...death in Switzerland last October of a pleasant Parisian gentleman named Jean de Brunhoff ended the adventures of one of the world's most endearing elephants. Jean de Brunhoff was the creator of Babar, the elephant whose life and high times he illustrated in a series of picture books read by children the world over. Babar, his Queen Celeste, his kindly adviser Cornelius, his mischievous little cousin Arthur and his friend the Old Lady, were all invented during bed-time stories told by Artist de Brunhoff to his three little boys. Between 1932 and 1937, five Babar books were...
Last week the Manhattan galleries of Durlacher Bros, displayed 66 of the original Babar water colors in an exhibition arranged with the aid of Jean de Brunhoff's widow and his brother, Michel, the Paris editor of Vogue.

Mr. March turns in an excellent performance, but the honors go to Akim Tamiroff in the role of Dominique You. His sympathetic portrayal...
...same shrine to pray for their respective needs. Brisk words led to a brisk battle, and the prayers went unsaid. The feud is still being fought by 20th-century youngsters, even though the blonde schoolteacher (Claude May) at Velrans and the handsome mayor of Longeverne (Jean Murat) are more than willing to set an example in neighborly love. In the children's war, the most telling blow is to snip off all a captive's buttons, send him home holding up his pants. One strategist discovers that the way to fix that is to fight without clothes until...
