...forty-three years, was the embodiment and able champion of the College's musical tradition, Widener Library now has an eight-case display in its main hall. Appropriately chosen and arranged with taste, the exhibition contains holograph manuscripts, portraits, books, and original texts, many of which have been lent to the Library by Professor Paine's colleagues and friends. Of special note is a large, colorful portrait of Professor Paine by Caroline A. Cranch...
Having had the Open Door to China slammed in its face by Japan, the U. S. Government has recently tried to jimmy the lock. Fortnight ago it lent China a $25,000,000 credit for purchases of U. S. goods. Last week it extended further credit against Chinese gold held in the U. S. (see p. 16). These gestures, called "dangerous, regrettable acts" in Tokyo, made Japanese and U.

S., Gros was represented last week at Knoedler's by 17 pictures, six of them lent by the Due de Trévise. Best battle picture: Murat Beating the Egyptians at Aboukir...
Much of the emotional validity of Sixty Glorious Years comes from the fact that the British Government,* highly approving of Director Herbert Wilcox's treatment of the same subject in Victoria the Great last year, lent him settings which not even Hollywood could hope to reproduce. No empty shells tacked up on a sound stage, the castles of Windsor and Balmoral, the palaces of Buckingham and St. James's (to whose interiors the King gave Director Wilcox and his company access) look as substantial as their own walls and superb Technicolor film can make them...
