Last month, a Los Angeles Grand Jury indicted David Allen and an obscure cinemactress named Gloria Marsh for immorality. Last week the testimony of an extra whose name was not revealed was made public.

...choristers from the New York Schola Cantorum and four expert soloists-Soprano Elisabeth Rethberg, Contralto Sigrid Onegin, Tenor Paul Althouse, Basso Ezio Pinza. Toscanini sang croakingly along with them but there were no complaints. The little Italian had never seemed so inspired as in the exalted Gloria, the prayerful Agnus...
