...movie denies the gut reaction to Dietrich as femme fatale. The image of the cold-eyed castrator stands up, in fact, in only two of her films- The Bine Angel and The Devil is a Woman, the first and last movies, respectively, of her six-year association with Josef von Sternberg. In most of her work, Dietrich is notable mainly for her almost martial sense of loyalty to her man. She may flirt in Morocco with everything in trousers (and sometimes those in skirts, when she herself is wearing white-tie-and-tails), but in the end, she follows Gary...
...Josef Hofmann: Works by Chopin, Liszt, Mendelssohn (Victrola). A superstar born in 1876 to the grand romantic tradition. Hofmann never officially released a commercial studio recording after 1924. In May 1935, however, when he was still at peak form, Hofmann made some test recordings for Victor, now released for the first time.

Vibrant Impresario. Tyler's policy is to invite four artists a year to produce a suite of prints. Like a mustachioed impresario fussing over his stars, Tyler supplies his charges at Gemini with everything from Arches cover paper to limousines and sushi fish. His first catch was Josef Albers, and the list of his successors reads like a lexicon of the avantgarde. Tyler, as patron, also has his own rules and his own pride of craft. He explains: "Each man will stay about three weeks, doing the drawings and consulting while we're making proofs...
