...formidable competition. Next to Rouault, Max Beckmann's strength, coherent though it is in both still life and portrait, becomes an inflexible and dry stiffness. Bradley Walker Tomlin's vivid pattern of color dabs appears insubstantial and weak. Even Miro's usual verve and wit fail to bring his Lasso to satisfying completeness. Yet, such free-swinging abstractions as Toti Scialoja's or Richard Diebenkorn's, have far less to say. Their absence of representational basis is perfectly acceptable but their lack of aesthetic articulation...
...Mamaroneck. When Noel's play and his affair with Margie both turn out to be flops, he flees to Paris, but Margie follows him, still determined to lasso the cad with a wedding ring. Aboard ship she meets another charmer, Mike Eden, who has a bad case of nerves, but for good cause: he is playing Scarlet Pimpernel in Nazi Germany and smuggling out persecuted Jews. Still, Noel has a fatal hold on her, and she finally catches up with him, only to find him living with and off a lady photographer...

Before the eyes of diplomats, generals and other men of distinction gathered in Quito's ornate Sucre National Theater last week, Manhattan-born Galo Plaza Lasso took off his yellow, blue and red presidential sash. For the first time since 1924, a constitutionally elected President of Ecuador had served out his full four-year term and was passing the emblem of office to a constitutionally elected successor. The sash had fitted husky ex-Athlete (University of California) Plaza a lot better than it fitted bony Scholar (international law, political theory) Jose Maria Velasco Ibarra, Ecuador's new chief...
