...fond of a guide Scotch burr, gang doon tae the Fine Arts and see the new Harry Lauder picture. It's full of highland accents and angular-Scottish faces that smack of the stories of Sir Walter Scott, set against the background of the lochs and the mountains. Harry Lauder is now a very old man but he can still put across a song and play the comic. The ballads he sings are dear to all the hieland lads and lassies who have come over to this country, and most of Boston's Scotch are down at the theatre tapping...

In the Sofia cafe last week the Minister felt reminiscent and asked the band to play Tipperary. It did so, and many people sang with the Minister. But there were also...
Soprano Kirsten Flagstad and Tenor Lauritz Melchior, who are none too fond of each other professionally, sang Tristan und Isolde one night last week at Manhattan's Metropolitan Opera. This popular team had impersonated Wagner's potion-bibbing lovers many a time before. But this time Tristan was an event. In the pit was the Met's first U. S.-born, U.
