...where Yale romantics like to think ''The Long, Long Trail" was written, Stod King's initials are carved on one of the big round table tops strung up around the wall. But his song is carved still deeper in the history of the War. Contralto Ernestine Schumann-Heink and Tenor Enrico Caruso sang it in Liberty Loan drives. Elsie Janis sang it in France from the back of a truck. The first U. S. troops to land in England marched in review to it before Ambassador Page and Admiral Sims. British soldiers sang it when they were...
...compositions of his own that he had tucked away, which so impressed Eduard Remenyi. the gypsy violinist, that he engaged young Brahms to be his accompanist, introduced him to potent Violinist Joseph Joachim. Remenyi taught Brahms to love Hungarian dances.

Unlike most young U. S. singers engaged lately by the Metropolitan, Tenor Crooks had made his name beforehand. At 11 he was a wonder boy soprano, commuting from his home in Trenton to sing at All Angels' Episcopal Church in Manhattan. At 12 he sang with Ernestine Schumann-Heink in a huge Ocean Grove (N. J.) festival, maintained perfect poise until the motherly contralto brought him back for a bow, gave him a resounding kiss. The War turned Richard Crooks's mind from singing. He overstated his age to join the 626th Aero Squadron, learned flying from...
