...Royal Garden Blues and Wholly Cats. Cootie Williams' muted growl horn stars on Royal Garden, but the outstanding thing about the record is the rhythm section, which is second only to the Count's. As a matter of fact, Basic plays piano here, and shares honors with Artic Bernstein (bass), Charley Christians (electric guitar) and Harry Jaeger (drums). Wholly Cats features the surprise of the year: Georgie Auld off tenor sax. Georgie used to be to the sax what Buddy Rich is to drums. Now he's playing swell horn, modelling his style on 'Coleman Hawkins', and you couldn...
...Christian, but bland-voiced Rabbi Philip S. Bernstein, occasional contributor to The Nation, gave Minister Hanner his pastoral charge. Not from the Bible but from an ancient Jewish book of moral teaching, The Ethics of the Fathers, came Rabbi Bernstein's text. This week tall, grey-templed Minister Hanner, a 34-year-old onetime agnostic who got religion by acting in amateur dramatics with the First Unitarian's Gannett Players, began the practical application of his charge.

They turn out their shorts for $2,000 each (one-tenth the cost of the cheapest Hollywood "quickie"). To sell the glories of factory work they show oomph girls assembling shells in a munitions plant...
...last week were: the Countess of Carnarvon, Vienna-born Dancer Tilly Losch; lean, stoop-shouldered Baron Edouard de Rothschild, retired head of the Paris branch of the international banking house (who declared over $1,000,000 in jewels to customs authorities), his wife and daughter; French Playwright Henri Bernstein; mystic Belgian Dramatist Count Maurice Maeterlinck, 77, his long white locks protected from the sea wind by a Göringesque hair net, his pretty, redheaded actress wife Renee, 45. Maeterlinck, who said he had nothing left but royalties from his play The Blue Bird, mourned: "I had my money...
