Too bad about the arts funding. In the early 70s, the city used to sponsor Shakespeare in Louisville's Central Park, free to the public. What a great way to spend a Summer evening it was. The down side of the "free" side of it was that you would get a lot of local kids hanging around, talking, wrestling, shouting, etc. I recall seeing Julius Caesar, and Victor Jory had a role in it. At one point, when he was not in the scene, he came out to stand in the audience, resplendent in toga and olive garland. A group of kids were cutting up, and Jory turned, pointed at them and intoned in his powerful stage bass voice "You people quiet down NOW!" They stifled as quickly if they had been clubbed.
