Euro- pean correspondent for REA Service. on the mrsonslity of Mus- solini. The concluding article will appear tomorrow.) By Mil/ION BRONNEB ROME—Nero fiddled while he was destroying Rome and doing ills best to upset the whole Roman eni- piro. But Benito Mussolini fiddles while he is ondeavoring to restore the glories of the ancient city and the international prestige his country once enjoyed. The fact that the llallnn premier loves to play the violin with its soothing melodies is just another of the strange contrasts thlit I found behind the iron mask or this man. Mussolini. Dreams of Emipre Hero is a man who believes rui- lng with on iron hand is host for any notion. is man who believes in speaking bluntly and frankly to the u y I about llnly‘s ambitions. it man “A in his ficry und vitrilic mun- nm denounces all those who dis- agree with lilni. a mun of tireless energy whose very features indicate the terrific strain under which he works. a man who possibly dreams of becomming an emperor. You would expect that the fan- fare of trumpets. the roll of drums or the blurs of a great band would be music to such it man's cars. But it is the violin that appeals to Mussolini. With only his aged housekeeper. Cesira. to hear. he plays in the quiet of his apart- ment. And he plays well. Generally he prefers the quiet pinintivo melodies so characteristic of the instrument. but occasionally be pours out that tempcstuous. unrestrained spirit. so typical of him. The music of the violin seems to provide the relaxation that a man who loads as strenuous life as Mus- solini must have. An Artt~i‘s lmpulses It is idle to speculate about the sort of musician Mussolini might have made if he had directed his footsteps that way instead of to- ward glory. But he has all the Im- pulses of the great creative artist. There is for example. the matter of is play which he is said to have written-0r rather to have started. The play is said to have for its title, "Slgnori. Bl lncommencin"—— the traditional call on the stage to show the layers that the curtain is about so rso. it is supposed to deal with the life of wandering gypsies. telling the story of the love of a middle aged man and a young fol- low for the some girl. But according to the story. Mus- solini struck the some snag that so ny amateur playwrights in met-lea have encountered. lie flu- ished two acts and than couldn’t de- cide how to bring the plot through to a conclusion without falling into a. stereotyped “happy ending." That's the story of the play. It is added that American film mag- nates have offered the, dictator fabulous sums for movie rights to it. Wrote the Title. But I asked one of Mussolinl's no- man acquaintances about it. He told me that he had mentioned the matter to Mussolini once. asking him what truth there was in the story. Mussolini. he said. laughing- ly replied that he had never gotten any farther than writing the three words of the title. Two-'To-One Chance Derby Day Is “Fair and Warmer” LOUISVILLE. (AP)——Thcre is a two to one chance that Derby Day. May 15. will be “fair and warmer." Weather bureau records beginning with 1875. the year or the first Kon- tucky Derby, show that on thirty. four May 15': the weather was clear, and on seventeen it rained. The heaviest rain on that date in any one of the last titty-one years fell in 1928. when precipitation measured 1.8! inches. In neither l923 nor 1924 did it rain. but on Derby day last yenr. May 16. the race was run in a. driving rainstorm. Spring weather with an average maximum of seventy-five degrees for Derby day is shown by the rec- ord for the last fifteen years.
