...Choral Society with G. Wallace Woodworth conducting, opened with the full chorus singing Hassler's Cantate Domino from Sacri Concentus. For such a large group, the girls appeared excellently drilled. The Choral Society did not fare so well for most of the remainder of the evening, the Sopranos in particular being somewhat thin and ofttimes shrill. The group sang Mabel Daniels' new Carol of a Rose. The selection, with words from a fifteenth century Flemish poem, was quite unexciting. The highpoint of the Choral Society's performance was a full and lively rendition of Schubert's Valses Nobles...

As Rumple, a newspaper-cartoon character in danger of extinction because his creator has lost the power to portray him, he fights for survival with tactics...
Nearly every U.S. record for top painters fell. By the time the evening was out, old collectors had staged a comeback, and newcomers had made their bid for fame. Among the most significant sales: ¶ Actor Edward G. Robinson, who last February had parted with a fortune in paintings to complete a divorce settlement, was on the telephone from Montreal (where he is touring in The Middle of the Night), picked up Derain's Vase of Flowers for $5,500, Georges Braque's The Sausage for $12,000. ¶ Mrs. David Rockefeller went $11,000 over estimates...
