as a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a 1 1 1 1 1 WAY OF THE WORLD THE legendary Vietnamese Defence Minister, Gen. Giap, victor of Dien Bien Phu and hero of the Vietnam War, is reported to have drawn up the plans for the brilliant campaign in which Vietnamese forces overran Cambodia in a few days. Who else? He must be well over a hundred by now, but with a first-class military brain still unclouded by time. How would Giap have done against other legendary military commanders Hannibal, Alexander, Julius Caesar, Genghis Wallenstein, Napoleon, Moltke?" We shall never know, though there may be war-games in the purgatory in which ch Giap, for one, does not believe. Incidentally, though concerned about the fate of Pol Pot, I cannot see that the Vietdia is necessaation a bad thing, namese of it does not go any further.

The people Cambodia, whom applied truly made pre-eminent among the 66 wretched of the earth (its own parrot phrase), may even be slightly better off. We should not deluded by. our Western leaders' present flirtation with Communist China into forgetting that the Cambodian Communists, China's creatures, were the first to take Communism to its ultimate and logical conclusion by using a whole nation for a pitiless social and economic experiment. Even Stalin could not achieve that, for all his efforts in the Ukraine. The Georgian monster reigned over a people which was, and still is.

less tractable because it is deeply and incorrigibly religious. Horror Giap Was Here firmed and believers I are in con- all things magical. We have just had our first telephone installed and would like to dedicate it to an appropriate deity or being. Who would be the patron of telephones? We have had all sorts of ideas but cannot agree, so can you help us out?

BE 1943. Concert Purcell Room Songmakers' Almanac By ALAN BLYTH ONE of the pleasures of the ever more popular Songmakers' Almanac series is the discovery of rarely heard masterpieces. Last night the group's moving spirit, Graham Johnson, had routed out a short piece called merely 66 Gipsy Song," by Busoni, to crown first, half of a long programme entirely devoted to the inspiration derived by poets and composers from gipsies. It deserves to be ranked with the best of Hugo Wolf, whose music it so much resembled. This vital setting of a Goethe text fantasy in a wolfinfested forest calls for just the intensity Richard Jackson brought to it.

The piano part, fiendishly difficult, was given a bravura performance by Mr Johnson himself. After the interval he gave himself an even. more difficult task in Janacek's 66 Diary of One who Vanished," again he met the challenge head-on in giving virile support to Philip Langridge's wholehearted account of the youth who is seduced from calm family life by the wiles and attractions of a gipsy girl. In all but the last song, which calls for a heroic strength Mr Langridge's tenor doesn't possess. he met the fearsome demands of Janacek's impassioned writing.

Ann Murray took the of the girl with seductive timbre. Earlier she coned well with the less rewarding task of interpreting an atmosoheric but rather rambling setting of Ben Jonson's Gipsy Songs by Stephen Dodgson. For the rest it was the more familiar fare of List, Brahms and Dvorak. in whose songs Miriam Bowen was notable for taut, spirited readings.

A shy, lonely all too obviously innocent young lady's companion meets and rather incredibly marries the rich, recently widowed, slightly mysterious Maxim all in the space of a few languid, sun-drenched days in the South of France. It is not until the scene shifts to the harsher contours of the Cornish landscape and settles among the dark corridors of Manderley, his stately home brooding in the shadows of so many disturbing memories, that the chilling tentacles of the story begin to grip. opening episode of Hugh Whitemore's four-part adaptation gave hardly a hint of what is to follow, concentrating more on the bored, decadent socialites casually stubbing cigarettes in jars of cold cream and the splendours of the Mediterranean scenery generously decorated with the splendid collection of vintage cars. At times he managed to create a certain tenseness in the dialogue, a slight suggestion of unease, and Simon Langton, the director.

deftly embellished these few moments with the odd dramatic shot of the enigmatic Maxim glowering over a cliff as though unsure whether to marry the girl or jump. There is as yet none of the cold, clammy atmosphere that Miss Du Maurier creates so well in her book.

Neil Innes has already established himself as a versatile actor, musician and zany humorist.

The tone is set with his opening song, How Sweet To Be An Idiot." which should be instantly adopted as his signature tune.

He obviously enjoys his idiocy but it is never quite SO lunatic as it might first appear. He can put together some neat, pungent, little lyrics which have right undertones to allow him to mimic Noel Coward. leap straight into a surrealist picture gallery where figures walk out of their frames and then move on to a devastating take-off of the too socially conscious folk singers of the day. Among so much versatility we never discover which is the real Mr Innes. but there are enough facets to him to keep most of of amused for the rest of the series.

Peter Simple OPENS AS ROMANCE Hampstead Theatre Daughters of Men' By JOHN BARBER WITH Judi Dench as heroine, Jennifer Phillips's drama of modern divorce, 6 Daughters of Men," must have provided its audience on Radio 4 with an enjoyable emotional wallow. Transferred to stage at Hampstead, even with so good an actress as Frances De La Tour in the star this very feminine play seems both overexposed and over-filled with succulent little surprises, like a child's party cake served as a main course.

Yet the expert Miss Phillips has created a whale of a part for an actress. Kate, successful career woman, is being torn apart because her husband, who is not contesting their divorce, is insisting on custody of her only and adored child, a girl of ten. To get things going with a bang, the child eavesdrops seen on a steamy exchange between Kate and young lover. Kate is also facing her 40th birthday, and feeling her age. Miss De La Tour, a fascinating belle laide, holds the eve as a woman by turns intelligent, scratchven breathless, alluring with worry.

During the evening she gets the chance to play the perfect mother, the business hostess, and fly at her husband. who wants a reconciliation, and at her best friend, who of course is his mistress.
