First test of the boycott came fortnight ago with the opening of the Worcester Art Museum's second biennial show of U. S. paintings. Because Director Francis Henry Taylor could not and would not pay rentals, the following well-known U. S. artists refused to submit pictures: Alexander Brook, Bernard Karfiol, Ernest Fiene, Yasuo Kuniyoshi, Morris Kantor, Reginald Marsh, Katherine Schmidt, Arnold Blanch, Paul Cadmus, Niles Spencer, Henry Schnakenberg. Director Taylor freely admitted that the boycott badly handicapped his exhibition...
...last hole of the last match of the biennial Ryder Cup Tournament between U. S. and British golf professionals. Inches from the pin, sure of a four, lay the ball of British Open Champion Alfred Perry, one up after 35 holes of play. Thirty feet away, lying two, was the ball of U. S. Open Champion Sam Parks, noted when he won the championship last June for deliberateness approaching the fidgets. Deliberate now, while some 5,000 watchers held their breath, Sam Parks finally tapped his ball, rolled it squarely into the cup for a birdie three and a tied...

With Laborite and Liberal Zionists in the saddle, the Congress elected as its president goateed Dr. Chaim Weizmann, British industrial chemist who was ousted by extreme Right Wingers four years ago (TIME, July 27, 1931).

...month for festivals throughout the U.S., the month when Bethlehem, Pa. makes its annual bow to Bach, when Conductor Frederick Stock takes his Chicago Symphony to Cornell College, Iowa, and on to Ann Arbor, Mich., where local choristers have long sung like professionals. Cincinnati's biennial festival took five days last week. Soloists were there from Manhattan's Metropolitan Opera. Seven hundred schoolchildren sang at the Saturday matinee. Trained adults were well equal to Mendelssohn's Elijah, to Bach's St. Matthew Passion. Conductor Eugene Goossens had prepared three premieres especially for the occasion: Atalanta...
Because the biennial festival is Cincinnati's big social turnout, no one was busier last week than Marion Devereux, the chirping, bright-eyed little spinster who writes the society reams for the Cincinnati Enquirer (TIME, May 8, 1933). Marion Devereux is a dictator in her own small sphere. She tells Cincinnati matrons when to give their parties. As a reporter, she is rarely seen taking notes but no detail escapes her. The Enquirer ran 29½ columns of society news on the festival last week. Mr. Benjamin W. Lamson "deserted his own box party to enjoy Miss Ferguson...
