...sport coat and slacks, Defense Secretary Neil Hosier McElroy emerged from the three-day supersecret conference of top U.S. military leaders at Quantico, Va. last week with a word for reporters. He had nothing much to say about clamping down on interservice rivalry, nor about the decision that he must eventually, some day, take on what ground-to-air missiles the U.S. will deploy to defend itself. Instead Secretary McElroy noted that five of the.U.S.'s Atlas "operational" intercontinental missiles had failed in consecutive test firings, announced that Atlas would be delayed for "not less than 60 days," while...
...continue his feuding in a succession of interviews in the foreign press. To a Scripps-Howard reporter, he patronized U.S. Secretary of State Christian Herter's performance at Geneva ("Dulles would have patched up [the Allied rifts] quicker"), opined that Britain's Prime Minister Harold Macmillan must be persuaded that "when one belongs to an alliance, he must give up some views of his own." But he reserved the roughest treatment of all for his much-abused Vice Chancellor, Ludwig Erhard. To CBS, Adenauer confided that he planned to stay in office as Chancellor through the 1961 elections...
Much of the credit must go to director Ellis Rabb, who has joined the company for the first time. Rabb is one of the finest Shakespearean actors anywhere; though still a very young man, he has had more Shakespearean experience than most veterans, and is one of a handful who can boast of having acted in all thirty-seven of the Bard's plays. But this is the first time I have been able to appraise his skill as a director...
...Romeo marks his first traversal of a long, serious part for the Festival; and there is no reason to expect it to be definitive yet. He clearly has a fine Romeo within him, though. His diction is clear. He has no trouble making Romeo young enough--and young he must be: Romeo matures a little during the play's course, but he never does become a man. At present, however, Easton's Romeo is not enough in love--either with Juliet or with the words he speaks...
...biggest disappointment is the Mercutio of William Smithers, who has proven himself a good actor elsewhere. Here he is a total failure; and much of the blame must fall on director Landau. Not for nothing does Mercutio share five letters with Mercury; but there is nothing mercurial about Smithers' performance. Mercutio is an airy, sparkling, zestful, witty chap; Smithers is none of these. Too bad, for the role is so rich that it bids fair to top that of Romeo himself--wherefore Shakespeare had to kill him off on two counts...
