MUSSOLINI FIDDLES LIKE NERO OF OLD Italian Dictator Plays His Violin as Means of Escaping Cares of Empire.

EPITOR'S NOTE: This is the second of u scries of articles by Milton Brunner. European correspondent for NEA Service, on the personality of Mussolini. The concluding article will follow: By Milton Bronner ,V£.4 Service Writer Cnvurinht, 19tt. \FA Service ROME. May 1. —Nero fiddled while he was destroying Rome and doing his best to upset the whole Roman empire. But Benito Mussolini fiddles while he Is endeavoring to restore the glories of. the ancient city and the international prestige his country once enjoyed. The fact that the Italian premier loves to play the violin with its soothing melodies is just another of the strange contrasts that I found behind the iron mask of this man, Mussolini. Dreams of Empire Here is a man who believes ruling with an iron hand is best for any nation, a man who believes in speaking bluntly and frankly to the world about Italy’s ambitions, a man who in his fiery and vitriolic manner denounces all those who disagree with him, a man of tireless energy whose very features indicate the terrific strain under which he works, a man who possibly dreams of becoming an emperor. You would expect that the fanfare of trumpets, the roll of drums or the blare of a great band would be music to such a man’s ears. But it is the violin that appeals to Mussolini. With only his aged housekeeper, Cesira, to hear, lie plays in the quiet of his apartment. And he plays well. Generally he prefers the quiet plaintive melodlet,

so characteristic of the instrument, but occasionally he pours out that tempestuous, unnestrained spirit, so typical of him. The music of the violin seems to provide tho relaxation that a man who leads as strenuous a life as Misolini must have. An Artist’s Impulses It is Idle to speculate about the sort of musician Mussolini might i have made if he had directed his I footsteps that way instead of to- > ward glory. But he has all the im- ! pulses of the gi;eat creative artist. There is, for example, the matter of a play which he Is said to have written—or rather to have started. The play Is said to have for its title, ‘Signori. Si Incommencia” — the traditional call on the stage to show the players that the curtain is about to rise. It is supposed to deal ; with tho life of wandering gypsies, j telling the story of the love of a ! middle aged man and a young fellow I for the same girl. But, according to the story. Mus- | solinl struck the same snag that so many amateur playwrights In America have encountered. He finished two acts and then couldn’t decide how to bring the plot through to a conclusion without falling lntcj a stereotyped “happy ending." That’s the story of the play. It is added that American film magnates have offered tho dictator fabulous sums for movie rights to it. Wrote the Title But I asked one of Mussolini's Roman acquaintances about It. He told me that he had mentioned

Travels Some Ilse Marvenga, who created the prima donna role in "The Student Prince” when it was produced in New York over a year ago, has undertaken a 6,000-mile journey in order that she may sing in the operetta when it opens at the Curran Theater in San Francisco this Sunday night. Miss Marvenga has been with the London “Student Prince” company.

the matter to Mussolini once, asking him what truth there was in the story. Mussolini, he said, laughingly replied that he had gotten any farther than writing the three words of the title. It would seem, to be sure, that Mussolini is too busy to spend any time on dramatic compositions. His life is so full that ho does not even seo his own family oftener than once a fortnight. For while Mussolini is living in a simple apartment In Via Razella, i Rome, his wife and children are living in an equally simple home in Milan in Via Mario Pagano, near one of Milan's great parks. And this despite the fact that Mussolini in as home loving a man as you could find. To begin with, while Mussolini could have had any palace in Rome for the asking, ho could not liavo afforded It. lie is still a poor man. And society—society with a capital S—means nothing at all to him. Signora a Home-Maker And yet, even living in a relatively modest apartment as he does, he cannot entirely escape some social activity. And if Signora Mussolini | were with him In Rome there would be even more of it—a thing even less to her tastq than it would be to his for she Is essentially what the Germans would call a hausfrau —a home maker. In addition, there are the three children to consider. Living in Rome, constantly seeing their father bowed down to as the ruler of Italy, would they not almost inevitably get an inflated idea of ttieir own importance; become, in plain English, badly spoiled? Mussolini and his wife thought so. So it was agreed that Signora and the children would live in Milan, while Mussolini stayed in Rome. The signora has only been in Rome once since her husband's accession to power. But every’ other week some state business takes Mussolini to Milan. He goes to the perfecture to transact it and then disappears, absolutely refusing to ste anybody. The truth of the mat er is that during those "disappearings” he is at home visiting his wife and playing with his two sons, Bruno, 5, and Vltto Rio, 7 —and, Incidentally, having a high old time, just like any other father. His Favorite The daughter, Edda, who is 14, is attending school in Florence. She, % by tho way, is her father's favorite, and she has been with him more since lie became premier than the others have. Perhaps he is especially fond of her because she is so like him—so fearless, so frank and above board. She w’alks as he does, squares her shoulders as he does, strides along like a young lion. Mussolini tried living at a big hotel after he first came to Rome, but he found it hard to get the privacy he so much desired. The Fascist! leaders are very fond of patronizing the

famous Restaurant Umberto, but not I Mussolini. When he has to he occasionally graces public banquets, eating very sparingly of the elaborate repasts. He is seldom the guest of the king,
