...Prime musical cause of Salzburg's 1936 prosperity is Conductor Arturo Toscanini, who snubbed Nazi Bayreuth in Salzburg's favor three seasons ago. When the Italian maestro, still hotly anti-Nazi, learned of plans to broadcast Salzburg events to Germany, he seethed & stormed, vowed to depart and never return if any performance under his baton was sent across the border. Last week while Salzburgers were hearing a familiar, first-rate Toscanini performance of Beethoven's Fidelio and a familiar, even better Toscanini version of Die Meistersinger, cafe talk was all of how the grey little conductor...
Stocky, round-faced President-elect Wildman, 47, is a loyal DePauw alumnus (Class of 1913), is married to a DePauw alumna, has a twelve-year-old daughter who is a prime DePauw prospect.

S. man of God; Dwight Moody...
...readers, the value of contemporary reminiscences lies as much in what can be made out dimly between the lines as in what is boldly stated in the text. Last year the reminiscences of Mabel Dodge Luhan (European Experiences) and Elizabeth Drexel Lehr ("King Lehr" and the Gilded Age) were prime examples of such oblique candor. Although both authors revealed an intermittent circumspection, both were sufficiently engrossed in telling their own stories to make indirect admissions of which they appeared to be unaware. Cut in the same pattern as those books, The Countess from Iowa is nevertheless much less interesting, much...
