POPE TO WALK A Harry Butler LINE FINE joins camp N ASIA
VATICAN CITY — As last-minute preparations are made for Pope John Paul II's visit to the Philippines next week (February 17-22) observers believe that on the strength of past trips he will walk a fine line between political involvement and gospel-based social commentary He has already sidestepped an earlier attempt by Mrs. Imelda Marocs, the President's wife, to turn the tour to her public advantage. The tour has been delayed for over twelve months as a result.
Father Jegorow has a way with Harry Butler, thirty lucky children (one of whom, Shelly Wilkie, is pictured with him) found out at Miami at Star of the Sea camp last week. Mr Butler had at first turned down the invitation saying that he could reach millions in one television appearance. But Father Jegorow won the day for his Inner City campers who have a holiday at the expense of the East Perth Rotary Club. Presentation Sisters Kevin Monaham and Catherine Ryan and trainee teacher Mr Matthew Faulkner supervised the children. Six years ago the annual camp started with an invitation by Father Jegorow, then at St Mary's Cathedral, to any child he met in East Perth, and Rotary and other benefactors have backed the project ever since.
pie: Publish accurate news V ATICAN CITY (NC) — Pope John Paul ll has called for accurate, objective and uncensored distribution of news.
" Without 'good information' there is no exercise of responsibility, for the responsible freedom of humanity depends on accurate understanding and a new coordination of information throughout the world," said the pope during a special audience with the Foreign Press Association of Italy. The pope prayed that accurate news would circulate throughout the world "withtit exception or limitation of any kind, without one-sided interpretations." He quoted Pope Pius XII on responsible freedom: "Certainly a first postulate of such freedom is to have access to the truth." Pope John Paul quoted Pope Paul VI in warning against political control or ideologically motivated slanting of the news: ."Defend always and everywhere the just rights and true freedom of persons, !ithout engaging in discriminatory partiality, as unfortunately happens by reason of ..4,1e political regimes in question or of personal choices that make us sensitive only to victims whose ideas or convictions we share." The pontiff also warned the press that journalistic freedom "is not synonymous with licence." „ Your readers have the right to count on you, on your sense of responsibility, on ,‘011Iplete faithfulness to all that which gives honour to your profession: objectivity, i Yalty and wise thoughtfulness in the presentation of the news, without ever losing iight of the possible consequences for your readership and the demands of society's `rue good," he said.

"If I were the pope, I'd look at my 'diocese,' which is the world, and I'd look to the East, to Asia, where more than half the world's population lives," said Jose Guerrero, third secretary of the Filipino Embassy to the Holy See. "And then I'd notice that 70 percent of all the Catholics in Asia live on a small archipelago of less than 120,000 square miles, and I'd say, "What can this country do, not so much in terms of making converts but to witness to the Christian Faith," Guerrero added. "I'd congratulate them on what they've done and then I'd give them a symbol of their witness like this martyr, Lorenzo Ruiz," he said. Pope John Paul has linked his Far East visit to the beatification of Ruiz, a Filipino layman killed for the faith in Nagasaki, Japan, on September 29, 1637. On February 18, during a ceremony at Rizal Park in Manila, Ruiz will become first Filipino to be beatified. Fifteen others martyred in Nagasaki between 1633 and 1637 — nine Japanese, four Spaniards, an Italian and a Frenchman will also be proclaimed blessed. "In Brazil, for example, the pope talked clear and straight to the civil authorities, telling them about their responsibilities based on his own vision of man and society and the State," Guerrero continued. "He told them to reject anything that is not worthy of freeedom and the human rights of people." Pope John Paul is scheduled next Friday to visit Tondo, Manila's notorious waterfront slum district. "Cardinal Sin has insisted that the pope see the seamy side of life in Manila, against the wishes of the government," said a Filipino priest in Rome. He said the slums were created when the poor were evicted from their homes to make way for highways under Imelda Marcos' Beautification programme. "If Imelda had her way, the pope would have a grand triumphal tour of her charities and anything disturbing would be kept in the background," he added. Guerrero, the Filipino diplomat, disagreed, saying the government wants to show off a model project in the country's "depressed area" which combines self-help with world bank aid. (See also Page 2.)

