Another highlight from the back pages of New Masses magazine: "Banquet and Dance. Celebrate the appearance of China Today and hear T. A. Bisson, Earl Browder, Malcolm Cowley, Gen. Yakhontoff, Frederick V. Field, Hansu Chan, and enjoy Native Chinese Food (Served Chinese Style). Dance to the music of the well-known CLUB VALHALLA ORCHESTRA. Sat. Nov. 10th [1934], Irving Plaza...." Curious to know more about the Club Valhalla ensemble, I put the name into Google, but all I came up with were 1952 hearings by the Judiciary Committee's Subcommittee to Investigate the Administration of the Internal Security Act and Other Internal Security Laws. Apparently that ad from New Masses was entered into the record.
