...week's end. Pianist Novaë's was back in Town Hall, where her fans were so mu sic hungry that extra chairs had to be put on the stage for the audience. Dressed in regal black, Pianist Novaë's floated her music from the first pearly notes of a Bach-Siloti Prelude, gathered excitement with Beethoven's "Waldstein" and steeped Schumann's Kinderscenen and three Chopin pieces in reflective romanticism. She wound up with three works by her prolific countryman, Villa-Lobos. When the stormy applause finally abated, Guiomar Nova...
MERGER between Massachusetts' Regal Shoe Co. (109 retail stores) and St. Louis' Brown Shoe Co. (TIME, June 1), which had been held up by the competing General Shoe Corp., will finally come off.

...about as much help to the proceedings as a sliver of ice to a long summer drink. And Kind Sir seems hardly more wicked than it is witty. Moreover, the production-instead of obeying the rule for froth, and moving as fast and lightly as possible-is all in regal slow-motion, like a Coronation rehearsal. Actress Martin cannot fail to be personally engaging, but her portentous pauses and rather statuesque poses are a mistake. Boyer's role allows an excellent actor no chance to act, and he can only exert a matinee-idol charm. Except to watch...