Pope heads East for second visit
JAPAN
PHILIPPINES
Where atom bomb fell
Many tribes From the Columban missionary magazine Far East
VATICAN CITY — "I hope that Japan will be able to move from being an economic giant to also become a spiritual giant," Pope John Paul II told Japanese journalists last week as he prepared for his first Asian journey, to Japan and the Phillippines.
Out of the mists of ancient time they come, the children of the sun, the people of the Philippines. It is said their roots go back some quarter of a million years on these lush islands of the far Pacific whose very names sing with the music that fills their soul. Little or nothing is known about those prehistoric tribes who may have come across the land bridges that once connected the Philippines to the Asian mainland. But it is known that the Filipino of today is basically of Malay stock, with traces of Indian, Chinese, and Spanish Blood in him. He speaks in a bewildering variety of languages and dialects — some 80 of them. And perhaps because he lives somewhat separated from his fellows on one of 7,000 islands of the Philippines his culture and his customs, as well as his language, may differ to some degree. There is no doubt about the distinction of the Negritos the "little people". They were once all nomads of the forest but some are now living in settlements and striving to cope with the not unmixed blessing of modern civilisation. There are the mountain tribes of the north who built the fabulous rice terraces, called the eighth wonder of the world, and are still fiercely determined to defend their homes against all corners. There are the Muslims of the south, whose God is Allah, and who are still fighting for self-rule. There are the Tasadays, a very small primitive tribe who until very recently lived unknown and undisturbed for untold generations .in their mountain fastness on Mindano Island. But whatever their language, whatever their origins, the people of the Philippines are truly children of the sun - smiling, friendly, warm, trusting. They believe people are important, not possessions. They find their happiness and joy in the things that unite them to other people. They find security with others; they do not like to stand alone. They cannot forget a service or a favour given; they must repay it, not because it's their duty, but because it gives them joy and satisfaction. A debt paid, a favour returned, brings them closer to their friends. . . and to their families too. • They're famous for their tightly knit family . . . for the respect children show their parents . . . for the love and care given to the old. They are a patient people too; they know how to wait. But that does not mean they will not fight when occasion demands. They took on even mightly America when US troops moved in at the turn of the century . . .many of them went to the hills and carried on unrelenting guerilla warfare against the Japanese to help those same Americans during World War II. They did not passively accept the nearly 400 years of Spanish role. They rose in rebellion more than 200 times. It didn't matter that they failed repeatedly. They kept on trying. In this lush and verdant tropical land, it is difficult to believe that so many are poor, so many do not get enough to eat. It's not because they don't work hard — they do, often at back-breaking tasks. But too many of them can't find even the worst jobs or a small plot of land to farm. It is little wonder, then, that they identify 2

The banner oroclaims: "Think what will happen to our children if their livelihood is taken a way." so closely with the suffering Christ — and with Our Lady of Sorrows. Yes, these people of the Philippines are Christian in their very souls, In fact, the only thing they accepted wholeheartedly from their Spanish conquerors was their religion. With some 85 per cent of them Catholics, their proudest boast is that theirs is the only Christian nation in Asia — and they dream that one day they will be instrumental in making Christ a living reality all over that vast continent. It was to these people that the Columban Fathers came just a half century ago — only a few of them, quietly and without fanfare. Their promise to the people they came to serve was a simple one — to do what they could as best they could for as long as they were needed. The need was evident. Ever since the Spanish friars departed, the Philippines was desperately short of priests. Too many people in too many places never even saw a priest. The faith was in danger of disappearing altogether in many areas. A few couldn't do much, but gradually others came until the Columbans are now by far the largest missionary group in the Philippines. Other missioners came too, to help the slowly growing body of dedicated local Bishops and priests.

