...record industry, which is not finding the livin' in the singles market easy, hopes to ease some of its pain this summer with massive LP infusions of George Gershwin, massively publicized by a full throated chorus of movie and record company pressagents. With Samuel Goldwyn's Porgy and Bess about to be released, the record makers have pressed nearly 30 Porgy albums, ranging in style from Overstuffed Country Club to Tubular Cool. Columbia has issued excerpts from the sound track with Cab Calloway dubbed in as Sportin' Life in place of Sammy Davis Jr., who sings...

By the end of the fiesta at Pamplona, Spain in the summer of 1925, Broom had folded, Loeb had all but parted from his mistress.
