18Word from Mana-Zucca
19(no line here) one of two readings
21Mana-Zucca writes from her home in Miami, Fla., that her little son, Marvin, is very musical and has learned to sing all her songs. Moreover, he has a keen sense of humor. The other day his mother was expecting a violinist and cellist to play some trios. The cellist 'phoned that his cello was out of order and he couldn't play. Little Marvin said: "You can have my dessert in the kitchen to play with," meaning his jello. He also asked the plumber if he were "a sugar plumber."
23Although Mana-Zucca has not been to New York this year on her customary visit, she is still hard at work on many new compositions, several of which will be introduced in New York this season.

According to the Copenhagen Politiken, he is "an artist on a large scale, large even by his instrumental standard, powerful tone, masterful technic, strength and broad lines."
