Grand Appetite

One evening shortly after his debut in "South Pacific" Ezio Pinza, the show's star performer, visited his favorite restaurant. Ordering his usual twelve-course dinner, he was met with amazement by his new waiter. "What's the matter with you?" Pinza snapped. "I may be singing musical comedy these days but I still eat grand opera!"


Pinza, Ezio (1892-1957) Italian-born American opera singer and actor
