...risen -- but the title is a good one, and it has a flavor all its own. This flavor is heightened by the customary sale during the intermission of artistic booklets ("the raciest, spiciest little novelty we've set at your disposal in a long time, gentlemen") and is lent sweetness as Orpheus, embodied in orchestra leader Joe Riseman, tunes the opening overture...
...walls of Andrew William Mellon, Harrison Williams, Oscar B. Cintas (American Car & Foundry), Eugene G. Grace, Edward S. Harkness, J. Watson Webb. Mr. & Mrs. Charles Shipman Payson (Joan Whitney) sent their Don Vincente Osorio, Count of Trastamara as a Child from their huge living room in Manhasset. Jules Bache lent his often exhibited Don Manuel Osorio, an engaging infant half-surrounded by three cats, a bird cage, a tame magpie. Chicago's Art Institute was represented by six small canvases showing a monk accurately and amusingly shooting and capturing a bandit. All the other pictures were portraits: the aloof...
Year ago the Murray trustees completed plans for the John Murray Expedition. Last August the Mabahiss, 140-ft. trawler lent by the Egyptian Government, nosed out of an Alexandria dock, slipped through the Suez Canal, down the length of the Red Sea, finally emerged into the Indian Ocean. An echo-recording apparatus in the chartroom measured the time required for the sound to bounce back from the sea floor. With echo-sounding gear Expedition Leader R. B.

Reason No. 1 for this shortcoming is that the estimate of emergency outlay included $3,970,000,000 for RFC. Actually RFC has been paid back over 25% of the $5,000,000.000 it has lent in two years. A quarter-billion dollars has been repaid since Jan.1 and Jesse Jones intimated last week that repayments would take care of the additional amounts to be lent until next July. Consequently RFC's net drain on the Treasury is likely to fall one to one and a half billion below the President's estimate. Big repayers to RFC have...
...suited. A whole case is filled with these vignettes, where Daumier is seen as the logical heritor of the Romantic illustrators. Exhibited with copies of the "Physiologies" are three pages of proofs submitted to Daumier by the engravers and initiated by him in pencil. These precious fragments have been lent by Mr. Russel Allen, to whose generosity many of the most interesting exhibits are due. The kinship of these wood-engravings to Daumier's better-known lithographs is apparent from the row of prints placed above the case. The magnificent "Rue Transonian" is flanked by the "Souvenir de Saint-Pelagic...
