...last week six top aircraft executives of the East-including Guy Vaughan of Curtiss-Wright, Glenn Martin of Martin, Larry Bell of Bell Aircraft-packed their bags and entrained for California. They went West to meet Pacific Coast producers and set up a new National Air craft War Production Council. Aim: to help cut production red tape for the whole airplane industry...
Happily enough, the at best spotty program started off well, with Malcolm Holmes conducting the "Let Us Now Praise Famous Men" of Vaughan-Williams. The choruses were together and the orchestra was with them. The horns made one or two minor mistakes but if the rest of the evening had been foreseen, a minor victory would have immediately been registered. Immediately following this, G. Wallace Woodworth led the Radcliffe group through the oft-repeated Purcell "Nymphs and Shepherds," two choruses of Bela Bartok and the Schubert "Valses Nobles," the latter being one good reason why transcriptions should be made with...

It was he who with few rehearsals, whipped the Navy group into an organization which with a bit more practice and polish will become a well rounded, smoothly functioning unit. It was his work, the Incidental Music to Alice in Wonderland, with...
Celebrating the 70th birthday of Vaughan Williams, England's most outstanding contemporary musical creator, Harvard and Radcliffe will join in singing his "Let Us Now Praise Famous Men." Highlighting the program also will be two choruses by Bela Bartok, considered the greatest of Hungary's modern contributors and now lecturer on music at Harvard under the Horatio Appleton Lamb fund...
