Many times a Carnegie exhibitor, Leon Kroll had never won a Carnegie Prize until last week. Famed for his nudes, his bright, formalized landscapes, Artist Kroll has hung canvases at Pittsburgh's great international show for 23 years, took an Honorable Mention in 1925, was even a member of the Carnegie jury in 1929. Reckoned by quantity of output, Artist Kroll stood less chance of winning this year than at any time since 1913. So far this year he has done just one oil. Last week that proved sufficient to take his country's highest painting honor...
...paragraph headed "Outstanding Events," Dr. Abbot did not fail to give prominent mention in last week's report to his studies of solar radiation and terrestrial weather. Long and laborious research has convinced him that world weather tends to repeat itself in 23-year cycles, which he finds not only in longtime weather records but in tree rings, Great Lakes water levels, sediment laid down by ancient glaciers, annual catches of cod and mackerel. Temperature and precipitation forecasts for 1934 in 30 U. S. cities made on the basis of the Abbot cycle turned out, he declared, two-thirds...
...reference to the subject, regardless of good motives or public purpose, will only make trouble for themselves. Columbia Broadcasting will not permit the word "syphilis" to go out over the air from its stations. National Broad casting this year gingerly permitted Dr. Parran and two other authorities to mention the word in broadcasts. On the other hand the Press has made a notable response to Dr. Parran's campaign to get syphilis out into the open...
...journalistic reticence was first broken in 1929 when the St. Louis Post-Dispatch specifically mentioned syphilis in a report of a St. Louis meeting of the Na tional Society for the Prevention of Blind ness. Last year breaks in the taboo began appearing far & wide. The Chicago Tribune published three full-page articles on syphilis in its Sunday editions. In New York, the News (circulation 1,629,000), put on a campaign to publicize syphilis with news stories, editorials, cartoons, has sold 16,054 reprints at 5? each. The more conservative New York Herald Tribune and New York Times began...
...cast is adequate though not entirely distinguished. John Barclay as the Ghost is excellent in every respect, Aubrey Mather extracts a little too much comedy from the role of Polonius, and the King is a trifle too much the conventional villian. The First grave digger is especially worthy of mention, as indeed the entire graveyard scene is. The play portrayed by the actors before the Court, on the other hand is almost pure Watts, with very little Shakespeare included...
