...toward this with outstretched hands and fingers gropes the kneeling centre-figure of "Mrs. Simpson." *Two telegrams from Mrs. Simpson were delivered to His Majesty in South Wales and after laying down the last of these he ordered a remedy she has previously recommended with success: a tub of hot water in which King Edward soaked his feet for an hour last week, meditatively puffing his pipe in the royal private...
When Artur Bodanzky guided the San Francisco Opera Company through Wagner's Ring last year (TIME, Nov. 4, 1935), the U. S. rang with his success. It was the first time San Franciscans had heard the great tetralogy in years, the third time they had ever heard it. Faces fell when the directors announced that Bodanzky would not return this season, that plump, pleasant Fritz Reiner would succeed him.

The production begins conventionally enough in April 1917 with Johnny Johnson (Russell Collins), a tombstone carver with an odd way of thinking things out straight, surrounded...
...Business and Best Families are more closely united in Philadelphia than in any other major U. S. city. Success in trade may not lead to the Wistar Parties, the Philadelphia Club, the Fishing Company of the State in Schuylkill or the Assembly, whose roster of names has changed but little since it was founded in 1748. But in Philadelphia, as in Boston, finance and society tend to merge in a vast accumulation of personal trust funds. There the Stock Exchange and the Racquet Club stand almost cheek by jowl. Last week, to Philadelphians in their clubs and counting rooms came...
