...wicked fellow. The difficulty of her position is that the buccaneer has scruples about innocent girls. But she overcomes these. Enchanted Isle. While a willowy debutante strives to elude an effete Italian Count, the robust forest ranger comes on from the West. He is a tenor; she a soprano. Passion's progress is recorded rather musically in "Close in Your Arms," "Voice of the High Sierras," "Enchanted Isle" and other duets. Ida Hoyt Chamberlain, concert singer, wrote it all-book, lyrics, music-and her friends produced it under an incognito of towering pretension, to wit, American Allied Arts...
...THEATRE IN LIFE?Nicolas Evreinov?Brentano ($3.50). M. Evreinov's Russian ingenuity has excelled in such varied activities as circus performing, archaeology, law, novels, history and flute-playing, but his chief passion and reputation are in the theatre. This book, a more or less formal attempt to enunciate a philosophy, elaborates Shakespeare's dictum about all the world being a stage. Poet Robert Burns would have been interested, for M.

This year, however, from July 19 to Aug. 20, it is being resumed under the stage direction of Siegfried Wagner .(son of the composer), the orchestral leadership of Karl Elmendorf, Karl...
...history and spirit of early painting in Italy. Robert H. Benson is head of a potent, English banking house which bears his name. With the assistance of his wife, who is related to the late Sir George Lindsay Holford, another owner of famed Italian masterpieces, he indulged his passion for art collecting over a period of approximately 40 years (he is now 77). Why should Mr. Benson now allow his matchless treasures to pass from his possession? A hint is thrown out by the fact that high income taxes and inheritance taxes in Great Britain have influenced many a wealthy...
...unusually refreshing bit of froth, only to flatten it with her usual pomposity. The heroine, a little Miss Main Street, is infatuated with the-idea of marrying a duke. Only after she has been taught the error of her snobbish ways and given an opportunity to register truly philosophic passion under half-closed eyelids, does she discover that her fiancé, Mr. Smith, is in reality the Duke of Westborough. Thereupon, morality and the sugar plum go down together...
