Maurice Evans Quotes:

Dr. Zaius: Have you forgotten your scripture, the thirteenth scroll? "And Proteus brought the upright beast into the garden and chained him to a tree and the children did make sport of him."


Dr. Zaius: Dr. Zira, I must caution you. Experimental brain surgery on these creatures is one thing, and I'm all in favor of it. But your behavior studies are another matter. To suggest that we can learn anything about the simian nature from a study of man is sheer nonsense. Why, man is a nuisance. He eats up his food supply in the forest, then migrates to our green belts and ravages our crops. The sooner he is exterminated, the better. It's a question of simian survival.


Dr. Zaius: The Forbidden Zone was once a paradise. Your breed made a desert of it, ages ago.

Maurice Evans Facts
Portrayed Hamlet in five consecutive revivals of the play on Broadway, between 1939 and 1947. Counting up all of his performances, he may well have played the role on Broadway more times than any other actor in history.

Although John Barrymore is still considered the greatest American Shakespearean actor of the 20th century, the British-born Evans was the United States' pre-eminent exponent of Shakespeare from 1936 until 1946, during which he appeared in no less than four successive Broadway productions of "Hamlet", as well as a few of the Bard's other plays.

He probably made more appearances on the "Hallmark Hall of Fame" (a total of eleven) than any other actor, and his record most likely remains unbroken to this day.
