...exemplary private life that Queen W'ilhelmina lived blended well with her shrewd qualities as a ruler. Not a breath of scandal has ever touched her. Few if any bits of gossip ever got through the cold, exclusive circle of Dutch nobility that surrounded the court. She was the good mother, the conscientious leader, the faithful churchgoer. Because of her strong Calvinism, her words came to carry almost a scriptural weight among the nobility of The Hague and Utrecht, the patrician families of Amsterdam, all the older townspeople and villagers in the strongly Protestant North. Nor could...
...where the servants pool their savings to buy her a party dress and silver slippers so that she can go to the great ball. There unknown Connie captures the crowd by caroling a Strauss waltz. Her handsome, horsy young host (Robert Stack) canters over and, while cinemaddicts hold their breath, gives Deanna Durbin her first kiss, which had to be shot twelve times before it was considered impeccable enough to meet the exacting standards of Durbin fans...
...left him in 1931 and, like Spain, began a new chapter of life. She rejoiced with the rest of the Spanish people in the somewhat piteous end of the King "with his evil-looking nose and famous bad breath."

Under the tepid, professorial new Republic she lived in Rome and Berlin, where her husband, as Air Attaché, learned much of value, which, however, did not interest his Government...
...hard to say that one instrument is more difficult than another, but the method of tone production in the brass is certainly extremely treacherous and touchy. The hornets or trumpeter is dependent on subtonic adjustments of his breath and lip muscles rather than on the finger and arm motions, which most other musicians employ. The difficulty of tone production is especially important when the player must enter after a long period of rest. In music of the pre-Romantic period--for example, Beethoven's First Symphony in the next Friday and Saturday symphony concerts--the player must continually pick...
...breath-taking surprise was the eight-piece jazz unit known as Matty Malneck's orchestra which captivated the audience with its novel rhythms featuring a Harpo Marxish accordion player called Milton Delugg. Eve Arden as a wealthy patroness of odd theatricals proved to be a front of witty dialogue, Grace-McDonald and Frances Mercer are attractive ingenues, Jack Whiting appears as an adequate song-and-dance man. The dancing of Don Loper and Maxine Barrat provides dynamic climaxes for several of the sequences. "All the Things You Are" is probably the standout among the ever-original and entrancing Kern tunes...
