Very much in evidence was her companion, twice-married Mrs. Victoria Price, with whom (and seven white boys) she bummed her way to Chattanooga and back. Mrs. Price says she supports herself & mother on the $13 a month she makes at a Huntsville cotton mill. In court she appeared the last word in cracker chic.

Last week Manhattan's Town Hall filled quickly and completely to hear the team play Brahms's A Major Sonata, Mozart's B Flat Sonata, and Beethoven's Kreutzer Sonata (socalled because Beethoven dedicated it to Rodolphe Kreutzer, a French violinist who never took the trouble to play it).
