Friday. July 5. 1957 THE SUMMER SCHOOL WEEKLY Paga 3 ''Shoemaker's Holiday' Said An Excellent Production By CORT EDWARDS The Shoemakers Holiday, a delightful comedy which started last night and will continue to- . night at 8:30 o'clock in the Forest Theatre, leads the triple-decker entree by the Playmakers. k As an over-all excellent pro duction, Director Kai Jurgensen has made an almost unbearable comedy into an almost side splitting affair of Elizabethan " slapstick and Ivy-league subtlety. Although the author Mr. Dek- ker undoubtedly turned over in his grave last night, this new pro- ' duction of his play is, we must admit, better and much more en joyable than the original. The play opens with Rowland Lacy, . excellently portrayed by John Whitty, in love with Rose, the Lord Mayor of London's kid. , Rose, adequately characterized by Gloria DiCostanzo, is supposed to be a paragon of virtue and a worthy bride for any gent. However, the Earl of Lincoln, who is Lacy's uncle, disapproves of the match because he consid ers Kose to oe wanton ana, A hence, below the Lacy social class. The Earl sends Lacy to the war in France to break them up and then tries to make a match be tween Rose and Hammon, a well-to-do citizen well portrayed, , though a little fast, by George Spence. The new romance doesn't last long because Rose discovers that Lacy sent his buddy Askew to I , France in his place, and now re- .i . i i i sides in Ljonaon as a snuemaKti s apprentice of Simon Eyre. Letter To Editor: Last week's editorial writer seems to conceive of the U. S. Constitution as a mantle protect ing Americans everywhere from assumed injustice in all foreign jurisdictions. This view of the Constitution has an emotional but not a legal foundation. Some of the statements made in that article were not quite accurate and readers were given only selected unfavorable facts from which to formulate mental answers to the questions posed. Result: An erroneous impression of the effect of the Status of Forces Agreement on the rights of American servicemen abroad. In the first place, our Consti tution is not binding upon the whole world. An American citi zen who enters a foreign country by the mere fact of doing so sub jects himself to the laws of that country and to the possibility of civil and criminal prosecution in its courts. Perhaps it would surprise the author of last week's article to realize that by the Status of Forces Agreement we were not giving foreign countries the right to prosecute American service men for offenses against their laws, but that instead those coun tries were giving us the right to exercise concurrent jurisdiction over servicemen whose acts vio late the laws of both countries. In such cases the U.S. has pri mary jurisdiction if the offense is against its property or personnel or is committed while the offend er is on duty; otherwise the host country has primary jurisdiction. Simon Eyre portrayed by Stephen Laut, who was good but underplayed the role is work ing up from shoemaker to alder man to sheriff to Lord Mayor. His wife, Dame Margery (Marian Rosenzweig) is "a wench with the mealy mouth that will never tire" and is one of the top per formances of the play. Hammon, the rogue, tells Jane Damport, the sweet wife of Ralph, that her husband was killed in battle (which he wasn't) and tries to make time with her. Jane, well characterized by Betty Spence, is almost under his spell when her husband Ralph, well-played by Sam Baker, shows up as one of Simon Eyre's shoe rrfakers. Not to be forgotten are the three outstanding performances by Gene Parsons as Roger, another shoemaker; Phil Fischer as a hunchbacked parasite; and 11-year-old Jimmy Barron as an nouncer, club-wielder and stage hand who changes the play from a two-bell performance to a three-bell production. One of the best performances and one of the worst was, para doxically, done by the same man, Jack Jackson. As the king in Act II he was perfect, but as Askew in Act I he was very poor. Supporting roles which were equally well done are V. A. Mc Neill's role as the Lord Mayor; Hal Williamson as Firk; Donna Hastings as Rose's simpering maid"; John Oetgen as the Earl of Lincoln; and George Stefanou as the Earl of Cornwall. The Editor Either country may waive its primary jurisdiction, but actual practice, the U.S. never does and the host countries often do. The Defense Department has re ported that the Army has secured waivers in about 83 of the cases subject to foreign jurisdiction. The Constitutional rights of a serviceman are not extensive. "Due process of law" guaranteed to civilians by the Fifth Amend ment does not apply. The basic safeguards which a serviceman does have are by Congressional discretion and not by Constitu tional right; and the right to trial by jury is not one which is given to him. When an American serviceman is tried by a foreign court he is protected in many respects. The Status of Forces Agreements en title him: (1) to a prompt and speedy trial; (2) to be informed in advance of the charges against him; (3) to be confronted with witnesses against him; (4) to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor; (5) to have legal representation of his own choice for his defense; (6) to have the services of a competent in terpreter; and (7) to communicate with a representative of his own government. The U.S. will pay for counsel and other expenses incident to representation, which usually includes a lawyer of the foreign country and an American army lawyer. In several matters of criminal procedure, the accused gets a better break in foreign courts than in our own, and punish ments are often less severe.

There are undoubtedly some undesirable aspects of allowing our servicemen to be tried by foreign courts, but under these treaties they are not subjected to a situation which is totally unfair and shocking to our American sense of justice.
