Getting There- Arrong themselves travel and steamer folk were saying ruefully last week that "Americans who are able to go have not yet decided whether they are going to the Coronation-the thing has not yet crystallized, and it will probably crystallize suddenly one way or the other...
...were last spring and summer, the theatres jammed and head waiters (usually Italians in the swankest English places) as cocky as in 1929. Today in London almost no top-class hotel rooms for Coronation time remain available. His Majesty's Government bought the best months ago, and forehanded folk the rest. Class A & B tourists from the U. S. who would normally stay at the Ritz, Savoy or Claridge's are today being booked into Class C & D hotels such as the Thackery and Russell...
...concert will begin at 8 o'clock. The program is as follows: "Awake Thou Wintry Earth" by Bach; "O Domine Jesu Christi" by Des Pres; "Fire, Fire, My Heart" by Morley; two Italian folk songs, "Canto di Caccia" and, "Tu Mi Vuoi"; "Master, Ades Florum" by Carter; "Der Jager Abschied" and "Jagdlied" by Mendelsohn; "The Coronation Scene" from "Boris Godounov" by Moussorgsky; two choruses and a ballet from "Orpheus" by Gluck; "At Father's Door," a Russian folk song; and "The March of the Peers" from "Iolanthe" by Gilbert and Sullivan...

Thus far 30 second-stage "experimental volkswagen" have been built in Germany after testing three first-stage experimental models. Not on view at the Berlin Show this week was a single "Folksy Automobile." Nearest thing to it: the 4-cylinder, 23 h. p. Opel...
...final judging. Under the arc lights the best hound, a snowy greyhound named White Rose of Boveway, was a study in rippling marble. Best working dog was the ugly, muscular boxer, Dorian von Marienhof, whose owner year ago incorporated him at $4,000, sold $1 shares to such folk as Jack Dempsey, Sally Rand, Jack Pearl (TIME, Feb. 3, 1936). The best toy, Tang Hao of Cavershawm Catawba, was, as usual, a Pekingese, a breed whose courage was demonstrated in Manhattan's Central Park last week when one of them, out of sheer pugnacity, committed suicide by attacking...
