THE AFFAIRS OF CELLINI

The Story Of A Great Lover, A Great Artist-The Most Charming

Rascal Of All Time

(By LEWIS ALLEN BROWNE)

Based on the motion picture by Bess Meredyth, which is coming soon to the King's Theatre.

"Away with you, if you would live"! Benvenuto cried, brandishing the sword at the angry crowd.

By the time the lad is ten, be is anxious to give up his music lessons and learn the trade of a goldsmith! The lusty Benvenuto is growing rapidly!" :

It was not until Benvenuto was. 12 that he got courage to tell his father that he disliked– music- and wished to become a gold- smith. There was a stormy scene over this, but finally, the boy's mother interceding, a compromise was made and Benvenuto was permitted to divide his time be.... tween music and working at the goldsmith's bench and forge

When Benvenuto was 15 Gro- lier was selling many things de-/ aigned by the lad, but, claiming them to be his own work. In his envious heart, Groller knew that already this lad was a greater de- sigtier and artisan than ever be. could be.

During these years lttle Delin Santini, whose life was saved by Benvenuto when she was three, became extremely Iziendly with him. At eight, Della was an ex tremely beautiful child. Ben- venuto, learning of her eighth birthday, made her a pretty little cameo ring the cameo held by two golden cupids.

But the Florentine law was a rigid law and both parties to a fight or brawl had to be punished, the agressors severly; the others lightly.

One Sunday evening Ben- veduto chanced. to be walking home rear the Porta a Pinti when he was astounded and Gio-alarmed to see his brother-having-

a quarrel with a soldier who seemed to be about 20. Both bad swords and before Benvenuto could intervene, they began a duel in which, to Benvenuto's de- light and pride, ~hia stripling brother was acquitting himself. so vallantly that he wounded the soldier and was about to follow. up his advantage.

"All, father, my design, my work, I hoped you would be pleased.".

"Benvenuto," his father said," huskily, there is musle in this work of yours, a different sort of music, music for the eye, rather than the ear. Since it is your de aire, I shall apprentice you out to ar skilled a goldsmith as may he found in Florence!"

"How wonderful, my dear father! How glorious" Benvenuto cried when his father assured him that he might have his heart's desire and become. prenticed to a skilled, goldsmith

"I am glad that you are happy. my son.

Despite his distaste for study Ing music, as his father had forced him to do, Benvenuto loved his father and it grieved to see how sad this decision had made: ht