Bible Society coup in India The Indian town of Sonepur is the site for an annual pilgrimage of more than one million Hindus who come to wash away their sins in the river Ganges. Hindus believe the cleansing from sin and freedom from evil are available to all who bathe at the sacred spot when the moon is full on the Anniversay day. The Bible Society in India saw this occasion as a rare opportunity for a massive distribution of Christian Scriptures at a religious event. A team of volunteers distributed New Readers, Portions and Selection in the crowded streets at the Sonepur Mela. However, within three days all supplies of Bible selection had run out. The volunteers returned home after five days because nearly all Bible supplies were exhausted. Indian Bible Society officials reported that a variety of four free Selection totalling more than 660,000 were distributed at the Mela.
"Economic development is a sign , of the possibility that Japan could become just as strong spiritually", he added. In Japan the Pope will be making his first visit to a highly industrialised nation that is predominantly non-christian — less than one migion out of 100 million are Christians. In Tokyo he will encounter the world's largest city of 15 million people. He will stand in atom-scarred cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the latter the heart of Catholic Japan for centuries. Speaking of the visit to Hiroshima Pope John Paul said that he would stand on "the site on which terrible destructive force of the atomic bomb was first manifested, in order to "beg the merciful God that this will never again be repeated in the history of humanity." At Nagasaki the-pope will visit victims of the bombing at a Catholic hospital and ordain a group of priests at the Urakami cathedral, rebuilt after the original church was destroyed by the bomb. Other events in Nagasaki will include a visit to a monastery founded by a Blessed Maximilian Kolbe, a Polish Franciscan killed in a German concentration camp, and the celebration of an outdoor Mass which will include several adult baptisms and first communions. Because of what one observer calls "the intellectual curiosity and the native courtesy" of the Japanese, large crowds are expected to greet the man they call "Papasama" (honourable pope) throughout the visit. But Pope John Paul is not likely to be treated as just another foreign visitor. Many political personalities from other nations have visited our country — the American president, the Chinese Prime Minister etc, said Takao Tokuoka, a Romebased Japanese journalist. "But all of them have talked about the economy," he said. "This will be the first time that someone comes who is not linked to economic interests."

The Dancers Were Rocked
Since popes Piave proved too often to have their fair share of this life's human weaknesses Catholics developed the commendable practice of holding before a newly elected pontiff a smoking flax to remind him of his mortal end. It would not be a bad idea to start holding some smoking reeds in front of the pop heroes who hold the world's stage ever so forcefully but briefly and who one by one are also proving to be mortal. John Lennon may have been lucky as well as tragically unfortunate. The gun of a mad assassin caused him to have a brief immortal accolade as candles were held in vigil over him and the era he symbolised. This week another star waned and it is unlikely that fans' candles will burn before an image that had lost its glow and been forgotten by the time he died a recluse in Texas at the age of 55. Bill WHO? they will ask irreverently wondering why Bill Haley of all, people should get a place in the religious echo chambers of pop music. Haley's place in the development of music between 1952 and 1962 is now well established. He was a definite bridge between beat styles of the black culture and white sentimentality that had passed its day. He soon had respectable people using the rock and roll euphemism that had much naughtier significance from the naughty New Orleans era whence sprang the jazz giants.
HAVE YOUR SiVi, By Herman Dorlandt, Ashfield
Sir, I was pleased to hear my wife read that those with sight -handicap are not forgotten, and that Archbishop Goody has taped his special pastoral message for the International Year of the Disabled Person,
I fervently hope that this might mark the beginning of a new apostolate to the 'print handicapped' because I know, we who are visually impaired would probably make up a substantial number. However, there are at least two other types of disabled people who cannot use the printed word. Firstly those, who, for a variety of reasons, have literacy problems. I do not mean those mentally slow or retarded, but those who missed out on a proper basic education. The second group I am thinking of are those who physically find it impOssible to hold a book or turn pages.
I know that a Perth radio station cater for all "print-handicapped".
Therefore, if the church wants to bui up the faith amongst its peoples, and alk let the Christian message be known inth secular World, the print-handicap should not be excluded. "The Record" is more or less beyold the reach of those who cannot read tit printed word. Reflections and disciii. sions on readings of the Word of God art denied us. Please remember, then, tht forgotten disability — the "print handi capped". Christ did say "Preach the good news to all nations".

The Adelaide Saint Francis Xavier Seminary, where many future West Australian priests train, is to inthoduce a new programme to integrate pastoral parish training with the traditional seminary curriculum.
Father Gerald Scott (pictured above), Vincentian, former rector of St. Charles' seminary and now in charge at Adelaide said that the seminary staff was pleased with the pastoral initiative being taken. "I am extremely happy with the spirit at St. Francis
Xavier; we are better organised academically and I am impressed with the spirit, attitude and quality of the students," he said in Perth en route to the Geraldton ordination. He said that it needed to be appreciated that the new twosemester pastoral training programme was not simply following what others had done but was breaking new ground. "It is not only a seminary idea, but the suggestion of students themselves," he said. "It is very important to have experience in order to make a life commitment. The young man of today must know to what he is dedicating his life." Part of the new programme's goal would be to convince older priests of its needs since they had not undergone such a style of training, Father Scott said.
The proposed programme will allocate two semesters in a six-year course to specific practical pastoral training. "The key is the priest The key to the programme will be much supervisor who understands the emphasis of closer supervision of the theology and spirituality trainees by priests specially taught in the seminary and chosen for the task.

