Italian Painter,
Foe of Nazis,
Assaulted

NEW YORK, May II U.S).
Michael Califano, Italian artist
who has been aiding the cause of
Jewish exiles from Nazi Germany,
was brutally assaulted yesterday
by three men who SlaShed to rib
bons Is of his paintings, the bulk
of his life's work.
Califano was at work in his
studio when one of them asked
for a postcard reproduction of
Califano's mural, "The Ignominy
of the Twentieth Century" which
portrays Prof. Albert Einstein,
Adolf Hitler and storm trooper,
the latter two scowling at the
savant.
Some 100000 copies of the re-
production have been circulated
throughout the world, the pro-
ceeds going to aid refugees from
Germany.
AS the artist turned to get one
of the cards, he was seized and
dragged 20 feet to a steam pipe,
to which the assailants bound him.
One forced the muZzle of a re-
vo,7er into Califano's mouth and
warned against an outcry. The
others walked about the studio,
ripping the canvases.
They slashed the figure of Elm
stein in the mural, which was
hanging in the studio, but left un.
scathed the Hitler and trooper
images. ,

The Silent Woman

Considerable stir has been
caused in Europe over the recent
premier at Dresden, of a new
opera by Richard Strauss entitled
1.-THE Silent WON n" ode
Schweigsame Frau. Which re-
minds us of the reply Irwin Cobb
made p a gushing young lady fol-
lowing lecture to a ladies' club.
He was asked whether he pre-
ferred the talkative kind of wom-
an or the other kind. Cobb quietly
asked: What other kind?"
However, the opera brings up
the question of what language an
opera should be performed in.
The story of the opera is taken
from an English story by Ben
johnson, translated into German
by Zweig. Now if, as some claim,
an opera must be sung in the
original language in order to get
the proper atmosphere, what is
the proper language for 1.-THE ST.
