...These Roman actors live very well," observed Jason Robards. "It was trie perfect party, and I just loved meeting Lauren Bacall," gushed Claudia Cardinale. "Gee, I don't remember if I went to a party or not," admitted Faye Dunaway, 27, who was in Rome for her latest film, The Lovers, and was the sight for all eyes at a bash given by Italian Actor Vittorio Gassman. "La Dolce Vita's dead," explained Gassman, "so I called it the 'California Roman Party' to honor the foreigners in town." From the sound of it, La Dolce Vita...

When the Bolshoi Opera crossed the Atlantic last year to Montreal's Expo 67, it lugged along 95 choristers, 48 soloists, 99 instrumentalists, 50 dancers, 127 staff assistants, 193 tons of scenery and five tons of Russian edibles. When Rome's Piccolo Teatro Musicale arrived in Manhattan last week, there was a little less to be seen-a handful of singers and players, one slightly overweight conductor, and a compact bundle of slats, screws and canvas that weighed scarcely more than a ton. But when the slats and canvas were screwed together into a miniature Neapolitan theater...
