Top Production:
'Mary Off Scotland'
Called Howell's Best
By ELLIE GUILLIATT
As Elizabeth says in the last scene
of "Mary of Scotland," "it is not
what happened that is true, but
what men believe . . ." and this I
think is keen perception on the
part of the playwright Maxwell An
derson, and on that quotation I
base this criticism.
As for what "happened" last
night, a wonderful thing happened,
a play was (presented as a play
should be presented with sen
sitivity, with artistry, and with a
spirit of theatre which was not a
wraith but a living being from the
opening curtain to the final call!
As for what I believe, I sincerely
believe that this is one of the
finest plays I have ever had the
pleasure of seeing during my uni
versity career, and the best play
that has yet been done on Howell
Theatre stage.
It would be an injustice to de
vote this- column to the trifling
weaknesses I saw in the face of the
whole, and I must admit, moving
production of "Mary." So allow
me to rave The most outstand
ing character of the play was Eliz
abeth, played by Bonna T e b o.
Here was the virgin queen, with
all her brilliance, all her regal,
polished treacherousness, all her
hollow triumph. Miss Tebo com
manded the stage in every one
of her scenes with a marvelous
understanding and portrayal of her
role.
Mary was played beautifully by
Joey Margolin, who gave the au
dience a many faceted, womanly
queen, a queen full of tenderness
and vitality; she made us feel
the wretchness of enforced deposi
tion and the final victory of integ
ity. Jack Parris brought us a Both
well "full of sound and fury," he
filled his scenes with suppressed
violence, and brought to the stage
a character animmted with en
ergy, complimentin ; the more gen
tle Mary.
John Knox, th s fire-breathing
Scottish prophet, was admirably
portrayed by Gerald Carlson. With
a voice that wailed like bitter high
land winds, he threw his vitupera
tions at Mary, and though he be
gan with intensity, and never once
slackened, I firmly believed there
was always more energy, always
a slightly higher pitch for him to
reach, if he needed it.

'MARY' LEADS . . .
I could go on naming each mem
ber of the cast, for each in his
own way contributed to the over
all picture of the play, but it is
enough to say that if I had twenty
one roses, I would gladly give one
to each member.
The sets are fine, fine in the
most artistic sense of the term,
the lighting equally beautiful. In
short, here is a play worth see
ing, here is an example of theatre
which rises above "educational"
theatre, here is a production of
such stuff as critics' dreams are
made on.

fine teacher and a proven fine
singer," Foltz said." We needed
a man who could work in tbe up

charge of all of the dramatic act
ing there. Lishner is exceptionally
capable in all these respects."
Foltz described Lishner as "a
personable young man and an
absolutely top-flight singer the
best quality professor we could
possibly get."
Lishner was on the University
campus for a few days, Foltz said.
He sang for a faculty committee
and for Dr. Westbrook. Everyone
was most enthusiastic about him,
Foltz added. Tbe faculty was most
cooperative in providing a salary
which would attract him, he said.
Asked why, at tbe peak of his
singing career, he would want to
give it up to teach in a university,
Lishner told Dr. Foltz that teach
ing had always been bis major am
bition.
j "I want to pass on the things that
I have learned in my work to
young men and women," he said.
"I want to do it while I am at my
peak and can do it well not after
wards, when I have become a has
been." Dr. Foltz said that Lishner would
be off the campus occasionally "
each year to appear in major per-
formances, so that be would not be !
in complete retirement from ac-!
tive performance.
"I cannot stress enough the val
uable addition to the staff that
Lishner will be. He is presently at
the peak of his career and extra
ordinarily fortunate to interest him
in a teaching position," Foltz said.
Professor Comments:
Demotion Of Dr. Mitchell
'One Example' Says Moore
Dr. Donald Moore, whose resignation as professor of physics and
chairman of the department, was accepted by the Board of Regents
Saturday, has issued a press release for The Nebraskan concerning tht
question of academic freedom and outside pressures at the University.
Moore's resignation was announced April 18. He said he was
leaving the University because "greater research and salary oppor
tunities" were available in private industry.
Moore has accepted a job in industrial research for an eastern firm.
Moore said that the demotion of Dr. Clyde Mitchell was "but one
example" of the University's unconcern with the free enterprise of
ideas.
Mitchell, who is in Rome on a Fulbright Lectureship, is expected
to comment soon on his demotion.
Moore's Statement
"Perhaps it is because I am both a native of the state and an
alumnus of the University, but I find myself concerned about tha
direction in which our University of Nebraska is moving.
I have reluctantly come to the conclusion that the present ad
ministration of our University is not concerned with the free enter
prise of ideas at either the level of the departmental chairman or
of the individual staff member.
The demotion of Dr. Mitchell is but one example. There is a
clear impression of a conflict between integrity and expediency.
He who doubts that outside pressure influenced the Mitchell de
motion ought to read, side by side, the public statements of Regent
Welsh, the Hall County Farm Bureau, and the series of conflicting
statements which have been issued by the administration of tbe
University.
The succession of events is such that it will now be next to
impossible for the present administration to build a strong De
partment of Agricultural Economics, and all problems of staff pro
curement are seriously aggravated."
