...loyal Sketch Clubber for 50 years was red-faced, sedate Portraitist Louis Hasselbusch. He never missed a Christmas party; when he died in 1938 he left the club $500 towards the party's upkeep, plus his "pictures, sketches and studio effects."

Last week, with 350,000 sheet-music copies and some 350,000 records sold to date, the revived Oh Johnny, Oh Johnny, Oh! was nudging South of the Border for first place on the best-seller list.
