Divine Creature

at 10.15
Many viewers will remember Sergei Obraztsov, the Director of the principal puppet theatre in the Soviet Union, and a great puppeteer in his own right. Four years ago he delighted us with Baby Tyapa, his wonderful glove puppet, and his tragi-comic inebriate. Monsieur Obraztsov, although a talented linguist, relies mainly on music, the international language, in presenting his puppets.
Obraztsov is a tubby, energetic man, with humorous eyes-a man acknowledged by the world of puppetry as a maestro.
He returned to England in July, 1954, with his company, the Moscow State Puppet Theatre. They presented a children's pantomime, Aladdin and His Wonderful Lamp and a variety show for adults, The Concert.
Obraztsov's film, Divine Creature, displays the classical musical talents of the famous puppets. It was made originally with Russian speech, but an English commentary has been added so that viewers may appreciate more easily the humour of the characters.
The story concerns the great tenor Obozhayev whom audiences flock to hear. Other artists are negligible by comparison. But Obozhayev has yet to learn that no one, not even a great tenor, is irreplaceable.
