DOLORES (Jacqueline Susann's last book)
     The beautiful and fashionable Dolores Cortez Ryan is widowed when her husband, U.S. President James Ryan, is gunned down in New Orleans. After a year in seclusion, Dolores takes tentative steps back into the world, by having affairs first with a screenwriter, and then with Barry Haines, an attorney who likes rich women, but doesn't consider Dolores--with just $30,000 a year--quite rich enough. Finally, Dolores agrees to marry a fabulously wealthy shipping tycoon, who leaves her on their wedding night to go to his mistress.

History
     If the Fifties were in black and white, the Sixties burst into colour – one of the most revolutionary decades of the 20th century. It was the decade of the Black Power, the Stonewall riots, Vietnam, and Flower Power. It was the decade The Beatles got bigger than Jesus.
     All of which is to say, the Sixties were a momentous, fascinating decade of massive social change. And, as usual, there was no shortage of writers with their typewriters at the ready, on hand to record it all. Or, in some cases, to change the world themselves.

Great events of the 1960s:
1. Space Race (Gagarin, Armstrong)
2. Berlin Wall
3. Vietnam War
4. Six-Day War
5. Kuzka's mother

Literature

     1. Harper Lee – To Kill a Mockingbird
     From the moment To Kill A Mockingbird hit the shelves in 1960 it captured the hearts of millions of readers across the world, thanks to its portrayal of a white lawyer defending a Black man accused of rape in 1930s Mississippi.


     2. Charlie and the Chocolate Factory by Roald Dahl (1964)
     Find a child, anywhere on earth, who wouldn't give up their Xbox for a day in a sweet factory where you can boat down chocolate rivers, eat an entire meal in a single stick of chewing gum, or guzzle a drink so fizzy they make you fly.
     As he told an interviewer, "a good children's book teaches the uses of words, the joy of playing with language. Above all it helps children learn not to be frightened of books … If my books can help children become readers, then I feel I have accomplished something important." He certainly did that.

     3. Graham Greene - Our Man in Havana (1958)
     4. Harold Robbins - Where Love Has Gone (1962)
     5. Jacqueline Susann - Valley of the Dolls (1966)



Cinema
     Moviemaking remained in a slump at the start of the 1960s. Moviemakers struggled to come up with successful strategies to combat the rising popularity of television, which kept former movie viewers at home. One strategy was to make big-budget spectacles that TV producers simply could not make. Cleopatra, released in 1963, starring Elizabeth Taylor (1932–) and Richard Burton (1925–1984), was just such a film. It cost $37 million to make and included lavish sets and exotic filming locations. Filmgoers loved such movies, but there were only so many that could be made each year.
     Filmmakers produced some of history's best known films in the decade, including the science-fiction films Planet of the Apes (1968) and 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968) and the horror film Psycho (1960). Another popular film was West Side Story (1961), adapted from the popular Broadway play of the same name.
      Spy films expanded with worldly settings and hi-tech gadgets, such as the James Bond films Dr. No (1962) or Goldfinger (1964) and Thunderball (1965). This Spy mania extended throughout the world with many countries notably Italy and Spain producing many of their own fantastical spy films.

- The Pink Panther (1963)
- Breakfast at Tiffany's (1961)

Вариант текста для показного урока (после беседы с ДАСом)

Discipline - No Great Actor has been without It

     “People who are not involved in the theatre just don’t know what it’s like”, June Havoc likes to say.
     Probably the most difficult thing for them to understand about acting is the enormous amount of work — physical and mental work - involved in the craft. In recent years the theater, television, the film industry - all of it has become more cost and time conscious than ever before. Production costs have risen enormously, so everything must be compressed into a very short time period.
     An average hour-long program is shot in nine days. And no one cares whether you are "inspired" on each particular day or not. You are supposed to show up in time, knowing your lines, and in good physical shape. You never say to a movie director: "I don't think I can do this today. Can we do it tomorrow?"
     The rules are strict. Few personalities are so important that they can't be replaced if they don't meet the demands. Actors who don’t meet the demands find it difficult to find work.
     Among the big names of Hollywood such as Richard Burton, Elizabeth Taylor, John Wayne, Marlon Brando, Paul Newman, Audrey Hepburn, Katharine Hepburn, and others - discipline is second nature. They approach their work as professionally and in a businesslike manner as a doctor or lawyer or banker. Certain actors, on the other hand, have magnificent potential but never develop the discipline needed to survive. The most tragic example is Marilyn Monroe.
     Discipline, I have a simple definition of it: doing what is required of you regardless of your problems and fears. And with discipline comes courage - the courage to extend yourself. No great actor has been without them.

