Oliva Dionne has changed in the past decade. Before Marie Reine Alma, Emilie Marie Jeanne, Cécile Marie Emilda, Annette Lilianne Marie and Yvonne Edouilda Marie were born, ten years ago next May 28, he was a shy, thin, weather-beaten, unlettered farmer grubbing a living for his brood from 200 unproductive acres near Callander, Ont. He still farms the same soil (hay, oats, cattle), but only in a supervisory way. He wears neat business suits, has filled out, looks more urban than rustic. He is assertive now, aware of his responsibilities, no longer thrown off balance by publicity...
There have never been any great women composers, and few even moderately good ones. Biggest female name in music was the late Frenchwoman Cécile Chaminade. A composer who does not mind being called the American Chaminade is a plump little blonde woman, nearing 50, who is known on concert programs as Mana-Zucca. Last week Mana-Zucca finished her 1,000th composition, a children's musical play called The Gingerbread House. Then, instead of letting well enough alone, she wrote her 1,100st, a song entitled Music I Heard With...
...Paris famed Mme Cécile Brunschvieg, No. 1 French feminist, only Jewess ever in the Cabinet (TIME, June 15, 1936) and Editor of La Française ("The French woman"), was keeping all her irons in the fire while nursing a sick child at home between intervals of work. She bounces out of bed early, attends to liaison between the Ministries of Health and Education, supervises social work among Paris slum children, edits her newspaper on busses or wherever she can open up her bulging portfolio, snorts cheerfully, "I have so much work to do there is no time...
...phane and Onésime Sabatier, a pair of broad-boned, high-cheeked young Huguenots, wanted respectively to be prosperous merchant and artist. Both started well, as Onésime eloped with his rich cousin, Cécile Renouvier, and Stéphane got Cécile's paunchy, grandiose father to back a Marseille importing firm for him. The brothers' ambitions were reversed when his wife's money gradually converted Onésime into a comfortable bourgeois and Stéphane, after being ruined in business by bulbous-eyed Solomon Lévy-Ruhlmann, turned...
Last week Ontario's Provincial Secretary Harry C. Nixon wrote a letter to Oliva Dionne, father of Annette, Cécile, Emilie, Marie, Yvonne and several other less famous children, inviting him to bring the quintuplets to Toronto on May 22 to see the King and Queen. The letter offered the use of two private railroad cars, seats at a royal luncheon and official reception, use of Premier Hepburn's private office "when the girls are not in the private car on the tracks"; and ended with a reminder that "this will probably be the only opportunity your...
