Taste for Gingerbread. Some Muscovites were astonished, some were critical, and all who came seemed interested. A group of women construction engineers found the simple, graceful lines of modern architecture distasteful, said they preferred Russian gingerbread. They failed to find esthetic interest in chimneys or fireplaces, passed them off as backward and primitive. All were amazed by the low-cost housing, though some skeptically assumed that it represented a dream of the future, not an existing fact...

Last year G.O.P. State Chairman George Bloom, trying to salvage something of the G.O.P. wreckage left by the Grundy and Fine machines, persuaded Pretzel King McGonigle to become...
...style seemed more surely dead and buried than Art Nouveau, the turn-of-the-century vogue for flowing, whirling motifs and gingerbread gewgaws. Thrown out by cubist artists who viewed such effulgent detail as a bad case of artistic warts, and banned by the stripped-down school of Bauhaus modern architects, the movement that once spread across Europe and to the U.S. had been dormant for decades. Now there is new interest in Art Nouveau-particularly among the strongest proponents of modern art and architecture...
