Roman Miscellany
If MARGARET SCHULER
Rome A few days ago a
man here in Rome threw a
coin into the Trevic Fountain.
This bit of information might
pass unnoticed but for the
fact that the man was Jule
Styne and Jule Styne is the
composer of the popular
sonf , "Three Coins in a Foun
tain." What really makes it
interesting is ,that he had
never before seen the foun
tain. CinaCitta Cinema City, is
Rome's Hollywood. Much
American activity is taking
place ofti that way two im
portant films are being made.
The one Ben Hur, attracts
all the colossal, stupendous
adjectives in the book. MGM
is spending $18 million which
they say is more money than
any other film has ever- cost.
This sort of thing mounts up
expenses 85 valuable horses,
imported -from Jugoslavia,
which must be housed, fed
dhd cared for over a period
of several months; an exact
replica of the Circus Maximus
of Jerusalem being built at
CinaCitta; also an artificial
lake for the naval battle. The
actual filming was started on
the 20th of May, and now the
director is working on the
famous chariot race of the
great epic. This alone will
take six weeks.
Briton's Christopher Frye
is doing part of the script
work. Charles Heston is play
ing Ben Hur, and a girl from
Israel (chosen from innumer
able applicants) has the femi
nine lead. Her name is Haeja
Hareet. The filming will take
until December. .
.The other big American
picture being produced here
is "The Nun's Story." Audrey
Hepburn plays the lead, in
this one. Last Saturday she
entertained the entire cast of
200 at a party.
Perry Como has a televi
sion show in Rome. It is dis
appointing, however, as it is
old films and doesn't do the
popular, handsome singer jas
tice. Italian television is good,
ordinarily, and one appreci
ates the handling of advertis
ing. It is two minutes at the
beginning of a show that,
and no more.
Toast Substitutes
Instead of the usual toast
triangles, serve creamed foods
on toasted English muffins,
chow mein noodles, pastry
shells, baked potatoes, rice,
crisp crackers, spaghetti or
noodle nests. .
Try whipped cottage cheese,
orange juice and grated
orange rind, sour cream and
jellied cranberry sauce or
cream cheese with chopped
pineapple and maraschino
cherries to top fruit salads.
Every day, to Rome, come
the great, the near great, the
illustrious, the near illustri
ous saints and sinners and
American movie luminaries.
Many of these people stay at
the Excelsior hotel. The Ex
celsior is on the Via Veneto
Rome's Fifth Avenue and
its most scintillating' street.
In order to go in or out of the
hotel, these news makers
must do it on the Via Veneto,
and to stroll on the Via Vene
to (a popular outdoor diver
sion with hoi polli and celeb
rities alike), they must pass
the outdoor coffee tables at
Doney's. So, if you are a fan
of public idols, you -may see
them daily, for the price of
a cup of coffee, ,
91st Birthday
Is Celebrated
By George Haff
Gold Hill George Haff,
well known Gold Hill man,
celebrated his 91st birthday
anniversary, June 14. He was
honored at a dinner and party
Friday evening given in the
home of his step-son and
daughter-in-law, Mr. and Mrs.
Paul Thompson at 960 Second
avenue, in Gold Hill. The oc
casion was also in observance
of Mr. Thompson's birthday
on June 12. Others attending
the dinner were Miss Jenny
Lou Thompson and Miss Ver
via Beman.
Later, in the evening the
Thompsons and their guests
were joined by Mr. and Mrs.
H. D. Force, Miss Judy Force,
Dave and Jack Force. For the
occasion Mrs. Thompson
served a decorated birthday
ca"ke and refreshments.
Mr. Haff was born in Colo
rado. He has been a resident
of Gold Hill since 1895, and
recalls many events of the
"gold rush and saloon" days.
Until his retirement, he was
engaged in the mining profes
sion most of his life. Mr. Haff
has earned his own way since
he was 14 years old. On his
14th birthday, his mother
died, and on that same night
President Garfield was as
sassinated. Following his mother's
death he supported himself
by working in the kitchens of
several different hotels. Dur
ing those years he learned to
be a chef. George, as every
one calls him, is well known
in southern Oregon for his
famous "old fashioned sour
dough biscuits," and also
among members of the Odd
Fellows lodges in the valley
he is known for his oyster
stews which he has prepared
on innumerable occasions.
Cooking and writing poetry
are two of his hobbies.
Mr. Haff has been an active
member of the Gold Hill Odd
Fellows and Amethyst Re
bekah lodges for over 50
years.
Mr. Haff is a direct de
scendent of John and Priscilla
Alden. His mother's maiden
name was Alden.
