Also included were most of Mexico's many half-knowns: Goitia, Castellanos Tamayo, Meza, Montenegro, Cantu Galván, Charlot, Mérida, and the surrealist Frida Kahlo (Rivera's third wife). By & large they seemed suspiciously un-Mexican and disappointingly dull. Why didn't the "younger generation" of artists compare with Mexico's aging masters...
...Frida Laski, wife of arch-Socialist Harold, agreed with people who thought he ought to be out of the Labor Party chairmanship. Said she: "It's about time we had a happy home life free from politics." But she wanted him at least to run for re-election to the executive committee at next spring's Party Congress, for if he didn't "then Lord Beaverbrook would be very happy, and I don't want that to happen...

These attracted the attention of Diego and Frida Rivera, who often liked the doodles on the wrapping better than the artistry inside. So Chucho tried marketing them, at 5 pesos ($1) apiece.

Fiddler Einstein smiled his broad and gentle smile, glanced at his watch in fourth-dimensional worriment, played his encore, peered...
...Popular singers in Berlin include several who have sung in the U. S.: Soprano Frida Leider, a success at the Chicago and Metropolitan operas, now devoting herself to Lieder as well as opera; Contralto Sigrid Onegin, whose voice is no longer at its peak. Oddly, a British singer, Marjorie Booth, gets much applause at the State Opera. So, at the Charlottenburg Opera, does an American, tall, blonde, 25-year-old Polyna Stoska...
