...even such grave threats to his country's serenity President Masaryk does not allow to disturb the calm tenor of his daily life. Maintaining the burning interest in all varieties of subjects which has caused him to write books on everything from Hypnotism and Suicide to Marxism and the problem of small European nations, he still reads voluminously in four languages. He loves a brisk canter on horseback, or a romp with his small grandsons, children of Charles Revilliod, who only a few years ago used to play naked as jays in the gardens of the presidential summer palace...
...native who in 1898 founded the Bach Festivals, made them bravely survive the invasion of steel. Conductor Carey used "Mr. Fred's" chorus composed of Lehigh Valley amateurs. Like "Mr. Fred," he had players from the Philadelphia Orchestra and four capable soloists (Soprano Ethyl Hayden, Contralto Rose Bampton, Tenor Dan Gridley, Basso Julius Huehn).

Let it stand 'Betray the union of his youth,' " and then resumed the even tenor of his oratory. Two days later he cracked another head. Forney Johnston, a slender, sharp-nosed Southerner, representative of the Alabama coal operators, came and delivered an ultimatum to NRA. Said he: "The hours and wages amendments to the bituminous code combine the law of the jungle with the worst...
...ballet, Litter in the Street, presented last week in Town Hall as the feature of a Children's Spring Festival. Children in Daisy Blau's Dance Group pretended to be street dirt while two pianos played jazzy music by Will Irwin, and Howard Phillips, a radio tenor, declaimed Mrs. Shipman's verses, gesticulating passionately. Whirling papers, dusty mops, cans, cans, pots and pans brought on lugubrious germs which attacked a group of innocent children. A dozen trim sweepers saved the situation by singing the Clean City Committee's Marching Song. Excerpt...
