...made her debut in London's Hippodrome, aged twelve, in a routine designed to sandbag the audience. In the middle of a revue, the M.C. walked down to the footlights and said, "Is there any little girl here who would care to sing to us?" Up shot a hand in the stalls. In a flap of pigtails, this little hoyden in a party frock climbed up on the stage. "Don't feel frightened little girl, just sing," said the M.C.

But even if the Defense Department never orders a single plane, Convair sees a civilian market for the plane as a bush carrier and fire fighter.

The Pittsburghers' triumphant week was climaxed by a tempestuous reception for its Edinburgh Festival debut, with the Queen leading the applause...
This coming season Steinberg will take a year's sabbatical from his Pittsburgh post to conduct 48 concerts with the New York Philharmonic while Leonard Bernstein is on his sabbatical. Steinberg will also make his debut with the Metropolitan Opera, conducting 24 performances of three operas. "I have some real killers arranged for New York," he says gleefully, referring to Berlioz' rarely performed Symphonie Funèbre et Triomphale, a work for 180 musicians that will require the West Point Band as well as the Philharmonic, Leon Kirchner's Second Piano Concerto, and the American premi...
