Read the passage then choose the correct answer to each question. Circle A, B ,C or D.The play now on at the New Theater as part of the Eastern Arts Festival is not among the best plays for which the director, Army Fielding, has been responsible.The action takes place in the home of Professor Spear. One night his landlady comes to the house for a chat. After inviting her in, the professor hears a sound and thinking it is a burglar coming to rob the house, fires his gun. By mistake the wrong person is shot and the thief gets away. The scene of the second act is a law court, in which everyone waits to find out if the professor is guilty of murder.I did not care for the acting in some cases. Norman Jones is normally seen in some comedies and it is not satisfactory as the professor. He doesn’t look like a wise old man. Also Simon Fry, as the servant, shouted at the top of his voice through the play. The hit of the evening, however, was James Smith as the judge. On the whole, the play appeared to be a little out of date. I can think of many other plays which would have been more suitable for a group of clever young actors to perform. The play continues until the end of the month.
