At certain times throughout history, a supposedly lost art is
brought new life 'through the efforts of a single •outstanding per

During
,World War II Charles Laughtori, well knOwn actor of
!stage and screen. announced that
he would entertain the wounded
soldiers by reading aloud: As his
selection he chose readings from
the Bible.
Laughton proceeded to read
Bible stories, along with works
of Shakespeare and, as the Christ-1
ian Science Monitor said, time
after time he left with his audi ,
ence "a warm and personal ex
perience." From these readings
Laughton brought a renewed art
to television and the theater.
