Pompeii May Fete Promises Roman Era Pageantry
The Philadelphia Call quotes a humorous tip about polishing windows by breathing on them and a Missouri editor painting a barn with a breath and brush, then shifts to a Pompeii festival at the start of May. Emperor’s visit, circus games, chariot races, and shops decked to resemble eighteen hundred year old life. A marriage, a funeral, and gladiatorial events are planned across the festival days.
