Sat 22 Sep 1951 - The Argus (Melbourne, Vic. : 1848 - 1957)
Page 16 - STAGE
* STAGE
- - - By FRANK DOHERTY
Thring following in
father's footsteps
FRANK THRING, son of the late entrepreneur and
early film maker, has taken one more step towards
emulating his father's career.
He has taken over the Mel-
bourne Repertory Theatre. He
has renamed it the Arrow.
Many of you will remember
his father, who pioneered some
of our first talking pictures.
The letters F.T. over the proscenium
at the Princess commemorate his asso-
elation with that theatre.
Young Mr. Thring, who has appeared
lately as the visiting bishop in "See
How They Run," will control the Arrow
Theatre, running it on a subscriber
basis of 10 shows a year, each show to
run three weeks.
This will not, of course, mean the ex-
clusion of the general public.
From mid-October the theatre will be
closed for decoration, opening again
on November 23 with a presentation of
Oscar Wilde's "Salome," to be produced
by Irene Mitchell, of the Little Theatre.
June Brunel will play the title role
and Frank Thring will appear as
Herod.
There is a healthy sign, I feel, in this
co-operation between two theatres. An
exchange of producers and artists can
do much to overcome any tendency to
wards "cliquey-ness" which can, and
sometimes does, creep into amateur
theatre groups, resulting in disparage-
ment of each others' efforts.
There is a move already for Mr.
Thring to return the Little Theatre's
gesture and go back to South Yarra for
another season as Lord Ku in the de-
lightful Chinese fantasy "Enduring Is
the Camphor Tree," by the Australian
Russell Oakes.
One thing I can tell you for certain
about both these productions. Mrs.
Olive Thring, Frank's mother - most
inveterate of all Melbourne first
nighters - will be right in the front
row. And, if I know her, she won't
hesitate to criticise if she thinks it
necessary!
MR. ROBERT HELPMANN, who
used to be known as a ballet
dancer, has taken his undoubted
talents into yet another field. This
time it's singing.
At 40, he has just signed a contract
in London with Columbia to record
some popular songs and ballads - "but
not jazz "
I wonder what sort of ballads they'll
be - Webster Booth stuff like "The
English Rose"? Or rollicking, vigorous
John Challes Thomas stuff like "Open
Road"?
He's versatile all right, this Help-
mann. Without doubt he's the finest
male dancer British countries have pro-
duced. In that field, he's been
choreographer and producer as well, the
glamor boy of Sadler s Wells.
On the stage he played a straight
Hamlet (then danced the Gloomy Dane
in a ballet of his own ci cation), and is
now in "Antony and Cleopatra" with
the Oliviers.
You've seen him dance in films (op-
posite Moira Shearer in "The Red
Shoes"), and you may remember him
as the Bishop of Ely in Olivier's "Henry
V."
One of these days, I suppose, he'll
sign up with Messrs Barnum and
Bailey and Ringling Bros, doing a
tight-rope act in which he and a seal
(trained by himself) will dance a
pas de deux 40 feet up, with no net,
to a noisy Sousa march.
*
ON Tuesday at the Middle Park
Repertory Theatre, the Tana
Company will give its second
Melbourne presentation.
Leila Blake is producing "The Diary
of a Scoundrel," adapted by Rodney
Ackland from a comedy by the Russian
playwright Ostrovsky.
Further performances will be given
on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday.
