...disk series that includes "the very best of" Gershwin, Rodgers and Hart, Kern, Romberg, Lerner and Loewe, and Berlin. The records have too many humdrum instrumental numbers, but occasionally are brightened by the voices of singers worth listening for: Lena Home, Judy Garland, Mel Torme, Rosemary Clooney, Helen Traubel, Kate Smith and Maurice Chevalier. The Porter, for instance, has Louis Armstrong (You're the Top), Eartha Kitt (Always True to You in My Fashion) and Margaret Whiting (Just One of Those Things...
...cast here, however, as an Irish colleen, still in her teens and fresh off the farm, who falls in love with a man (Peter Finch) more than twice her age, a writer of sorts who lives on Dublin Mountain alone and seems to like it. But he likes Kate too, and he meets her for tea. "Young girls fill me with sadness," he tells her with a little sigh. "They want so much."

...YORK by Andreas Feininger and Kate Simon. 159 pages. Viking. $10; NEW YORK: PEOPLE AND PLACES by Victor Laredo and Percy Seitlin. 192 pages. Reinhold. $12.50. As if to prove that New York is not to be reduced, despite the slogan, to a mere summer festival, a clutch of recently issued picture-and-commentary books have tried to capture the year-round look and feel of the city as its passionate fans know it. These two are the best. Laredo's photos are particularly good at capturing architecture, and the accompanying essays are casual and urbane. But for many...
