They range from shoestring producers to such established companies as Jerry Fairbanks, Inc., which employs a timesaving three-camera technique (TIME, March 6, 1950). Broidy Productions (owned by a brother of the head of Monogram Pictures) makes Wild Bill Hickok films for TV, and turns out a 30-minute religious show with such titles as Sister Martha Bets 'Em Big.

Ever since their turn-of-the-century brethren failed to gauge the force and direction of modern art, the critics, not to be caught again, have been resolutely seeking out new and strange varieties of painting to explain to the public. The modern-art bandwagon may never stop rolling, but Wyeth rolls blithely in another direction. And his back road may lead to a new turnpike...
