I had seen Miss Channing much earlier on the screen, had been only ‘so-so’ impressed, and was not expecting too much, therefore, from the now 74 year old comedienne Nonetheless, | do love a stage show at any time, particularly when I am within almost reaching distance of the performers, and can sée the expression in their eyes. In thiy case, my sense of luckiness was fully justified.

Her voice had always had a ‘gravel-on-wash- board’ quality, but now aging has deepened it by adding a few chunks of concrete. Quite appropriate for the part, however, when she drags out, for comic effect, the name of the male lead—"Horrace Van-derr- gilder™ in a voice that would make Walter Mathau sit up and take notice, It is pure fun She obviously loves her craft and her skills a comic actress were nevermore apparent than when at the end of show she came to the Stage prosceni- um and spoke to the audience of her pleasure at being on tour with the compa- ny, of her plea- Sure at being in the Opera House, of the fine company (and they were indeed, excellent) and of future shows (New York in the fall, then London, Paris, Hong Kong, Australia and others across the world). Then, with that huge grin and merry eyes which came across so vividly from where we sat, she burst out in a self-mocking, indig- nant voice; “Oh, why can't I shut up?” It brought the house down, and she loved it And that is why I so enjoy sit- ting front row centre at stage per- formances for by some kind of magic, one is both a part of the audience and a responsive co-par- ticipant in the show, and every change of expression, every movement, is picked up, sensed and reacted to.
