Maurice Evans Quotes:

Dr. Zaius: Ah, yes - the young ape with a shovel. I hear you're planning another archeological expedition. Cornelius, a friendly word of warning - as you dig for artifacts, be sure you don't bury your reputation.


Dr. Zaius: You are right, I have always known about man. From the evidence, I believe his wisdom must walk hand and hand with his idiocy. His emotions must rule his brain. He must be a warlike creature who gives battle to everything around him, even himself.


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."

Maurice Evans Facts
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.

First name properly pronounced "Morris" (the traditional English pronunciation of "Maurice"). In "Bewitched" (1964), in which his character shares his Christian name (but is pronounced in the American manner), Agnes Moorehead on at least one occasion slips and pronounces his name "Morris".

His 1945 production of "Hamlet" was the longest-running Broadway production of the play, until surpassed by Richard Burton's 1964 revival.
