...prepared orchestra, she made the Beethoven as uninteresting as Czerny--and sloppily played Czerny at that. From the first, she failed to make notes sound clearly.

Eventually, when she did clear the pedal, she revealed her right and left hands engaged in a bit of polyphony never heard in this concerto.

Dever in the World-Telegram, or bland Nancy Randolph in the Daily News, or even the entertainingly abrasive "Suzy" (Aileen Mehle) in the Mirror. The fascinating intelligence that Mercedes de Footwork had lunch at the Purple Tulip is good for a line any time. No one may have heard of either Mercedes or the Tulip, but after both have been mentioned a dozen times and absorbed with faithful mindlessness by the people who read "the columns," Mercedes may get some invitations...
After a few days of accompanying the boss on his restless prowl of every corner of his big stores. Gart lost five pounds, and says he hasn't done so much footwork since he double-timed across Germany from the Rhine to the Elbe with the Ninth Army in World...
