...American people," said cautious Director Wood in Hollywood. "It would be professional suicide," continued Mr. Wood, "for a comedian to make a national hero the subject of any joke." †The kneeling figure of a woman much resembling Mrs. Simpson is at the centre of a Department of Justice mural inscribed, "The Sweatshop And Tenement of Yesterday Can Be The Life-Ordered-With-Justice of Tomorrow." A tenement family at a round table is shown in the fresh-fruit-&-after-dinner-coffee stage of the future Life-Ordered-With-Justice. A woman in the right foreground holds a baby...
...walls of Manhattan Art Dealer Pierre Matisse, flanked by a group of photographs and autograph letters. Bewildering to the cautious mind, the canvas was of first importance to the U. S. art world for it was a full-size preliminary sketch for La Danse, the most famed mural decoration that Dealer Matisse's father, bearded Henri Matisse, ever did. Few U.

The artist is here attempting to present the struggle between creative science and material greed, not, as some one tried to interpret it, a comparison between the treatment of regimented and unregimented workers in contemporary Germany. At the left of the main part of the mural, Alberich's hand tries to grasp the Rhine gold, reaching up from sea-green water, while maidens...
...second mural depicts the legend known as "The Twilight of the Gods". Here the final battle between Gods and Giants is taking place, with the Gods ranged on the left, armed with spears and halberds, facing the Giants on the right, who are fitted out with gas masks, cylinders and a flame thrower. Mr. Rubenstein is attempting to represent the attack of the Giants on Asgard, the home of the Gods, where such a great struggle took place that the earth trembled, and wiped out the existing race. This animated scene has been translated by commotion-seekers into the attack...
