Roman Miscellany
Br MARGARET SCHULER
Rome "The town curls
like a dozing cat on the side
of the Umbrian hill." An
imaginative reporter wrote
that in this week's Time mag
azine about Spoleto. I wish I
could have said it.
Spoleto has come into in
ternational news this month
because the famous play
wright, Gian - Carlo Menotti
has chosen it for the setting
of a great venture, "The Fes
tival of Two Worlds."
The purpose of this festival
is a bit different from the doz
ens of others, bursting out all
over Europe in summer time.
It is to give young American
and European artists an op
portunity to express them
selves in music, drama, paint
ing and dancing. Mr. Menot
ti, searching Italy for peace
ful beauty, selected Spoleto
and one can understand why
for Spoleto is the quintessence
of medieval hill towns, with
its narrow cobblestone streets,
its marvelous stone facades,
its vistas through old arches,
its churches and panoramic.
effects.
His venture is a tremen-
Mother and Son

Mrs. Robert Miller, and

France since March, and the
family plans an indefinite stay

The Millers plan to tour Eu
rope by car this summer and
in the fall will take up resi
dence in Paris or another of
the European cities where Mr.
Miller, an artist, will be able
.to devote his time to painting.
Mrs. Miller was on the fac
ulty of Medford High school
for the past two years.

dous one costing much money,
most of which comes from
America (as usual). So far it
has not been too successful; in
spite of the backing, and im
posing list of world names as
patrons. Italian newspapers
have both praised and scorn
ed it. The northern cities have
deliberately sabatoged it, tell
ing tourists there were no ac
commodations in Spoleto. But
friends of Mr. Menotti believe
that given more backing it
will survive. '
Smi Macbeth
I saw only the production
of Verdi's Macbeth; which was
magnificently staged and cos
tumed. On that Saturday
night the resplendent theater
was filled and the audience
enthusiastic.
Besides Macbeth, the most
popular production has been
Ballets U. S. A." Eugene
O'Neil's "Moon for the Mis
begotten," was too somber, in
volved and long to have pop
ular appeal. There were piano
concerts by young artists and
picture exhibits. I should
think it would help, all of it,
to knock down the old Euro
pean contention that Americans-
are interested only in
the dollar.
One can readily see that
Spoleto would be as the Time
writer said, "A Shangri-La for
young people." I watched a
group of young performers at
lunch time lounging about,
drinking coffee at a little out
door cafe, and I could cer
tainly understand how they
would appreciate the aesth
etic, delightful place. But I
wonder if there is enough to
hold the restless tourist for
several days. There are no
night clubs, no casinos, no
beaches, and not much shop
ping. Wandering about the town
we saw great potentials for
future years, an ancient
Greek theater in the process
of being restored, a dramatic
cathedral piazza, and an ad
orable little theatre. Of
course, I kept thinking of
Ashland, and felt a sympathy
for Mr. Menotti because his
efforts are but in the birth
throes.
Spoleto is a two and a half
hour trip on the train from
Rome, and we would have
felt repaid just seeing the
glorious spring colors of the
country side, and the sharp
silhouettes of old walls and
castles, even without the fes
tival.

Chivalry Dead in City
Says Woman
By GAY PAULEY
UPI Women's Editor j
New York (UPI) Chi
valry is dead in the nation's
largest city and I dare the
men to prove me a liar.
This subject of New York
males and their manners has
irritated me ever since I came
to this metropolis in late
1347. I've been patient, as I
watched courtesy go down for
the count, figuring well, it's
only me: I'm spoiled. I grew
up a bit farther South where
men opened doors for ladies
and men took off their hats in
elevators and men courted a
girl with a corsage on a spe
cial date.
But my patience has grown
thin as the front hall carpet
and I ve decided it's time to
air my gripes. Also, time to
let the women elsewhere
know how lucky and how
pampered they are; and to
praise the masculine sex in
West Virginia and Texas and
North Carolina and Oklaho
ma and Ohio and, well, matter
of fact, any part of the coun
try besides New York.
Two recent incidents trigger
my outburst. One was a rainy
day when, as all New Yorkers
tell you, the cabs go under
ground or disappear into
limbo Anyway, they get scar
cer than falsies at the Miss
America beauty pageant.
Flag a Cab
Standing in front of our of
fice building in mid-town
Manhattan, I hailed an empty
cab. At least I thought I was
the one who hailed it ... but
there were a couple of men in
line behind me. Just as the
cab pulled up, there was a
whoosh. A door slammed and
"m" cab pulled off with the
two men it in.
Okay, so you start working
for another cab. And eventu
ally, another empty hoves to.
But there's also' another
whoosh,-, and this time three
men beat me to the door, all
of them obviously college
track stars.
Second event. Office cell-
mate a male, a non-native
and a gentleman of the old
s c h o o 1 came to announce
that well even he was fed up
with manners of his own sex.
He was about to board a bus
when he notices a couple of
old ladies also in linei He
stepped aside to let them on
first, when whoosh. A man
behind all three bareed
through and panted aboard.
Ere I get clobbered. I'll'
concede there are a few excep
tions. I even saw one man
the other day get up and give
his bus seat to somebody's
grandmother.
But few such exist. New
York males race to get on, or
off, the elevator before me. I
start through a revolving door

and the man who dashed to
get in first lets me push. -
I wait for a phone booth to
empty and a man behind me
closes the door in my face
and drops in his dime. I see a
seat emptying at a subway
stop and just as I start to ease
into it, I find I have a choice
. either continue standing or
sit on some guy's lap.
I've been elbowed back
from the street corner by men
who plan to cross early when
the light turns green; tram
pled as I tried to work my
way up to' a lunch counter for
a quicko snack; out-maneuvered
in the check-out line at
supermarkets and had the
man who shoved ahead of me
the nerve to snarl, "lady,
quit pushin.' "
What causes the New York
male to forget his manners?
It's beyond me. Maybe the
psychiatrists would say it is
because New York is a city
were getting ahead in the job
becomes so important that the
law of the jungle takes over
24 hours a day.

Flapper Nightie
New Nightwear
New York Fashion-minded
women are really living in
l their chemises, asleep or
awake, reports the National
Cotton Council.
Sharing honors with the
new shape in dresses, chemise
lines give new silhouette in
terest to dainty cotton night
wear. Nighties favor low
banding at hemlines with bow
ties to give drawstring effects.
In sof t-hued flora 1 -printed
voiles these summery styles
come in long and short ver
sions. The "flapper" nightie is
reminiscent of the "20's" with
its loose fit and tiers of ruf
fles on pale blue cotton ba
tiste. Delicate peignoir sets also
favor unrestricted, flowing
lines with loose-fitting robes
in embroidered white eyelet.
The robe, with capelet sleeves
arid a flounce hemline, is en-
sembled with a chemise gown
in pink cotton batiste.
