"English Artists' Minds Are Intellectual Deserts"
CHRISTCHURCH, Mar.ch if. "I oonsider' the large majority of English actors are artisticaily degenerate maijily because they have been badiy trained and educated," said Frederick Farley, who has ,arrived from London to be produce!' for the Canterbury Repertor-y Theatre Society. "Their min'ds are intellectual deserts and anything .sayouring of ari is a suspeet with I them," he eontinued. "They have very little intellectual, artistie or
rcultural background and without it they cann.pt aspire to the fullheights of 'their profesision." Mr. Farley .said that the English actor could be charged with lapk of .standards, lack of faith and lack of real vocation and even if he had these he would always have to ep'/i- ' tend with fhe "jungle-like" system ;of-the English theatre where everybody was at each other's fhroats; and where ah actor, to suryiye, must take care of himself first, last and all the time.
