Cultural high at the World's Fair last summer was the $75,000,000 art exhibition. This year music is making a top-notch showing. This week Swift & Co. presented the Chicago Symphony in the first of a ten-week series of two-a-day free concerts on a shell built over the Lagoon. Also playing at the Fair is the Detroit Symphony, since mid-June an "exhibit" of Henry Ford. Another Ford musical exhibit was a 22-minute cinema for which a symphony orchestra played a special score composed by Edwin E. Ludig, musical director of Audio Productions...
Leitmotif of Rhapsody in Steel was the assembly of a Ford automobile. Thus not only did Mr. Ford manage to exhibit a cinema which attracts 6,000 Fair visitors daily but he shrewdly outmaneuvered General Motors, whose concession to have an actual assembly line on the Fair grounds was exclusive. To compose his music authoritatively Mr. Ludig visited Ford plants, discovered that their music "was in a sort of whole tone scale with a lot of overtones." He adopted certain rhythms like the poundings of hydraulic presses, used them as contrapuntal accompaniments to string and woodwind melodies. The factory whistle...
Like the Toy Fair in Manhattan, the Furniture Mart is for manufacturers and buyers only. Spectators may not attend without passes. The Chicago mart is not the only furniture exhibit but it is the most important. A competing show at Marshall Field & Co.'s huge Merchandise Mart housed 53 exhibitors and Manhattan's show which closed a fortnight ago was a huge success with 406. The Furniture Mart opened with 600. There the big retail stores select suites (pronounced "suits" by most of the trade) for display in the autumn, when the public does most of its furniture...
Nobody in Venice last week seemed to know how the trouble started but there it was-a glittering portrait of Cinemactress Marion Davies by Tade Styka, hanging, slambang, in the vestibule of the American Pavilion at the 10th Biennial Art Exhibition. Ever since the Exhibition opened in mid-May visitors thought it strange that this work by a Polish artist should be so prominently displayed in a U. S. collection supposedly owned entirely by the Whitney Museum of American Art. Last week, in London, Mrs. Juliana R. Force, the Whitney Museum's energetic director, thought it was so strange...
...newshawks in Rome put odds & ends together and came to this conclusion: William Randolph Hearst, anxious to have Miss Davies' portrait exhibited, offered to pay the shipping costs of the entire Whitney collection if the picture were included. Mrs. Force declined his offer. Thereupon Mr. Hearst sent the picture alone to Italy where a Hearstling approached U. S. Ambassador Breckinridge Long to see what could be done about having it exhibited in Venice. When Ambassador Long decided not to use his good offices in Mr. Hearst's behalf, the Hearst man went directly to Count Volpi, finally...
