To those, though, who have been fortunate enough to sample one or more of those invaluable offerings, Apriland in particular the period extending from the ninth through the thirteenth has been a long time in getting here! The above, of course, is the date set for this year’s play, and being one whose hunger for more Payne and Shakespeare collaborations set in immediately after last year’s finished its run, I am reasonably certain that a decade at leastor maybe t w ohas elapsed since then. This year we are to be served that dark dish of Tudor propaganda “Richard III.” My eagerness, which is shared by many both in and within easy reach of Austin, is quite possibly inexplicable to the uninitiated who, having never seen a Payne production, can think of nothing worse than an all-amateur attempt at Shakespeare. And, in fact, I have discovered that these lovely productions defy a stolid technical analysis much as the Sistine Ceiling would a critique based upon an anatomy text. En trances, exits, movement, “business,” dictionnone of these exist as such. You find yourself discovering not a production but a play, brought to life you know not how. When I recall his “Hamlet,” with its majestic allegro flow from murk-enshrouded embattlements to glittering court revels; when I think of his “A Mid Summer Night’s Dream,” with its irrepressible scherzo lightness; when I see once more his “Cyinbeline,” with its final fugal scenewhen all the Payne presentations come to mind, I recall no gimmicks, no innovations, or egregious subjective “interpretations” that indelibly stamp his trademark on the production. If the play belongs to anyone, it appears to be sort of a community property: half-Shakespeare’s, half-mine. It is Mr. Payne’s gift to both of us. THE OBVIOUS PARALLEL is Toscanini \(who, of course, had larities exist between these two grand old men: a long, distinguished career; a devotion to the Harris Green work as written; an uncanny insight into the meaning masked by mere notes or words; an ability to inspire the best in others by their own devotion. There may be some who, quite understandably, fear this goes too far, since, after all, the Maestro’s career was linked with the Metropolitan Opera, La Scala, the New York Philharmonic, and, in his final glorious years, the NBC Symphony. Mr. Payne, though he, too, has worked with the great at the Abbey Theatre, The Shakespeare Memorial Theatre at Stratford-on-Avan, and on Broadway where he staged everything from “Justice,” with Barrymore, to “Hobson’s Choice,” is now at the University of Texas dealing with student actors, which is something else again. Besides, didn’t Beerbohm once write an essay undeniably . entitled “The Invariable Bedness of Amateur Acting”? So, there! Well, we have an entirely different state of affairs existing at the University. The young actors who serve under Mr. Payne come to him after considerable exposure to the teachings of the faculty of drama, a notoriously hard-boiled group whose reticence toward trenchant criticism and the application thereof is almost totally negligible. They have kept him supplied with plenty of eager young talent whose faults have been anything but ignored. ALL OF WHICH brings us right back around to the old gentleman, himself. He is simply to be enjoyed, not analyzed. Who, after all, can trace the influence that he has had in this state, sharing his knowledge with hundreds and revealing beauty to thousands more? Were there an aesthetic equivalent of Dun and Bradstreet to evaluate the true worth of our all too feW cultural assets, Ben Iden Payne would instantly be adjudged a gilt-edged security of the highest preferred stock. We can only be grateful that he continues to pay so many handsome dividends. We can only express our appreciation of him as best we can.
