Mercutio, who bears the weight of the play upon his shoulders, is played by John Parker. He makes a valiant try, perhaps too valiant, for most of his energy seems undirected and wasted. And something must be done about his braying, villainous laugh. I know that rough edges are inevitable in a production cast almost entirely from one House but it is nonetheless a pity that one of them had to be Benvolio (Donald Scharfe).

Fleeting Smile. Summoning the defendants to stand shoulder to shoulder in the glass-walled dock, the Lord Chief Justice, Lord Parker, in quiet, emotionless tones condemned them to a total of 95 years in prison. Lord Parker dealt first with the ''directing mind" of the ring, jowly Gordon Lonsdale, 38-who smiled fleetingly when the judge described him as "clearly a professional spy." Lonsdale's true identity is still unknown, but he is certainly a Russian and a Soviet intelligence agent. His claim to be a Canadian taken to Finland by his mother...
