Charlton Heston

Ben Hur in person will give a poetry reading in the Memorial Theatre on June 29 from 1 to 2pm. Charlton Heslon arrives in Auckland on June 27 and will be in New Zealand for two days, before going on to Australia. As well as American poetry, principally that of Auden and Frost, he will read some New Zealand work, possibly from D. Glover and James K. Baxter.

Shakespeare. especially "Macbeth" is one of Charlton Heston's favourites and he also likes reciting excerpts from his films. He will lunch simply in the cafe—hostess: executives cultural affairs officer! Although the reading is free, tickets will be available from the association office.

He will also give a reading in town, an embassy reception will be given for him. and he will probably appear in a tennis match.
