Roman Holiday FINAL Roman Holiday’s 15 Journalists 98 Roman Holiday’s 15 Journalists The Faces and Stories Behind the Final Scene in William Wyler’s Film Mario Tedeschini-Lalli Deputy Director, Innovation and Development Gruppo Editoriale L’Espresso Rome, Italy [email protected] Roman Holiday is the 1953 film directed by William Wyler that features Audrey Hepburn as a young princess roaming the city in search of escape from her tedious, regimented schedule alongside Gregory Peck, who is cast as a penniless American journalist stuck in Rome. In helping Hepburn (Princess Anne), Peck (Joe Bradley) Roman Holiday’s 15 Journalists 99 forgoes his greatest scoop for love and honor. It’s a light-hearted comedy that has nothing to do with “real” journalism, right? What a lot of viewers may not realize is that Roman Holiday is full of bona fide journalists. The relevant scene — as connoisseurs know — is the final one. Princess Anne, back in her official capacity after 24 hours of folly, holds a press conference — during which, showing a lack of professional realism, there don’t seem to be many journalists taking notes or even holding paper and pencil. In the short exchange (journalists ask only three bland questions), the princess manages to obliquely communicate with her beloved, but already lost, American journalist, who guarantees her that he will keep his mouth shut about the crazy day they spent together. After the Q&A and a photo op, the master of ceremonies asks everybody to leave, but the princess breaches protocol, steps down from the stage, and personally greets each correspondent. They introduce themselves by name and news organization. Although the circumstance is mentioned in specialized books and websites, it is not generally known that the journalists greeted by the princess in three or four different languages were actual Rome correspondents for various international news organizations who used their real names. They were not credited in the film, but the American Film Institute’s website meticulously lists them― albeit with some imprecision. We’ve added a bit of biographical information to those names, hoping to put some professional flesh on what otherwise would remain little more than cardboard cutouts in a popular movie. Here they are, in the order in which the princess greets them. [Please note: Some of the images are from screenshots of a scene preceding the greeting of the journalists by Princess Anne. The journalist speaking is highlighted.] Roman Holiday’s 15 Journalists 100 “Hitchcock, Chicago Daily News” Edward B. Hitchcock, who also addresses a welcome speech to the princess as “head of correspondents,” was a long-time American journalist. He served in World War I as a captain, then remained in Europe as a journalist for 20 years. He covered Mussolini’s march to power in 1922 for the Chicago Daily News, and the Munich crisis of 1938 for the Christian Science Monitor from London. He married opera singer Myrna Sharlow, and they lived in Capri for 10 years. Hitchcock acted as a special counselor to Czechoslovakia President Edvard Beneš during his official trip to the U.S in 1939. Between 1940 and 1941 Hitchcock treaded the college lecture circuit. After the war he was apparently back as a correspondent for the Chicago newspaper — but it should be noted that to this day, it is common for foreign correspondents in Italy to be freelancers accredited by different news organizations. The Chicago Daily News was an afternoon paper published between 1876 and 1978. Roman Holiday’s 15 Journalists 101 “Scanziani, de La Suisse” A prolific writer, Piero Scanziani was a Swiss citizen who had a brush with fascism in his youth, then moved away from it in 1938 when anti-Semitic racial laws were introduced in Italy. During the war, Scanziani was head of the Italian services of the ATS news agency and of the Swiss radio news program. His residence in Bern was, for a while, the meeting point for many Italian political émigrés. In 1945 he moved to Rome as a correspondent for different Swiss newspapers. He went back to Ticino — the Italian speaking region of Switzerland — in 1971, where he mostly studied oriental mystics and where he died in 2003 at the age of 95. Scanziani was also a dog lover and a noted expert on canine breeding, who among other things founded and edited the specialized Italian monthly Cani di tutte le razze. La Suisse, the newspaper mentioned in the movie, was an old Geneva daily that folded in 1994. Roman Holiday’s 15 Journalists 102 “Kurt Klinger, Deutsche Presse Agentur” Born in Berlin in 1914, Kurt Klinger arrived in Rome a few years before the shooting of the film as a correspondent for the German news agency DPA to cover Italy and especially — as it happens with many Rome correspondents — the Vatican. In 1950 Pope Pius XII awarded him a medal for his coverage of the Holy Year, the only one awarded to a non-Catholic journalist (Klinger was evangelical) , as a bio in one of his books boasts. Klinger lived in Rome for 14 years, where he covered the 1960 Olympic Games, as well as the brief but revolutionary term of Pope John XXIII, about whom he wrote A Pope Laughs, a book translated in many languages. In 1958 Klinger became president of the Foreign Press Club in Italy (Associazione della stampa estera). By the mid-1960s Klinger was in Rio de Janeiro as head of the DPA Brazil bureau ; he ended up chairing the local foreign press association from 1970 through 1974. Roman Holiday’s 15 Journalists 103 “Maurice Montabré, Le Figaro” Maurice Montabré was 63 years old when he kissed Princess Anne’s hand as the actual correspondent for the noted conservative French newspaper Le Figaro, where he published, for example, an obituary of former Italian Prime Minister Alcide De Gasperi in 1954. Before the war Montabré was a fairly famous cultural journalist and music critic. He interviewed Marcel Proust and Claude Debussy, among others, and wrote for many years for L’Intransigeant, France’s leading evening conservative newspaper of the 1920s; the paper ceased publication when Germany occupied France in 1940. After the war Montabré was press attaché at the French embassy in Rome, where he also wrote two novels. He died in 1963. Roman Holiday’s 15 Journalists 104 “Galema, De Linie Amsterdam” The case of Cornelia Agatha Sytske Galema, who went by the name of Sytske, is quite peculiar. The only woman among the journalists attending the conference, she introduces herself as the correspondent for De Linie, a Dutch Catholic weekly that closed in 1964. She was an art historian and the extensive biographical notes found on a website dedicated to her family history do not mention any journalism she may have done―in contrast to her husband Jan Dijgraaf (see below) and her elder brother, IJsbrand, who joined them in Italy in 1962 as a correspondent for the daily De Telegraaf and Dutch public radio AVRO. Sytske died in Rome in 1982 at the age of 68. Roman Holiday’s 15 Journalists 105 “Jacques Ferrier, Ici Paris” Jacques Ferrier introduces himself as correspondent for Ici Paris, a French family weekly founded in 1945, and currently published by the Lagardère Group. Ferrier was a Swiss who — in the following years — would be a correspondent for the Tribune de Genève and other Swiss titles (see, for example, his story on the Alto Adige/South Tyrol crisis published in 1961 in the Journal et feuille d’avis du Valais, closed in 1968). In 1973 the Mursia Company published his book La stampa quotidiana nel mondo (Daily Newspapers of the World), and a review of the book noted that Ferrier was also a teacher and traveled “a lot for UNESCO and FAO.” Roman Holiday’s 15 Journalists 106 “Gross, Davar, Tel Aviv” His goatee and glasses make Otto Gross the most recognizable journalist of the group, but he is also the one about whom it is more difficult to find any personal or professional information. Nonetheless, his bit part managed to receive singularly insulting treatment in a German edition of the film. According to Corrado Lampe (son of Fritz Lampe, see below), Gross, a Jew writing for an Israeli newspaper, became in the dubbing, “Rossi, from Corriere della Sera” (the largest Italian daily). Davar was an important Israeli newspaper owned by Histradut, the trade union federation linked to the Labor Party. Founded in 1925, Davar folded in 1996. Roman Holiday’s 15 Journalists 107 “Cortés Cavanillas, ABC Madrid” Starting in 1945, when he landed in Rome as a correspondent, Julian Cortés Cavanillas wrote more than 7,000 stories for the big conservative newspaper ABC in Madrid. He lived in the Italian capital 21 years and traveled widely as a roving correspondent, covering events in the United Kingdom, Switzerland, Egypt, Israel, Jordan, Portugal, and Germany, among other countries. For a while, Cortés Cavanillas was secretary general of his paper’s newsroom. Cortés Cavanillas was a monarchist, and he used to hang out with royals (Alfonso XIII, the exiled Spanish king, was his first daughter’s godfather, while Umberto II, the last king of Italy, had the same role for Cortés Cavanillas’s third child). Cortés Cavanillas died in Madrid in 1991 at age 82. His paper published a long essay about him to celebrate the centennial of his birth. Roman Holiday’s 15 Journalists 108 “Lampe, New York Herald Tribune” Friedrich Lampe, usually called Fritz, arrived in Rome from his native Leipzig in 1939 as a stringer for German titles. He was drafted for the war, but was sent back to Rome as an interpreter in a propaganda unit of the German army.

