...prison sentence. Nicky Arnstein (real name: Jules W. Arndt Stein) turned himself in after his wife sang the song, was convicted of conspiracy to carry stolen securities into the District of Columbia, sentenced to two years in Leavenworth. After leaving prison the second time (he had been sent to Sing Sing for a securities deal in 1912), dapper Jules W. Arndt Stein tried the advertising business in Manhattan, was divorced, remarried, ended up in a Los Angeles air-conditioning firm. Last week he filed suit against Producer Zanuck, Actor Power, et aL, seeking an injunction against further showings of Rose...
...going to start recording for them shortly . . . Started to compare some classical vocal records with those of various jazz artists last week in an effort to label differences of phrasing--ran across Marion Anderson's new album of the Songs of Brahms and found it to be beautiful, simple singing, especially the Alto Rhapsody which is built around episodes in the lonely Hartz Mountains in Germany.

To sing some of the greatest devotional music known to man, 143 housewives donned white dresses, 83 workmen put on their Sunday best and sat soberly together in the chancel of Lehigh University's Packer Chapel. As usual the audience overflowed comfortably on the lawn outside; as usual the opening chorale was bayed from the belfry by 16 sonorous trombones...
From 1900 to 1925 St. George's has shared Harry Burleigh with Manhattan's Temple Emanu-El (he is the only Negro ever to sing in that choir). He once sang at two command performances for King Edward VII. By old Mr. Morgan's request, Harry Burleigh sang Calvary at his funeral. Harry Burleigh is proud of all these things. But to St. George's Harry Burleigh's proudest achievement is that he has sung Faure's The Palms on every Palm Sunday for the past 45 years...
