* * NBC -TV NEWS * * STUDENT -CRITICS COMMEND TELEVISION PRODUCTION OP 'MACBETH' IN LETTERS TO MAURICE EVANS More than 200 students of English at Revere High School in Revere, Mass., have written letters to Maurice Evans complimenting him and his co-star, Judith Anderson, for his production of "Macbeth" on NBC -TV's HALLMARK HALL OP FAME in a two -hour compatible color pro¬ duction on NBC-TV Sunday, Nov. 28. The letters were noteworthy for the keenness of their criticism and the appreciation evidenced in viewing an outstanding production of a play by William Shakespeare. The majority of the students seemed most impressed with Evans 1 "Is this a dagger which I see before me..." and his "Tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow..." soliloquies. Miss Anderson's celebrated sleep-walking scene as Lady Macbeth was voted the highlight of her performance . Nevertheless, several of the amateur critics included mild reservations along with their accolades. The male students wished there had been less poetry and more gore during the climactic duel scene in which Macbeth is undone. One felt cheated because Macbeth's severed head was not held up to public view in color. Majority opinion was summed up in the paraphrased words of a young correspondent who exhorted Mr. Evans: "If acting be the food of love, act on. . . " o NBC -New York, 12/9/54
