Swiss Students
Duel In Secret
To (dear Honor
(/P) Newsfeatures
BERN, Switzerland — The an
cient sport of dueling still flour
ishes in Switzerland among uni
versity students although it is for
bidden by law.
The matches, whether for fenc
ing practice or to settle a grudge,
take places secretly, generally in
a remote country inn. Second for
the contestants, an umpire and a
doctor always are present. Should
the duelers, members of 11 stu
dent clubs which sponsor the
sport, be caught, they face im
prisonment, or a fine and confis
cation of weapons.
' Dueling is not as dangerous as
one might think,” an alumnus of
a dueling fraternity said. “A
wounded fencer seldom has to be
taken to the hospital.”
To prevent wounds, duelers pro
tect their eyes, throat, arms and
chests. Sabers and raniers are dis
infected regularly.
Giving the reason for continua
tion the old sport a veteran
dueler said “it is not important to
win such a match. Most important
is to behave as a man should be
have in the face of danger.”

“You have a nice voice,” said
tenor Charles Kullman. Pride 1 it
Baritone Handsaker like a neo

Our little harmonizing experi
ment climaxed an interview at
the studio where Kullman, 43,
thick-cheeked, lively veteran of
some 25 operas in 10 years at the
Met, is playing a role in the movie.
“Shahrazad.” He’s the officer-uni
formed doctor on a Russian sail
ing vessel in 1365 who encourages
Seaman Nicky Rimsky-Korsakov
in musical composition by singing
his melodies. Jean Pierre Aumont
plays the composer.
Kullman is. brown-eyed, friend
ly, intense. His gray-flecked hair
was slicked back with make-up
grease. Parent heses-shaped lines
border his full-lipped mouth.
"I was born in New Haven,
Conn., and planned to be a doctor.”
He smiled at the coincidence in
his movie role. “I studied pre
medics at Yale but got into the
glee club, became its soloist and
decided to follow a musical ca
reer.”
Did he think the movies had in
fluenced opera?
“Yes, indeed. Opera is becom
ing more glamorous; the public is
demanding visual satisfaction as
well as vocal. In the old days pri
ma donnas were pretty hefty.
Schumann-Heink, for instance, or
Tetrazinni or Marcella Sembrich.
“Today you see singers like Lily
Pons, Patrice Munsel, Eleanor
Steeber and the Brazilian. Bidu
Cayao—all visual delights. Kirsten
Flagstad was not glamoruos but
she had a nice appearance; you
might say she represented the
transition period. She’s also the
greatest Wagnerian singer of all
time.”
As for men. Kullman recalled
the time the Met audience gig
gled when plump Beniamino Gigli
entered the stage in a skirt above
his knees for La Giamonda. “To
day you see young-looking men

‘‘Any man who can get 10.000,

something that will go on for
ever.”
