These Foolish Things
MA4* AFFORD’S New Zealand-written thriller, "The Queer Affair at Kettering"-an excellent one, parenthetically, but it has been noticed here before-wound up in fine style from 3YA the other night, It concludes, you
may recall, with the detective and his wife driving home in triumph singing a Song of the Returning Hunter, the chorus and most of.the refrain of which consists of the words "The bear went over the mountain,’ repeated many times. The war-chant lasted some time, as they kept breaking off to explain the solution of the mystery to one another; but finally it died away in the distance. Then there was a short silence, and the antiouncer, in the voice of one who has tasted all the bitterness in the world, said, "You will now hear Night on Bare Mountain, by Moussorgsky."