Increasingly aware of the need to gain professional competence in teaching religion eighty people have attended Claremont Teachers College's summer workshops programme on the Old Testament and Key Themes in Christian Thought. City and country teachers and religious Brothers and Sisters from as far north as Derby are currently taking part in lecture and discussion groups at both graduate and undergraduate levels. Though the workshops are open to any denomination, they are aimed at helping Catholics examine the content of religious education and understand the changes
•
which have taken place in methodology. The summer session is also part of a new relationship forged between the college and the Catholic Pastoral Institute. The Graduate Diploma in Religious Education with a special stream in Catholic tertiary studies will begin in 1981 with further plans to include external studies at a later date.

CSC MI Leo John Graham was born in Boulder and educated at op.> algoorlie. K , At the age of 14 in 1929, just as the Depression was gathering momentuma he came to Perth to look for a job and -- largely through the good offices of employment in the friend of his brother Jim — he was fortunate to secure shoe department of Foy and Gibson. It was the start of a 47-year career during which the store had three owners and he rose to the position of associate director. ifferent d He developed expertise in a broad spectrum of merchandising and promowas tion rough fashions and most of the company's wares, but footwear interest. of sphere neve '3r removed from his He ,'tired in 1976 but he is now kept busy as secretary of the Wembley Elovv 11 Club. Leo and his wife Kath (nee McGovern) — she was an outstanding tennis player and as a bowler skippered a winning State triples combination — are mertibers of St. Joseph's parish at Subiaco. Their daughter Margaret (Mrs. Whitford) works at Centrecare.
The dispatch section was the usual starting point for a youngster beginning work with Foy and Gibson in 1929, but Leo Graham was appointed straight away to the footwear department as a junior assistant. Why this occurred he is at a loss to know, but it was an initiation he never regretted.
Leo Graham Shoes, working boots, bowls One of his first memories of the footwear department was the big stock of men's working boots carried. Perhaps it was an indication of the high proportion of the maie population then engaged on labouring and agricultural jobs. These avocations must have suffered a decline after the war because by then the vast array of working boots had all but disappeared. That post-war period marked what in Leo's opinion was one of the greatest steps forward in footwear (it's hard to step forward in anything but footwear). This was the introduction of fractional fittings in shoes, which was welcomed by men but was particularly beneficial to longsuffering women who had endured all sorts of discomforts over the years in the sacred name of fashion.
The incidence of bunions and other foot complaints dropped dramatically with the arrival of fractional fittings. For some time after the war, Leo says, stores could obtain footwear only on a limited quota basis. But oddly enough when the 1952 recession descended, all varieties of footwear became freely available from the manufacturers. Of such developments is cynicism bred. Cox Bros. took Foys over in 1955, and in 1959 Leo was made an associate director. In 1964 there was another move on the big business chessboard and David Jones took over from Cox Bros, which had fallen by the Reid-Murray wayside. The years after his elevation to associate directorship marked for Leo a substantial broadening in the scope of his activities and an acquisition of knowledge of all aspects of the business. To quote just one example, he had a lot to do with organising the stock for the Garden City development at Booragoon.
Today's People A weekly feature When he retired in 1976 after 47 years, he was the company's longest-serving employee. Looking back to his beginnings in the organisation, he feels that the three worst of the Depression years were the best and toughest training he could have had. "You had to be right on the ball to keep your job," he recollects, "and therefore you got a good knowledge of your work in a hurry. "I was on twelve shillings and sixpence a week and, with other employees, had to take periodical standowns of a week or a fortnight at a time — so you learnt to be careful with money, too." One of the warmest recollections of his business years is the number of friends he made, and still has, in the Eastern States capitals. Leo's first association with bowling was when he became a foundation member of the Wembley club in 1959. He started playing pennants for the club in 1963 and has played regular pennants ever since.
'..With special concern.' LISBON, Portugal (NC) — A pastoral letter of the Portuguese bishops said that divorced Catholics who remarried could not receive the sacraments but that the church should tend to them "with special concern and charity."
By BOB BOYLE This was not his first venture into the sporting arena because for years he had played matting cricket with Foys, Highgate and the CYMS and tennis with the Catholic Lawn Tennis Association. And every winter since 1930 he has followed the football fortunes of East Perth. He became secretary of the Wembley Bowling Club on his retirement in 1976 and it has provided him with a great interest. "Our main aim is to make the club worth coming down to and to provide a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere," he says. "We have 536 members, an increase of about 200 in two years resulting largely from things such as membership drives and coaching clinics we have conducted. "The future of the club depends on younger people, and they are fast coming back to live in the Wembley area. "So we are trying to make this club, with its beautiful location on the shores of Lake Monger, as attractive as possible to young people."

