OCTOBER, 1955MONTHLY DINNER, SEPTEMBER 24th, 1955A larger than average number of members attended the monthly dinner tobe reminded of the Spring show "La Poule Grillel'and to hear of Mazzoleni's travels.The President welcomed by name some of those present: Past-Presidents andguests. He also referred to the forthcoming installation of a cocktail bar and saidthat some day members would be receiving a special invitation to an inaugurationlunch. He did not know whether cocktails would be supplied free; upon which theTreasurer was observed to shake his head vigorously, meaning, "only over my dead* body".The President invited Ernest Morgan to make a special announcement, whichwas to the effect that the C.B.C. was devoting the whole of a Wednesday Night programme,on October 12th, to the music and life of Dr. Healey Willan. From 7:30 to10 p.m. over the Trans Canada network - CBL in Toronto.After dinner Alan Collier showed slides taken by him at the Poule Grille'eshow in the Spring. In this collection of pictures the Club has an excellent recordof this successful show and of many of those who took part or attended this occasion.Ettore Mazzoleni then gave a picturesque and humorous account of his travelsin Italy this past summer. He said he and his wife planned a complete holiday,escape from music, from Toronto and duties. No music festivals, no tourist routes,no snapshots! They travelled in their own car in a leisurely way without too muchplanning. Their trip was a complete success, marred only by their loss in Rome byrobbery of Mrs. Mazzoleni's purse, which, by a combination of circumstances, containecalmost all their cash, travellerst cheques and passports. They never did recover theactual cash but after considerable delay obtained duplicates of the cheques andpassports.SIn London they were warned of probable trouble at border points as the nameon their passports was Mazzoleni while that on the car license was Van Valkenburg.However, by handing one document to one official and the other to a different officialeverything went smoothly. He said that although he was born in Switzerland near theItalian border, he had never been in Italy before and knew little or nothing of thelanguage.
I2.iTheir introduction to Italy was over 66 miles of autostrada, with thescenery obscured every few feet by billboards. Their route took them into Yugoslavia.where they found bad roads, poor accommodation and appalling poverty so depressingthat they left quickly.Back in Italy he spoke of the unique beauty of Venice; Amalfi, the highspot for scenery; Naples, where they saw a ludicrously hammy performance of "Tosca";Pompeii, where they had an unusually intelligent guide; Rome; Florence.
