I remembered standing in the wings when Mother's voice cracked and went into a whisper .The audience began to laugh and sing falsetto and to make catcalls. It was all vague and I did not quite understand what was going on. But the noise increased until Mother was /a/ _________ to walk off the stage. When she came into the wings she was very upset and argued with the stage manager who, having seen me /b/ _________ before.
Mother's friends, said something about letting me go on in her/c/ ____.
And in the /d/ __________ I remember him leading me by the hand and, after a few explanatory words to the audience, leaving me on the stage alone. And before a /e/ _________ of footlights and faces and smoke, I started to sing, /f/ __________ by the orchestra, which fiddled about until it found my /g/_________. It was a well-known song called "Jack Jones".
Half-way through, a shower of money /h/_________on to the stage. Immediately I stopped and /i/ _________ that I would pick up the money first and sing /j/_________. This caused much laughter. The stage manager came on with a handkerchief and helped me to /k/ _________ it up. I thought he was going to keep it. This thought was conveyed to the audience and increased their laughter especially when he walked off with it with me /l/ _________ following him. Not until he handed it to Mother did I return and continue to sing. I was quite at /m/ _________. I talked to the audience, danced and did several imitations including one of Mother singing her Irish march song.
And in repeating the chorus, in all innocence I imitated Mother's voice, cracking and was surprised at the /n/ ________ it had on the audience. There was laughter and cheers, then more money-throwing; and when Mother came on the stage to carry me off, her presence evoked tremendous applause. That night was my first /o/ ________ on the stage and Mother's last.
/from Charlie Chaplin's autobiography/
27. Correct the mistakes:
Lorna Steel possibly is the most talented actress the world has ever seen. Her excited career covers sixty years. She usually made at least five films the year. She will probably be remembered like the most popular actress of our time. Deeply the film industry was shocked by the time she announced her retirement last year. She had been going to the studios by a huge black luxurious limousine every day in the past 40 years. No one quite could believe her presence would any longer brighten up our cinema screens. She now is retired and lives in an extremely large beach house near the Mexican border. Those days she makes very rarely any public appearances. She is beautiful still, but now prefers to devote her valuable time in looking through old, stray dogs.
28. Read the dialogues, translate them into English:
a)
- Вітаю Вас, радий бачити!
- Я теж вітаю Вас, сьогодні справжнє театральне свято!
- Так, дуже багато прихильників раді підтримати митців оперного співу.
- Справді, "Запорожець за Дунаєм" привертає увагу не тюльки любителів національної опери.
- І це не дивно, адже П.Гулак-Артемовський написав унікальну річ.
- Багатьом подобається ще й те, що це комічна опера.
Усі знають зміст опери, їм близький і зрозумілий вільнолюбивий дух козацтва, що перебувало в турецькій неволі.
- Звідси й популярність цього музичного твору, і його безсмертя.
- Я з насолодою буду слухати мелодійні арії Андрія й Оксани.
- А мені подобається дует Карася й Одарки.
- О, це класичний дует! Скільки в ньому сили й правди сімейних стосунків! Я вже не кажу про комічність ситуації.
- Не випадково цей дует і досі лунає в концертах.
- Поспішаймо, бо вже перший дзвінок.
- До зустрічі в антракті.
- До зустрічі.
b)
- Я чомусь хвилююся, Миколо.
- Чому?
- Бо вперше переступаю поріг всесвітньовідомого Львівського театру опери та балету імені Івана Франка.
- Я часто буваю тут, але завжди хвилююся.
- За архітектурою таких театрів небагато.
- Так, наш театр оригінальний. Ось сьогодні ми подивимося з тобою балет "Створення світу".
- Хто написав музику?
- А.Петров, а лібрето Н.Касаткіна та В.Васильєв.
- А який твір покладено в його основу?
- Малюнки Жана Еффеля.
- Скільки дій має балет?
- Дві. Це – казка.
- Ми побачимо картину створення світу?
- Ні, тут ми повинні зрозуміти, що світ – це витвір рук людини, її розуму. І лише від людей залежить, що буде панувати на землі: чи зло, чи добро й щастя.
- Це й минуле, і наше майбутнє, і сучасність, бо мир на землі
завжди хвилював і хвилює людей.
- До зустрічі! Побачимося на виставі.
c)
- Ви вперше на виставі в нашому театрі?
- Так, але я давно мріяв відвідати Одеський театр. Я багато читав про дивовижну історію театру, а тепер пересвідчився, що це унікальна споруда за архітектурним оздобленням.
- Ми пишаємося своїм театром.
- Сьогодні "Травіата"Джузеппе Верді. Я слухав цю оперу в інших театрах, але сьогодні побуваю на виставі.
- У нас є талановиті співаки, лауреати міжнародних конкурсів, заслужені артисти України.
- Бачу, бачу, що склад акторів хороший. Вистава буде чудова!
