...Fifteen years ago the vast bulk of the Metropolitan Museum, the cluster of dealers along Fifth Avenue and 57th Street, and pre-auction exhibits at the Anderson and American Art Galleries (since combined), were about all the art that a visitor to Manhattan could see. Since then, thanks to public-spirited tycoons, the art map of New York has spread and sprouted richly. Today an art-conscious visitor should not leave Manhattan without a pilgrimage that will cover more than ten miles, take him into some 100 institutions. Among the most important stops...
Last week the Allied Dental Council moved its headquarters from grubby lower Manhattan near Cooper Union to prosperous West 57th Street near Calvary Baptist Church. For the star attraction of their dedication program they invited non-Jewish Dr. Victor Hugo Sears to give them his first formal explanation of a new kind of false teeth...
...Manhattan's most oddly located churches is Calvary Baptist, a stronghold of pure Fundamentalism in West 57th Street within denouncing distance of bars, smart shops, noisy apartment hotels, racy night clubs. Sounding board of the late loud Dr. John Roach Straton, Calvary is seldom without a guest evangelist who fills its auditorium not with the demimonde from nearby streets but with mousy Manhattanites in no need of evangelization.

...free Holy Writ to the hotels and there flourishes the largest Bible publishing house in the Western Hemisphere, the American Bible Society. The latter organization, 120 years old, last week passed another milestone by dedicating a new $500,000 home, a six-story stone building at Park Avenue and 57th Street, remodeled and air-conditioned. Since 1853 the American Bible Society's Bible House had been a landmark in fusty, downtown Astor Place. From its big old red brick building, it has sent out 135,000,000 Bibles and texts in 972 languages and dialects to all parts...
Modern painting is less than 30 years old in the U. S. It has already produced a slim collection of artists whose eminence no intelligent critic in 1936 would dream of challenging. Manhattan's 57th Street, commercial centre of the U. S. art world, last week decorously hailed the opening of the Season with memorial exhibitions of the work of two of these recently canonized masters. At the Kleemann and Keppel Galleries respectively appeared the works of the late Arthur Bowen Davies, the late George Wesley Bellows...
