Flagship of the British Grand Fleet in 1914 was Jellicoe's Iron Duke. She lay anchored last week in Scapa Flow at almost the exact spot near the Calves (rocks) of Cava where Reuter's ships went down.

Magnificently acted by Frank Morgan, Fredric March and Constance Bennett, directed with delicacy by Gregory La Cava, The Affairs of Cellini is an uproarious and gracefully ribald costume play, rarely informative but almost always funny...
...village's patron saint and include concerts, processions and evening illuminations. The society of San Giueppe di Riesi will celebrate July 28-30 and that of San Giuseppe di Pietra on Aug. 4-6. Others who have not yet set a date are those of Maria Santissima della Cava di Pletraperzia, San Calegro di Sciacca and the Madonna di Anzano...