Carter: 'Songs are like the gospels'

Well-known religious folk song writer Sydney Carter can be heard on Encounter at 8 am on Sunday, February 15.
"Folk songs and Christianity fall into the same category," he said. "Looking for what Jesus actually said and did is like looking for the original version of an ancient ballad.
The four Gospels are like four variants. By the time they started to be written down the folk process had already got to work. "You cannot keep a live tradition down - it will go on sprouting new interpretations which, if you do not like them, you can call heresies. "Songs are like the gospels, and any singer worth the name will keep on reaching for the song behind the song. You can call that going back or going forward. "To interpret, you must recreate."

An adventure series filmed on locations here
The series has both high adventure for children and strong characterisation of the Fnlourful personalities who live on the island. The mood is a blend of warmth, colour, excitement and adventure. The central characters, Jock Dixon (Justin Hollyock) and Paul and Kate Ellery (Greg Duffy and Francesca Shoesmith) are schoolchildren who live on an island somewhere off the coast of Western Australia. The friendly, sleepy community is plunged into a controversy over the introduction of sandmining to the island. The conflict rages between the economic benefits of sandmining to the community and the possible damage to the wreck of a Dutch galleon said to be located on a reef in Dutchman's Bay.

The Belljet Ranger 201 is a big, fast machine able to whisk a team to a news scene quickly.
The children provide the happy resolution to the conflict by discovering the wreck in a different locale, allowing both the economic development to take place and the island's heritage to be preserved. The only unhappy person on the island is Jack Brady (Alan Cassell), whose land is not purchased by the sandmining company and whose dreams of wealth are quashed by the children's discovery of the wreck. The sandmining begins. Maritime museum personnel start the exploration and retrieval of the wreck of the Golden Falcon and Jack Brady turns his hand to another shady means to fast wealth. Jack teams up with Reg Madden (Bill Kerr), the owner of the museum boat,and an old crony, Mike Jarvis (Barrie Barkla), to smuggle gold out of Australia. The gold comes from the Eastern Goldfields and is smuggled out in night-time rendezvous with Hong Kong black market agents.

The three youngsters mistakenly believe Brady's strange activities to be involved in stealing artifacts from the wreck of the Golden Falcon. Their suspicions are given substance when Vim Van Doren (Bevan Lee), a young fisherman who has been their constant friend and ally, is seriously beaten up on the beach when he witnesses a night rendezvous. The children attempt to trap Brady, follow him after a ball and discover the plans for a major shipment from Falcon Island. Jock, Paul and Kate are accidentally trapped in a vast subterannean maze of tunnels which they think Brady and cohorts are using. It is an adventure story filmed on location in WA at such sites as Garden Island, Fremantle and Mandurah. With a budget of $500,000, Falcon Island is the biggest production of its kind to be attempted in this State.

