Coming from stock, known in Thuring-Tan musical circles during 150, years before his birth, J. S. Bach was the first great evolutionary composer of the family. Serious, systematic, rigid in form, and strictly classical in his compositions, with a profound religious faith. Bach was the greatest master who ever wrote polyphonic music. Although his age was a somewhat mechanical one, we find in Bach a great master of deep expression, often touching the romantic...
...song & dance to follow closely after the ebullient crooning and outflung gesturing of primitive Africans, it is logical that the Negro revue should crop up more frequently, with growing success. In Manhattan, the nation's theatrical headquarters, only two new shows opened last week. Both were "black-&-tan" affairs.

City-bleached people flock to the seashore to get a coat of tan. Soon, perhaps, they may sit in their offices and bake to a brown that would shame a lifeguard. For Architect Hugh Ferriss plans skyscrapers of glass-the kind that permits health-giving ultraviolet rays to come in-threaded with steel beams. Last week he showed to newsgatherers a model which he had designed for next month's Machine Age Exposition in Manhattan-a little structure like a faery crystal palace strung with moon-shafts. In exchange for a minimum of privacy, which could readily be increased...
