She still sends violent telegrams to President Roosevelt, occasionally walks round Philadelphia streets carrying a black satchel full of publicity releases and pictures of herself taken shortly after her mother's death. But mostly she stays behind the heavy curtains of her old red-brick house on North 12th St. Her telephone is not listed. Her letterhead does not have an address. Her sister, who lives with her, is almost blind; her Negro answers the doorbell only when it rings a certain number of times. Projecting from the third story is an old Philadelphia "busybody...

The sculpture was set in or against evergreen shrubs or flowering trees and a dozen leafing birches screened a high brick wall in the background. Contemplative visitors could sun themselves on benches. Some of the exhibitors dropped around with their chisels and took final, finicking chips. Despite some absurdities and a monotonous tendency among neo-archaic stone sculptors to leave their forms looking only partly chewed, able and varied work was on hand from Sculptors William Zorach...
