Dello Joio: Concerto for Harp and Orchestra (Edward Vito, harp, with the Little Orchestra Society, Thomas K. Scherman conducting; Columbia, 1 side LP). U.S. Composer Dello Joio (TIME, May 22) manages to write charmingly and effectively for the harp without sounding too much like either Debussy or Ravel. On the other side of the record, David Diamond's Music for Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet" sounds like little more than warmed-over Prokofiev. Both performances and recordings: good...
...Town Hall, Contralto Ferrier had no topnotch Glyndebourne production behind her, although she did have a familiar Euridice opposite her: U.S. Soprano Ann Ayars, who had sung the role with her in England and on records.#&134; But Conductor Thomas K.

If SEC approves the registration, B.O.M.C. will sell the public 200,000 of these shares (par value...
...offering price of the stock has not been decided. But on the basis of B.O.M.C.'s excellent earnings, and the well-earned reputation of Harry Scherman as a shrewd bookman, the public will probably be willing to pay a good price. Two-thirds of the cash received will go to B.O.M.C.'s present stockholders (Harry Scherman & wife will sell 121,500 shares), will be taxable as a capital gain up to 25%. The remainder will be added to B.O.M.C.'s working capital. And as a happy ending to this book financing of the month, Harry Scherman & friends...