  • ROBINSON, WILLIAM E.: Papers, 1935-69
    DWIGHT D. EISENHOWER LIBRARY ABILENE, KANSAS ROBINSON, WILLIAM E.: Papers, 1935-69 William E. Robinson held positions as a newspaper executive with the New York Evening Journal (1933-36) and the New York Herald Tribune (1936-54), directed his own public relations firm of Robinson-Hannegan Associates (1954-55), and served as president and chairman of the board of Coca-Cola, Inc. (1955-61). In addition to having a long and distinguished career in business, Mr. Robinson also enjoyed a long and close personal friendship with Dwight D. Eisenhower, dating from their first meeting in World War II until their deaths in 1969. Mr. Robinson’s papers reflect both his business career and, especially, his association with Dwight D. Eisenhower. Mr. Robinson first met General Eisenhower in 1944 when the former was in Europe to reestablish publication of the Herald Tribune’s European edition. Their association became more intimate in 1947 when Mr. Robinson prevailed upon the General to write his World War II memoirs. According to arrangements worked out by Mr. Robinson, General Eisenhower’s Crusade in Europe came out in the fall of 1948, published in book form by Doubleday and syndicated to newspapers worldwide by the Herald Tribune. The two men were drawn together by a great admiration and respect for each other’s ideas and judgments, and an abiding common passion for playing bridge and golf. It was Mr. Robinson, in the spring of 1948 after the General had finished drafting his memoirs, who first introduced the Eisenhowers to Augusta National Golf Club. When General Eisenhower became president of Columbia University in New York City, the two had frequent occasions to play bridge together and to enjoy a game of golf at Blind Brook Golf Club where Mr.

  • Wendell Willkie Indiana University School of Law
    Born in Elwood, Indiana, Willkie was a graduate of Indiana University and the Wendell Willkie Indiana University School of Law. After serving in World War I, he moved to Statesman ( 1892 – 1944 ) Akron, Ohio, and in 1919, Willkie married librarian Edith Wilk. In 1929, Willkie became a legal counsel for the New York-based Common- wealth & Southern Corporation, the nation’s largest electric utility holding company. He became C & S’s president in 1933. Willkie was a delegate to the 1932 Democratic Convention, eventually supporting FRANKLIN ROOSEVELT. In 1933, President Roosevelt proposed the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA), a gov- ernment agency that would compete with private power companies, including C & S. Willkie opposed the TVA as his company was unable to compete with the federal government, and he was forced to sell C & S properties in the Ten- nessee Valley to the TVA in 1939. That year Willkie formally switched parties. The three leading candidates for the 1940 Republican nomination were Sena- tors Robert Taft and Arthur Vandenberg, and Thomas E. Dewey. All three men had campaigned vigorously. Willkie seemed an unlikely candidate as he was a former Democrat, but he had received backing from media magnates. Key sup- porters were OGDEN REID of the New York Herald Tribune, RUSSELL DAVENPORT of Fortune magazine, Roy Howard of the Scripps-Howard newspaper chain and JOHN COWLES and GARDNER COWLES, publishers of several newspapers and Look magazine. Willkie consistently spoke of the need to aid the British, in direct contrast with the other leading Republican candidates, who were isolationists. With the sur- render of France on June 25, 1940, and the belief that Britain was under immi- nent threat of invasion, the Republican Convention opened in an atmosphere of unrest.

  • The" Oklahoma Eagle": a Study of Black Press Survival
    DOCUMENT RESUME ED 270 809 CS 209 908 AUTHOR Brown, Karen F. TITLE The "Oklahoma Eagle": A Study of Black Press Survival. PUB DATE Aug 86 NOTE 18p.; Paper presented at the Annual Meeting of the Association for Education in Journalism and Mass Communication (69th, Norman, OK, August 3-6, 1986). PUB TYPE Speeches/Conference Papers (150)-- Reports - Descriptive (141) EDRS PRICE MF01/PC01 Plus Postage. DESCRIPTORS *Black Businesses; Black Employment; Journalism; *Newspapers; Publications; Publishing Industry IDENTIFIERS Family Owned Businesses; *Goodwin (Edward Lawrence); Journalism History; News Reporters; *Oklahoma Eagle ABSTRACT Analyzing the history of the "Oklahoma Eagle" provides insight into the problems and the opportunities involved in operating a black newspaper and reveals the factors re..ponsible for the paper's longevity. The paper has been owned and operated by members of the Edward Lawrence Goodwin family since 1938 and has been staffed by excellent journalists over thecourse of the years. A review of copies of the "Eagle" from the last 9years reveals a number of consistencies. The paper was normally neat and well edited, and contained many ads, particularly in the 1970s. Generally, the paper provided significant news. A member of the Goodwin family listed five factors that have enabled the paper to survive: (1) quality staff; (2) advertising success; (3) size of community; (4) sound relations with the community; and (5) family commitment. Eight years have passed since the death of E. L. Goodwin, and the family-owners have undertaken changes, but they have yetto find solid management footing. The problems of the "Eagle"are typical of the Black press today, and other papers may benefit from the "Eagle's" experience.

