...piece of sculpture. At 75 he is a living legend and he knows it; his dark brown eyes gleam as they sweep the room in a commanding glance. He picks up a black Spanish cape from a pile of clothes, flings it around his shoulders with the lordly grace of a matador, tops it off with a Spanish hat from the pile. " Magnifique , this material," he cries. "It is not only elegant, but it keeps you warm." Next thing the visitor knows, Picasso is romping on the lawn with his pet goat...
...lifelessness of the publication reveals the absence of a sense of humor. But this is a kind of Grace and cannot be demanded.

"Mamma," he would cry out to Grace Sands, "it's Jimmy Davis! Mamma, it's Harmie Smith! Listen to the guitars. Oh, Mamma, if only I could have a guitar, I'd be so happy."
