Bravo pour le Clown (Edith Piaf; Angel LP). Eight over-orchestrated songs of the sadder aspects of life and love, one of them (the title song) a rowdier than usual pagliaccio-type item that fits Piaf as closely as a putty nose. Perhaps more timely in France, where La Piaf is now touring with a circus...
Madame Yvonne Magnan-Pellenc of Marseille comes of a long line of rich soapmakers. In the family's heyday, she says, her great-grandfather opened the Marseille Prefecture Ball by escorting the Empress Eugénie on his arm. In these rowdier days, Mme.

There was no particular reason for it except that the company has had trouble aplenty-its affiliate's plants in Shanghai have been seized by the enemy; its earnings have dropped from 1930's $42,000,000 to this year's $6,000,000; SEC threatens to make it part with some of its U.S. operating companies...
