...convince the producers that they had better keep Silk Stockings out-of-town until they remedied its major defects. Composer Cole Porter consequently has had to write six new songs to substitute into his score--a score which, despite a jukebox hit called "All of You," is still indisputably inferior to his previous successes.

To assure a continuing high standard, he set up a self-perpetuating board of trustees which examines all gift horses with a dentist's doubtful eye. Since Mellon's death in 1937, vast bequests from Samuel Kress and Joseph Widener (old masters), Lessing Rosenwald (prints and drawings) and Chester Dale (old masters and modern French paintings) have swelled the collection. It now numbers 1,721 paintings...
