Fantasy in the Theatre
by David Kishi
GOOD news! The past month has shown quite an increase in films and plays of interest to fans:
     0RSON Welles will produce, direct and star in a screen version of Macbeth for Republic Pictures this Summer, The picture will be done in black and white and with
reasonable economy. It is scheduled: to start in June. Fans who are not familiar with Shakespeare will see the fantasy in this "literate" film, in the form of the ghost of Banquo (a general in the
story), and a few other apparitions.
   ANOTHER Shakespeare item, Hamlet will soon be picturized at J, Arthur Rank's Deham Studios in England, and will be ready for release in late Winter. It will star Laurence Olivier, and Jean Simmons, a new comer. This picturization in all probabilities will be far better than the American film Macbeth. This too contains a few ghosts.
     FERENC Molnar's play Miracle in the Mountains opened' on April 19th at The Playhouse. It is described as a legend and it takes place about a century ago in
the Carpathian Mountains. This
play unfortunately had a short
run of only three shows. However, the play was not discontinued because of the inconcinnity [inconsistency?] of Molnar's writing. The reason being that difficulty arose when there was a change in sponsors.
     LEWIS Carroll's fantasy Alice in Wonderland has finally returned at the International Theatre, under the auspices of Rita Hansan and the American Repertory Theatre. lt is an adoption of both Carroll's Alice in Wonderland and
Through the Looking Glass by Florida Friebus and Eva Le Gallionne. Bambi Linn plays the title role.
     EXPERIMENTAL Theatre, Inc. who have produced many fantasies before are presenting [The]Great Campaign by Arnold Sundgaard. This play incorporates the elements of
dance and music; and concerns a plea for awareness of potential threats to democratic principles in a campaign for Presidency (of
the U. S.) This will run for the
customary five weeks.
