...would like to know the street and number of the most famous cafes, the correct hour to appear at the Lido, the sophisticated approach to the inside of Blarritz, San Sebastian, St. Moritz, Marienbad, or Monte Carlo--in short, if you would acquire a large slice of that savoir faire which marks the experienced traveler, try PLEASURE IF POSSIBLE, by Karl K. Kitchen (Rae D. Henkle Co., New York. 1928, $2.50.) With an introduction by Will Rogers, it provides for every necessity, and supplies a passport for the gay life abroad...
Handsome, stocky, dark, and dapper, Gene Sarazen, walked round a golf course at Nassau with dour Johnny Farrell, voted the best dressed U. S. golfer. At the ninth hole Sarazen was a stroke behind.

But like most men who set formulas for themselves, he has overlooked the divine spark within himself, the spark that made the Sophoclean drama the greatest of human tragedies. In spite of himself, Stravinsky's (Edipus music is dramatic, tragedy-telling, alarming, dreadsome-in short, as exciting as any catastrophe, as comprehensible as any of the passions by which Fate works its will upon the simple soul...
