...Philadelphia Orchestra last week. It sounded no harsh or eerie effects, embodied no attributes of the mechanical age, neither steel works nor jazz. It was music made for beauty's sake, music suggested by the old Greek legend of Daphnis and Chloe, a shepherd and a shepherdess who grew up together and loved inevitably. Violinist Efrem Zimbalist wrote it. Conductor Leopold Stokowski played it first in Philadelphia. In Manhattan next day he put it on the same program with Stravinsky's new violin concerto, a superficial showpiece on which Violinist Samuel Dushkin has the purchased monopoly, also given...
Poet Jeffers is more than a pessimist; he is a writer of tragedies. The two long poems in this book, Dear Judas and The Loving Shepherdess, are different statements of the same idea: "You see men walking and they seem to be free but look at their faces, they're caught."

Today, by a pretty pirouette of Fate, she is the consort of a man on whom Italy has bestowed the Collar of the Annunziata. He who wears that supreme badge and his wedded wife are both legally "cousins of the king...
...story is the usual merry epic of a Fairbanks production. It begins with the miracle of the pool by which a shepherdess is made whole by looking at a vision of the Virgin Mary, whom, if the shepherdess had known her Hollywood, she would have recognized as Mary Pickford, America's sweetheart. A city grows up around the shrine of the pool. Hearing of the wealth which grateful recipients of its healing power have laid at the feet of the shepherdess (now the priestess of the shrine), El Gaucho rides toward it through imaginary Andes, as steep and beautiful...
