...criticized First Symphony of Gustav Mahler will be played at this week's symphony concerts for the first time in many years, Dmitri Mitropoulos, the guest conductor, apparently considering it worthy of a new hearing in Boston. Mahler, late nineteenth and early twentieth century symphonist of strong dramatic tendencies, has been called a giant of composition by his champion, the Bruckner Society.

This scrap...
That Shanghai is both less informative and less exciting than the article in Fortune which suggested it to Producer Walter Wanger is not the fault of Actor Boyer. He functions with his usual skill, contrives to make Dmitri that most familiar of cinema anomalies, a plausible individual surrounded by implausible events. Good shot : the board room of a broker's office with customers in evening dress waiting for the market to open in New York...
