...radio audience never hears. Engineer Charles C. Grey has a control panel at his fingertips; Production Man Herbert Liversidge hardly lifts his eyes from an edited, last-minute score. Liversidge reads the score some six bars ahead, keeps Grey posted with hand signals on who or what is coming-a thumb-forefinger circle for female soloists, a single, raised finger for men; two for duets, all five for choruses, a clinched fist for the whole works. Grey watches the signals, ready to take squeals out of coloraturas, distortion out of tenors, ear-splits out of ensembles...
...most radio listeners, however, a third man in Box 44 is synonymous with opera itself. He is 42-year-old Milton John Cross, a huge, humble, bespectacled, music-charmed announcer whose cultured, genuflecting voice seems to his public to come straight from NBC's artistic soul.

For three years Dr. Cabot has stamped and stormed for group medical service. Last year a group of prominent Boston laymen, headed by Law yer Francis Henry Russell, dumped a plan for cheap, wholesale medical care on Dr. Cabot's doorstep. Dr. Cabot read and ap proved the plan, discussed it with four sympathetic colleagues-among them Dr. Channing Frothingham, former president...

With this sage precept in mind, a group of Manhattan socialites set out to organize an exhibition for the benefit of civilian relief in France. Result: a sprightly show that opened on Manhattan's 57th Street last week-"The Horse...
