...Italian-born laborer, Tozzi, 37, was introduced to music at home on a phonograph stacked with Caruso and Tetrazzini records and with contemporary pop hits (one favorite: "It ain't no sin to take off your skin and dance around in your bones"). Although he took voice lessons, he majored in biology at Chicago's DePaul University. But jobs were scarce when Tozzi got out of the Army in 1945, and he took to singing wherever he could-in the WGN Theater of the Air chorus, with Skitch Henderson and his orchestra at a local nightclub, at local...
This means that 3,000 shares of Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer were sold at $54.50 per share, and 300 shares of Emerson Radio & Phonograph (ERP) at $14.87½ (in 100-share lots the zeros are always omitted). When the tape is one minute late, the first digit is dropped from the price of the sale to speed up transmission, e.g., the M-G-M notation would read 3000s4½. When three minutes behind, the last two digits of the number of shares traded are also dropped, so that the tape would read 30s4½. When five minutes late, another sending machine...
...annual performance of Faust, in translation if necessary; at least the First Part, and the Second also in time to come. Both are done in Germany. Yale gave a magnificent performance of Part One in 1949, the bicentenary of Goethe's birth.

When Laurel-born Soprano Price. 34, made her Metropolitan debut last month, she faced, in the audience, a score of Laurel friends and relatives from both Fifth Avenues and from the sleepy streets in between. Her triumph monopolized the front page of the Laurel Leader-Call ("She reaches the pinnacle") and for a time, even crowded out the achievements of that other local Negro hero, Olympic Broad Jumper Ralph Boston. Laurel knew about Leontyne before Rudolf Bing ever heard...
What gives a voice goosepimple potential? What makes a singer great? Obviously talent and training. Amply talented. Leontyne Price has never stinted the training, still works hard with her teacher, Florence Page Kimball, even takes phonograph records along on her tours to study other singers' versions of a role during the long hours in hotel rooms. Like many other singers, she did not really reach her peak until she passed 30, has developed remarkably in style and power during the last three or four years. Says Teacher Kimball: "It is not lessons that have done...
