Yet the two little girls dancing to a barrel organ in last week's show, or the puzzled baby watching her bald father play the guitar, are blameless bits of conservative painting. The mere fact, 30 years ago, that these men were attempting to paint the life around them, instead of duchesses in pearls, goddesses in Greek draperies, or New England valleys in a pink mist was enough to deny them admission...

Andre Kostelanetz is a plump, semi-bald radio orchestra leader of high talent. Last summer he achieved the kind of publicity radiofolk dote on by flying from New York to Los Angeles and back on 13 consecutive week ends. In Manhattan he conducted a radio show; in Hollywood he would ask Lily Pons to marry him. On the 13th proposal she said, "Yes."
