...lines. Then we feel the passion and emotion rising in us from the force of the language itself. If you heard at any time Stokowski's recording of the Tchaikowski Fifth Symphony, you heard a rendition which for all its treacly sweetness might have come from Guy Lombardo as a sample of the "sweetest music this side of heaven." If you heard Koussevitzky's version last Saturday night at Symphony Hall, you listened to a performance clipped and almost terse, which bound together the loose ends of Tchaikowski's orchestration and made the entire symphony an unforgettably dramatic thing. Stokowski...
...Burns's forthcoming Comin' 'Round the Mountain. So Widow Winnie Whipple, whose ineffectual attempts to land Uncle Ezra furnish continuity of a sort for the program, exclaimed "Hollywood my left hind foot!" and wept that he should turn out to be "nothin' but a Gay Lombardo"-to which Master of Ceremonies Joe Kelly, to make sure everyone got it, rejoined: "You mean a gay Lothario, don't you?"

Vicente Lombardo Toledano's Confederation of Mexican Labor called on all its subsidiary labor organizations to make a fuss against "Yankee imperialism." Even supporters of the anti-Cárdenas Presidential candidate, General Juan Andreu Almazan, declared for publication they would not oppose whatever decision the President made. U. S. Ambassador Josephus Daniels...
...candidate of the Government is General Avila Camacho, who is not much of a general and not much of a strong man. Mexicans say he would probably be a stooge for Cárdenas, which Cárdenas refused to be for Strong Man Plutarco Elias Calles. Backed by Lombardo Toledano, the John L. Lewis of Mexico, General Avila is getting a big buildup. His stenciled name and face are on every available wall and sidewalk. Supported mostly by the Left, Candidate Avila talks Right...
