...chief justiceship with some reluctance. Not so Charles Evans Hughes. It is a lonely job?one of the world's few entirely exalted and lonely life-jobs. By custom the Chief Justice is hedged off from free and easy association with his fellow beings lest they in some inexplicable manner corrupt his integrity, warp his judicial soul. Chief Justice White sought solitude to the point of never accepting a Washington invitation, of avoiding all official functions. For all his surface affability Chief Justice Taft observed much the same caution in his daily contacts. He shunned Society and it was only...
...essential will it be necessary for Mr. Hughes to change his manner of life. He is a lonely man. These last years he has been making the "real money"?two or three hundred thousand a year perhaps?that he promised himself, when he left the Coolidge cabinet. He has not made it by much bartering and foregathering with his fellow man. Day after day he has gone to a skyscraper club for lunch?alone, or possibly with his partner and son, Charles Evans Hughes Jr.* with whom he has returned quickly to the office. Even on his frequent trips...
...writer in Washington. Virginia-born 35 years ago, Newsman West has covered many a National Convention in his 16 years' work with the A. P.

Now 38, leading an unheckled life in Manhattan, he writes more simply and with greater deference to melody. Yet it was music done in his first, scorned manner which caused the furor last week-his Scythia Suite, fearfully exhilarating with its barbaric dances, its wailings, its concluding salute to the sun; then his Second Piano Concerto, originally composed in 1913 but lost when the Soviet Government confiscated all Prokofiev property in Leningrad and only recently rewritten from sketches...
...Singers Frieda Hempel, Anna Case, Sophie Braslau, Louise Homer, Dusolina Giannini, Mabel Garrison, Reinald Werrenrath, Louis Graveure, Pianist Josef Lhevinne, Violinist Mischa Elman. Violinist Jascha Heifetz had also started to slip. The public found him cold, expressionless. But since his marriage to Cinemactress Florence Vidor his concert manner has warmed, his box-office value increased. Conversely, names which will be worth more next year are Negro Baritone Paul Robeson (TIME, Nov. 18) and Pianist Jose Iturbi (TIME, Dec. 30), the outstanding successes of the season; Singers Rosa Ponselle, Elisabeth Rethberg, Sigrid Onegin, Florence Austral, Lawrence Tibbett, John Charles Thomas, Pianist...
