henry Irving ahd Sir Her-
bert Beerbohm Tree," he related.
The playwright accomplishes
his humorous ends by portraying
Hamlet as a vain, conceited and
self-centered fool who sits in a
cor er reciting soliloquies, revel-
ing his moroseness, Schrieber
said.
Claudius is depicted as pompous
and vain; Gertrude is an over-,
weight, matronly butterfly, and

Ophelia's actions resemble those
of a physical education teacher.
"Rosencrantz and Guildenstern"
is an example of the Laboratory
Bill's policy of trying to turn up
the unusua1l, worthwhile, yet often
forgotten one act plays, Prof. Wil-
liam Halstead, faculty advisor for
the production, commented.
Last semester 142 students par-
ticipated in the Laboratory Bill
productions as actors, designers,
directors, make-up (technicians
and stage crewmen, the profes-
sor noted. This semester, the 10
weekly one-act productions are
again expected to utilize a, large
number of students.
Albert Katz, Laboratory Bill co-
ordinator, said the large number
of one-acts, as compared to the
limited number of major produc-
tions, permits experimenting with
new ideas in set design, lighting,
interpretation, and makeup.
"Since there is no admis-
sion charge, we do not have to
cater to popular demand when
choosing our playwrights," he
added.

They just got married this
morning. Where will they sleep
tonight? It hadn't crossed their
minds. What will they do for
money? They hadn't thought
of it. Are they in lone? Oh yes.
Violently. Passionately.
What's in their future? Lone-
liness and tragedy. Who is to
blame? YOU! No social prob-
lem in America today is more
frightening than the rapid
rise in teen marriages. No
family is exempt. from the
bitter consequences. The cur-
rent issue of McCall's tells
why teen-agers marry, why
their marriages fail, how to
avoid premature marriages or
save them when they become
a reality. Now, today, read-
the incredible, documented
facts in November McCall's.
