The play now on at the New Theater as part of the Eastern Arts Festival is not among the best plays for which the director, Army Fielding, has been responsible.The action takes place in the home of Professor Spear One night his landlady comes to the house for a chat After inviting her in, the professor hears a sound and thinking it is a burglar coming to rob the house, fires his gun By mistake the wrong person is shot and the thief gets away The scene of the second act is a law court, in which everyone waits to find out if the professor is guilty of murder

I did not care for the acting in some cases Norman Jones is normally seen in some comedies and it is not satisfactory as the professor He doesn’t look like a wise old man Also Simon Fry, as the servant, shouted at the top of his voice through the play The hit of the evening, however, was James Smith as the judge On the whole, the play appeared to be a little out of date I can think of many other plays which would have been more suitable for a group of clever young actors to perform The play continues until the end of the month

A he made the audience laugh too much B he did not look like a professor

5 Who, among the four following persons, will probably enjoy the play ?

A “I don’t care much for serious subjects I like comedies, especially about the young Norman Jones

is great, so young and lively I like the way he jumps about the stage He can never stand still.” B “I only like going to the theatre when there is something on with a lot of songs Simon Fry is a good

singer I saw him in a show last year I hope he’ll be singing again when I next go to the theater.” C “I really prefer plays with a good story I like to wonder about what to happen in the end I’m a great

fan of James Smith.”

bare stage without any scenery It showed what is wrong with modern society.”

WHAT IS THE BEAUTY IN A PERSON?

When we talk about beauty in people, we often refer to their (5) _attractiveness Of course, a beautiful or handsome face is pleasant to (6) _ But I find that the most memorable ”beautiful people” are those who have good personalities behind their pretty faces

(7) kind of beauty in people that attracts us greatly is what known as the inside beauty People with this kind of beauty have attained inner peace They usually care about their fellow -man, and try to right the justice in this world As you know, Nelson Mandela, Princess Diana and Mother Teresa are well-known for these personalities

In fact, around us, we know many people who are always ready to lend (8) _to people in trouble Many people in our city provide (9) _of floods in Mekong Delta, the disabled or the poor with clothes, money and food Many young go to rural, mountainous or island areas to help people there We greatly admire the beauty of these people because they make the world better This inner beauty gives a certain radiance to their looks
