| "When I first heard
Debussy’s Clair de Lune, for example, I was ironing and listening

cascading. It was like standing in falling moonlight." |

Rare Indeed! — Peter Mara
| "The German actor’s

spoken against the ragged yet tuneful singing, conjures up a picture of
lonely sailors in some foggy seaport longing for the warmth and love of
their homes." |
