'CATHERINE'

By JOHN LUFF

"CATHERINE,” a play wsit- ton for radio, was the second play to be contributed by Radio Hongkong, as their contribution to the Festival of Arts.

I suppose that a Festival of Arts is the place to experiment, providing that you have already

gained a public informed in the tradition of the Briush stage, but with cur steadily declining standard in all forms of drama, I should have pre- fered to have heard an establish- ed play with a wider appeal to

the radio listeners,

The bridge between what is called popular append and the - Bris, is not to wide that it cannot be bridged by a few well selected dramas, but until we form a drama appreciating Public again, we shall go from bad to worse.

This is the Causo of our downfall. We have too many amateurs walking around under the delusion of their OWN adequacy to Instinctively in- terpret the arts without serving apprenticeship.

The way to the arts is a straight and narrow path, and tow will pay the price to wulk

Mr Williams has this lesson The radio is a yet to learn, form of drama that relies on the ear alone, and the ear is an extremely unreliable instru- ment. It picks up sounds and continually misinterprets them; it turns a water wheel into a running tap; the squeal of a brake into a farm yard; and so Only with the spoken word can it be trusted.
