...news of her father's defeat, pretty Miss Ma Shu-chin, 19, quit her girls' hoarding school at Tokyo and sailed for Manchuria, serenely confident that the gallant Japanese military would pass her through their lines to General...
...Koussevitzky orchestra had a long, symphonic introduction before Violinist Busch tucked his instrument under his chin, demonstrated a great talent worthy of great music. Busch, like Brahms, scorns meaningless display.

Charlotte ("Aunt Lottie") Powers (Helen Lowell) is an aging, shapeless creature with tiny bird-like eyes and more nose than chin. She lives in guest rooms, directs households, antagonizes servants, soon becomes mistress of any house in which she lives. Hints that she leave she studiously ignores; when told she must go, she breaks down and cries. Mrs. Fairley got rid of her by dying, Mrs. Martin (Beverly Sitgreaves) by leaving, Janet Simms (Joan Kenyon) by foisting her off on an unsuspecting friend...
