Although Pierian's interest in the feminine sex is nothing new, it has not always been so aesthetic. In the earlier years of its existence, the Sodality regarded the serenading of Boston belles as one of its handsomest traditions. Lantern-lit expeditions of romance-bent musicians would start from Porter's Tavern in North Cambridge, and comb the land from Brattle Street and Brookline to Jamaica Plain and Beacon Hill...
...years, lantern-jawed Joe McCarthy helped fashion the Yankee legend. "You're a Yankee, young man," he hammered at his ballplayers. The name itself, lettered across a baseball uniform, became a symbol of invincibility. With Marse Joe as manager, the powerful New York Yankees won eight American League pennants before he stepped out of baseball two years ago.

...Goldovsky's staging surpassed all his previous efforts. The sets, designed by Richard Rychtarik, ranged from a shipwreek on a rocky coast to the gloomy interior of a pagan cave-temple and included the effective device of magic lantern projection on a backdrop. Mr. Goldovsky made excellent use of the stage in his direction of the principals and chorus and in his use of a small but good-looking ballet, reaching the peak of his imagination in the storm scene and the finale, a would-be sacrifice of Idamantes in the temple. Leo Van Witsen's costumes were also outstanding...
