...Benson's rele, Neil Powell, achieves the high level of the other two performances as does Robin Ladd, as the general's WAC accrotary and Robort Layzer as a newspaper man. Benson, like Masters, has committee one error, but even more than Masters, he needs desperately to have the general's benediction on his integrity. Both Men find it hard to believe the general is real, but both find it easy to believe in him. He is an ideal which they must protect from any corruption, in order that the general may be able to remain a salvaged weapon...
Those who performed last night are indeed lightfingered. Robert Layzer brings a rich expressive voice to the role of Cuchalain. He is at his best in On Baile's Strand, which sees the hero inadvertently murder his son, then go mad battling vainly against the sea. In this, the second of the four plays, Richard Eder is also outstanding as he crafty sightless man, who like Ireland's High King Conchubar both fears and mocks Cuchalain. Chris Beels plays the king. In this and also as the old man in At the Hawk's Well, both his speech and acting...

The meter he choses (unconsciously or not) contributes powerfully to his thoughts on imponderable nature, giving balance and clearness to the total meaning. Tending towards obscurity, Robert Layzer presents a tribute to She Voyages which becomes entangled in odd grammar and unconnected images. Regrettably, he is unable to control some highly imaginative metaphors. What Winifred Hare means to imply in her caption, Song for Two People on Three Instruments, I will not venture to guess. Regardless of what she refers to, her piece creates...
Three student poets will red from their own work today. In a new series, designed as a student counterpart to the Morris Gray poetry readings, the Advocate will present Robert Layzer '53, James Chace '53, and Janet Parker, Wellesley...
