...music with golden success. Although long awaited, the youngest in line, The Countess Maritza, disclosed nothing more sensational than a former Metropolitan prima donna of human dimensions. Indeed, shapely Yvonne D'Arle's skipping and gestures are more suggestive of the Shubert girl than the Gatti-Casazza stalwart. Had she injected less grand opera bravura into her lyric cadenzas, she might have proved even more effective...
...fifty thousand buyers and the agents of 10,000 dealers in everything from caviar to coke foregathered at Leipzig during the week for that city's 700th annual fair. From the U. S. alone came 1,500 buyers. At Leipzig they mingled with oleaginous Armenian lace vendors, stalwart Norwegian goat cheese merchants, shrewd Jugoslavian toy whittlers.

This swordplay, these daggers by night and poisoned wine-goblets; a Milanese tyrant blood-hounding men for sport; a hundred delicate situations saved by Macchiavelian wit or pretty compliments; and Bellarion...
...Manhattan. But no man has since attempted the feat of a non-stop transatlantic passage in a heavier-than-air* machine, though of late years a Manhattan hotel man, Raymond Orteig, has been offering $25,000 to see it duplicated. Lately, in and about Manhattan, there has moved a stalwart, not-very-tall young man with the gait of a college quarterback and a stiff little mustache like a French soldier's. One day last week he dropped in on Mayor Walker and through an interpreter-for the young man is entitled to his mustache, and speaks none...
