...heard, but the Don Juan which followed can be spoken of only in glowing superlatives. Also heard during this hour and a half of musical ecstasy was an-almost-equal-to-Toscanini Brahms' Variations on a theme of Haydn, and three choral selections sung by the Cocilia Society and Apollo Clubs of Boston. These included Brahms' "Ein Schicksalslied" (A, Song of Destiny). Wolf's "Der Fuerreiter" (The Fire Riders) and the Borodin Polovetzian Dances from "Prince Igor." The flawlessness of their singing, their round, full warm tone all made for a perfect appearance with Dr. Koussevitsky. As an astute listener...
Contented by all this is a 5 ft. 4 in., 291 Ib. Negro vocalist named Jimmy Rushing, who last week was shouting Mister Five By Five with Count Basic's band at Harlem's Apollo Theater. Jimmy Rushing knew who the U.S. public was singing about. It was singing about Jimmy Rushing...

Perfection that "Swan Lake" may be, the show was stolen by this season's newcomer, "Pillar of Fire." It took this super-choreographic and tragic ballet to really rouse the audience, but even the dowagers stood up in the boxes and clapped...
...musine masses scurry tirelessly among the grasses, destroying grain, trees, any other vegetation they can get their teeth into. Then they vanish from the desolated fields as if they had sunk back again into the earth, which remains sieved with their burrows. Fear of their visitations is age-old: Apollo protected the ancients against them. In North Brabant, Holland, St Gertrude is prayed to as a protectress against mice...
