Eight deceptive weeks of peace & quiet in Newfoundland fooled Governor and Commander-in-Chief Sir John Middleton into thinking he could safely leave the Dominion last week and sail home for London's smart spring "season." Sir John's valet had packed his things. His secretary had booked him the best cabin on a boat sailing shortly from St. John's.* Over the teacups at Buckingham Palace candid Sir John would answer King George's queries about the rioting of Newfoundland's jobless (TIME, Feb. 22).

Apparently Tin Pan Alley's dictatorship over the world's popular tunes has ended for last week Manhattan's smart Gramophone Shop reported that this season had been by far its biggest for popular records made abroad. London has sent several outstanding numbers: "The Pied Piper" arranged with a catchy, recurring ^'piper" motif; a good dance record of "You're Blase" and a two-piano version neatly embroidered by Peggy Cochrane and William Walker. From Paris there is Lucienne Boyer's "Parlez-Moi d'Amour" which took a prize last year for being the best popular record made in France...
