The results of our Quiz are sorrowful. Nobody answered properly
all the questions: either the task was very difficult, or the prize was so negligible! May be -
the first and the second together!
However we recommend you to read this Page, because we are sure,
you wil find there a lot of interesting information! And we are sure, Timothy Dalton's admirers
simply must read the complete answer to the first question with
the additional Page!
The Correct Answers
1. On the Page "February" of our Calendar you hear the beginning of
the First Part of the Fourth Symphony, composed by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky (F minor, Opus 36(1)).
We suppose, that the history of its creation will be very interesting for our readers and this is
why we placed it
on the separate Page!
2. All the photoes of our Calendar are from recent Timpthy's film
Time Share.
3. Rex Harrison and Julie Andrews were the first performers of
leading parts in F.Lowew's musical
"My Fair Lady" on Broadwaw (1956) and in London (1958). The performance was given during
two years on Broadway. Julie Andrews was Tomy awarded for this one in 1957. Later, during 16 months
the performance had a success on London stage.
This is why the choice of Worner Brothers Studio, desired to see
in the leading role Audrey Hapbern, who couldn't sing her voice part as a professional singer, was
a surprise for many admirers of music. However, Audrew has done her part brilliantly and settle
all the hesitations of her and Julie's admirers. She was especially magnificent in the scenes,
where Eliza becomes a real lady. Nonetheless she couldn't achieve the Oscar award that time, though
her partner Rex Harrison has got it deservedly and the film itself has got 12 nominations and 8
awards - the sympathies of the actor's part of the jury were on the side of Julie, who has got her
golden statuette this year for her participation and performance the role of Mary Poppins in
cognominal film.

4. In the picture from the Page
"September" we use photoes from the two popular American films "The Untouchable",
Paramount Pictures, 1987, and "The Fugitive", Warner Brothers, 1994. The leading roles were
performed by Kevin Kerstner, Robert De Niro, and Sean Connery has got his Oscar award for his role
of a policeman here as the best supporting actor in 1989. In the second film the leading part was
performed by Harrison Ford. There are his ankles with shackles around in the bottom of our picture.
And Sela Ward was his partner in the episodic role of his wife, who has come to a tragic end. This
actress is well-known to Timothy Dalton's admirers, because she was his co-starring partner in the
movie
"Passion's Way".
5. Our picture from the Page
"October" shows three plays written by A.P.Chechov:
"The Seagull" (as the emblem of the Moscow Art Theatre), "Three Sisters" and "Cherry Orchard".
The roles of three sisters were performed in London's Queen Theatre
under direction of Robert Sturua by Lynn (Masha), Vanessa (Olga) and Jemma Redgrave (Irina) in 1990.
Here you can see the photoes from this performance, which were taken by us from Lynn Redgrave's
Official Page. Jemma is Lynn's and Vanessa's niece.
On the photo in the left lower corner of our picture in
Calendar you see
Lynn Redgrave as Ranevskaya in "Cherry Orchid". Please, visit the wonderful
Lynn Redgrave's Official Web site, where the carefully chosen illustrations and contemporary
design support very well the brief and purposeful narrative not only about Lynn's creativity, but
the history of whole family of actors - Redgraves!
Unfortunately, Timothy Dalton doesn't follow the example of his
former lady-partners on stage and on the screen - he seems to be completely forgotten about theatre!
6. On the Page "November" you see the portrait of Eric Schmitt, a
French dramatist, the author of play
"Enigma Variations"
. To know more about him, please, visit
Eric Schmitt's special Web site! We do hope, you will apprecuate its information and original
design!
7. Please, give us the names of the 3 famous British actors, who
has sucessfully performed
king Lear in cinema or in TV-movies. Specify the issue dates for the titles you will mention,
