...thousands, the romanticized history, the premeditated lavishness and panoramic effect--these are all present. But the story, which concerns the building of America's first transcontinental railroad, is amenable to this sort of treatment; and the screen version has been made with unusually great attention to detail. As a result, the atmosphere of frontier times--composed of the amusing savagery of the Indians, their reaction to "civilization," the lives of the railroad workers, and the machinations of big financiers behind the scenes in Washington--is vividly portrayed. Technical superiority, shown particularly in the handling of minor characters, has produced...

...planner is under no obligation to a public and is perfectly free--within the limits set by the ability and numbers of the forces at hand--to choose works from the entire literature of music. When concerts of this type are given by musicians of high calibre, the result, though often a little on the intellectual side, can be most excellent. For instance, a program like Mile. Boulange's last Wednesday remains stimulating and exciting to the very end even though the performance may not be A-1 in every respect. Programs by professional musicians of the calibre...
