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

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.
