CAGE ME A PEACOCK-Noel Langley- Morrow ($2.50). The dead hand of the late Thorne Smith lies clammily on Author Langley's pages. Supposedly an uproariously racy revamping of the legend of Lucrece, its rowdiness is no louder than Thorne Smith's, its dreary humor not much worse...

CRACK!-even louder that same day Pravda lashed out against Composer Dmitri Shostakovich, whom every Soviet music critic has hailed as the Revolution's most brilliant genius in the realm of operatic and symphonic composition. Not only has Comrade Shostakovich been Bol- shevism's musical darling, but Capitalism in Manhattan...
