From Italy came the art of painting and many of the world's greatest painters. By the middle of the 19th Century, when the intricate casserole of Italian States was boiling into a solid whole, Italian painting had fallen to such low estate that Author Edmond About could justly say that Italy was "the grave of painting." Last week the Royal Italian Government, the College Art Association and the Italy American Society collaborated to bring to Manhattan's Rockefeller Center a loan Exhibition of 90 pictures by 29 young Italians intended to show how far from the grave...
...Behind this painting lay what seemed to be six window shades. Unrolled, they proved to be six separate paintings on specially woven flexible Dutch canvas that could be detached and placed separately about the walls. This device was the contribution of Artist Hilaire Hiler, 38, to the dilemma of art-lovers living in apartments which lack sufficient wall space to display canvases.

Chaplin is an anachronism; having learned the art of pantomime for the silents, he isn't going to give it up because some fool invented a way to make the flickers squawk. And being old-fashioned, he restores slapstick to its lusty youth. It dazzles by the force of its mad pollmell succession. The tempo is definitely stepped up way above normal; the old trick...
