Newshawks, who had not had such a story in a coon's age, went to Brooklyn to call on a character named George Vernard, who had represented one of Coster's dummy agents and was also wanted by the police. They found a car being packed with luggage outside his door. Police arrived and arrested Mr. Vernard, who admitted that his real name was Arthur Musica. It then came out that George Dietrich was really George Musica and George's brother Robert, who also worked for McKesson & Robbins, was a fourth Musica brother, Robert, never before mentioned...

In a basement room of the revered Albright Art Gallery were exhibited 40 works of peculiar art contrived by Society members to parody surrealism in particular and loony modernism in general-a "Faker Show" which owed much to the high spirits of versatile, 57-year-old Alexander Oscar Levy, onetime Society president.
