...painters and museum directors has long been his special target. In 1928 he published his best known book Ananias, or the False Artist, in which he performed the not too difficult feat of denting the reputations of such painters as Edwin Howland Blashfield, Ignacio Zuloaga, Sir Laurence Alma-Tadema. Emanuel Leutze, the creator of Waslington Crossing the Delaware, and the society portraits of John Singer Sargent (like most critics Walter Pach has respect for the Sargent water colors). He tore into the critics who had praised them, the museums, particularly the Metropoli- tan Museum of Art, that bought them...
Throughout his 1928 campaign Herbert Hoover deliberately and pointedly ignored Alfred Emanuel Smith. Not once was the Democratic nominee mentioned in a Hoover speech. Election returns that year amply proved this good Republican strategy and up to last week President Hoover had cast his 1932 campaign in practically the same mold. He refused to appear conscious that he had a man named Franklin Delano Roosevelt running against him. Declining to take the stump, he appeared to set the Presidency above partisanship. Instead of advertising his adversary by hand-to-hand combat, he advertised his relief program by intense activity...
Last week Editor George Horace Lorimer of the Satevepost regretfully made known that, contrary to prior announcement, Alfred Emanuel Smith would not write a reply to Calvin Coolidge's "The Republican Case."

Before he left on his leave of absence, Lasky had given Vice President Emanuel Cohen, Katz's man, the job of drawing up an analysis of studio operating problems. Cohen, an expert in short cinema subjects and news reels, executed an analysis upon which the company may now base an argument in court that Jesse Lasky's job outgrew...
...Paramount production regime is Emanuel ("Manny") Cohen whose chin rises not far above his desk edge. The question was: could he produce the pictures? The answer last week seemed to be: maybe not. For when Katz edged out Lasky. he pulled Schulberg back to produce eight pictures a year under Cohen's supervision. At the same time, he offered Lasky a chance to produce three a year under Cohen's eye. Schulberg accepted. Lasky refused...
