...working on two of my latest loves," the master said in a quick, clipped speech which became occasionally inaudible. "One is Spanish literature, specifically Lope de Vega." In part, this Spanish literature study will be background for Wilder's half of Humanities 2. He likes to spend hours in Widener developing minute studies, and keeps a journal as a record of his fluctuating scholarly interests...
Siren of Atlantis (United Artists) may bring a moment of comfort to romantics who believe in the lost continent of Atlantis. It seems that the continent can be found this year somewhere near the Sahara Desert, within easy camel lope of a Foreign Legion post. Atlantis turns out to be populated by a carefree tribe whose principal activities are beating the tom-tom, drinking large quantities of a potent juice called arrack, and ogling the dancing girls.

...life he had scribbled poor verses and unsuccessful plays (he was a little envious of the then famous and incredibly fecund playwright, Lope de Vega). But in Quixote, Cervantes knew that he had written a bestseller. He predicted, in jest, a sale of 30,000,000 copies (just about it).

...which unite Spaniards and Argentines. It also involved some fancy costuming. It was the hottest day of the year when Evita got the diamond-encrusted Grand Cross of Isabel la Católica from Dictator Franco; but she wore a full-length mink cape.

At the bullfight, which she held up half an hour by arriving late (the opening was never delayed for Alfonso XIII), Evita again bugged Spanish...
Fortnight ago Hägg's rabbit arrived in Manhattan, a lanky fellow with lean, muscular legs, a squirrel's face and an antelope's lope. Like most Swedish trackmen he was in sad need of a haircut. He knew a little English but said he had already learned the "Indian language" (uh-uh; uh-huh; huh). He knew all about U.S. jazz (he plays the piano, violin and banjo by ear). In Manhattan, Strand listened to Swingdom's blind piano player Art Tatum, his favorite, then went off reluctantly to California. But the Swedish speedster...
