Subsequent investigation yields nothing to Inspector Thumm and Attorney Bruno. In despair they turn to Drury Lane, a retired actor who had helped them on a criminal case before. Actor Lane is an esthetic Sherlock Holmes who quotes Shakespeare, names his servants after Shakespearean characters, lives in an Elizabethan village of his own creation, takes sunbaths in a breechcloth on an Elizabethan tower. He soon figures out who must have committed the murder, but he has a long way to go to get enough evidence for a legal conviction. Two more murders, an attempted suicide, a backtrack to a murder...
...grave, hulking German came on to the stage at Carnegie Hall, Manhattan, last week, made a solemn bow and, turning around, flipped his coat tails in the face of a smart Philharmonic-Symphony audience. The gesture was not one of disrespect. German Bruno Walter was just preparing to sit down before a keyboard, to play the harpsichord part of Handel's G Minor Concerto for Strings, also to conduct the orchestra. Sometimes his right hand, sometimes his left, flew from the keyboard long enough to let his will be emphatically known to violinists, 'cellists, viola and contrabass players...
...Bruno Walter was no stranger to the audience which cordially applauded his entrance last week and cheered him when the concert ended. In 1923 Walter came to Manhattan to conduct the New York Symphony and it became known then that his real name was Schlesinger, that he had taken the more euphonious name Walter after the hero of Die Meistersinger, an opera he conducted brilliantly when he was very young. After the long administration of Walter Damrosch, the New York Symphony was in a hopelessly lethargic state. Conscious of failure, he returned to Europe to increase his honor...
...German Bruno Walter will conduct the Philharmonic for seven weeks, beginning in mid-January. But for the next few weeks substitutes were needed. The choice of Detroit's Ossip Gabrilowitsch and of Hans Lange, the Philharmonic's assistant conductor, surprised no one. The engagement of Vladimir Golschmann for Christmas week aroused controversy, as did the Philadelphia Orchestra's engagement of Eugene Ormandy, another beneficiary of Toscanini's glass arm, now permanently established in Minneapolis (TIME...
Adenoids and head colds affect few people so unpleasantly as they do those who blow on wind instruments. At a Philharmonic concert in Manhattan last week German Bruno Jaenicke, reputed the world's greatest French horn player, huffed, puffed & snuffed valiantly through the first two movements of the Concerto which Richard Strauss wrote for his horn-playing father. Then, exhausted, Horn-Player Jaenicke left the stage. Conductor Erich Kleiber strode after him, but no amount of persuasion would return Bruno Jaenicke to his snuffling misery. An unprecedented announcement was made: the Philharmonic was unable to finish a number...
