...fault of most exhibitions of Disney art is that they leave out its most striking feature: animation. For, considered simply as drawings and paintings, most Disney stills rate only a notch higher than Christmas cards. Last month one U. S. gallery, the Los Angeles County Museum, put on an exhibition that did Disney justice. Los Angeles Museum's enterprising director, Roland J. McKinney, concentrated on showing the public how the technique of animation developed, step by step, from the flip-books and shooting-gallery slot, machines of the late 1890s to Fantasia...
...Symphony in Mozart's rippling Concerto in A Major, Debussy's First Rhapsody. No one should have been surprised. Trained in his youth by a Chicago Symphony clarinetist, Franz Schoepp, Benny Goodman can tootle with the two or three best in the world. Critics could find little fault with his playing of Mozart and Debussy-unless it was a slight excess of refinement and dignity...
...dialogue by posturing up and down the steps. They also made sallies into the aisles. If Piscator intended to de-emphasize the individual actors, his accomplishment was not noticeable. The veteran Sam Jaffe (of The Jazz Singer, Grand Hotel and Hollywood) was a subtle, moving Lear whose chief fault was that his appearance kept suggesting that ex-Supreme Court Justice Louis D. Brandeis was playing the part...

More through loose, wishful reporting than through the fault of manufacturers or responsible flying officers, the Army's new pursuit planes have been crowned with kudos for speeds they have not reached with military loads under service conditions. Most airmen knew last week that the Curtiss P-4O pursuit plane had a top of around 360 m.p.h., and that other Air Corps speedsters-the sleek Bell Airacobra (P-39), the twin-engined Lockheed interceptor (P-38)-were only crowding 400. They...
Prices. FORTUNE suggested to its Forum one reason for unemployment that was not Government's fault. This was the old Brookings Institution thesis: that industry itself had failed in many instances to expand its markets (and payrolls) by reducing prices. With this thesis a significant majority agreed wholly (16.2%) or in part (49%). Pinned down to the question of whether decreased prices in depression industries would have upped volume sufficiently to reduce layoffs, 27.2% answered yes, 35.4% perhaps, 37.4% no. Of the yes-men, one-fifth thought the increased volume would have boosted profits, 46.7% felt they would have...
