Soprano Maynor, whose patroness (Miss Mary Hayden of Boston) had to buy her debut gown last year, is now in the bank-account class. She has moved from Manhattan's Harlem to musical West 57th Street. Besides singing with the four major symphony orchestras (New York Philharmonic, Boston, Philadelphia, Chicago), she made a triumphant concert return to Hampton Institute, in whose choir her voice began. This season Dorothy Maynor has engagements in 27 States, is making two big cross-country tours. Boxofficially she is not yet the peer of big-voiced Contralto Marian Anderson, who sells out Carnegie Hall...
Adam was resold for about $8,000 to a British dress manufacturer named John Herbert, who shipped him to the U. S. on what he hoped would be a money-making junket.

Tops in both prestige and sales from 1883 to 1939 was the American Art Association-Anderson Galleries, which auctioned over $160,000,000 worth of art. Every big U. S. art fancier knew its dignified building on Manhattan's esthetic 57th Street, its shrewdly-lit, velvet-draped auction stage. But spooks lurked behind that arras. Last summer the American Art Association-Anderson Galleries folded up for nonpayment of debts (TIME, Aug. 21). Last week its two partners gave Manhattan its best mystery story since Drug Dealer Frank Donald Coster (TIME. Dec. 19, 1938, et seq.). Tabloids christened...
