Crumbs from the Table
FELT my ego needed the sustaining parochialism of the ZB Sunday Supplement to counteract the slight feelings of inferiority aroused in me after listening in the morning (March 6) to Jack Dobson’s "Film City"-impressions of a Visit to a Hollywood Film Studio. Certainly Director Henry Costa unbent in an attempt to answer Jack Dobson's question. as to what exactly he was aiming at, and Miss Jean Simmons, asked to give a message to her fans Down Under, replied most graciously that she would love to come down and see us some time. But the general effect was of crumbs from a rich man’s table. By contrast I enjoyed the more egalitarian give-and-take of the local session. Mr. Ogilvie, of the Wellington Archery Club, was much more precise about what his club was aiming at, and I enjoyed having the boot on the other foot when it came to the interview with Lyn BrookeWhite, of the New Zealand Players, whom I may go and see sometime.
