...mention a list of Jewish composers among them Ravel, Mendelssohn, Rubinstein, Saint-Saens, and Bloch. Very fine and good. But you clever editors must have your say. A little note does the trick! So you lightly dismiss the Jewish composers with "But Beethoven, Wagner, Strauss, Tschaikowsky, etc., etc., vere Gentiles." Your entire attitude is nothing short of insulting to the intelligence of your readers. It is 100% befitting vacuocaputs. Do you think for a moment you can get away with that "etc., etc.,"? Must you confess you were stumped, or were you too lazy to look up any more Gentile...
...This cumbersome title represents a neat straddle. Mr. Asquith would have been honored out of all proportion to his services to the Crown had he received the earldom of Oxford, originally conferred by the Empress Matilda on Aubrey de Vere in 1142 and accordingly weighted with hoary honors beyond expression. By adding "and Asquith," the powers-that-be adroitly earmarked as of recent bestowal a title held in its day by what Macaulay described as "the most illustrious line of nobles that England has seen...
...Vere Reynolds and William Royd are not nearly so effective as they were in "The Road to Yesterday." Charlie Murray walks away with the picture in a very silly drunken burlesque. Boyd's pleasant boyishness is deadened by steel furnaces and all those dandy things we used to explore on Chemistry excursions.

We've wondered since how such industries could go on with all of First Year Chemistry playing hide-and-go-seek among the Bessemers...
...NAKED MAN ? Vere Hutchinson?Century ($2). A man's dream of one woman, his lust for another, need of a third?these are his nakedness. A son,' conceived in drunkenness and evil, had stagnated in the murk of a coal mine for 13 years with but two gleams of light?the dream of a girl he had loved in boyhood, and the memory of a year spent convalescing from illness on an uncle's farm. Unexpectedly the farm was bequeathed to him. With his dull wife and the bitter memory of a stillborn son, he went to the land...
...people who have read about the much-touted Park Avenue chimes may be aware that there is another carillon, made by the same English bell foundry, only slightly inferior in range of bells, in St. Stephen's Church, Cohasset, Mass. Kam Lefévere is carilloneur. For some two years he has given concerts of carillon music on Sunday afternoons when the weather is warm. In place of a worthy patriotic air, Mr. Lefévere has a way of ending with a fantasia by Benoit, a carillon arrangement of Schubert or Rubenstein or his own graceful "Preludium...
