In this latter undertaking he was "great- ly daring," according to The Man- chester Guardian, but he opened the 1930 season before a fairly well-filled house. His leading lady, Miss Mari- on Foreman, was formerly with the Benson Company. "The Merchant of Venice" was Baynton's first offer- ing here this season and Miss Fore- man played the part of Portia. The Guardian says: "In 'The Mer- chant of Venice' Mr. Baynton pre- sents a Shylock much closer to the lines than that of some famous ac- tors, and at least secks to render the medieval antipathy to the Jews intelligible to moderns, who in Eng- land at least have unlearned that bad passion." Henry Baynton's venture in presenting a season of Shakes- peare is thus spoken of by The Guardian: "The venture is intention- ally a challenging one designed to test the demand for Shakespearian drama in the North of England, and on its results much may depend as far as Mr. Baynton's future work in the province is. concerned."
