seum, for the amusement of
thrill-seeking emperors and their
guests, is so constructed that it
could be flooded with water and
naval battles staged herein. Prac-
tically every type of sport, game
an system of torture has at one
time or another been staged here.
One reads often oft he old chival-
rous days when the gladiators con-
tested there. The fate of their
conquest, whether it be victory or
defeat, was decided by the vote of
the Vestal Virgins, who as far &a
history can prove, first incorporat-
ed the idea of "thumbs down" for
dejection and "thumbs up" for
approval. In the lower arches the
trap doors still remain where the
wild beasts were let into the
arena at the time of Christian
martyrdom. Tickets to these
famous events were made of iv-
ory, and bone. Years later, in
commemoration of such sacrifice,
the Passion Play was regularly
presented there. Still, during
Holy Week, special services are
held here. On both the left and
right sides of the Coliseum are
Imperial Gates. This was made
ncessary since after construction
the Imperial box was moved to
the opposite side of the arena in
order that it might be connected
with the Emperor's Palace by a
subterranean passage. The plebian
sect'on of the Coliseum was at
the extreme top. To the left of
the building, as we exit, is the
old Aqueduct and the famous Ro-
man Baths.

The production of a really fine musical has been long awaited,
but its here and is entitled to one of the loudest handclappings in
theatre history. Deanna Durbin, star of "100 Men and a Girl" has

this, a mature singing voice that hits .high c's with nary a falter. She
