...Spirit of Christmas (Ken Darby Orchestra and Chorus; Decca LP). A spectral-voiced Spirit, serving as a kind of narrator, is reminiscent of a pretentious Inner Sanctum mystery, but Bandleader Darby's taffy-thick dance arrangements will probably be dandy as Music to Hold an Office Party...
Kneeling side by side in the inner sanctum, the prince and princess each received holy sprigs of a sakaki tree, and with these in their hands, they bowed four times. The prince then pulled out of his long sleeve a scroll, informing his ancestors that "from now on we shall love each other forever."

Copies of The Reporter and other magazines of contemporary interest covered a large center table. Aesthetics and history have both impassioned B.B., whose thirst for knowledge has been watered by immense energy. But Berenson's soul is of a renaissance tint and its tempo, plus, of course, the weight of his convictions...
