- THIS WEEK'S COVER
- Two of civilization’s triumphs were invention of the phonograph and invention of soundproof booths to go play it in. Thornton Utz’s menagerie of music lovers, all loving a different kind of music, somehow reminds us of the average family living room, containing one phonograph and five people. There comes an hour at the end of the day, which might be called the Debaters’ Hour, when papa wants to hear a Harry Lauder record, mamma votes for Beethoven, Mary craves a good croon, little Billy yearns to rehear what Oscar Albatross said to Lenny the Loon, and grandma is glad she is deaf. What a pity science can’t adapt the music-store-booth idea to one wall of the sitting room—reserving one booth for utter silence.
