September 10, 1992 Grosse Pointe News Entertainment 98 Much ado about the Bard From McLean, Va . Durmg hIS 25 years of life, our son has made three major moves _ from the plush enclaves of Grosse Pomte to the rugged splendors of Greenbush and now to Foggy Bottom m Washmgton, DC. For three weeks he has bravely survIved hfe m an un. furmshed apartment After much frUitless dIckermg With our local movmg firms, we finally receIved the message _ no commItment avaIlable _ and we decided to seIZe the di lemma by Its horns. Consequently, a Ryder van became our clumsy charlOt for two long days and a night, over the tWIsting hIlls and dales of southern MichIgan, mto OhlO, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Wash mgton, DC, and at last, VIrgIma Not only was our despall'lng son and hell' relieved to see us, but he also was very happy to receIve his belongIngs: furmture, kitchen utenSils, and SIXhuge boxes of books. After the tedious busmess of unpackmg and putting away agreed to give hIS "bookaholIc" mother a real treat the next mother a real treat the next day m the form of a visit to The Folger Shakespeare LIbrary right in the heart of Washmgton The Folger, a strikmg white marble edifice, is situated across the street from the Jefferson Building, the oldest part of the Library of Congress. Mr. and Mrs Henry Clay Folger gave theIr Shakespearean collection to the American people 60 years ago In 1932 in this GrecIan-style bUIldIng. WhIle a young student at Amherst College, Folger was fortUItously inspired by a Ralph Waldo Emerson lecture to buy an inexpensive set of Shakespeare's works. This simple purchase marked the beginning of a great collection, amazing m Its range and variety, which now consists of approximately 280,000 books and manuscripts, plus paintings, drawings, engravings and prmts. Also, there are many mUSIcal instruments, costumes, and films whIch reflect that golden Renaissance era InCIdentally, this incomparable treasure is admInistered by the trustees of Amherst College, Folger's alma mater. Typical of their thoughtful concern, Mrs Folger insisted the frieze, a horizontal band of carvmgs around a wall, be placed at eye-level rather than at the usual spot near the top of the buIldIng. As a result, BIBLIO;-FILE Autumn color display expected on schedule By Elizabeth P. Walker bhnd people as well as children can feel the sculptured figures The GeorgIan-style facade IS decorated with nme bas-rehefs depICtIng scenes from Shakespeare's plays Outdoors there IS a small, charmmg garden featurmg herbs and flowers of the kInd grown durIng the Bard's tIme The east lawn also has several comfortable benches under spreading trees which prOVIde shade and a retreat for qUIet meditation At the west end there IS a statue of Puck preSid- Ing over a pool and a fountain InsIde there IS a wee ElIZabethan theater complete with three-tiered gallery, carved oak columns, and topped with a canopIed celhng - all remInIScent of an Innyard theater of Shakespeare's age Displayed in all ItS glory m the magnificent Great Hall IS the excellent exhibit of fine and hlstonc bookbindmgs from The Folger. Heading the exhibIt, as a magnIficent centerpIece, IS the FIrst Folio, the 1623 collection of Shakespeare's work. It was a thrilling mtroduction to what was to follow - 15th century bindings on Incunabula, bindmgs from the reign of Queen Ehzabeth I, bmdings from the Restoration, vellum bmdIngs of the 16th and 17th centunes, lovely embroidered and velvet bindings, fore-edge paintIngs, various clasps and ties from the 15th-18th centunes, and bIndings from the reign of Queen Anne to King George III. To see all these books m so many types of bindings makes one admire the unsung crafts men who created such artistic and protective covers. We noted{ of course, that all of the~ gorgeous tDtIfacts were owned by royalty, noblemen, and other personages of wealth and influence. ObVIously, books were cherished iteIns to be guarded and adorned. From a "bookaholic's" pomt of view, I believe that we should take good care of those books we have and WIsh to keep far Into the future. It was mspll'lng for me to visit The Folger and to see how Mr. and Mrs. Folger made It pOSSIblefor generations of Amencans to share and enjoy the richness of the Shakespearean legacy.

Cool weather may have dampened plans of Michiganders who thnve on summer, but fall color buffs should enJoy a spectacular vlewmg season, accordmg to AAA MIChIgan "People ale already gettmg excited because of reports that Upper PenInsula trees were changIng color In early August," said AAA MichIgan member servICes dIrector Peter Enckson. "WhIle that may be true m Isolated areas, the tradl tIonal fall color season is still on target to begIn m mId-Sep tember "Weather conditions m early September largely determIne the success of the fall color display," he saId "If we have bl'lght sunny days and cool mghts, we can expect a good show.
