TIME errs. The Duke of Gloucester is not George V's sole remaining bachelor son unless newsworthy TIME is keeping the marriage of the Prince of Wales, the world's No. 1 bachelor, a deep dark secret [TIME, Aug. 12]. The marriage of Edward Albert Christian George Andrew Patrick David would probably be more newsworthy and of greater international significance than the prayerful hope that the Duke of Gloucester and Juliana may some day see their way clear to the altar. Shall I renew my subscription next month...
...program listed eight artists, performing works by composers from the 9th Century (Notker Balbulus) to the 18th (Gretry), but the busiest person at a concert given last week in Deep River, Conn. was an earnest lady in a brown evening dress named Lotta Van Buren. She delivered explanatory remarks. She plucked twangy notes with a crow's quill on a monochord. She strummed on a psaltery which looks like a large, shallow cigar-box with strings. Standing up, she tinkled on an octavina. Sitting down, she bowed away on a viol, played a virginal. She blew into a black...
...market last month by Hadclorff Co. of Rockford, Ill., the Vertichord is the logical expression of the movement which caused makers long ago to scale down grand pianos to baby grands, uprights to pianettes.

Instead of manufacturing their own actions, most U. S. piano makers buy them readymade. Biggest action manufacturer is Pratt, Read & Co. in Deep River, Conn. In Chicago last week Pratt, Read & Co. was showing the revolutionary action which it bought from William Finholm after that young inventor had turned down a small offer from Steinway & Sons. The Finholm action, approved by most music men who tried it in Chicago last week, is less complicated...
...Seville, where he was made a "pretty fool of." An inexperienced author, he hesitated about writing the story of his love affair, compromised by turning out a book of sketches the mature Maugham was to dismiss as "crude and gushing." Despite his impulse to try again, despite his deep love for Spain, he could never find a Spanish character or theme to satisfy him. He wanted to write a romantic historical novel, rejected the story of Ponce de León because Ponce de León had left Spain and journeyed where Author Maugham would not follow...
