...basic attribute of Western sculpture, that look of motion kept reappearing throughout the Met's show. It was present in Tullio Lombardo's 15th Century Adam and in Jean Antoine Houdon's 18th Century masterpiece, The Bather. A 20th Century example was the lie de France, a nude female torso by the late great Frenchman Aristide Maillol, who had gone so far as to imitate even the damages to classical sculpture by leaving off head, arms arid feet...
Verdi: Aïda (Beniamino Gigli, tenor; Maria Caniglia, soprano; Ebe Stignani, mezzo-soprano; Gino Bechi, baritone; Italo Tajo, bass, and others with the Rome Opera Orchestra and chorus, Tullio Serafin conducting; Victor, 40 sides).

The Requiem's melting arias, its thumping drums of doom and trumps of wrath have been damned as operatic. In this recent recording of the Mass, Basso Pinza and the chorus sing superbly, Tenor Gigli sounds prosciutto (Italian ham), Maestro Serafin conducts with shattering intensity...
...class of Columbia University, asked to say with whom they would best like to be cast adrift on a desert island, chose blonde, ladylike Madeleine Carroll. Safari promises to reduce this dream to reality when, as Linda Stewart, Cinemactress Carroll is taken by her wealthy admirer Baron de Courland (Tullio Carminati) on a jungle expedition led by dashing Jim Logan (Douglas Fairbanks Jr.). When the matter-of-fact Baron spends most of his time bagging specimens, Linda undertakes to jog him into jealousy and a proposal by flirting with Jim. The moment seems to have arrived when Linda...
