IN Italy, in the very old town of San Gimignano, where, hundreds of years ago, Dante preached to the people, stands an ancient church. Friends of mine visiting here last autumn were astonished to see a young man of the fifteenth century kneeling, in religious abandonment, at the foot of the altar. It was Tyrone Power. He had stolen away from the “Prince of Foxes” company, on location at San Gimignano, to make his devotions. For Tyrone is an ardent, practising Catholic. When he married the divorced Annabella, he was somewhat estranged from his Church for a time. But he does not mean this to happen again.

Tyrone’s clothes had come from his tailor. Gene Markey, in Rome to serve as best man, had his wedding finery. The Countess DiFrasso’s beautiful house had been rented. We all had been invited to a wedding breakfast. And we went to a wedding breakfast too — even though no wedding preceded it. That breakfast was something to behold.
