...will mean 59 performances on a tour of 8,977 miles and, according to custom, last week Boston was first. Lohengrin was the opening opera there, with Marion Claire, 24-year-old Chicagoan, as the wispy Elsa who could not cure her curiosity, Rene Maison the Silver Knight and Maria Olszewska the black-hearted Ortrud.

So enthusiastic was Ambassador Prittwitz that he took steps to arrange a recital in Washington. Dancer Kreutzberg and the bright, wispish Georgi will go thence to Chicago, Milwaukee, Pittsburgh, Boston...
...every two years (TIME, Jan. 21); and intending tourists have been called "fat drones" (TIME, Jan. 28) and warned that they are not wanted in Italy, since they are "more of a nuisance than a benefit."
