Unveiled last week in Springfield, Mass., was a homebuilt projector which cost less than $12,000. It was built by able, earnest Frank Korkosz, technician of Springfield's Museum of Natural History. Not dumbbell-shaped but spherical, the Korkosz instrument projects on a 40-ft. (diameter) hemispherical ceiling 7,150 of the naked eye and borderline stars visible in every direction from earth. Astronomers did not quite share Mr. Korkosz' belief that his machine works as well or nearly as well as a Zeiss instrument but they seemed to feel that any reasonably good projector is better than...
...paintings of a gangling, red-haired feminine exquisite, now 52, who has lived and painted in Paris for 30 years. Last week the Findlay Galleries gave Marie Laurencin her first sola show in Manhattan in five years. A cadenced critique by Vanity Fair's onetime editor, Frank Crowninshield, defended from the charge of "boudoir art" Marie Laurencin's pale, obsessive ladies, "with those undefined pools of night which are their eyes, their magnolia-soft cheeks, their plumes of periwinkle blue and lips of fadeless rose...

Swallow-tailed against a gowny background, Conductor Frank St. Leger, radio director (American Radiator Co.'s Fireside Recitals), put the ladies through their paces. Watching him from an orchestra seat sat the woman who had been the symphony's conductor for eight years, and last week was so no longer -hard-working, blonde Ebba Sundstrom...
...retiring I.B.A. President Edward B. Hall declared last week, "the immediate outlook for new capital financing is discouraging." To make it less so, the I.B.A. decided, is up to the Government. Though SECommissioner George C. Mathews cordially asked for co-operation and Chairman Frank R. McNinch of the Federal Communications Commission emphasized the orthodox New Deal point of view that business regulation is inevitable, the assembled bankers unanimously agreed with President Hall when he accused the undistributed profits tax and the capital gains tax of being the major hurdles in the path of future financing volume. Said he: "Something could...