  • Mary L. Dudiak ”Brown As a Cold War Case”
    Brown as a Cold War Case Mary L. Dudziak "The United States Supreme Court has given a new definition to unAmericanism," 1 Roscoe Drummond wrote in the European edition of the New York Herald Tribune on May 21, 1954, following the U.S. Supreme Court ruling in Brown v. Board of Education . "It has ruled that segregated public schools are un-Constitutional—and therefore un-American." The Brown decision was timely, he argued, "because it comes at a moment when our leadership of the free peoples demands the best ... of what America is and can be." Drummond was not alone in calling segregation un- American. When the Topeka, Kansas, Board of Education, whose policies were before the Court in Brown , voted to abandon segregation before the Supreme Court ruling came down, a board member commented, "We feel that segregation is not an American practice." By 1954 many Americans had come to that conclusion about segregation, a widely practiced American institution. 1 Hearing speakers in 1954 call segregation "un-American" helps situate the school 2 segregation cases within their cultural context. It was during the first decade of the Cold War, the era of Sen. Joseph R. McCarthy, during the heyday of the House Committee on Un-American Activities, that Brown was decided. American history texts often cover the McCarthy era and the Brown case in separate passages alongside each other, as partners in chronology alone, rather than as part of the same story. The case may seem to sit uncomfortably in the trajectory of the legal history of the 1950s.

  • Post-Presidential Papers, 1961-69 1964 PRINCIPAL FILE Series
    EISENHOWER, DWIGHT D.: Post-Presidential Papers, 1961-69 1964 PRINCIPAL FILE Series Description The 1964 Principal File, which was the main office file for Dwight D. Eisenhower’s Gettysburg Office, is divided into two subseries--a subject file and an alphabetical file. The subject subseries consists of a little over twenty-three boxes of material, and it is arranged alphabetically by subject. This subseries contains such categories as appointments, autographs, endorsements, gifts, invitations, memberships, memoranda, messages, political affairs, publications, statements, and trips. Invitations generated the greatest volume of correspondence, followed by appointments, messages, and gifts. Documentation in this subseries includes correspondence, schedules, agendas, articles, memoranda, transcripts of interviews, and reports. The alphabetical subseries, which has a little over thirty-four boxes, is arranged alphabetically by names of individuals and organizations. It is primarily a correspondence file, but it also contains printed materials, speeches, cross-reference sheets, interview transcripts, statements, clippings, and photographs. During 1964 Eisenhower was receiving correspondence from the public at the rate of over fifty thousand letters a year. This placed considerable strain on Eisenhower and his small office staff, and many requests for appointments, autographs, speeches, endorsements, and special messages met with a negative response. Although the great bulk of the correspondence in this series involves routine matters, there are considerable letters and memoranda which deal with national and international issues, events, and personalities. Some of the subjects discussed in Eisenhower’s correspondence include the 1964 presidential race, NATO, the U.S. space program, the U. S. economy, presidential inability and succession, defense policies, civil rights legislation, political extremists, and Cuba.

  • Roman Holiday
    Roman Holiday The Poems of Meniscus Diabetes A Brief Anthology Edited and translated by Paul Hemphill © 1999 MENISCUS DIABETES A Roman poet of Greek origin, noted for an iconoclastic, and jaunty style. Very little remains of his work. Most of his manuscripts are believed to have been destroyed during the Great Fire of Rome (64 CE). But what has survived has endured as a chronicle of life in the Roman Empire during the early First Century CE. The Perils of a Poet in Nero's Rome In the First century, the Roman Empire was a far-ranging and cosmopolitan polity extending from the shores of the Atlantic to the borders of Persia. As far as we can ascertain from the historical record, Meniscus Diabetes was born in Rome in 25 CE. His father was a Greek slave in the Imperial Household of Tiberius Caesar, Emperor of Rome. These were turbulent times for Rome. But it would appear that Meniscus family were able to maintain a low profile during this period and were thus able to survive the intrigues of the court, and the bloody purges that were to attend the deaths of Sejenus, Tiberius' ambitious lieutenant, Tiberius himself, and his heir, the plausibly mentally unbalanced Caligula. Life in the Roman Imperial court was nothing if not exciting, intrigue and rivalry being the order of the day. Caligula’s eccentricities were many and memorable, none more so than his appointment of his horse Incitatus as a consul (in or own jaded age, we would no doubt say that a horse would be more worthy of office than our own elected representatives).
