Cornelius Vanderbilt ("Sonny") Whitney, 67, so admired the artist's primitive entitled Snow Bird that he snapped it up for $200 at the exhibition in Manhattan's Wally F. Galleries. Artist Marylou Whitney returned the compliment, laying out $300 for Belted Kingfisher, one of Sonny's nature studies. Luckily, a swarm of other customers also turned up at the champagne party opening the show to pay a total of $8,825 for the 37 works that Mr. and Mrs. Whitney had painted to benefit the Edward R.

...acorns, figs and raw oatmeal. Last year she visited Bach Scholar Albert Schweitzer in Gabon, played Mozart and Bach for him every night for five weeks; he spent his last days listening to her recording of Beethoven's Fourth Piano Concerto.

In prison, Kotch cranks up a steal-a-million scheme, a testament to the faith of moviemakers that a tale so often told must be good for something-even if it is no longer...
...lady's new lease on life originated as a fragile short story by Bertolt Brecht, and Writer-Director Rene Allio sketches it on film with the ease and delicacy of an artist who knows the value of priceless old things. Insurance against the occasional pangs of creeping senility is provided by French Stage Star Sylvie, a clear-eyed, quick-stepping, 81-year-old charmer who plays the title role with no pauses for sentimental nonsense. Whether cruising serenely up and down an escalator or boldly offering a well-weathered wrist to a perfume saleslady, Sylvie exudes the quiet...
