...silent Meistersinger moves with a light-footedness impossible in grand opera. Clearly these capable German actors like their. material and understand it. They play the old roles slyly, fast and broadly -the whimsical Hans Sachs, the vicious Beckmesser, the hesitating Pogner. Good shots: the fracas outside Hans Sachs' shop; Beckmesser appearing before the Grand Council without his toupee...
...long-legged Hurdler Facelli of Italy, Joachim Buchner and Harry Storz, the German quarter-milers, and Sprinter Eldracher were asked. Among Finns, the invitations went to Harry Larva and Toivo Loukola, but not, for some reason, to Paavo Nurmi who, tinkering with an old automobile in his machine-shop in Turku, shrugged his shoulders and looked hard at his work when reporters asked him whether it were true that he had been feeling sick lately.

Tall, white-bearded, leonine, he walks scholarly, reflective paths at his home on Boar's Hill, near Oxford. Careless of the social niceties, when his tea is too hot he pours it into the saucer to cool it. Careful of pennies, he will stamp out of a tobacconist's shop in high dudgeon if he thinks the pipe-tobacco a halfpenny dearer than it should be. His life has been unexciting. He pays little attention to young critics who dismiss his poetry with the same adjective...
