Last week, on Manhattan's 57th Street, four of the leading abstractionists broke out with simultaneous exhibitions. Argentine-born Frenchman Fernand Leger started out as a Cubist with Braque and Picasso in 1910. Russian-born Wassily Kandinsky and U. S.-born, German-bred Lyonel Feininger were long masterminds of Germany's Bauhaus group. Spanish-born Joan Miro is a surrealist who is more abstract than Surrealist Salvador Dali. Least abstract of the four abstractionists' pictures were those of stocky Fernand Leger, who now lives in the U. S. Leger's intricate designs, drawn with thick, coally...

To the key post of permanent Secretary General of Foreign Affairs, since 1933 occupied by Alexis Leger ("greatest living diplomat"), Premier Reynaud appointed Frangois Charles-Roux, envoy to the Vatican, an expert on Papal foreign policy...
When Scene Designer Robert Edmond Jones began the Central City festival (with Lillian Gish in Camille), he frowned on sideshows, drinking shindigs in the Teller House bar. Present producer-director of the festival is Frank St. Leger, Chicago musician. Last week square dances, tintype studios, night-club entertainers flourished once more in Central City. With The Yeomen running up the best box office in recent years, likelihood was that the festival would henceforth stick to plushy musical shows...
