A suave, cautious-speaking man of 52, he has helped virtually every major studio with First National loans. But the Warner Brothers deal was not a bank matter, Semenenko said; it was "a personal venture...
...coquetry to her attempts to snap Orpheus out of his infatuation with the horse.

An early Prokofief work, the concerto finds the composer in a lyrical mood and is one of the few entirely successful concerti of this century...
...sentiments expressed in hillbilly music are far from subtle, but they are forthright ("I've been workin' hard the whole week long/But I'm gonna have some wine, women and song"), candid ("If she's a honkytonk angel, I'm the devil that made her that way"), sincere ("I mean a lot to my Mom and Pop/I just hope I mean somethin...
