...made up entirely of reprinted writings by former editors and contributors from George Santayana to Ernest A. Simpson. When another former editor, of so antique a date as the third year of the "Monthly's" infancy (1887-88), turns its pages he must resist the temptation to drop into an "in my day" mood--and so he does...
...opera was, in fact, going on-Wagner's Tristan und Isolde, best-seller of recent Metropolitan seasons, its cast headed in familiar top-notch style by Lauritz Melchior and Kirsten Flagstad. Evident from the first drop of Mr. Bodanzky's baton was a greatly improved orchestra.

S. is in the midst of a business depression quite severe enough to explain the 40% drop of the New York stock market in the past three months. But in Wall Street there is still much talk that the market's fall is due primarily to such "technical reasons" as lack of liquidity brought on by too much Government regulation. Regarded, therefore, as something of a seer is the Stock Exchange's President Charles R. Gay, who sounded off against Government regulation...
