...other cities' seasons so as to get good singers, was last week in the middle of its ninth annual opera fortnight. It heard an ably done Aïda (Soprano Elisabeth Rethberg, Russian Contralto Faina Petrova, Baritone Giuseppe Danise, Tenor Giovanni Martinelli, a bespectacled stage band in the triumph scene) ; a Lohengrin (Tenor Gotthelf Pistor, Soprano Maria Müller, Baritone Friedrich Schorr, all fresh from Bayreuth) ; Andrea Chenier and Madama Butterfly. There were to be seven more performances, all sung by a distinguished troupe but none of them novelties. Most memorable event of the season, about which...
...leave him, a sprig of rosemary. A potent agent in the cinema for what is Good, True & Beautiful, Cinemactor Arliss thus confers a dubious benison on U.

Seventeen men, including onetime President Menocal's two brothers Fausto and Guatimon slipped ashore to sidetrack the pursuers. They were promptly arrested and clapped into Cabana fortress...
This was foxy Machado's greatest victory, and he brought back his prisoners in triumph. The Fernandez Quevedo came into Havana harbor early in the morning. Photographers and newsreel men were there on orders to take the prisoners pictures, broadcast them to the villages where the insurrectos still held out. There was no hint of the shark slide for the captured leaders. On the contrary a great show of courtesy was made-the duration of which would doubtless match the duration of the revolt. Havana regarded Machado's triumph sourly. There were no cheers, there were no crowds...
