...Micaela in Carmen gave the season's most inept performance. In Carmen Manager Longone interpolated a floor show by the popular dance team, Veloz & Yolanda. His innovation had its box-office effect but purists shuddered at his taste, as they did again when he permitted a Buick sedan to be exhibited in the opera house foyer. When Conductor Gennaro Papi resigned (TIME, Dec. 2), more than Longone's taste was questioned. Longone claimed that Papi was either unable or unwilling to conduct La Fiamma, that he was prejudiced against U. S. singers. Papi retaliated with the blazing charge...

Powered with a V12 engine, it is currently made in only two models, a two-door sedan at $1,275 and a four-door at $1,320.

Theta Xi's funsters blinked, gulped, ran away when they recognized Mrs. Herbert Hoover...
...registered with Vatican City plates (SCV).* He owns a Dodge, a Citroën, a Fiat, a Mercedes, an Isotta-Fraschini, all gifts from pious admirers. If the Pope picks his favorite car this week for the 17-mile jaunt to the hills, he will clamber into the Dodge sedan, in which the back seat has been replaced with a large chair, slightly raised and overstuffed under red damask. In front of this is a small folding seat for the Pope's secretary. According to Papal Chauffeur Angelo Stoppa: "His Holiness likes speed. He orders me to drive between...
