NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, SATURDAY, JULY 12, 1930. 13 BATTISTI HONORED BY FASCIST PARTY Patriotic Societies Lay Wreaths§ on Martyr's Grave Trento, Italy, July 12 (B — The! Patriotic societies of this former Austrian city, the Fascists and the | ex-service men at their head. today | Tepaired to the monument of Cesare | Battisti, the Nathan Hale of modern | Italy, and there laid wreaths to| commemorate the 14th anniversary | of his death. Cesare Battisti is reverenced as| one of the foremost of the martyrs of “Italia Irrendenta,” or unredeem- ed Ttaly, of which this province of | Trentino formed a part before the | late war. An avowed socialist, but | an Malian patriot first of all, he| struggled all his life to reunite his| fellow Italians under the Hapsburg | Yoke to their mother country. | Mussolini His Friend | Mussolini was one of hfs intimate | friends, and a regular contributor to Battisti's newspaper, 1l Popolo, of this city. When Italy in 1815 entered the war on the allied side, Battisti stole | &cross the border and joined as a| volunteer, knowing full well the fate in store for him, as an Austrian sub- | ject, should he be captured. A | little over a year after he had don-| ned the uniform of the country of | his -heart, he was taken prisoner. Austrian military justice was swift and unbending. On July 12, 1916, he was hanged as a fraitor in the | stle of Buon Consiglio. Similar exercises in honor of the soldier-martyr were held throughout the kingdom in the course of the | day. There is hardly a city of any | size that has no street re-baptized | in honor of the Trentino patriot, and | many of them have votive stones in their cemeteries or public squares recalling his sacrifice. Black Shirts Claim Him Although he met his end over three years before the founding of | Fascism, the black shirts of today claim Cesare Battisti as one of their own, as a percursor of their move- ment. In many localities they commemorated him with the stern Fascist rite, an officer of the mili- tia calling out his name, the assem- bled party members shouting “‘pres- ent!” in repl NEGRO GOLD STAR MOTHERS EMBARK 60 Begin Pilgrimage to Sons' Graves in France New York., July 12 (A — Sixty Negro gold star mothers embarked at Hoboken on the §. S. American Merchant today for France, to visit the graves of their sons By themselves they form one unit of the pilgrimage, made possible by an act of congress for all war mot ers whose boys never came home. Among them was Mrs. Lucy M. branch of the Pittsburgh, Y. W. C. branch of the iPttsburgh Y. W. C.| A.. whose son, Howard, was in the first contingent of Negro boys sent overseas “I had to come, for my sake as well as for father she said today. “Father’'s walked the floor most of the time since Howard was killed— by stepping on a cable that carried 00,000 volts, after he had come gafely through all the rest of it “We'd expected him to do won- derful things for his race. He was a man—that's all. He never even unfolded his exemption papers that I got for him because he worked in the post office. We found them all folded up in his blue suit when it was sent home.” The mothers who sailed today were given a reception yesterday at the city hall—the first reception given any of the mothers since the one for the first contingent | “DEAR BRUTUS" AT BRISTOL | The second week of the summer scason of the excellent Manhattan Repertory Theater company at the | Bristol Community theater will he ushered in on Monday with Sir James Matthew Barrie's famous comedy “Dear Brutus® as the bill Appearing in the Barrie play will be Margaret Wycherly, Louise Prussing, | May Ediss.

Lands Two in Station New York, July 12 (P—A self- styled Diogenes was in jail today because police doubted his search for an honest man. “Pardon me, gentlemen,” he said as he approached two men in Central park, “I am a stranger here and am in search of two honest men to help me dispose of $10,000 left by my sister for dis- tribution among the poor of New York. Can you help me?" Temistocle Freppoli nudged his companion, Harry Masley, and said, “I am sure we are the men for you." So the modern Diogenes, other- | wise Jacob Dolish, produced a package which he said contained the $10,000, but before turning it over suggested the two prove they were no paupers themselves. On the advice of Freppoli. Masley started for his bank to take out $30,000 as proof, but stopped at a police station for more advice. The police, as is their wont, were suspicious and thought they would like to see this modern Diogenes themselves. They did, and now Diogenes and his pal, Freppoli, are in jail for attempt- ing to work a flimflam game.

Dixie Lee, whose blonde beauty won her general approbation in her with “Why Home?" and “Let's ‘G6 Places." gives a splendid performance in this, r first leading role. Sue Carol and ‘Walter Catlett are splendid in the other featured parts. The supporting cast is perfectly chosen, headed by such favorites as “Whispering” Jack Smith, Frank Albertson and Richard Keene, Douglas Gilmore Tlka . Elizabeth Patter and Dorothy Brown also enact note- orthy roles. Catlett and Judels are especially funny as the two bickering and wife-dodging partners and Harlan Thompson's story and dialog is both clever and entertain- ing. The song numbers, particularly “Biuer Than Blue Over You" and “I'm Climbing Up a Rainbow." are cztchy and are already becoming popular.
