Singer to Appear
At Water Gate
On August %

Blackouts in Sicily are probably
the rule right now rather than
the exception, but Lillian Evanti
remembers one there about 10 years
ago which took everyone by sur
prise.
1t occurred during the colored
opera singers four years stay in
Italy, during which she spent three
months on the island singing the
lead roles in 'LAfricana" and La
Traviata." One night before a per-
Torrance of La Traviata,'' the
electricity went off while the cast
was making up.
I'VE had to make up by candle
light, just like in olden times"
she recalls. Fortunately, the lights
came on again before the curtain
went up, but it was quite an
experience"
Native of Washington.
Miss Evanti, a native of Washing
ton who lives in cream-colored
brick house on Vermont avenue, will
appear in the National Negro Opera
Company's presentation of La Ira
viata' at the Water Gate on Au-
gust %.
She was in Italy at the time of
Mussolini's rise to power, and in
Germany during the early days of
Hitler's regime One felt then, she
said, the growing rise of distrust
and fear among the people of both
countries.
1t was necessary at all times,
she said, for every one, even visiting
Americans, to be cautious in speech.
In restaurants and even in pri-
vate homes in Italy, she declared,
I'VE Americans always spoke of
Mussolini as Mr.. James because
we never knew when some one
listening would make Wrons
translation and misinterpret our
meaning
She remembers the case of
banker friend, supposedly on good
terms with Mussolini, who suddenly
came into disfavor and was rushed
off to prison without even a chance
to bid his family good-by.
