Last week's performance attracted unusual attention because it was Walter's Philharmonic debut, his first attempt to please a public still hypnotized by the beauty of the farewell concerts Arturo Toscanini gave, the pain in his right arm apparent to everyone who watched...
Pavlova did not live to make her fare well tour (TIME, Feb. 2, 1931), so Escudero arrived on his own last week, still yellow with the fear of the sea which besets all Gypsies. Spaniards filled a Manhattan theatre for his debut, shouted so loudly that he and the two girls with him repeated nearly everything they did.

A lady married to a captain in the French navy finds herself aboard her husband's ship and in a cabin which belongs to one of his subordinates. Before her husband discovers her predicament, the ship is torpedoed and lost with all hands, except those essential to the foolish sequences with which the picture ends. In these, the lady's husband is court-martialed. His wife, by confessing her evening...
