...native Oklahomans. Tulsa University's 83-piece Symphony Orchestra, which annually gives a series of summer concerts in a football stadium donated by Oilman William Grove Skelly, determined to present Aïda. Carlo Edwards of the Metropolitan Opera, vacationing with his wife's relatives at Sand Springs, was asked to direct. Tenor Forrest Lamont of the defunct Chicago Opera (TIME, July 4, 1932) was called to sing Radames. He was the only non-Oklahoman in the cast which included a girls' chorus supplied by a high school. At the first of two performances, 6,000 Oklahomans...

The protecting shoulder of a great mountain (from which Napoleon's Elba can be seen 40 miles out to sea) guards it from high winds. Long sand spits make the mountain look "like a great ship moored by its three ropes of sand"; more important, they make smooth as a millpond the blue lagoons lying on either side of the town. There in winter fat eels are snared for the Christmas tables of Italy. There in summer wealthy Italian families lounge. And there...
