Satisfying No One. None of the whimpering defendants denied their deeds. They merely maintained they were following doctors' orders, faced punishment if they refused, and did not realize the gravity of their offense. "When Frau Doktor told me to give a patient five grams of luminal," explained Luise Erdmann, 63, "I naturally assumed there had been a mistake, and gave the normal dose of .5 gram." When she learned Frau Doktor had meant what she said, Luise went to the head physician and was told that it was all done on orders from above. "If it hadn...
Last week "Frau Professor" Wallmann's 127th production, a three-act spectacular, Clitennestra, by Italian Composer Ildebrando Pizzetti, had its world premiere at Milan's La Scala. Musically, the work was something of a dud-somber, repetitive, unnecessarily difficult to sing. But as exciting theater, the bloodthirsty Agamemnon legend is hard to beat, and Wallmann did not try: instead she moved her chorus in a plastic combination of Greek tragedy and modern ballet, guided Star Soprano Clara Petrella in a performance of icy majesty, and won unanimous critical acclaim for what Milan's Corriere d'Informazione...
...Berlin Opera is presenting six Strauss productions, from Der Rosenkavalier to Die Frau ohne Schatten and Capriccio. In Munich, where coins are being struck for "Strauss Year," the Opera's Strauss festival had productions of all but four of his 15 operas, and the Nationaltheater's summer festival will present the sweep of his music in 100 concerts.

Bavarian radio will broadcast seven operas, and the Munich Music Conservatory is not only presenting a blizzard of lectures but-going the whole...

Thereafter, although the Hahnlosers were not rich, they bought contemporary art steadily until the walls barely showed through the paintings. By 1924, buying most of the time directly from artists, they owned Renoirs, Bonnards, Vuillards, Vallottons, Cezannes, Manguins, Hod-lers, Rodins, Maillols, Redons, Matisses, Rouaults, Utrillos, and just about every other French or Swiss artist that mattered at the time...
Unhappily Frau Aichinger, who was in her 20s when the sealed trains were rolling toward the death camps, has chosen to invest her innocent victims with an awful kind of knowledge of what they are in for. But the tragedy of innocence is that it does not know. When invested with the wisdom-after-the-event which properly belongs to the adult survivor, the children are less than the truth -they destroy pity because they are so self-consciously aware that they are pitiable. Anyone who ever wanted to tear the epaulets off Shirley Temple's Little Colonel will...
