...only a poet, but a Jew. Author Untermeyer, Jew and poet also, and a lifelong admirer of Heine's works, adopts in general the Freudian view, fills it out with consistent sympathy and understanding. If he errs in ascribing a more-than-probable importance to a bit of blighted calf love, skims perhaps too lightly over episodes in which the poet's sharp temper led him into really unsavory actions, these must be taken as no more than traces of that basic partisanship which every good biographer must have.

...music of the Strauses is usually able to cover a multitude of sins, and succeeds in doing so again in Hassard Short's musical extravaganza, "The Three Waltzes," now playing at the Boston Opera House.
