...Harvard University Orchestra (Pierian Sodality of 1808) will top off a successful season tonight in its annual concert at Paine Hall, conducted by Malcolm Holmes. Including eighteenth-century classics and products of Harvard College, the program opens with Gretry's Overture to "Le Magnifique," and Haydn's superb "Drum Roll" Symphony. The Mozart Serenata Notturna for string orchestra, string quartet, and tympani which follows, will have the expert collaboration of the Stradivarius String Quartet, and Buxtehude's organ Chaconne in E minor will have the collaboration of Malcolm Holmes, who has transcribed the work for orchestra. Closing the program...
General Corap was relieved of his command. Paris newsmen thought that General Corap had been made a scapegoat by the Reynaud Government in an effort to restore its own prestige. His Army might have been full of slackers and saboteurs (TIME, Jan. 8, 1940), but his previous record was superb. A graduate of St. Cyr, French equivalent of West Point, he had served on Marshal Foch's staff in World War I, was twice cited for bravery. He served in 1926 under Marshal Petain against famed Rebel Abdel-Krim in French Morocco. He was for a while Chief...
Well fitted for his part is Brace Beemer. Thirty-eight, Beemer stands 6 ft. 3, weighs 200 lb., is an excellent horseman, a superb shot, a handy man with a 35-ft. bull whip.

All along, he has represented the Ranger in his few public appearances. In 1933 when Beemer as the Lone Ranger made a personal appearance at Detroit's Belle...
...more words a week for nearly 20 years. Insatiably, week after week, legions of boys gobbled him up between paper covers, price 5?. Their parents approved, for Frank was incarnate perfection ("frank and merry in nature, well in body and mind"). He was not only a superb athlete with no vices, but a protector of the bullied, a friend to the friendless. As a pitcher he could make his curve ball break either...
...Mediocre arrangement is saved by Krupa's background drumming and more of Anita O'Day's vocal (OKEH) . . . Half the Count Basie rhythm section (Jo Jones and the Count himself) are featured with the Benny Goodman sextet on I've Found A New Baby. Jones' drumming is superb, and well supported by Artic Bernstein on string bass. The reverse, Breakfast Feud, contains some tenor sax which shows Georgie Auld to be improving by leaps and bounds. There are few white tenor sax which shows Georgie Auld to be improving by leaps and bounds. There are few white tenor...
