RICH WINES FOR ROYALTY
" Design They Are Made SO GOOD
as to Spoil Sale Of Other Kinds
and Grades.

In the thirteenth and fourteenth
centuries in Paris the wine of Mont
martre was as celebrated and HI pop
ular with connoisseurs as Chateau
Yquem is today, and the dingy Rue
de la Goutte dor, now the resort OF
the Apache, takes its name from the
Montmartre wine of the best quality.
In fact, this particular vintage was
so renowned that it was the custom
for Paris to present four casks of il
to the king of France ON each ANN.
versary of his coronation. In 1214
an international wine exhibition was
held in Paris. Spain, Portugal,
Greece, Italy and France sent their
best vintages.
The reigning king, Philippe Au-
guste, presided himself over the
Judging committee, and after fair
and exhaustive test the jury declared
The wine of Cyprus TO be king of the
wines, the Malaga was proclaimed
viceroy, and the Goutte dor vintage
was one of the three dukes. the others
being the Malvoisic and the Alicante.
1t was this very success of the wine
of Paris which worked its downfall.
Those who had hitherto cultiyated
other crops decided to grow nothing
but wines in future, and planted
them indiscriminately. without re-
gard to the nature of the soil. This
result was a gradual degeneration ia
the quality of the wines, and with
their lost reputation the cultivation
OF the vine was fnally abandoned al.
together. San Frnncisco Argonaut

lavOri drammatiCi di TuIIiO
Murri

ROMA, 1 - II "Tirso" dice che in
questi giorni sono stati consegnati
al Comm. Re-Riccardi quattro lavo-
ri drammatici dovuti Tullio Murri
e cioe una tragedia in ire atti in
yersi: "Rosmunda'', un alto ALA
Gran Guignol, una commedia moder-
ma della quale pare non sia ancora
definitivo il titolo un poemetto
drammatico in versi.
Persona che ha potuto -leggere /
copioni prima ancora che il padre
stesso del Murri Ii ayesse consegnati
all'editore, dice che non 81 tratta di
lavori destinati a contare sulla Gu
riosita morbosa del pubbico per Fin
teresse che in esso possono destare le
condizioni in cui l'autore Ii ha scrit-
IT, 81 tratterebbe invece di opere che
hanno un elevate valore artistico.
II ''Tirso" aggiunge che i mano-
scritti sono piccoli fascicoli di fogli
intestati a stampa delle regie carceri.
Essi sono vergati in calligrafia minu-
tissima. Infatti, come noto, ogni
detenuto puo scrivere ALA famiglia
ogni As giorni, potendo disporre di
un solo foglio. Quindi il Murri dove
va comporre a memoria i suoi versi
poi, venuto il giorno della corri-
spondenza, utilizzare pi1 che poteva
il solo quadrato di carta che gil We
niva concesso. Egli pero, in seguito,
ottenne speciali agevolazionf eli
furono concessi due tre fogli in pi1
di quelli regolamentari.
