...house on Long Island, another in California, at both of which she indulges her fondness for elaborate aviaries and collecting fountain pens. She-Wolf, is her first cinema; in it her loyal secretary Lillian Harmer plays the part of Hetty Green's servant. Der Grosse Tenor (UFA). Possibly his panoramic countenance and the slow elaboration of detail to which Cinemactor Emil Jannings is addicted have helped to convince critics that his characterizations are more searching than they really are. Nonetheless, he often contrives to take a banal situation-in this case that of an opera singer who loses...
...high traditions. The programs were for the most part ambitious and substantial. Brahms's great German Requiem came first in honor of the late Frank van der Stucken who for many years directed the Festival. Of the soloists, two from England made promising U. S. debuts-Tenor Walter Widdop and Contralto Muriel Brunkskill. Lily Pons, the Metropolitan's new French find, walked away with a program on which she sang three florid coloratura airs. But the hero for the duration of the five day Festival was Conductor Eugene Goossens. Conductor Goossens, for seven years leader of the Rochester...
...individual may conceivably be the product of House units. And if faculties are such fools as the writer believes they may carelessly allow a hot-head or two to wiggle into their midst. In one of his minor digressions, Mr. Hale attacks Professor Babbitt of Harvard. From the tenor of the article, one might expect Professor Babbitt to be the epitome of the author's desires.

Pianist Ignace Jan Paderewski, whom Mr. Engles manages, drew the largest business-$500.000. Next best, box-officially, were Violinist Fritz Kreisler, Tenor John McCormack, Pianist Serge Rachmaninoff. Chicago and Manhattan paid more for concerts this year than last; Cincinnati, Pittsburgh, Kansas City paid less. As in 1929 La Porte, Ind., was found to be the most musical city per capita in the U. S. (TIME, Feb. 25, 1929). Of its 15,575 population...
Most U. S. school children would probably find the Brecht-Weill opus perplexing. The pattern is complex: Lindbergh's Flight is a cantata for orchestra, chorus and soloists. Lindbergh, represented by a tenor, describes himself, his preparations, his emotions during the flight, in a pompous, swaggering manner quite unlike the popular U. S. idea of him. The chorus exhorts him as he starts, exalts him in a hymnlike way at the finish. During the flight a baritone radios all ships to watch out for him. A bass solo, with the smoothest music in the cantata, urges him to sleep...
