Lily Pons: Program (Columbia, 6 sides). The Met's little wren perches on a high E and holds it in Caro Nome from Verdi's Rigoletto. Just as showy are Heinrich Proch's Theme and Variations for Soprano Voice and David's Charmant Oiseau from La Perle du Brésil. Performance : excellent...

He wheeled them into the draft meeting and went to work...
