But for all the strange clutter, it was the studio of Britain's dean of portraitists: bearded crusty old Augustus John, still vigorous and sharp-eyed at 74. In the six months, John has picked up the sculptor's knife and found a new enthusiasm for life. It's my second breath...
...squirmy, spring-legged, 4½-year-old son into a $40,000-a-year net asset. Ketcham's Dennis the Menace is syndicated in 112 U.S. newspapers and in 52 others all over the world.

With skyscrapers in the distance, his Greenwich Village garden has a striking perspective, but best of all is his Village nightclub with deep reds, clutter of paintings, and mammoth mobiles. His costumes for the dances staged by Donald Saddler are equally imaginative, particularly in an expressive number about the sister's hunt for job's and in the adagio jitter-bug of the nightclub scene...
