ITALIAN EROTICO-TOURISTICO-SENTIMENTAL RHAPSODY ENTITLED ADVENTURES AT CAPRI. IN ONE OF THE SCENES, PERHAPS THE BEST OF THE FILM, ONE SEES TWO YOUNG GIRLS SITTING AT A TABLE BY THEMSELVES, TO WHOM THE HABITUAL "JULES" MAKES HIS COARSE PROPOSITIONS. THE ONLY ANSWER IS THAT THE TWO GIRLS SQUEEZE EACH OTHER'S HANDS, AND THUS THE TIE WHICH UNITES THEM APPEARS INCONTESTABLY BETTER EXPRESSED THAN BY WORDS..... THE OTHER EPISODE IS THE TENTATIVE CORRUPTION BY A VERY EFFEMINATE MAN OF MAURIZIO ARENA.....'

"RECEIVED THE LADDER TODAY AND READ WITH GREAT INTEREST THE REFERENCE TO THE LP 13 '3 OBOLI TO APHRODITE. (THE LADDER FOR FEBRUARY 1960.)

"THIS STRUCK A CHORD IN ME BECAUSE I HAVE ENJOYED PIERRE LOUYS FOR SOME TIME. AS WELL, THERE IS ANOTHER LP, COL. ML2184, IN WHICH JENNIE TOUREL SINGS THREE CHANSONS DE BILITIS (OF LOUYS) ON ONE SIDE, SET TO PIANO AND VOICE BY DEBUSSY. ON THE OTHER SIDE ARE THREE CHANSONS MADICASSES, ORCHESTRATED BY RAVEL FOR VOICE, PIANO, FLUTE AND 'CELLO; VERSE BY E, PARRY. THIS RECORD CAME OUT IN 1951."

A READER WROTE US IN THE MARCH ISSUE ADVISING WHERE THE RECORD OF "30BOLI TO APHRODITE" COULD BE OBTAINED. SHE SUBSEQUENTLY WROTE AGAIN TO STATE THAT THE ADDRESS WAS ERRONEOUS; THE FIRM NO LONGER CARRIEB THE RECORD. -ED.

"IT IS VERY ENCOURAGING TO SEE THE GREAT WORK YOU FOLKS ARE DOING. I AM INTERESTED IN KNOWING IF THERE IS A CHAPTER OFFICE ANYWHERE NEAR THE DETROIT AREA. (SORRY, THERE ISN'T.

-ED.)

"❘ HAPPEN TO BE ONE OF THE MORE FORTUNATE PEOPLE WHO DO NOT HAVE TO LIVE TWO LIVES FOR THE BENEFIT OF SOCIETY, ETC., BECAUSE I HAVE NO FAMILY TIES AND MY JOB IS SUCH THAT NO DIFFERENCE IS NOTED."
