...first time in three years, the Crimson squad did not relax during the whole game but held the puck so tenaciously that the carefully planned Tiger defense broke down in desperation after the first period. The team work has improved steadily during the last month and was at a peak Saturday night as short passes constantly eluded the Tiger defense and six of the goals were on assists...
Unfortunately, by last week The Music Goes 'Round and Around had definitely ceased to be a hit. For four weeks it has failed to appear on Variety's list of the 25 tunes most played on the air. Sheet sales have dropped 95% since their peak in early January. To most radio addicts, overfamiliarity has made the song something in the nature of an auditory emetic. Consequently, the impressive sequence in which Farley & Riley, then a German comedian, then an operatic tenor, then the star of the picture and finally the whole audience in a theatre sing...
...flights made it obvious that one of Ethiopia's greatest chieftains, Ras Mulugheta, was entrenched there in force. Sprawling sidewise to the Italian advance, Amba Aradam was of two parts: a jagged ridge known to the Italians as "The Herringbone" and, at the extreme right, a flat-topped peak called "The Priest's Hat."

But in order to handle boom traffic, the road had to embark upon a development program which included double-tracking the main line from Jacksonville to Miami.

Next year revenues started to toboggan, reaching a low of $6,600,000 in 1933. Deficits piled up year after year until...
...crescendos, make their pianissimos more consistently haunting. But few have been known to give so much substance to their music, to play with such clarity, such a grasp of structure. The many moods Schnabel projects offer eloquent proof of the years he has devoted to the study of Beethoven. Peak performance last week was the abused Appassionata, a flawless realization of the composer at his stormiest which had all the more meaning because it never went wild. Because encores destroy the balance of his programs, this purist refuses to play them, just as he refuses to waste his time...
