Last week Manhattan hopefuls crowded into the Marie Harriman Gallery to see Derain's two latest and largest works. Both were surprises, though only one was so entitled. In each, somewhat creasy and abundant nudes in classical attitudes were disposed on emerald greensward against a lush mysterious background. La Surprise, even more than Dans la Clalrière, suggested a Titianesque tableau in the golden lighting on the figures, a tracing of Rubens in the figures themselves.

...book describes the birth of America's first tabloid, Joseph Medill Patterson's "Illustrated Daily News," which appeared on June 26, 1919, modeled on the already successful English tabloids. It kept on appearing and today it is the largest selling paper in the nation, yet for three years Mr. Hearst never saw in it a potential rival. When he did it was too late. Mr. Bessie then launches into a dry examination of the contents of the "Daily News" down thought the years, showing the tabloid formula and the current (if invisible) trend towards straight news, and concludes with circulation...
