15rrture bg Gxlagtnn 31-Ianultnn The members oi the high school gaxe Clayton Hamilton close attention for an hour when he spoke at length on the subject Edmond Rostand and the French Modern Drama in the school auditorium on September 28 1932 The address of this celebrated author and critic was for the most part a comparison of three actors in their portrayal of Cyrano de Bergerac but he also talked to some extent on dramatic history Cyrano de Bergerac was xx rrtten in 1897 by Edmond Rostand a native of Paris This young artist xvas a recluse having a passion tor privacy He xx is an arrstocr it and xx as xery wealthy so that he was able to spend a great deal oi money rn order to avoid people He lived in a castle set in a xast estate When the completion of this famous drama was reached news xx as sent to all parts of Europe as well as America The people of America especially were stimulated to a feverish excitement and Edmond Rostand at once became famous Though I xx as only sixteen years old at the time I can still remember clearly the noise that message aroused lt was heard all around the rolling globe that a young Frenchman twenty nine years of ag xxhose name was not knoxxn outside of Paris had written the most entranclng and the most contagious play ever yet shoxvn on the stage at any time the speaker declared ln 1920 an English version of the play was given to American lovers of choice dramas Fhis was written by Brian Hooker after he had been requested to do so by Mr Hamilton and Mr Hampden Mr Hooker made the vivid spir rt of Edmond Rostand accessible for the first time in a quarter of a century to English reading lovers of belles lettres This outstand ing translation conxeys from one language to another the brrskness the eloquence the spontaneity the rapture of the original There ue onlv four of Shakespeare s plays and about six other dramas which Mr Hamilton considers in some way better than this French play However he stated that some of these such as Macbeth the average person xx ould not care to xxrtness often because of the unpleasant mem ories which it leaves whereas Cyrano de Bergerac leaves nothing but joyful and happy reminiscences. Cyrano is a heroic comedy which any type of person can enjoy It has fixe massive acts all of xx hich haxe very extraordinary settings The third act can be compared to the loxe scene in Romeo and Juliet and is said to be ex en more impressive. The leading part has been played by three great actors: Constant Coquelin Richard Mansfield and Walter Hampden. At the present time due to Walter Hampden this delightful play is still as thrillingly alive as it was in 1898. It is to be hoped that Mr. Hampden will keep this piece in his repertory for many years to come. The lecturer also mentioned the plays which Rostand wrote for Sarah Bernhart at her command and said that most of the great plays have been xvritten to order It xx as Coquelin xx ho commanded Rostand to write Cyrano de Ber- gerac enumer ating many qualities which the great French actor said the play must have in order to give him an opportunity to use all his talents Every one who heard Mr. Hamilton is only too anxious to have him return soon again. 0 Fifty nine .
