...paunchy and kindly, with thick grey hair falling over his forehead and a droopy grey mustache, Edward Thorndike (affectionately called "The Big Chief" by his associates) still works 70 hours a week. "We have a factory here for finding the truth," he says. It is a highceilinged, barnlike room in a remote corner of Teachers College, with a little office in the back where Dr. Thorndike sits in a high-backed chair at a rolltop desk. The factory is crammed to the ceiling with manila-wrapped bundles containing tests and data. Dr. Thorndike knows what is in every last...
...sharp-eyed scout for Leicester Galleries wandered into the Galeries Zak in Paris and saw six pictures by a young German girl, just purchased by Mme Zak. Painted in monotones of grey, tan and pink, in a style heavily reminiscent of Marie Laurencin and spiced with Degas and Renoir, were pictures in a musicomedy adaptation of 1900 costumes: drinking at cafes, riding on merry-go-rounds, many another simplified scene. Almost immediately the artist, 26-year-old, blonde Suzanne Eisendieck, became a ward of the Leicester Galleries, and a story straight out of La Vie de Boheme turned toward...
...could see, at the Marie Harriman Gallery, Suzanne & Friend (always in 1900 costumes) boating sentimentally on the Seine; Suzanne, as a barmaid, serving Friend, as a silk-hatted rounder; Suzanne & Friend as a couple of spangled circus riders; Suzanne crossing the Place de la Concorde in a very becoming grey veil; Suzanne as a ballet dancer; Suzanne in a striped jacket (see cut); Suzanne as two ballet dancers, peeking through the curtain...

Not every composer is able or willing to give such an accurate estimate of his abilities. Though grey-haired, exuberant Charles Wakefield Cadman has been lately somewhat neglected by sophisticated music lovers in favor of younger and more sensational composers, he remains one of the very few highbrow U. S. musical figures whose names are known to the U. S. man in the street. Last week his five...
Last Sunday evening, Pianist Hofmann, now 61, his grey hair encircling a bald spot, his gentle face still distinguished by the cleft chin of his youth, walked upon the Metropolitan stage and 4,000 applauding people rose to their feet. It was 50 years, less a day, since he had made his debut before the U. S. public. For this Golden Jubilee concert the 4,000 had bought out the house long ago, at $15 for the best seats, the proceeds (some $22,000) going to the Musicians Emergency Fund. In the audience were New York's Mayor LaGuardia...
