Three Good Features
‘| HE week has yielded three NZBS features of interest from 3YC. First was Anthony Armstrong’s play Without Witness. This clever story of "death by misadventure," the plot of which it would be unfair to divulge, was reasonably wel] done, although the part of the suspected wife’s first husband sounded as though read. Next came W. G. Bell’s Oriental Topsy-Turvydom, which briefly contrasted certain oriental customs with our own. White clothes at a funeral or sweets first at a meal are no more difficult to understand than a wake after a funeral or porridge with sugar at breakfast; but to make a roof before the foundations, or for the watchman with his noise to warn the burglar has me quite beaten. That dogs and dolls should be buried with ritual in accordance with Buddhist reverence for existence is no more odd. in the context of Japanese history than the blessing of bombs in the west. Beyond. these two programmes my mind leaps back to the glorious finale to Music Magazine when a juvenile Auckland Orchestra seemed to succeed in defining and articulating the joy of the wind as it billows and twists and turns among the hills.
