"Living room" music would be a better term, states an article in the September issue of House Beautiful, Such music makes wonderful listening on the family phonograph, but the real fun is in playing it yourself.

Also, there is a clearning house for surplus chamber music and music with missing parts. Each member grades himself for the directory and gives his home address, telephone number, occupation and business address.

25 At dusk, on Sept. 30, 1955, a brilliant young actor was seated behind the wheel of a white, low-slung German sports car, speeding toward road race at Salinas, Cal. When he reached a highway Junction near Paso Robles, another car pulled out into the road. There was a crash. His neck and arms were broken, his left side crushed.

He was dead before he reached a hospital. Thus passed James Dean at 24. But his legend refuses to die. Interest in the actor, especially among young Americans, continues to grow. Dean received only a trickle of fan letters in his lifetime.

Brooks, who identified Dean's broken body after the crash, refleeted on the surge of interest in the actor: "It seems to be a sense of Identification on the part of the young kids in America.

They are confused and mixed up--and with good reason. In our youth, life was fairly simple; you could look forward to a reasonably certain future. What do the kids of today have to look forward to?"
