...newcomer among the Sunday afternoon radio programs, the half-hour of contemporary music sponsored over WHDH by the Longy School is a step, though a small one, toward satisfying a very conspicuous need in radio music. These concerts will present the works of present-day composers, most of whom are writing prolifically in the smaller forms. The plan is timely and, we think, indicative of increasing interest among performers and audiences in the somewhat neglected realm of chamber and salon music. Though this is a non-commercial program, it is definitely not an amateurish undertaking, as the performers...
Only two works were performed last Sunday--Five Pieces for violin and piano by Prokofieff, and Roussel's String Trio, Op. 58. The String Trio is one of Roussel's last compositions. Like all of his music it is marked by dissonant harmonic and contrapuntal effects.

One, Mystery Writer Harry Kurnitz, solved the mystery of the March of Death right...
...prodigious worker, Bill Cunningham does his column every day, for Sunday produces six columns on Saturday's football game. On Sunday too he writes a full-length feature story about any subject that comes into his head. An average day brings him 70 letters, and all of them get answered anywhere from a week to a couple of months later. In his 17 years with the Post he has never taken a vacation...
