Depicting a "March of Pilgrims Singing Their Evening Hymn," the second movement is a gentle lyrical piece ending on a long sustained note played by the strings and the soloist. The performance seemed an improvement over that of the first section: Ansermet had more control over the orchestra and Primrose played his difficult part flawlessly and seemingly without effort. As the movement concluded, instrument after instrument dropped out until only the soloist and the strings remained playing. Primrose poised his bow for the last note and, with the impact of a siren in an empty subway station, produced the sourest...
With all the fervor of an oldtime revival meeting, 2,854 delegates to the 23rd annual convention of the Consumers Cooperative Association last week roared out the chorus of their Battle Hymn of Cooperation. The windburned farmers who lounged in red plush chairs in Kansas City's Municipal Auditorium, munching apples, had plenty to sing about. In 23 years, C.C.A. has become the largest co-op of its kind in the U.S. It has assets of $52.2 million, 449,000 member families, and last year sold $74 million worth of merchandise-everything from tractors to toilet soap...

Last Sunday's revival began promptly at 2:30, but Owen remained off-stage while a warm-up man kindled an audience which consisted mainly of old people. The dapper m.c. led several communal hymns, but most of the singing was done by an on-stage group of "Christian Youth." As a group the "Youth" averaged about forty years old--a lone teenager clasped his hands to his face and shook nervously during the first hymn. (During the second hymn he bolted into the wings.) There was an accordion number next, rendered by two girls in white. One of them...
