BY CARL L. DENIES
Ezio Pima, the Metropolitan
Opera bass-baritone, who will ap-
pear in joint recital with Helen
Jepson, soprano, at the Mayflower
Hotel January 18, in the series Of
Morning MusicaleS, is addicted to
one of the strangest hobbies
imaginable.
He is a collector of poison rings,
an amusement which first caught
his fancy years ago, when, examin
ing an ancient Roman ring which
was a family heirloom, he &C
cidentally touched hidden spring
and the stone swung up on a
hinge.
Mr.. Pima, exhibiting a dozen
or so Of his exquisite little gems,
each with its sinister concealed
opening, explains that the rings
were used in Roman times pri-
marily as an instrument for sui
eide. One had an onyx, followed
out, with the shell thin enough
so that the wearer might bite
through and swallow the poison.
Another type Of poison ring in
Mr.. Pinza's collection dates from
the Renaissance and was used not
for suicide, but for murder. This
type has tiny spikes, intended to
inject venom into the victim while
shaking hands: others have small
claws to grip the finger when the
ring is put on. Mr.. Pima will be
heard on the General Motors
Radio Concert next Sunday eve.
