...Disciples followed the Last Supper with a hymn, and the early martyrs went singing into the arena to meet the lions; voices raised in praise and gladness have always been part of the Christian faith. But the sound is sometimes unholy. In modern times, Pope St. Pius X warned against the infiltration of profane music in his Motu Proprio (1903), followed by Pius XI in his Divini Cultus (1928). Last fall Chicago's Cardinal Stritch blacklisted such sentimental standbys as Schubert's Ave Maria and the Wagner and Mendelssohn wedding marches (TIME...
...their aggressive instincts.) Once a week the Marx brothers pile into their parents' 13-ft.-wide bed for the night. There they are treated to a bedtime-story session in which Marx spins chiller-dillers about such bad guys as a deformed villain who sautes children's eyeballs for supper. The "mean-man stories," as the children call them, are intended, says Marx, to "immunize them against fear."

After supper, TV's Bergen ($64,000 Question) Evans auctioned off letters and manuscripts by such literary titans as John Masefield, George Bernard Shaw. Thomas Wolfe, Harry S. Truman. Lannan put up his own copy (published in Florence in a limited 1928 edition) of Lady Chatterley's Lover. In all, Lannan estimated the day's take...
...Song Before Supper. Last week The Yellow Rose of Texas was on a gaslit stage back in Civil War days, with drummer girls marching to its stirring beat. Love Is a Many Splendored Thing took place in a many-splendored pastoral scene (with a dismounted Gisele Mackenzie in riding clothes). Love and Marriage was in an abstract setting of sky and bliss, concluding with a wedding procession. The Shifting, Whispering Sands had Snooky Lanson looking like an obbligato against a film showing "the beauty and terror of the desert." Moments to Remember (a comedy number) went to Africa, where...
