Maier is internationally celebrated for his two-piano work with Lee Pattison, and also for his children's concerts. He first studied the piano in Boston, and later in Berlin with Arthur Schnabel. His style is dynamic, eager, and spiritual, his tone brilliant and scintillating. He is one of the few living pianists whose sense of humor is frequently manifest in his playing. For the past season he has been in charge of the teaching of piano at the University School of Music at Ann Arbor, Michigan, in addition to giving about 50 joint recitals with Mr. Pattison...

But if the characters are not alive, Author Bolitho's writing does live, very noisily indeed. A journalist, 39, he is a regular colyumist...
...Perhaps Poet Lindsay never said quite the same thing before, but the blatant tone of voice is unmistakably his. He is a hell-raiser whose hair is never brushed; like his latest book, he is "aggressive, however sinful and full of pride." Two good poems appear-one an old-style Lindsay chantey, "The Virginians Are Coming Again," and "Twenty Years Ago," a rambling epistle to some anonymous and scornfully rejected patron. As usual, Poet Lindsay wanU these poems to be chanted, hopes that none of them will be set to music. In his recent sojourn in Spokane Poet Lindsay evolved...
