Prominent among the pioneers in this new field of composition is Raymond Scott, a Brooklyn-born musician, whose brother Mark Warnow has long rated as one of the Big Ten of U. S. danceband leaders. Composer Scott, whose real name is Harry Warnow (originally Warnofsky) is the creator of a dozen-odd recordings (Twilight in Turkey, Powerhouse, War Dance for Wooden Indians, etc.). His music, whose deliberate jazz style is so sophisticated that it seems almost a caricature of jazz, has attracted the attention of such musical bigwigs as Igor Stravinsky.

Equipped, inevitably, with a story in which the hero is torn between loyalty to Boys Town and to his old life, represented by a bank-robbing older brother, the picture focuses principally on Father Flanagan.

Wife of a Ph.D. (brother of Publisher Richard Simon) who spent a year in England on an exchange professorship, 28-year-old Margaret Halsey has added enough wisecracks to make her novelty also a likely bestseller. Divested of wisecracks, Author Halsey's English impressions are surprisingly charitable - kinder than most English impressions of the U. S., kinder than Peggy Bacon's illustrations, and much kinder than...
