Last week, while erstwhile Bolero fans occupied themselves with other fads & fancies, the music world mourned the death of Composer Ravel, most noted French musician of his generation. It was not as the concocter of that booming bit of cafe music that Ravel drew this world-wide homage, but as the composer of two operas, numerous songs and chamber music works, and of a half-dozen suites and tone poems (Daphnis et Chloe, La Valse, Rhapsodic Espagnole, Alborada del Gracioso, Ma Mere I 'Oye, Le Tombeau de Couperin, et al.) which have long ornamented the symphonic programs of three...
...veils of Denishawn soon gave way to High Priestess Martha Graham's surrealistic fence-act. Frontier, and to stylized swaying and leaping by dead-pan Grahamite assistants. Favored by streamlined technique and by an early position on an anti-climactic program, mask-faced Graham's parsimonious convolutions drew bravos.

...sold to the public at $2.20 a seat. But in the past, in the dim beginnings of the movie technic (this is a safer term than art), a picture did not have to be seen at enormous prices to be great. Of course, one like "The Big Parade" drew multitudes to the old Astor Theatre at a price dear even to the pocket of a retired banker. In recent years "The Informer," "All Quiet on the Western Front," and "Little Women" were three examples of films that toured the nation's theatres at regular prices and were considered as worthy...
...University team composed of John L. Foster '38, John J. Fernsler '40, William M. Murphy '38, and Louis R. Chauvenet '41 vanquished its opponents in convincing fashion by winning every match. Showing great skill in all departments of the game, the Crimson chess men each won two games and drew one. The whole team placed among the highest scoring six in the tournament...
