With well-paced acts, some high-level ad-lib talk and a genial approach, This Is Broadway last week was one of the first of the summer TV sustaining shows to nab a fall sponsor-AVCO's Crosley Division (radios & TV sets). Though gratified by the windfall, Fadiman (who had been against the serious approach from the beginning) had urged all along that Broadway be changed from an hour-long show to its present 30 minutes.

Minneapolis' Walker Art Center sent six paintings that demonstrated how diversely students in a progressive art school will advance.