Mother of priest and seminarian came from Ceylon When we first came to Perth we lived in Mt. Hawthorn and went to Mass at St. Mary's Church in Leederville. By a curious turn of fate Tony preached his first sermon after his ordination as a priest in this very St. Mary's Church at Leederville that he had attended as a child although we had long since moved from the parish. " Now his young brother Peter has just started his studies for the priesthood. He worked for six years with his father and brother John at the Swan Portland Cement works at Rivervale. During his holidays Tony worked there too as well as at the St. John of God Hospital in Subiaco. The girls, Mary Anne and Josephine, are both teachers. Josephine is teaching where she received her education at the Santa Clara Catholic Primary School in Bentley and she recently gained her Diploma of Religious Education with honours. For the past seven years Mary Anne (Mrs Bowler) has been teaching at the State primary school at South Kalgoorlie but she has given it up to devote her time to her family. Our eldest son David is married with three sons and working in Karratha, and Terry works with the Medical Department in Perth. Terry, who is on the parish council, and Peter are both acolytes in the Bentley parish. All the boys went to school at Castledare and Clontarf. * * * About five years ago I started to develop a backyard nursery to grow and sell plants, mainly for sale at the Castledare and Clontarf fetes and to raise funds for parish projects. When strangers began to knock at our front door wanting to buy plants, I was mystified. Then I found that without my knowledge David had put an advertisement in the newspaper "because • * mother was too shy to do it", as he explained to his * brothers and sisters.
Mrs Mary Pires (nee Scudamore) was born in Ceylon four months after her mother had arrived there from England. After having received her education at the Good Shepherd and Holy Family convents she taught at a small school in Ceylon for five years before her marriage in 1948 to Gerard Pires whose eldest brother is a priest now in his eighties. Four years after their marriage the couple came to Perth when their eldest son David was four years old and Tony, now Father Pires, was five months. They have lived in Bentley for 25 years and the number of children has grown to two daughters and five sons. Mary has been a catechist at the Bentley State Primary School for the past 15 years in addition to having been engaged in a number of other parish activities. I have a big variety of shadehouse and patio plants. Some are distributed at the annual parish pensioners' party that Father Petry runs and others are sold at various functions to raise money for the parish. Another parish activity in which I am engaged, and this is possibly fairly unusual, is the making of unleavened bread for Father Petry to distribute as Communion. I am only one of several women in the parish who do this. * * * I have thoroughly enjoyed my 15 years as a catechist at the Bentley State Primary School, but there is now the threat that we may not be able to carry on at the school for much longer due to a policy change on the teaching of religion in State schools. I have always been keen on art, painting my own Christmas cards for instance, so therefore I do a lot of illustrative art work for my catechist lessons. The main problem is that the lessons last only halfan-hour, which isn't much time to fit a lot into.

Prayer together, in which we open ourselves to the action of the Holy Spirit, is an ecumenical priority.,
CHARISMATIC Oa ECUMENISM
W111, POUR 01/T" V Y SETRIT
The charismatic renewal is a very special, ecumenical grace because of the meeting-ground it offers Christians who may be strangers to one another, yet are united in the same living faith in the Holy Spirit.
While this convergence is not a monopoly of the Charismatic Renewal, it is certainly one of its most precious benefits. I believe that it is important to set in relief certain major aspects of this convergence, which rests on a common Agreement as to the role and place of the Holy Spirit in the life of the Church and of Christians. Ecumenical dialogue is not a purely human initiative. It is not merely a question of persons of good will in search of an honourable, diplomatic compromise. There is one over-riding consideration: The will of the Triune God. Unity is a gift of God, a grace for which we should beg the Lord together. And, in the words of Cardinal Bea, "The door to unity is entered on our knees." Now, it is only the Spirit who can truly pray in us, and only He can bring us the real depths of prayer and cause us to say "in the name of Jesus" as Christians should, that is, together.
This is . the last of two , articles by Cardinal Suenens, the former primate of Belgium, a leader in the Catholic Charismatic Renewal. It is from the London Catholic publication The Universe.

Is Mozart WHAT'S ON God's sick joke. Vocation 'Not THE Wolfgang Mozart, not the composer of MY favourite opera' visitors to the Playhouse currently will mutter to themselves in the enthralling presentation of Amadeus.
They will be watching Amadeus Mozart only nervously out of the corner of their eye while a complete nobody Antonio Salieri holds centrestage weaving his own biographical murder mystery without a solution. There is really no murder and not much mystery because two centuries later the 1980 audience with its hi-fl shelves stacked with Mozart recordings knows that the hero is alive and Salieri dead to the world. Actor Robert van Mackelenberg can therefore proceed with quiet reassurance from the audience as he masterfully becomes a foil to Salieri in a quite demanding revelation of that fragile, unpredictable, awkward and questionably vulgar composer genius that was in a pauper's grave at the age of 35. Meanwhile Edgar Metcalfs Salieri becomes a tour de force in what is v irtually a two hour monologue
14
exposition of his anguished soul. By the end it does not matter whether Salieri killed Mozart in fact or in effect. Author Shaffer's device of throwing the action into Salieri's introspection becomes a dramatic pun on Mozart's name Theophilus (Ama-Deus, Loved by God). Is it true, he surmises, that God really does love the man, and not the good steady living respectable stock of tasteful and dedicated lives? He is not the first to have asked that question in jealous frustration. Perth's Festival audiences are given a memorable production with baroque pastel figures flowing back and forth on the stage as a human backdrop to the agony unfolding in front of them. The lucky theatregoers will be even better served if they take in a short Salieri opera before the Wednesday and Saturday performances.
