Mex. in 1929-30, a period when he says the brilliance of light in the desert made him "continually dippy." Painters like Tintoretto, Rembrandt and Goya he usually refers to as "those old boys." Last week his first visit to Manhattan...
...various clubs, including Club Fortune, Mrs. Lois Clarke de Ruyter Spreckels Clinton, her divorced sugar-heir husband, Adolph Bernard Spreckels Jr., and two friends toasted each other until all hours. Before dawn they boarded Mr. Spreckels' private plane to fly to San Francisco. The plane rose 100 feet, nose-dived into a swamp. Results: a fractured pelvis for gay Mrs. Clinton, death for Spreckels' professional pilot...
