THE AMAZING VERSATILITY

OF NOEL COWARD

NOEL Coward has always held the firm belief that Noel

Coward can do anything. There is still no evidence to the contrary. Now, the suave, 59-year-old Coward, with his wit and his inevitable carnation buttonhole, is talking enthu- siastically about his latest enterprise-his first ballet, London Morning," which, had its premiere in London not long ago..

"How did i come to write a ballet?" he says. "I was feeling returning very emational after

10 England to appear in a charity show at the Palladium

I was just in the right frame of mind."

He forgot to mention that he is two-thirds of the way through a novel, is attending rehearsals of his play, "Look After Lulu," and is also filming.

Versatility Coward's versatility has contemporaries amazed all his since the 1920's, when he first made his name. Some time ago, he applied for a licence duct business in Bermuda. The official legal notice said he pro- posed:

con-

"To carry on the businesses of producers, manufacturers, licen- меня Hicensees, performers, agents, consultants, distributors, renters, printers, proprietors, contractors, exporters, imporic, buyers, sellers, hirers, publish- ers, exhibitors, dealers

In and agents of musical plays, dramas, concerts, songs, lyrics, novels, scenarios, sketches, musical com- positions. motion pictures, radio and television shows

Girl pes- formances, ele."

Through all this, he retains a vaguely sophisticated, though old-fashioned charm, a poised imper- egotism, a steel-plated viousness to criticism, mid a calculated disinterest in change.

For more than 40 years, Noel Coward, has thumbed his nose at the world in rhyme, song and reript.
