...famed U. S. Secretary of the Treasury was James Madison's Swiss-born Albert Gallatin (1761-1849), who helped draft the treaty that ended the War of 1812. Last week Albert Gallatin's wealthy, socialite great-grandson gave an art exhibition at Manhattan's Paul Reinhardt Galleries. Assisting him were the equally social Charles G. Shaw, Susie Frelinghuysen and her husband George L. K. Morris, who attracted a modicum of attention last summer by inserting the name of their snub-nosed Pekingese, Rose, in the New York Social Register. Artists Gallatin, Shaw, Frelinghuysen & Morris hung up some...
Oldest, ablest, most interesting of these abstractionists is Artist Albert Eugene Gallatin, Eugene to his friends, though art critics know him better as a patron than a producer of art. Always free from the necessity of earning a living. Eugene Gallatin was definitely one of the lads in the days of pearl-button reefers and horse-headed canes. A member of the swank Union Club for many years, he was founder, remains president of the moribund Motor-Car Touring Society, whose object was to bring a tone of dashing sportsmanship to the horseless carriage...
Among the many good works of Secretary Albert Gallatin was the founding of New York University. In 1927 Connoisseur Albert Eugene Gallatin announced that he was presenting to his great-grandfather's college a collection to be known as the Museum of Living Art.

U.'s Washington Square branch, because of his belief that pictures should be lived with, not visited on pilgrimage...
With French President & Mme Albert Lebrun, last week French Premier & Mme Leon Blum went one evening to Paris' now splendidly refurnished Opera to hear a concert by the London Philharmonic. As fiddles sighed and flutes tootled, there began to be furtive activity in the rear of the Presidential Box. Just in case of another French Revolution, it is equipped as a telephonic nerve centre, attuned not only to Paris but to prefectures of all France, and that night last week trouble was already brewing hot in Clichy...
...Brettenham House, he speaks only when spoken to. last week, entitled to speak only when spoken to, was President Albert L. Viles of the Rubber Manufacturers Association, which is the nearest thing to a trade "institute" individualistic U. S. rubbermen will tolerate. Had he been asked, Mr. Viles would have told the committee that U. S. rubber consumption was currently running 16% ahead of last year while rubber stocks on hand have dipped below the 200,000-ton mark for the first time since 1930. At the end of last year each of the Big Four U. S. rubber companies...
