...poured out his ruddy bass to the burghers, dames and daughters of Vienna in the Vienna Opera House. But frowns of annoyance danced on his brow; he found the time too slow for his impetuous taste. Over the bobbing heads of the first violins he glared meaningfully at Conductor Karl Alwin, tried vainly to force a faster tempo. Suddenly the audience gasped, the musicians faltered. The brawny arms of Basso Chaliapin were beating out an aerial quick-step at the orchestra in the middle of a duet. Before the nervous and fascinated audience, Conductor Alwin brought the orchestra to order...
...Karl Koessler of Chicago utilized the new knowledge of vitamin E (see above) in devising a dietary treatment for pernicious anemia which he reported to the Chicago Society of Internal Medicine last week. Victims of pernicious anemia cannot, for reasons not yet entirely solved, manufacture red blood cells. To aid this manufacture Drs. George R. Minot and William P. Murphy devised a diet rich in iron compounds-liver, kidneys, gizzards. Dr. Walter W. Palmer of Manhattan proved this diet beneficial (TIME, Dec. 20).

Dr. Karl Reiland, eminent clergyman, wrote to the Roundsman: "You have hunted an honest, not a bad woman to her death. I would not like to have to answer to God for what you have done...
POWER - Lion Feuchtwanger - Viking Press ($2.50). The handsome, malevolent features of Joseph Suss Oppenheimer leer through hazy German history. A moneylender, fawning but audacious, he makes himself indispensable to Duke Karl Alexander of Swabia, the peace of whose hairy bosom depends only upon war, wine and women. As finance minister, Suss rises to a cruel, dizzy pinnacle, from which he plunges voluntarily when his duties as procurer for the ducal bed involve his own daughter. He avenges her suicide and atones, with racial intensity, on the execution platform.... The treatment of prodigious figures in a pageantric time...
