...exercise of handicrafts. . . . Jewish shops operated in violation of this order will be closed by the police" [and presumably turned over to Aryans]. He planned ultimately to move into ghettos all Jews who can or must tolerate life in Germany. And Jews were also forbidden to go to theatres, concert halls, art galleries, public schools, high schools, universities...
Last week Dancer Argentinita made another try with a concert in Manhattan's Majestic Theatre. This time Manhattanites, finally aware of who she was, thronged the theatre, stamped and yelled, gaped at castanet playing that would have made Gene Krupa sit up, footwork (zapateado) that would have made Bill Robinson's eyes pop. Though Dancer Argentinita is known to be an ardent Spanish Loyalist, Manhattan's Spaniards called an armistice for an evening. Both Leftists and Rightists turned out to give her a big hand...
...problem of how U. S. pianists and fiddlers who are not headliners can get a chance to play with an orchestra.

Specifically, the Concerto Grosso in B minor was not marvelous...

Hallelulja Amen, a canon by Norris, went brilliantly, enunciation being practically as good as the Harvard Glee Club. The girls also sang acapella a madrigal by Weelkes with the skill and lightness of a few experienced singers. But Woody steals half the show when he expresses the sense of the music in his face. In the mellifluent parts of Shubert's Valsos Nobles, for instance, Woody licked his chops as if the girls were slipping him a Western over the piano...
