...happiness with his new job as musicmaker at the Esterhazys, a job he held for 30 years. Also of particular interest: No. 48 ("Maria Theresa"), which heralds the arrival, in the distance, of the mature symphonist. Of his later and more familiar works, RCA Victor offers a superbly warm performance of No. 93 (the NBC Symphony Orchestra, Guido Cantelli conducting; 6 sides). Recording, on 45 r.p.m.: excellent. London FFRR'S release of No. 101, "The Clock" (L'Orchestre de la Suisse Romande, Ernest Ansermet conducting; 2 sides, LP), is less warm, more straightforward. Recording: good...
...role of Soames and of Young in the part of Bossiney hurt this film before the first reel was shot. Flynn is not equipped to portray a stodgy, meticulous Englishman; and Young was hopelessly awkward as the eccentric, dynamic architect. Little wonder that Miss Garson couldn't warm up to her task opposite two such misfits. Only Pidgeon, who played Young Jolyon, carried out his assignment satisfactorily.

By the time she was 20 she had completed the great classical trilogy with Sleeping Beauty...
...work at the Institute for Advanced Study at Princeton. Last spring Columbia University named him visiting professor of physics. One day last week, Yukawa dismissed his class for the day and reported to the office of Columbia's President Dwight Eisenhower. There he received a warm handshake and hearty congratulations. At 42, Hideki Yukawa had become the first of his countrymen to win a Nobel Prize. The $30,000 prize in physics was awarded for the theory Yukawa had propounded 14 years ago. (The Nobel Prize in chemistry went to University of California Professor William F. Giauque -pronounced...
There is a new saint. "Outery" brings in the problem of rural social stratification to provide a running contrast to the battles, love affairs and brutalities. A rich family owns a foundry in the town, and uses wood to warm its hothouse pincapples while the proletariat freezes. The female leader of this clan, which doesn't like the Germans or the Fascists but is more afraid of the peasants than either of them, is vying for the affections of the partisan here with a poverty-stricken, soulful-eyed young lady...
