...historical Banquo was actually an accomplice in the murder of Duncan. In the play he was transmuted into a figure of unswerving loyalty and integrity, thus becoming a foil to the character of Macbeth. Here, as John Devlin plays him, he comes off rather colorless. Ernest Graves' Duncan, though gray-haired, is younger than usual--which is in keeping with Colicos' Macbeth, since the two are first cousins. John Cunningham's Malcolm is crisply spoken, but too priggish for my taste; I almost regret that he does gain the throne...

Sir Patrick Devlin, formerly a judge on Britain's highest court, argues that the distinction between private and public morality is obscure and indefensible. Many U.S. jurists agree, among them New York State Supreme Court Justice Samuel Hofstadter, who believes that "discretion and privacy" cannot make the difference "between a wrongful and a lawful act"-as, for instance, in the case of incest.

...request an evaluation from a person who has himself played the role of Lear. Harold R. Scott '57, an award-winning actor well known in New York and abroad, played Lear professionally to high acclaim at the age of 22--thus following the lead of Britain's famed William Devlin, who first played the role at the same age. Mr. Scott, who was a drama critic for the Summer News in 1959, has recently been playing the leading role in "A Raisin in the Sun" and will appear in Albee's "Tiny Alice" this month...
