HOLLYWOOD
BY SHEILAH GRAHAM

ROME (NANA). - Sophia
Loren, filming Condemned of
Altoona" here for a few days,
told me she learned of the
bigamy charge against her
from her press agent. How
would you like to go to jail?"
he said, with what he hoped
was a smile. What are you
talking about?" she demanded.
The maximum penalty in Italy
is actually five years in prison.
Sophia still can't believe her
case will come to trial. Her as
Sociates are urging her to re-
nounce her Italian citizenship.
Sophia and husband Carlo
POnti already have a home in
Switzerland. But 1 love Italy"
she stated somberly. Il don't
want to leave it."
The first Mrs. Edward G.
Robinson told me in Venice
that the actors current heart
attack is not the first. Hes
had three already and should
not work again for a long, long
time" Eddie is still on the
danger list, and John Wayne
will replace him in Sammy
Going South"
Max Schell gave a twist"
party at his rented villa in
Pisa for 70 members of the
cast and crew of his Con-
demned of Altoona" movie. r. ].
Wagner was twisting up a
storm with his fiance, Marian
DOnen. Max doesn't often give
a party and he did himself
proud with this one-with $50
individual pizza pies, dozens of
bottles of chianti, plus a table
tennis tournamen 1t all
sounds very strenuous.

AFTER DARK.
Unique Is On Apt
Word for MicheI's

Unique is a word that should
not be banded about as freely
as it is banded about. 1t cor
rectly can be applied, however
to the continental-Style cafe
known as Michel's, presided
over by the violinist of the
same name. You'll find it on
Vermont avenue Just above K
street, where refugees from the
twist and all its antecedentS
have been finding it for years.
Michels opened only yester-
day, or what seems like only
yesterday, and now is well into
its goth year. This longevity
is not unique, merely a dis
tinction.
The uniquenesS of Michel's
stems from the fact that it
is the only biStro around here
dedicated to the premise that
those who appreciate food also
appreciate music of the mas
tiers dominated by a violinist
of concert caliber. It's the only
place where concertgoers stop
by on the way home for an
eloquent repeat performance of
almost any concerto or other
classical violin work just heard.
You can strike that word
almost" If Michel hasn't
mastered it, no visiting guest
soloist is likely to play it, Ell
ther. In addition to the stand
ard violin workS-and some not
so standard-Michel's roper
toire includes more than so
compositions by another we'll
known yiolir.iSt, now deceased,
fellow named Paganini. He also
can add two dozen concertoS
of his own composition.
Washington's night people
first met Michel almost three
decades ago, at the old and
ong-departed Russian Troika
when it was the brand-new
Russian Troika. After a con-
siderable term there, he went
on to several other addresses
in town, including No. / Thorn
as Circle, when Matt Windsor
had the Volga Boatman there.
He went to New York for
awhile, then came back here
almost 20 years ago to open
this room of his own, where
he has been ever since.
Even after all these years of
almost nightly musical labors,
Michel still disciplines himself
with daily practice sessions,
learning new numbers and re-
freshing himself on others he
may not have played for some
time. How much practice? 81
try to get in four hours" he
says. Il don't always make it,
but I try"
The years seem not to have
had too serious an effect on
him. He does seem to have be-
come a contemplative and re-
Taxed between-set pipe-smoker.
Time was when a cigarette was
his constant companion, dan
Cling from his lips and wreath
ing him in smoke to accent
the mood when he played soul
full or fiery gypsy refrains.
His constant companion now
is a Guarnerius (fabricat 1920
and acquired by Michel a few
years ago., which wre a t h e S
him in rich, mellow tone in
stead of cigarette smoke.

DINING OUT

1t is a sad thing, indeed, to
hear of the passing of one of
WaShington's old-time great
restaurants.
It's like losing a good friend,
one which. despite a valiant
fight, has lost the battle for
survival.
We refer to Olmsted's, the
landmark dining-out spot at
1886 G street NV, whose
owner. Jimmy Brahms, said a
few days ago is going into
bankruptcy an inauspicious
end, indeed, for a restaurant
which at one time had a rep
utation and income which can
only be described as fabulous,
Papers filed in District court
late last week said the corpora
ton, headed by Mr.. Brahms
had debts totaling $68,563 and
assets of only $6,628. A Mu-
nicipal Court order required
that furnishings and equipment
be removed from the premises
because the corporation was
two months behind in its rent
The familiar chairs and tables
ended up on the sidewalk
pathetic sight, indeed, for area
diners-out.
1t was sad because Olmsted's
was more than just a veteran
in the area restaurant picture
1t was an institution.
Opened in 1900 by the late
Bert L. Olmsted and sold to
Mr.. Brahms in 1912, it ranked
among the oldest restaurants
in the city. If the records are
correct. Just two are older
Harvey's, which dates back more
than 100 years. and the Occi-
dental. at 1411 Pennsylvania
avenue NV, both of which, of
course are still in business.

by Alain Delon, would like most
OF all to get rid of his patron

European bank deposits by as
Stunning the latter's identity. An
incidental target of his greed
is the rich lads attractive, post
adolescent mistress.
Purple Noon" starts on an
eerily evil note which let's the
moviegoer glimpse hostility in
the relationship of the two
young men. True, they drink
together on Rome's fashionable
terraces, play games like pre-
tending to be blind and at
tempting to cross busy
thoroughfares, and, finally
bored with this sort of thing,
decide to pick up Marge and
take a yacht trip to Taorima.
The rich young man is no
dope. He senses the homicidal
hostility of his playmate. More
perilous for him, he finds the
potential violence in the rela-
tionship both challenging and
exciting. Since the rest of ex-
perience provides him with
neither excitement nor chal-
lenge, he decides to keep the
game going to finish.
