...FIRST great local news for Hub art lovers since John Singer Sargent last walked off Beacon Hill happened this week when Francis W. Dahl, the idol of Twentieth Century Brookline, published his first book. But alas and alack, it doesn't measure up to what the artist is worth. Dahl chose for his first little volume his worst representative works, the "Left Handed Compliments" that greeted Harvard's Herald readers when they returned from their Christmas vacations, written after he had broken his right arm in an auto accident...
...delivered at a musical tempo to the sensitive parts of Dame Boston's anatomy. Hizzoner the Mayor, the debutante, college life and the Boston El all come in for their share of playful pushing. There is a burlesque on the modern school of dancing that does one of the Hub's outstanding aesthetic horrors to a beautiful brown. But many of the best scenes and most of the real talent fall outside the local-color category and would fit well into any revue.

A waiting list of 200 eyes the orchestra hungrily : from the list, new players are chosen when members die or cut too many rehearsals...
...traveling salesmen knew enough to keep away from Albany, Ga. last week. They knew its two hotels would be crammed to the cashier's cot, its storekeepers loath to talk about anything but dogs. For Albany (pronounced All-Benny), a thriving little city of 19,000, is the hub of some of the best quail-hunting grounds in the world. There last week was held a bird-dog trial as sacred to Albany as the Derby is to Louisville...
