...ceased to shout his scorn of every other painter in the world, his disdain of every art gallery that does not recognize the importance of his work. But he stopped painting in 1920.

...perform in the Theatre Guild's He this season, and having chosen to neglect Him after a brief run, Manhattan theatregoers may now witness the Devil walking the earth like a natural man.

And his comedy is populated by four of the most pleasant players now to be seen: wide-eyed Helen Chandler (rescued from Hollywood) ; facile Leslie Banks (late of tragic Lean Harvest) ; handsome Frieda Inescort (she has toured with George Arliss); and Nigel Bruce, the funniest man to be discovered by Manhattan theatregoers since Guy Kibbee was brought to light as a mortuary supply salesman in Torch Song last year. Admired in London...
...Dark. To add to his night-flying hours and some day qualify as a mail pilot. Pilot Lou Strickler, 18, flew in the moonlight one night last week around Latrobe Airport, Pa. Three friends who had been taking turns hopping with him waited on the ground, their automobile headlights marking the field to augment the airport's meagre lights. Pilot Strickler came in for a landing, "felt his plane hit something," learned to his horror that he had mowed down and killed his three friends
