Since her marriage to Kostelanetz, Pons has become the top attraction at summer concerts in U. S. parks and stadiums. The coloratura voice, which even musical dopes can tell is high-priced, accounts for part of her drawing power, but not all. Andre Kostelanetz is a competent stick-waver, and on records and the radio he plays, not symphonies and not jazz, but the kind of music plain people really like: his arrangements of "standard" pieces, Victor Herbert and such, beautifully done up in balanced brass, reed and string tones, as rich as a lobster Newburg well laced with sherry...
Seven years ago horse racing was a summer sport. But since the opening of California's Santa Anita Park and its $100,000 Handicap, winter racing has attracted all the top-notch U. S. stables, most of their top-notch thoroughbreds. Santa Anita's opening, on the Saturday after Christmas, has become as red-letter a date on the U.

Instead of tractors to haul the huge starting gate around, California's latest track sports 16 beautifully matched, blue-ribbon Percherons (eight greys, eight blacks)-undefeated at California horse shows for the past two years. "There'll be a horse show as well as horse races every...
...34th Street station by which one can walk all the way to 42nd Street. Proud but not satisfied is the city's Board of Transportation. Included in plans for the far future : an East Side subway to replace the 2nd and 3rd Avenue elevateds, a subway under Central Park, four new tunnels under the East River and one to Staten Island...
