...State-wide campaign for 30,000 sponsors progressed last week, a definite season was forecast with Composer Stringfield the choice for conductor. At the trial concert three weeks ago Mr. Stringfield's performance gave great impetus to the State-symphony idea. His music was spirited, well-knit in spite of limited rehearsal. His debonair manner is as impressive as any imported foreigner's. Otto Hermann Kahn telegraphed congratulations. North Carolinians are particularly proud of Mr. Stringfield's musical allegiance to his home soil. He has studied and conducted in the North but his composition which...
Indiana's limestone deposits were formed aeons ago when the land was the floor of an ancient sea, peopled with small, shell-bearing animalcules. Dying, these formed massive beds of oolite. Until 1904 only a few quarries existed around Bedford but that year a big impetus was given to quarrying with the invention of a new type of circular saw. In 1926 Indiana Limestone was formed to merge 24 small companies. Behind the deal was Lawrence Harley Whiting of Chicago, president of the investment banking house of Whiting & Co. For president and chief operating executive he chose an oldtime...
Although the new movement in literature and painting known as "Surrealisme" began in Paris some time before 1924, it still remains the "dernier cri", receiving fresh impetus each year, new recruits, new exponents. In this age when new art movements have rapid births but even quicker deaths this fact alone, the persistence of Surrealisme not for a year but for almost ten, should warrant sufficient consideration.

It constituted a further, semi-final step in an Anglican-Orthodox rapprochement begun many years ago,* given impetus after the War and pushed on towards a finish at the Lambeth Conference of 1930. The object of bringing the Anglican and Orthodox faiths together again is nothing more complex practically, nor less majestic theologically, than to achieve that Unity towards which all sects are working. The Pope wants Unity...
...reality. In 1920 this film was finished, and "Dr. Caligari" made his crooked bow to Europe. In those days nothing like it had been seen. Devotees of the arts went to marvel, and there was talk of the cinema coming of age. "The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari" gave the impetus for a brilliant series of European films which included Murneau's "Dracula" (1922) and "Faust," and Eisenstein's "Ten Days That Shook the World" and "Old and New." To the imaginative force of "Caligari," Eisenstein added his technique of film assembly, or "montage," in which short bits of seemingly unrelated...
