...ballet, from comic capers to spinning solos. It had no glittering star like Hollywood's Sonja Henie. But skating fans last week were ready to adopt new ice gods: Wisconsin's piquant Bess Ehrhardt and dashing Roy Shipstad (the "human top"); Adagio Specialists Idi Papez and Karl Zwack of Vienna (onetime European pair champions) ; Brooklyn-born Evelyn Chandler, who turns nine Arabian cartwheels without touching hands to ice; little Harris Legg, who takes a breath-taking leap over a lineup of eleven barrels and as a giant snowman performs the rare stunt of skating on 18-inch stilts...
Wagner: Die Meistersinger, Act 3 (Saxon State Orchestra, Dresden State Opera chorus, Karl Bohm conducting, with Hans Hermann Nissen, Torsten Ralf, Margarete Teschemacher and other singers; Victor: 2 volumes, 30 sides). Superb singing, perfect teamwork, and the latest touches in crystal-clear recording, make this complete and bulky last act of Wagner's great comic opera the record of the year...
Medical Superintendent of the huge plant for 25 years was Dr. Karl Albert Meyer.

...overture to an opera, Gulsara, by Reinhold Moritzovich Gliere, veteran Soviet composer and professor at the Moscow Conservatory. No streamlined Eastern orchestra gave it its first U. S. hearing, but the wide-awake, six-year-old Kansas City Philharmonic under cigar-puffing U. S. Conductor Karl Krueger. Conductor Krueger's first cellist, Frank Sykora, onetime pupil of Composer Gliere, had wangled the manuscript out of Russia. An audience of 2,500 Kansas Citizens turned out to hear the overture, and agreed that Joe Stalin had done his stuff: the Gliere piece was engagingly tuneful, richly orchestrated, satisfactorily oldfashioned...
