 \nObservedA Play  \n# Venus Observed\n\nBY CHRISTOPHER FRY  \nIn Venus Observed,commissioned by SirLaurence Olivier,Christopher Fry turns fromthe youthful eagerness of The Lady's not forBurning to an autumnal mood.'In it,'saysHarold Hobson in the New York Times:Magazine,'a smoothly cultured Duke,lightlycynical and witty,but with few embers ofromance in his heart,enters into a gracefuland not too strenuous rivalry with his son forthe love of the pretty daughter of his delightfulbut dishonest bailif.Over these delicate emo-tions,Mr.Fry performs a breath-taking verbaldance.'The new play shows a developingsense of dramatic action,with no lessening ofthe author's characteristic richness of imageryand surging eloquence.  \nChristopher Fry,who now holds a uniqueplace in the contemporary theater and dra-matic literature,has demonstrated that poetrypreserves its force as a universal language一significant,important,and immensely enjoy-able —whether it is heard in the theater orread for recreation or for study.Though Mr.Fry is a writer of plays with a serious meta-physical content,his invaluable achievementconsists in the long-needed reinstatement ofthe comic spirit in English poetic drama.  \npi  \nolsnj looc  \n3od3 M  \nrtbno fo  \n19vo oly  \nbs pnolo  \nrtiw slood  \nooolqoud  \np airt ni bo  \nd ot aqp  \n0O  \nY9A8au  \nYM,su  \n图  \nfign'tno*  \n·  PR  \n601l  \nR9  \nV4
