Last week with Premier Stoyadinovitch in Rome, Acting Premier Koroshets was able to make good his effort to drive Writer Harrison from Belgrade...
...Livornese macaroni maker, 34-year-old Masini worked once as a stevedore, then as a mechanic, was sent to Milan by admiring townsmen. He claims that he never took a singing lesson, that the Milanese taught him only repertory. He made a debut in Livorno (Tosca) in 1928 and has sung since at La Scala and other leading European opera-houses...
