...Mann: "One frequently hears it said that the artist should stick to his own craft, and that he merely cheapens himself when he descends into the political arena to participate in the struggles of the day. I consider this a weak objection, because of my conviction, or rather my clear realization, of the fact that the different spheres of humanity-whether artistic, cultural or political-are really inseparable. And that is why it makes me very happy to see that the art world of a country as large and as important to civilization as the United States ... is taking...
...pleased that he joined M. Delbos in a fervent pledge that "our two countries will remain faithful to the League of Nations and its principles." At the same time, however M.

Although extremely apelike, he was admitted to the human family by the skin of his primitive teeth, but Professor Dubois has changed his mind again, now pigeonholes the ancient creature as an ape related to the gibbons. Professor Dubois considers that all the original...
...newest work purports to "point musically to changes wrought in a people through the progressive and transmuting spirit of America." Its four movements are labeled "Yearning," "Sorrow," "Humor" and "Aspiration." Pleasantly sentimental in the moments when it was not jazzy, the score was more impressive in its clear professional instrumentation (Composer Still once orchestrated for Paul Whiteman) than through its intrinsic musical qualities. Minus its jazz content it might possibly have been a better symphony; minus its symphonic pretensions, its jazz moments would certainly have been better jazz...
