At a Philharmonic concert in Manhattan last week German Bruno Jaenicke, reputed the world's greatest French horn player, huffed, puffed & snuffed valiantly through the first two movements of the Concerto which Richard Strauss wrote for his horn-playing father.

As is usually the case in films with which wild animals are intimately connected, the story is both quaint and trivial. A married lady penetrates...
...persuaded the proprietor of Cambridge's famed Dunster House Bookshop to sell them a copy of D. H. Lawrence's Lady Chatterley's Lover. W. & W. is now in serious financial difficulties. Boston's forces of righteousness are at present headed by slim, white-haired, horn-spectacled John Michael Casey, chief of the city's Licensing Di vision. For 27 years City Censor Casey, who is on record as having said, "Don't you know that Eugene O'Neill never wrote on a decent theme in his life?", has passed on every theatrical...
