...work of the late great Architect Bertram Grosvenor Goodhue, is surely a piece of the world's greatest modern architecture. 2) Its symphony orchestra exists unaided by great-hearted guarantors and, miraculously, without deficit. Last week the Lincoln players gave the first concert of their fourth season.

These were not prints, photographs, copies, but facsimiles, produced according to a new and secret formula, to be known as Belvedere Facsimiles. Made in Vienna by one Ulf Seidl, painter, aided by scientific associates, their purpose was to reproduce, not merely the drawing, the light and shade, the color, the texture of the original painting, but to reproduce perfectly and precisely all these details, so that the appearance of the reproduction should be identical with the appearance of the original. In this purpose the Belvedere...
...name of Lehmann is inseparable from the history of the Metropolitan Opera House in the 80's when German opera predominated under Frank Damrosch and Anton Seidl; and when the singers of fame in that Age of Innocence were Frau Brandt, contralto, Stritt and Alvary, tenors, and Fischer, basso...
