Song of the Flame.* Have Messrs. Harbach and Hammerstein, authors of Rose-Marie, repeated? They have not, quite. They have scrambled up some princes and peasants in the hot pan of the Russian revolution, unscrambling them again in Paris-a moderately tasty plot, but lacking romance's true savor. Composers George Gershwin and Herbert Stothart have tried to catch the Slavic note, but the U. S. is too full of sad-singing Russians for their imitators to go undetected.

From this cause have flowed political and religious struggles, resulting indeed in progress, but progress less complete and less durable than might have come from earnest effort on both sides to seek for what was right in each. In such cases the elements...
...their races, turn at once with great and spontaneous enthusiasm to the culinary preferences of their adopted land. So long as the democratic spirit of the cafeteria reduces all classes to the lowly and patient condition of waiters upon the unhurried gods of the kitchen, so long as the savor of corned beef and cabbage waters the mouths of the multitude, so long the institutions and faiths of America will go on, uninjured by the inroads of French, Italian, or Russian menus or even by the jargonized Americanese of the aspiring Greek...
