Among her U. S. admirers, the most ardent was a 13-year-old Brooklyn boy named Walt Whitman, who testified that "nothing finer did any stage ever exhibit-and my boyish heart and head felt it in every minute cell." A year later, at the height of her fame, she quit the stage to marry the heir to a large Georgia plantation, handsome, dilettante Pierce Butler (no kin to Supreme Court Justice Pierce Butler). Their marriage started badly, and got worse. When Fanny refused to compromise with social conventions, Pierce agreed with his family, who thought he had married beneath...

The number of pieces a State may exhibit is determined by its population rather than bv the number of good painters in it.

Prime sample of Nazi conjuring at the anti-Schuschnigg exhibit at Tulln last week was a goggling, cadaver-like effigy of the former Chancellor cruelly tagged "Comical Kurt." Elsewhere, Nazi investigators were tirelessly conjuring up a case to link Kurt un-comically with the execution in 1934 of a number of National Socialists who killed his boss, Engelbert Dollfuss. Meanwhile, still a closely-watched prisoner in his Belvedere Castle, Herr Schuschnigg was being permitted the comfort of daily visits from his blonde, 34-year-old fiancee, Countess Vera Fugger von Babenhausen, whose talent for fine music was Schuschnigg...
