...small sons, Artist Grosz instead apprenticed himself to the art of oil painting in 1934, has worked hard at it ever since. Last year his explosive Street Fight stirred visitors at a Whitney Museum annual (TIME, Jan. 3, 1938); single "Studies in Textures" have appeared elsewhere. Last autumn George Grosz became a U. S. citizen. This week he was finally ready for his first one-man show of paintings at the Walker Galleries...

...public appearance so early in the season, practically all the top-crust three-year-olds were in the parade to the post. Favorite was Airman William Boeing's Porter's Mite, the handsome bay colt who outshone all his contemporaries in the classic Belmont Futurity last autumn. Almost as popular was Alfred Gwynne Vanderbilt's Impound, son of famed Sun Beau, who beat Porter's Mite in a short handicap race at Santa Anita two weeks before. The twelve others, proudly prancing to the starting line, were expected to fight it out for third place...
