9. (STILL)Italian actor Enrico Maria Salerno and the two German twin sisters, dancers-actresses Alice and Ellen Kessler, rehearse a scene of a new musical show on April 7, 1967, “Viol, violin and love-viol”, which is prepared in Rome, Italy. The text is by the two well-known Italian scriptwriters Garinei and Giovannini, with music by Armando Trovaioli. The starring roles are played by Salerno, who is at his first attempt in a stage performance, and by the two twin sisters. Salerno is the violin, Miss Alice is the viol, his shrewd wife, while the love-violin (Miss Ellen) is an invention or imagination by Salerno, perfectly resembling the wife, but of a completely different and lovely character.
