...musical credit for his general victory in the running battle to keep everyone together with his 25-piece orchestra, while the stage direction of Arthur Schoep also keeps the pace lively with an abundance of stage movement. There is never a quiet moment. The borrowed sets are very stylish, as are Leo Van Witsen's costumes. The biggest advantage of using Agassiz is that its small size allows most of the words to be heard. The Barber is a perfect opera to do in English, as the witty text stands translation better than do the tragic works of the next...
Somehow, in an era when tennis has quickened into a slam-bang game of brief, explosive rallies.

She knew intuitively when to extend credit and when to collect bills (she once successfully sued the late Jimmy Walker for his wife's unpaid $12,059 balance). She often quite literally sold the clothes off her back to eager customers, but would never allow a woman to buy a dress that seemed unsuitable. Her surplus energy spilled into other businesses, all of them successful: hats, jewelry, antiques, perfumes-even chocolate candy. By last year Hattie Carnegie Inc. was doing a gross business...
