...collected scores not only of Johann Strauss but of other 19th-Century waltz-men-Strauss's father Johann, his father's teacher and rival Joseph Lanner, his brothers Joseph and Eduard Strauss. Collector Lowenberg acquired 1,644 pieces of music. His family, on their uppers just after Anschluss, looked for a purchaser for the collection, found one in the U. S. Library of Congress. According to Dr. Karol Liszniewski, Cincinnati musician who arranged the deal, the Library paid Lowenberg's widow $700, a fraction of the collection's worth...
...money, and to keep it . . . with no thought for the world that crowds steadily in upon this would-be tight little island." He was in Spain when Franco drove to the Mediterranean in April 1938, when Barcelona fell.

It is our responsibility not to force the Fiihrer in any way in the tempo he has chosen to rectify the wrong done by forceful separation of Danzig...
...Danube (by Burnet Hershey) is the season's fifth anti-fascist fiasco. Like the others it falls short in imagination and scope. Unlike the others, it manages-simply as a florid, stagy melodrama-to keep moving. The story of a noble Austrian family who get in dutch after Anschluss, it tells of a beautiful princess who, to save her brother's life, agrees to marry a brutal Nazi Commissioner, of a sly old grandfather who has the winning card up his sleeve. In the end the harassed nobles get safely across the frontier-into Ruritania...
