...called Four Saints in Three Acts although it has some 30 saints, a prelude and four acts. It was given in the new Avery Memorial wing of the Wadsworth Athenaeum and sponsored by "The Friends & Enemies of Modern Music." This New England organization is headed by A. Everett ("Chick") Austin Jr., a rich young Hartforder who directs the Hartford Museum and knew Virgil Thomson at Harvard when that young composer wore kid gloves to scull on the Charles...
...seriously about the "undistinguished, commonplace, not to say common, appearance of most of our public men." He suggested putting them in wigs. The editors of Life contrived a more childish and practical solution. A page of four photographs called "Whiskerreotypes" in the current issue shows Senator Borah in a Chick Sale goatee.

High School. When Chick was 6, his fa ther began teaching him to kick. Last year Chick gave an exhibition between halves of the California-St. Mary's game, kicked 108 consecutive goals from the 10 yd. line (20 yd. from the goal posts). His Brother Bud, 12, is less interested, less proficient. Between halves of last week's game at the Polo Grounds, in which the New York Giants swamped the Philadelphia Eagles 56-to-0, Father & Son Brickley started the schoolboy kicking carnival, saw a youngster named Charles Goodell of New York's Curtis High...
