...week painted a wheezing steam locomotive pure white, "the bridal color." They shined up a train of cars, screwed onto each a Greek crown in electric lights. Chuffing off went tall, fair, handsome Crown Prince Paul, 36, brother of Greece's George II, and traveled up to the Yugoslav frontier to fetch his German fiancee, broad-faced, broad-smiling Princess Frederika Luise of Hanover, 20.

...family ship chandler business, Composer Carpenter has been an earnest musician and a musical institution in Chicago for some 25 years. Last week he gave his native city the first big work he had composed since 1933, a Concerto for Violin and Orchestra. His good friend, Zlatko Balokovic, Yugoslav violinist, played the Concerto. A friendly audience applauded. Respectful Chicago critics agreed that Composer Carpenter had learned something, but could not quite say what it was. Some attempts: "None-too-deeply-ecstatic emotionalism of a facile fantasy . . . rhythmic vitality . . . mercurial elusiveness. ... It sings . . . in a world of its own, where...
