Nicholas Slonimski, a member of the Boston Symphony Orchestra, stated that music audiences in the Soviet have increased many fold since the Czarist regime was overthrown. A member of the Communist Party gave statistics to show that Soviet industrial power has been growing steadily, particularly in the last ten years, and regeneration of Soviet science was emphasized by Dirk Strulk...
...that there isn't any made-in-America art in the National Gallery. Most of it is Italian. It was owned, not made, by Messrs. Melton, Kress, and Widener.
