...very fine artists are also to be heard this week. Tomorrow evening in Jordan Hall, Povla Frijsh, famous Danish soprano, is giving a long and varied program which bids fair to be something quite out of the ordinary and well worth hearing. Songs by Schubert, Grieg, Moussorgsky, Debussy, Sibelius, and Ravel are included in the imposing list which gives one every reason to believe that the superlatives which she earned in her New York reviews were more than justified. The other artist is Mischa Elman, noted violinist...

...after hours. Deciding that there were enough painters, and that a writer's tools were less expensive, he took to wandering around the Mediterranean countries, "learning to drink wine and to tighten my belt from time to time." Other places seen: the Austro-Italian front (as a war-artist), South America (where he was lost in the Gran Chaco). At 36 he is married, settled at The Hague. One other novel of Fabricius', Lions Starve in Naples, has been published...
