They love travellers with the exception of germans and Roll out the Welcome mat whenever they get an Opportunity which is often. But. Before plunging into the life of Copenhagen and having a Good look at the Tivoli amusement Park which is the most famous organisation of its kind in the world. 1 travelled out to Elsinore to see Hamlet per formed in the Castle in which the play was supposed to take place. This was a singular stroke of Luck on my part because i thought that the old Vic company headed by Richard Burton Claire Bloom and Fay comp ton had left. Kronborg Castle stands about 20 or 25 Miles from Copenhagen with the sea at its Side and Shakespeare used it As the setting for one of the in test some say the greatest of his plays. The Danes for this reason feel a suf. Of proprietary interest in the playwright the Hamlet festival has been a part of every season since except during the Ocee Patk a. Ing such artists As sir Laurence Olivier and i Ien Leigh a Chance to per form on historic ground in surroundings that give an eerie atmosphere to the drama. Almost Gay air however if you Are pre pared to approach Elsinore by Tram Amir or Only atmospheric conditions you Are disappointed. I Don t know what the Elsinore country was like in Shakespeare s Lime but today it has almost i Kun air. You ride through wooded Countryside with the Trees almost brushing your Tram and with the sea Only a tone s throw away. Happy excursion lists ride the train getting off at various Points along the line where they e summer cottages. The prelude to Hamlet at Elsinore. Therefore would be More suitable to a Midsummer night s dream or As you like it. Get off at Elsi Nore with the pilgrims who Are making this tour to one of Shakespeare s shrines and you Are in a seaport town that has some of the aspects of the grim tragedy nevertheless for Kronborg Eastle towers in the distance from the hotel. And.

Free standing some 20 or 35 Miles from Copenhagen is grim appearing Kronborg Castle by the sea in Elsinore. Because Shakespeare used the Castle As the setting or one of the greatest of his plays the danish people now use it As an historic museum with open air performances of Hamlet in the cast courtyard. Free press movie critic Frank Morriss during his visit to Denmark saw a performance of the great tragedy by the old Vic com Pany of London. The occasion begins to assert itself. This indeed is a Castle that is haunted by tragedy you feel Anil the scudding dark Clouds that have formed in the Early evening add to the atmosphere. You must accustom your self however to hot dog stands and soft drink Booths that have been in stalled within the portals of the caste for the convenience of travellers who Haven t had time to take a meal before catching the train. The great Square court Yard which serves As the theatre for the play is filled with benches. Those with posteriors not Able to stand the Rigours of three hours of shakespearian tragedy with out the cushioning of a Pillow can buy them the same As we Purchase cushions for our football and hockey games. But i am bound to say that this performing of Hamlet in ancient and appropriate surroundings is in the nature of a stunt. Hamlet is a play Hen on great gothic lines of course and it needs to be Given spacious ant Nobel treatment. 11 however fashioned with regard to the theatre and in open spaces where scenery has to be makeshift and actors have to Strain to get their voices across in difficult acoustical circumstances this is Well nigh impossible. As Light fades the play begins at when it is still Light and it is almost impossible to catch the mood and plenty of the words arc lost. Nevertheless. As the Light fades and the lighting has a Chance to As Sert itself you surrender yourself to the atmosphere. The great grim outlines of the Castle stretching around you the occasional Hoot of a great freighter in the Ocean nearby All play their part. Under the circumstances it is not fair to say very much about the performance of the old Vic company from Lon Don. I talked to Richard Burton for a few moments after the performance and he said he was up against an almost impossible task. I can quite be Lieve him. To seemed How Ever that at the present time he has Hen out a service Able and impassioned por trayal of the title role. To is deeply Felt intelligently Given but it lacks the real inner glow. If or. Burton works hard for the next few years he can become one of the most distinguished of British actors the feeling persists however that Claire Bloom. Who plays Ophelia is a great actress in the making. She of All the pla3 ers sent the most magic across the courtyard and in the mad scene almost impossible to do under the circumstances she provided the most moving moment of the whole evening. Richard Burton wanted to he remembered to All the friends he made in Winnipeg when he took his air Force training there during the War particularly to or. Digby Wheeler and mrs. Wheeler. Here is a Fine and sincere Young actor who has spurned Hollywood Gold to take an exhaustive Job of playing the classics with the old Vic at a salary that is nominal.
