Winnipeg Free Press (Newspaper) - January 26, 1954, Winnipeg, Manitoba Winnipeg free press tuesday january 25, 1954 Page podded Ere other Llyko tin a with Odd at the moment of writing i Haven t heard Graham Suter adjudicate a single play in the regional tests of the Dominion drama festival. But we Are bosom pals foe. Life nevertheless. Or. Suter appeared before a luncheon in his Honor Given in the Hudson s Bay company Din ing room monday afternoon and launched into an attack against pests in theatre audiences. Since i happen to have been waging a one Man Campaign for years against the paper bag Popcorn rustlers chewers neckers talkers and intellectual dead end kids his words of condemnation of audiences Falls sweetly on my ears. Or. Suter is a Good enough actor to describe the rustling of cello Phane and the opening of paper bags with horrendous detail. He is also to be honoured in the an nals of the theatre for going up to the Balcony of a theatre last saturday night and telling the Masticatory and paper bag rustlers to Stop disturbing the actors in fact in the space of a few minutes or. Suter proved to be the most ingratiating person i be listened to in a Long Long while. He approaches his Craft both with respect and sound common sense. He hates the idea of people going to the theatre to be educated and apparently regards it As a place where you Are moved to laughter pity and thrills. That is Why most peo ple go to a movie House or a stage show or a concert. They Don t say i must go out and get some education this even he made no mention in his speech of the living drama he did not Needle the Cinema in fact he has a refreshing Lack the affectations sometimes found in our adjudicators. To top it All he does t like the social Side of the drama festival to interfere with his Job which is helping the actors. So he is giving Short adjudications for the audience and then staying to work with the casts. That s the Way it should be. Hail or. Suter. Decameron nights with a discreet look Over their shoulders at the Cen sors the producers of decameron nights which opened at the gaiety theatre monday have Strung together a Trio of the racy stories that made Boccaccio s Book so popular. There is a great Deal of Atmos phere and color to the movie and there Are knowing performances from Louis Jourdan Joan Fon Taine Binnie Barnes the late Godfrey and others. How Ever the blanketing effect of try ing to pussyfoot around restrictions is Felt almost everywhere. It would have taken such a Tongue in Cheek expert at farce As the late Ernst Lubitsch to have made a real Success of Ecameron nights. Despite the rather tepid Quality of the stories there Are some de Licious touches scattered through out. The final Story in which a libertine is forced to marry a cold woman deserting her at the Church with the seemingly impossible restriction that she will not see him again until she presents him with a son comes closest to catching the racy style. Elsewhere the Charm of the set Tings and the restrained Charm of the acting will give a limited amount of pleasure. The Story has Boccaccio Tak ing Refuge with a group of la Dies when they Are forced to j flee the City during a time of i siege. With his Eye on the Beautiful but staid widow Fiametta Boccaccio mockingly tells a number of stories about Young wives married to older men. The nettled Fiametta constantly finds herself Corn ered by his wit and audacious Charm. As Well As the tale of the wife Eft at the Church the film has a Story about a lady who is captured a bold pirate and another about a faithful Matron who out vits the Man who has besmirched her name. In addition to playing their roles n the real Story miss Fontaine and or. Jourdan Are cast in the yarns that the poet tells. They do very Well indeed. Binnie Barnes s helpful As a worldly countess and or. Tearle one of England s Fine character actors plays the elderly husband. Decameron nights has More sugar that it has spice but it is a pleasant leisurely movie to watch nevertheless.
