Prize Won't Halt Him Pirandello recently completed a :play on a large scale called “Giants of the Mountain,” which he had intended for America be- cause of the extensive stage set- ting required. He now is putting on the Italian stage a play called “One Doesn’t Know How.” And he is drafting the outlines of another play. + “That’s past, present and future,” he said. “One thing leads {to another. So you see I a’m go- ing to keep busy. The Nobel prize will not bring any halt to my work.” Fascist In Thought Pirandello is a fascist, wears a fascist button, and uttered a ; fascist sentiment when he said he ; was glad he had won the Nobel ‘prize because of the honor this brings Italy. He is the third Italian to re ceive this award. The second was the woman writer Grazia Deledda. Asked how hep’ to | work, Pirandello first lit a cigar- ette.
