...often labeled arbitrary, faddish, "plot-shy," and he made no secret of his liking for Chekhovian sketches and vignettes with a narrative content approaching zero. One of the stories in this collection-by Arthur Kober, dialectician laureate of The Bronx-is just a monologue by an offensively smug hash-house proprietor. Many are written in the fashionable (since Hemingway) stark-simple style which, slightly overdone, approximates baby talk. Thus John Fante (A Nun No More): "My mother cried and cried night and day. They couldn't stop her. . . . Finally Grandma Toscana called the priest. . . . Right away she felt better...
Jimmy Roosevelt threw Paulette Goddard and the entire Heidt Brigade into the pot with Jimmy Stewart, and the product is not gold but unpalatable musical hash. Stewart remains the easy-going, honest boy from the sticks who migrates to the big city. The heavy is his grump uncle who wants Irish Mary Gordon's property.

He is urged to make all the friends he can and to argue all he can in these first two years (during which he completely skips his College work) for the last two years will be busy ones. In the sixth...
...difference between the indescribable hash E. Power Biggs makes of a Bach Chorale Prelude, and the superb gusto and vigor he puts into a Handel organ concerto, is to me one of the seven wonders. In the latest in the Victor series of Handel organ concertos, the Cuckoo and the Nightingale Concerto, Album M733 he plays most delightfully on the Baroque organ of the Germanic Museum to a spirited accompaniment by Arthur Fiedler's Sinfonietta. The concerto itself is a delightful one, and the whole album as successful a combination of Biggs, Victor, and Handel, as has yet appeared....Anyone...
