...woods. For the past four or five evenings KGEI has been booming through. I have heard Bing Crosby, THE MARCH OF TIME, Charlie McCarthy and Jack Benny. A funny thing happened the other evening while I was listening to THE MARCH OF TIME. One of the episodes purported to depict an incident in the front lines here in Bataan. There was a sound effect of firing and one of the characters said: "Here they come!" Just at that minute a flight of dive-bombers opened up on an airfield and our AAs opened up on them. The noise of that...
George Gershwin's "Porgy and Bess" is first of all an exceptionally poignant story set to some of the finest music America has produced. Such famous songs as "Summertime" and the rhythmic death chants admirably depict the spirit of America's most colorful minority, the Negro. The love story of the lame beggar, Porgy, and his sultry Bess is the main theme, which is surrounded with the life in Catfish Row, its joys and sorrows, its day to day gayety and the sudden tragedies springing from a storm at sea or a crap-game brawl.

Redon fans, admiring the artist's meticulous drawing and the strange velvety sheen of his blacks, agreed last week that his nightmares had never been more vivid than these...
This year Bill Gropper, who has never seen the horrors of war, capitalist or otherwise, but likes to depict them, had a real, first-class war to inspire him. Of the show's 25 oils and 19 lithographs, a large number showed concentration camps, corpse-strewn battlefields, bayonetings, bombed civilians, etc. Bill Gropper gets his scenes of carnage partly out of his round head, partly from reading papers. Says he: "I have never seen war, but did Leonardo ever see the Last Supper...
