...head unhappily as he reads a sign: PRODUCTION TODAY, 5,000; COMPLETED, 4,999. When everyone has gone the "V 8" insignia on a Ford hood becomes an imp resembling a male Betty Boop who summons the Ford parts to assemble themselves. The accompaniment gaily plays snatches from Chopin's Polonaise Militaire, Beethoven's Ruins of Athens, Mendelssohn's Spring Song. The connecting rods do an authentic square dance to one of Mr. Ford's favorite oldtime tunes. Wheels and tires roll into place of their own accord. The motor's fan becomes a propeller...
...years was demonstrated one night last week before all the Californians the opera house could hold. The dancing they saw was expert, technically sure. And more, it had escaped from the musty routine which stales most opera ballet. With equal spirit and understanding the Bolm dancers did a classical Chopin Reverie, a weird Chinese folk drama and a Ballet Mecanique for which they wore costumes of wood, Cellophane and tin to represent the dynamos, switches, flywheels and pistons which young Soviet Composer Alexander Mossolov had in mind when he wrote his noisy, hard driving Iron Foundry...
...even enjoy the irony of his gifts (they took a few millions out of the hundreds of millions he made from the World War) for hospitalization of the war wounded. But probably Eugene Schneider and Francois de Wendel are lovable old gentlemen who weep at a Chopin ballade.

...small audience yesterday afternoon witnessed the introduction of the new Clear-Tone piano at the music room of the Piano-Craft Company. Justin Sandridge, a young Boston pianist, played a pretentious programme of Bach, Scarlatti, Beethoven, Brahms, Chopin, and Griffes. Mr. Sandridge's playing was full of feeling and a primitive and facile movement of rhythm. In the beautiful fourth Ballade of Chopin he exceeded himself in the passionate reiteration of the main theme in the middle section; also his final number, the Legends of St. Francis Walking on the Waves, brought forth the necessary brilliance and virtuosity that Pere...
