...Spirit of the Air," words and music by herself, dedicated to Colonel Charles Augustus Lindbergh. "L'amour est une oiseau rebelle. . . ." The customers at the Palace sat alert for the "Habanera" of the World's Greatest Carmen, but the high comb would not stay in the thin bobbed hair, and the flaming shawl was strangely dull. True there was a hint of the old gestures, the old fire, but the Palace audience could not remember, saved their applause for Naughton & Gold, funny indeed, for the triple-tonguing of Trumpeter Rolfe and his slapstick jazz players...

Harvard is indicated on the charge of emotional indifference, and all because of the utilitarian souls of Joe Dube and the Harvard athletic Association...
...HEART AND MY FLESH-Elizabeth Madox Roberts-Viking ($2.50). The Story. Theodosia Bell "was delicately modeled with strong slender limbs, swift in a game, quick-witted at play. Her red-brown hair hung in a ong braid or was twined braided about her head. Her fingers were small and thin, bent strangely about a fiddle, were quick among the fiddle strings, weighted with music." She grew up in a Southern town, a town in which the strong rhythms of life were matched against a cold and dreadful rhythm of decay. There were three men who came to her house, listening...
