THIS MONTH'S COVER: You won't recognize these young people, but in a few years' time you may see them at the Comedie- Francaise when you visit Paris or, without stirring from your homeland, on the screen. They are three out of a select five thousand in France who study in two hundred dif- ferent drama schools, and Rene Simon, the director of their school, has great hopes for them. Twenty-four-year-old Jean-Pierre Darene, in the foreground, had a part in a recent film, Liberte Surveillee (On Probation), and plans to make his career in the cinema. He would like to play what he calls "intense roles." Claude Arnold (right), eighteen, goes in for "vicious ingenue" roles, and recently went on tour in Algeria with the Comedie- Francaise's Maurice Escande. Twenty-year-old Jane Barry (left), a jeune premiere type, has already played with success on the Paris stage. Whatever dreams these three may have had on entering school were soon swept aside for long and relentless work. On page 42 Rene Simon and Mine. Dussane, another celebrated drama teacher, describe how they train their students for one of the world's most competitive careers.

ART IN EVOLUTION: Emile Bernard: Catalyst of Great Masters: Unknown to the general public, this painter of genius is one of the most curious phenomena in the history of modern art. At the age of twenty Bernard displayed so fertile an invention that he foreshadowed a host of 20th century movements; most astonishing of all, he sparked off in Gauguin, then aged forty, the style that was to become famous throughout the world. By Roy McMullen.
