...25th anniversary of the Metropolitan Opera debut of durable Soprano Lily Pens, 51, the Met staged a special gala to hail her, programmed a hit parade of Ponsongs from such favorite operas of Lily's as Rigoletto and Lucia di Lammermoor. From high-domed Rudolph Bing, the Met's general manager, Lily got congratulations and a passel of sterling silver mementos. Almost as trim as she was when she first defied the stereotyped bovine heft of oldtime grand divas, tiny (5 ft. ½ in., 109 Ibs.) French-born Singer Pons graciously took her curtain calls, then used...
Last-week, at a mere 59 (Rudolph Matas is still alive at 95 and working on medical histories), Alton Ochsner gave up the reins as head of Tulane's department of surgery, though he will continue as a professor and can still be the bull in the bullpen. So far, no surgeon has been named. In a reminiscent mood, Ochsner recalled some of the Latin American dictators (including Argentina's fallen idol Juan Perón) on whom he has operated or for whom he has served as consultant...
...noted graduates was Dr. Rudolph Matas, born of Spanish parents in nearby Bonnet Carre. When the surgery chair was vacant in 1894, there was talk of importing a Johns Hopkins man, but the New Orleans press staged an unprecedented campaign: "Matas and Matas only!" "Call for Matas."

"The sensation," wrote Boston Herald Critic Rudolph Elie, after a Boston Symphony concert, "is thrilling to the last degree." But he called the hall "acoustically naked," pointed out that a "creaking shoe, a blow through the exhaust valve of a horn, and a noisily turned page become a major catastrophe...
...Irving Berlin's White Christmas-but that mood was dimmed in the smoke of a goofy juvenile called All I Want for Christmas Is My Two Front Teeth (1948), and the pixies took over. The following year, all the kiddie stars were lisping the lyrics of Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, and 1952 brought the coyest Christmas hit, I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus. This year's subadolescent hit, if any, is slow to show, but according to both M-G-M and Columbia, a number called Nuttin' for Christmas is showing frightening signs of life. Sample...
