...dozen. Nor does it rank in craftsmanship with George Moore's fanciful The Brook Kerith (which had Jesus survive the Crucifixion, pass a long life in retirement) or with Sholem Asch's best-seller of 1939, The Nazarene (which among other things presented a supposed "gospel" written by Judas).

Future Coffee Concerts include: an oratorio version of the chichi-melodious Gertrude Stein-Virgil Thomson opera, Four Saints in Three Acts; Spanish music (with the bagpipers); voodoo dancers and Brazilian Soprano Elsie Houston; a "Jubilee" of gospel-singing Negro quartets (some with three or five members) and the guitar-playing bishop. The bishop, the Rev. Utah Smith, wears paper wings, lately inspired Composer-Critic Thomson to write: "As a stimulator of choric transports he incites the faithful to movements and behavior not very different from those of any true jitterbug. Myself, I found it distinctly pleasant to hear good swing...