From "Julie Harris. Talks to Young Actors"
by Julie Harris and Barry Tarshis, N.Y.

Additional Texts

1. A Visit to the Theatre
     Theater is a wonderful place. There are many actors and actresses here. They perform different plays. Our family often goes to the theatre.
     Last month our family went to the theatre. We saw the play "Romeo and Juliet".Our seats were in the dress circle. It was a wonderful performance. I enjoyed every minute of the play. The actors were really very good, especially the actress playing Juliet. Her dress was beautiful.
     I like Shakespeare's plays. I've always wanted to see "Romeo and Juliet" in the theatre. I would like to know more about William Shakespeare and see all his plays in the theatre.
     If you want to go to the theatre you should think about some things beforehand. First of all go to the box-office and ask if they have seats for the day you want. Don't forget that the most expensive seats are in the front stalls or in the boxes, and the cheapest are in the gallery. The seats in the dress circle are not so expensive, but quite good, especially if they are in the first and second row. If you can't decide about your seats you can look at the map of the hall which usually is on the wall of the box-office and can be quite helpful.

1. What do actors do in a theatre?
2. What kind of play did the author and his family see in the theatre last week?
3. Which are the most expensive seats in a theatre? Which are the cheapest?


2. Moscow Theatres
     For decades Moscow has had a reputation as a city of theatres. Moscow, the birth place of the historic "Bolshoy", "Maly" and "Moscow Art" theatres, has been and still is a centre for the development exploratory modern ideas in the dramatic art and is famous for great number of highly gifted, interesting directors, actors, playwrights and artists.
     Every evening the doors of Moscow theatres open to streams of theatre-goers. I'd like to tell you about the Bolshoy Theatre. The majestic building of the Bolshoy Theatre stands in Theatre Square in Moscow's central quarter, not far from Kremlin. This is the leading Russian opera house with the best vocalists and choreographers in its company.
     The Bolshoi traces its history to 1776 when a standing opera company was organized in Moscow. The first opera shown in the Bolshoi theatre was opera "Life of Tsar" (now "Ivan Susanin"). At later times operas by Dargomyzhsky, Serov,
Tchaikovsky, Borodin, Mussorgsky, Rimsky-Korsakov and Rubinstein were produced here.
     At the same time the Bolshoi company staged the best operas and ballets by West European composers - Mozart, Rossini, Weber, Verdi and others. The Bolshoi ballet company enjoys well-deserved fame as the world's finest.

1. What kind of reputation does Moscow have? What is it famous for?
2. Where is the Bolshoi theatre situated?
3. What have you learnt about the history of the Bolshoi theatre?
4. What kind of performances can you see there?

The Great Battles

    Between the start of the Great Patriotic War and the German surrender a lot of bloody battles took place. Some of them went down in history as the determining ones in the course of the most terrible war in the history of mankind. During the first months of war the Germans achieved great successes. They captured the city of Smolensk, surrounded Leningrad and were threatening Moscow.
    The Battle of Moscow  (October 2, 1941 – January 7, 1942) was a military campaign that consisted of two periods of strategic fighting on the Eastern front. The Germans underestimated the strength of our army, which led to the end of the German “Operation Barbarossa”, giving our forces an opportunity to start a counter-offensive attack and becoming a turning point of the whole war.
    The Battle of Stalingrad, (July 17, 1942–February 2, 1943) was a major battle on the Eastern Front of the Great Patriotic War, where Nazi Germany and its allies fought the Soviet Union for control of the city of Stalingrad (now Volgograd). However, the defenders of the city raised their arms and weapons against the enemy and the battle resulted in successful Soviet defense of the city and helped the Russian army to take the initiative for the entire course of the war.
    The Battle of Kursk (July 5, 1943 – August 23, 1943) (also known as “The Kursk Bulge”) was a clash between German and Soviet forces on the Eastern Front. The Soviet Army was victorious in this battle and Hitler's dreams of conquering Russia were ended. German troops were unable to break through the Red Army's fortifications and so lost the advantage. However, our troops won at great cost.
    The Byelorussian Strategic Offensive Operation  (June 22 – August 19, 1944 (also known as “the Operation Bagration”)) was focused on surrounding and destroying  main fascist armies.  It was the biggest defeat in German military history, with severe casualties for Germany which allowed the Soviet forces to  Berlin.
    The Battle of Berlin, (April 16 – May 2, 1945) (Berlin Strategic Offensive Operation by the Soviet Union) which is also known as the "Fall of Berlin", was one of the last major offensives during the course of the Great Patriotic War.    The Red Army attacked Berlin from the east and south eventually taking control of the entire city.
     The main reason for those fantastic victories was our people’s selflessness and the strength of our army’s spirit.
