Last week, at a dinner in Manhattan's Waldorf-Astoria Hotel, Dr. Myerson displayed to a gathering of top-flight U. S. dentists his new invention: transparent-tipped, natural-looking false teeth set in ruddy gums of a new plastic material. Exhibit A was a beaming colleague, fitted with a well-worn set of brownish, irregular teeth. "How becoming they are," exclaimed Dr. Myerson, "to the rugged character time has produced in his face!" As one man, the dentists rose and applauded the teeth, applauded bold Dr. Myerson...

Horse-players: Vladimir Vassilieff, Kari Karnikovski. From 1903 to the present, Dobbin foots...
Last week Manhattan audiences heard something which might have been Aztec music.

A collection of ancient instruments in the Mexican National Museum, and such tomes of conquistador times as the Codex Florentinus (a compilation of Indian folklore, with many a crude illustration-see cut), were all the proof Composer Chavez could give that his fanciful reconstruction called Xochi-pili-Macuilxochitl after...
...Mass, he adds, can be conveyed more successfully be other methods. Now Mr. Lewis, an artist himself, should know better than to make such statements. In the first place, who said that Picasso was trying to convey mass? No one except Mr. Lewis and the catalogue which accompanied the exhibit. And both are mistaken. Rather than enter upon an "a priori" discussion of what the artist intended to convey by examining the painting, I shall tell briefly what the artist has conveyed and give Picasso the benefit of the doubt by saying that he intended it. We must not take...
