　　Tony Bennett, the American singer recently touring Britain, can’t remember how many times he has sung his standard hit “I Left My Heart in San Francisco”．He sang it again to his audience at the London Palladium last night．

　　“I never get tired of singing it, ” he said, “I like it very much．It’s a great city and it’s a good song．”

　　Bennett is to record a TV special with the American singer Lena Horne while he is here．And a new LP recorded by him in London for Philips titled “Listen Easy” will be published in June．

　　“I like it here,” he added quietly．“I would like to live here so many months of the year．”

　　He already keeps a large flat in Grosvenor Square, where he is staying with his actress wife Sandie Grant and their three-year-old daughter Joanna．It has a studio where he likes to paint．Tony plans to have his first exhibition later in the year and he has already sold one picture for ＄4000．At the end of the year Tony is to star in a musical film which has been specially written for him called “Two Bits”, an informal expression for 50 cents．It’s about an Italian immigrant(移民)who goes to America, but he becomes a failure．

　　“In many ways it’s very close to my life the way the story has been written,” said Bennett．“My father, an Italian, was ill and died when I was nine．He always wanted me to sing, but he never lived long enough to be a part of my success．”

The film is to be made by Italy’s top director Vittori-a De Sica．

　　At Harton College－an English boarding school for boys, there are many rules．15-year-old Bob Sanders often breaks them．

　　The boys can go into the town in the afternoon after class．But they must retum to the school at six o'clock, One afternoon Bob walked to the town．He looked at the shops and then went to the cinema．After the film, he looked at his watch．It was after eight o'clock．He was a little worried．He walked back to Harton College as fast as possible．

　　When he arrived, he ran quickly to the main entrance．It was locked．He went round the school building to another door, which was locked too．He looked up at the window of his dormitory on the third floor．The window was open．But it was quite dark and he could not climb up the wall easily．Then he saw another open windows on the ground floor．It was the window of the headmaster's study．

　　He looked into the room－no one was there．Bob quickly climbed on to the window sill(窗台)and jumped into the room．Just then he heard a noise．Then someone turned on a light in the corridor．Bob looked around and then hid under the sofa．One minute later, Mr．Mannering, the headmaster, came in．He turned on the light on his desk, and sat down on the sofa．Then he opened a book and began to read．

　　Bob lay under the sofa as quietly as possible．He couldn't move．The floor was cold and uncomfortable．He looked at the headmaster's shoes and socks for an hour．

　　“Why doesn't he get up and go to bed?”Bob thought．

　　Mr．Mannering read his book for an hour．Finally, the headmaster closed his book and stood up．He put the book on the shelf and walked towards the door．

　　“Thank heavens he didn't find me under the sofa,”thought Bob．

　　Then Mr．Mannering stopped and spoke towards the sofa．“Would you turn off the light when you leave?”he said, and left the study．
