...downstairs part will serve as a museum for Rivera's pre-Cortesian sculptures. Stone-grey and stone-cold, the rooms coil upon each other in a snakelike labyrinth. In the ceilings are white stone mosaics different from anything Rivera has done before-deceptively simple abstractions that seem to waver, cloudlike, on the edge of recognizability. One of them, representing Tlaloc the rain god, is a face formed of two writhing snakes, set so as to be reflected in a sunken pool.

It filed suit against Paramount, Loew's Inc.(M-G-M), RKO, Warner Bros, and 20th Century-Fox to have block booking declared illegal. But in the labyrinth of deals and counter-deals in Hollywood, the antitrust division found that it had to go farther. The same suit named Columbia, United Artists and Universal. It buttressed its case with suits against Griffith Amusement Co. (with theaters in 85 towns in Oklahoma, Texas and New Mexico) and the Stanley...
