...Concerto for Violin, Violoncello, Piano, and Orchestra by Alfredo Casella will also be played with the composer at the piano and with the other solo parts being taken by members of his own Trio Italiano. Casella is an Italian-one of the few important modernists of that country. A most gifted musician, he has made many tours in America, and only last year gave an interesting concert in Sanders Theatre.

...Grand Hotels throughout Italy there was Alfredo Campione, their spade-bearded, up-from-busboy managing director. He it was who pulled that de luxe chain out of the hole after the War and he it was who managed to pay a 5% dividend last year when most of the world's hotels were lucky to pay taxes. Now 61, Hotelman Campione is one of the few holders of the order of the Cavaliére del Lavoro (Knight of Labor), awarded by the Crown to self-made Italians...

This week Alfredo Salmaggi moved on to Philadelphia, thus ending in Manhattan a three-week war over 99? opera. At the Hippodrome a second season was in full swing, with an average attendance of 4,000 a night (capacity: 5,000). Pasquale Amato, genial oldtime Metropolitan baritone, had supplanted Salmaggi as artistic director. Salmaggi had tried to compete at the Broadway Theatre a few blocks away. Both had the same standard repertory in which Verdi predominated. But last week Amato played the deciding trump when he engaged 40 Metropolitan choristers, 40 Metropolitan orchestramen, made an honest bargain...

Echoes of the suicide last fortnight of Cuba's Secretary of Justice Roberto Mendez Penate (TIME, April 16) died last week among the funeral dirges for old Alfredo Zayas, Cuba's fourth President, who died naturally (see p. 72). President Mendieta accepted the resignation of Penate's brother Rodolfo as Secretary of Labor and persuaded Secretary-Without-Portfolio Carlos Saladrigas, who had also sent in his resignation, to take the dead Penate's job. Then he called his cabinet into two all-day sessions from which he emerged, pale but triumphant, with three of the smartest...
