By MARGARET Rome - The "Leopard" had its premiere showing recently here in Rome, with much fan fare, but without Burt Lan caster, who is still sick in Hollywood, or was, at the time. Several days after the opening, three of us Orego nians, thinking it would be interesting to hear how Ital ian sounded, coming dubbed out of Burt s American mouth walked over to the theater to buy tickets. We walked out again how ever, concluding that it was not four dollars worth inter esting. The reviews have been highly favorable though, and the Italians must like It as the theater has been packed continually for the perform ances. The la test news about Cleopatra" here is that it is to be divided into two parts because of the great length. And I might suggest that they do that with the opera, "Parsifal." A friend invited me to the premiere showing of that, and we went at eight, and the last curtain call was at 1:10 a.m. I would also sug gest that Europeans follow the custom of our Oregon Shakespearean festival of playing through without a break. It is much less distract ing. Here they have long in tervals between acts, during leaves the theater to parade in the foy ers and lounges. It so happened this time that being opening night when Farewell Events Honor Woman Applcgatc Valley Mrs, Claud Williams, Sterling road, was honored recently with a farewell party at the home of Mrs. Harlcy Hall.

I IAUNDROMA1 SSssJTIWAin MwrtwiK N KWMB SIKUI Legislative Expert To Be Speaker An expert's analysis of hap penings in the current session of the Oregon legislature will be on the program for the next meeting of the Jackson County unit, Oregon Federa tion of Women's Republican clubs. It will be held Monday, April 22, at 12 noon at the Jackson House according to Mrs. Gene Williams, club president. In an address entitled "Got a Complaint? - Write Your Legislator", John Y. Lansing, assistant vice-president and chief legislative represent;! tive for Pacific Power and Light company, will present his views on what has hap pencd. Is happening, and what will probably happen during the session slated to wind up some time in May. Mr. Lansing, a 1942 gradu ate of Oregon and a World War II combat bomber pilot, is a veteran of 16 years of service at the legislature. He has participated In 10 ses sions, including nine regular and one special session, since 1047.

New Members Are Added to Fund Committee Gold Hill - Mrs. Albert Gascon, noble grand of Amethyst Rehckah lodge, has announced that Ihere is a need for more workers on the building fund committee. Mrs. Gascon, herself member ut the fund commit tee, has named Mrs. Raymond Thompson to serve and Mar tin Johnson, noble grand of the Odd Fellows lodge, named C liarlcs Stripling to serve on the IOOF building committee. Members of the committees other than the new ones and Mrs. Gascon who donated their time to work at a ben efit dance last Saturday night at Central Point were Raymond Thompson, Hi d. Force. Mrs. Taul Molloy, and Mrs. Charles Stripling, gen eral chairman of the commit tee. Mrs. QtSCon extended rec ognition to all members who are not on the committee for the efforts they have made during the past weeks to co operate with the general chairman through donation of their time and monev. Past projects have been suc cessful, raising the fund to more than S1.000. at this time. ; Femilies Visit I Cere Junction Illinois Valley - Mr. and! Mrs Zane Lenly and familv lend Mr and Mrs. Virgil Nei-1 son and family, all of Suther- 111), were recent visitors at the home of Mr. and Mrs. A. M ! Reich. Cave Junction. SCHULER evening dress is obligatory, that it was highly entertain ing and spectacular. Lavish furs of chinchilla, mink (white), and sable category, and magnificent gowns were worn. I could not help con trasting this with the period directly after the war when women wore evening gowns all right, but relics that looked like costumes from old trunks In attics. And in those days, under the glittering chande liers, everyone drank Coca Cola and coffee. Today, one has a choice of everything imaginable from consomme to champagne. I did not see Coca Cola. And for the buffet supper there were great displays of tempt ing foods, both hot and cold, with Innumerable uniformed and gloved waiters in attend ance. According to reports, 150 Americans are singing, many of them in leading roles, in European opera houses. And they are well received and acclaimed. But of this goodly number who make the grade, there are 10 times more who do not. Strenuously they study, practice, go without food to reach stardom, grasp at straws. At our Episcopal church we have several of them. It is the policy of the church to give help and to permit students to practice there, so all day long you can hear voices, hear the pipe organ, the piano and violin. It all seems so sort of futile. There is such great competi tion In this big city of mu sically minded aspirants. Aspirants Pathetic More pathetic to me are the movie aspirants. You see them in restaurants, bars and night clubs, trying to be gay and carefree. They join groups to have drinks, and talk loudly about trips they are about to lane to Vienna, Venice or some place, to fill an engage ment. This all passed over my little-town head, until a woman who is a script writer took me to see theYn. She would explain who each one was, and his or her problem. My heart aches for them. They just haven't a chance in a carload, and eventually will have to accumulate enough money to take a third class ticket back to their Iowa or new York homes. An American And then one day this as tonishing incident happened to me. I was studying in the library, when the librarian came to me and asked if I would talk to an American who wished to speak to some one from the States. He asked me if I could introduce him to someone of Importance in the cinema world, who could give him entree to the heads. If It had not been so sad it would have been ludicrous. He was desperately in earn est. He knew that he was good and all he required was an introduction. He did not necessarily need tell me that he was from New Jersey, that his talent had been untouch ed by training, or that he had been Inhibited by grammar rules. And nothing I could say or suggest helped. I had thought he might join a little theater group which is not too professional, but he would have none of that. It would be a waste of time. He. and he really meant it. wanted to start at the lop. So that was thai.
