After a cautious first quarter, Penn altered its defensive posture. Working with the wind, the Quakers overloaded their attacking line for the power play. When a long kick skidded past the Harvard fullback, halfbacks Johann Stein and Peter. Humbert moved the ball toward the goal. Stein took a shot, and scored. Five minutes later, Humbert got his turn on a similar power play, and made it 2-0 Penn...
...most people, the mere mention of a Viennese operetta conjures up a waltz of post-Johann Strauss composers-Franz Lehar (The Merry Widow), Oskar Straus (The Chocolate Soldier), Emmerich Kalman (Countess Maritza). But beside their names belongs another: Robert Stolz. In his long career, Stolz has written almost as many operettas as the other three combined. Now 82.

At Austria's open-air amphitheater on Lake Constance last week, Old Composer Stolz was still at work. Tall...

Frank Sinatra sang it in French at a Cap-Martin nightclub, and an English songwriter is at work on English lyrics. In all styles, and in any language, Moonlight at Maubeuge...
...Johann Strauss's Die Fledermaus has maintained its position as the most popular despository of frothy melodies which Viennese operetta has given to the general body of Western culture. The romantic triangle of Rosalinda, her husband Eisenstein, and her lover Alfred needs only a good translation to be perfectly comprehensible and extraordinarily funny to an English-speaking audience. The translation used in the South Shore Music Circus production, which opened in Cohasset on Monday evening, lacks most of the virtues of the original German and makes many condescensions to popular taste...
