Probably the most famed cubist painting in the world is Marcel Duchamp's Nude Descending a Staircase, which now hangs in the Hollywood home of Walter Conrad Arensberg.

In the much-rehearsed Meister singer, Lehmann was a vital Eva. In Fidelio she was a dramatic, moving Leonore, even in that opera's static, old-fashioned stretches.

In his anxiety to flay the New Deal Publisher McCormick has not been enthusiastic about Mr. McCutcheon's calm, unvitriolic pictures. Last May Colonel McCormick deleted a pro-New Deal McCutcheon cartoon. On two other occasions McCutcheon drawings have been jerked from the Tribune after appearing...
