...Scene from Lucia di Lammermoor. On that glassy surface, double-runners are not allowed. Coloratura Berg sailed out cleanly, figure-eighted through her trills, skidded a couple of times into her flute accompanist, ducked low to coast into her final note an octave below the conventional high E flat. Wisely, she made no attempt to act daft. Soprano Berg looked like championship material...
...music itself: The program opens with organ music by Bach, the Prelude and St. Anne Fugue in E-flat, (so-called because of its similarity to a well-known hymn-tune of the same name), and two chorale preludes. The Grandjany Aria for organ, harp and orchestra, and the Fantasic for harp and organ unaccompanied, are dedicated to Mrs. Coolidge, the sponsor of the concert, and while not dazzlingly modern, are typically French in their balance and delicacy of line. The Handel Harp Concerto is number six of Handel's organ concertos. It was written specifically for harp or organ...
Everywhere that there was a big camp going up, there was an Alexandria in the South. In Florida, 15,000 men were throwing up a tent-city at Camp Blanding (for 75,000 soldiers) on a flat stretch of white sand 48 miles by automobile from Jacksonville.

A waitress paid her boss $5 a week to sleep in a restaurant kitchen. Land around the camp which once sold...
...freestyle sprints are the backbone of Yardling strength. Chid Gabeler has hit 25 seconds flat in the fifty and 57.4 in the hundred; while Big John Eusden was clocked under 57 for the century in the Brown meet but failed to take the race. Dave Barnes, Bill Platt, and Fred Tiemann are the other Freshmen to capture places in the dashes. Bill Hewes has developed into an up-and-coming diver under the tutelage of Peterson, who has been demonstrating Varsity gainers for the past five years. With adequate improvement, Hewes may take the third diving slot on next year...
...Santa Fe Trail" would probably pull a flat E out of History 5, but better men than Errol Flynn have hit the bottom in that course. Luckily, the film is no term paper on Bloody Kansas, but an interesting and frequently exciting study of a Man with an Idea, John Brown. Raymond Massey, lately of Illinois, resurrects the fire-eating disciple of Jehovah and the Boston Abolitionists with superb artistry. And, as is usual with any experienced actor, Mr. Massey pilfers the picture from such amiable hams as Errol Flynn and Ronald Regan. Of course, John Brown is the villain...
