Recently, he returned from a European tour to find that Publisher-Impresario Alexander Sandor Ince, whom the staff called "the headlong Hungarian," had romped through most of the magazine's capital, including $30,000 from Doris Duke.

For though Sandor may lack pelf and polish, he has the sock tune in the show, that great old Victor Herbert chestnut, Gypsy Love Song...
Rachmaninoff: Concerto No. 2 for Piano and Orchestra (Gyorgy Sandor and the New York Philharmonic-Symphony Orchestra, Artur Rodzinski conducting; Columbia, 8 sides). A workmanlike reading of a vapid but pleasant score. Performance: good...
