...Carl Ebert. With Austrian Impresario Rudolf Bing as General Manager, the first Glyndebourne opera season was launched. It lasted two weeks; the audience for the opening performance numbered twelve. But Christie, Busch, Ebert and Bing were undiscouraged. The press gave them a big hand. In 1936 they enlarged their auditorium, planned a bigger season for the following year. By the end of the 1936 season they were playing to full houses. Last year, all of Glyndebourne's seats were sold before its seven-week season had begun...

Meanwhile last week, put under Nazi lock & key near Salzburg...
...first game of the playoff, staged in San Francisco's Civic Auditorium, a slippery floor confused both teams. With Luisetti as high man scoring 20 points, Stanford won, 52-to-39. In the second game, played in Stanford's small Pavilion ("Cracker Box"), Luisetti's teammates began feeding him shots in the hope of bringing his scoring record to 1,600. Though Stanford again won, 59-to-51, he and they failed-by four points...
