The Boyer Galleries showed the kaleidoscopic water colors of Nathaniel Dirk, a camoufleur in World War I. In the Bonestell Gallery, Frenchman Jean Charlot, a founding father of the famed Mexican school, exhibited deceptively simple pictures of broad, squat peons and solemn babies.

Though the Bolsheviks in his native Russia hold him in great respect, Igor Stravinsky has become a Frenchman. Though he has a home in Paris, he travels restlessly and incessantly, spending much of his time in the U. S., where he lectures and teaches a composition seminar at Harvard University.

Ernst Lubitsch's direction has created several unforgettable scenes; the first kiss of the Parisian man-about-town and the desexed Russian agent. Ninotchka, with her first three glasses of champagne fizzing warmly underneath her low-cut evening gown...
