Perhaps Clark's greatest asset is his personal charm, his biggest failing an insatiable appetite for publicity. (Once, during a concert in Salzburg, he suddenly appeared in his box bathed in bluish light while the orchestra played ruffles & flourishes.) But he has managed to turn even this fault to good use. Whenever the Russians are too adamant he calls in the boys of the press. He has found that Moscow is sensitive to U.S. and world public opinion; on occupation matters-such as Russia's recent-land-grab attempt in Burgenland-the Reds sometimes bow to hostile press...
Despite lavish sets and a horde of turbaned, five o'clock shadowed extras, "A Night in Casablanca" is a funny picture, but far below the capacities of the Brothers Marx. Its primary fault lies not in the plot, but that there is a plot at all, which, vaguely, concerns a group of post-war Nazis and their attempt to transfer stolen European loot to South America.

Said he gloomily, to anyone who would listen: "I need an A-1 catcher. My pitchers...
Prokoieff: Scythian Suite, Opus 20, (DM 1040) displays almost to a fault Prokoieff's acute sense for the bizarre. Originally written as a ballet, its frenzied turbulence made it unsuited to that form. The Suite is Prokoieff's first work of any major importance and its lack of profundity puts it within the reach of the somewhat limited capabilities of Desire Defauw and the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, but even the technical difficulties are sometimes too great for them. Recording is poor...
