...mail, his secretary and a scotch & soda all in one breath. She tells of how he took up painting to assuage the bitterness that followed Gallipoli, how in his younger years he had stage-door-johnnied Ethel Barrymore (with little success).

...FIRST great local news for Hub art lovers since John Singer Sargent last walked off Beacon Hill happened this week when Francis W. Dahl, the idol of Twentieth Century Brookline, published his first book. But alas and alack, it doesn't measure up to what the artist is worth. Dahl chose for his first little volume his worst representative works, the "Left Handed Compliments" that greeted Harvard's Herald readers when they returned from their Christmas vacations, written after he had broken his right arm in an auto accident...

The object, named "Wackaroo," is a small (4½ inches high), idol-like, plaster figure, in red, black, white, blue or yellow, designed to fit the angry human hand. Directions for using: "When you are mad or feel like busting things, be sure to grab him quick and smash him - SMACK! - to bits against the wall and then, relax!" The wackaroo smashes...
