...flower of contemporary music, he second number will be especially noteworthy. Professor Josten of Smith is a composer and conductor of recognised prowess. His bent is toward the primitive and naturalistic, rather than the mechanistic, and the subject of his selection is one in which he can revel. The suggestion of the work came from the series of jungle paintings by Henri Rousseau, French expresisonist, whose simplicity and lack of the artificial form both a point of departure and a goal for Professor Josten's composition: The music is neither based strictly on African themes and rhythms...
...guests lined up along a wall, dutifully handed over $1,700 in cash, $7,500 in jewelry. But eager to please, the "baron robbers" this time added an innovation. They ordered "drinks for all, on the house," commanded the orchestra to play on. Guests with spirits revived continued to revel, forgot their losses, while the bandits returned jewels to all women who consented to be their dancing partners.

This revel sets the pitch for the rest of the entertainment, which fulfills every standard-anatomical, luxurious, careless-that is associated with Producer Carroll. There is even a bath-tub interlude. Prominent among the personalities is Will Mahoney, a vaudeville Celt who clogs swiftly and loudly and takes terrific tumbles which are funny because...
...first such book to appear in English since Baedeker's Russia of 1914. Smart folk will note Moscow's Savoy Hotel, Leningrad's Hotel d' Europe, and that taxis have a fixed tariff in Moscow but must be bargained for in Leningrad. Map fiends will revel in hundreds of renamed towns, and the heretofore seldom seen Russian spelling of the nation's name: Soyus Sotsialisticheskekh Sovietskikh Respublik ("Union of Socialist Soviet Republics"). Tourists will pore over well-thought-out-schedules for "Seeing Moscow in Eight Days" or Leningrad in seven...
