According to many a radio listener, Comedian Chevalier will do well to go back to flesh & blood performances, at least to the talkies, where his winks and grins can serve him. But wiseacres who call his Chase & Sanborn (tea & coffee) broadcast a "flop" forget that in radio no one flops who pleases his client.

Many years of Mme. de Stael's life were spent in various European countries where her sparkling salons were centers of revolt against the oppression of French formalism in the arts. She was not too romantic, however, to forget her financial interests, and a large part of her correspondence with Americans deals with her investments in land in northern New York. She also looked upon America as the living example of her theories on the equality of man and life more or less in the natural state.
