...overrode his doctor's and his wife's pleas not to play, was fortified with drugs. Close to fainting at the keyboard, he had to omit the last brief selection on the program, Chopin's Waltz No. 2 in A Flat. Now, in a 2-LP Angel album, record buyers can listen to that last amazing recital and sample the artistry that made Lipatti one of the finest pianists of the postwar generation...
...federal cabaret tax plainly had something to do with it (instrumental music only, without dancing or floor show, is not considered entertainment under the law, hence is tax-free). The Vanguard's Max Gordon (who also owns a part of Manhattan's still flourishing Blue Angel supper club) blames the shift to the suburbs: "My old customers have been lost to Great Neck." Broadway Producer Richard Kollmar once accused the LP record: "When you had the 78s, you had to get up and change the damned things every few minutes, so you got bored and went...
...painting shows the Virgin kneeling in adoration of the Christ child, who is being held in the arms of an angel. When it first arrived in the U.S. it was a somewhat different painting.

...devil eats flies." But how did he ever manage, in the puny form of Adolf Hitler, to gobble up all those meaty burghers of the German middle class? How could so many "good Germans" have been so bad? This picture, based on a play by Carl (The Blue Angel) Zuckmayer and magnificently directed by Helmut Käutner (The Captain of Köpenick), gives an answer that apparently satisfies the Germans. Made in Hamburg in 1955, the movie has been running for 18 months in West Germany and has grossed 4,000,000 DM. But the U.S. moviegoer, while...
