Greenwich Village's American Contemporary Artists Gallery nestles like a hayloft hideaway in the eaves of the Village Barn cabaret. There last week William Cropper, U. S. leftism's No. 1 painter, gave his annual one-man show. A persistent sapper and gnawer at the roots of capitalism (for years the ace cartoonist of the old Liberator, the newer New Masses), Painter Gropper turns out each year some 50 oils, countless lithographs and drawings of fat capitalists, hungry workers, woe-heeled sharecroppers, bashed and bleeding soldiers. His highly-colored, savagely-drawn pictures have drawn praises and commissions from...
...antlike studios of Walt Disney Productions Ltd. at Burbank, Calif., Phil Dike is one of the more important ants. He is Disney's ace color coordinator. On the side, he paints water colors of his own. Last week Phil Dike had a one-man show at Manhattan's Ferargil Galleries. Technically expert, untroubled by surrealist neuroses, social struggle or pneumatic nudes, Dike's splashy water colors of mountains, windswept beaches, palm-plumed countryside were sometimes reminiscent of Japanese landscape prints, were as brightly lush as a Montecito bougainvillea...
...Weber, 60, a roundheaded, bird-like little man, is the dean of U. S. modernists. Last week he held a one-man show in Manhattan.

Beside the Battle of 1941, that of Actium (31 B.C.) in which Antony tried to stave off the one-man dictatorship of Octavian (later Emperor Augustus), seems a pathetic farce. Shakespeare tells how Cleopatra finally withdrew her 60 galleys from the action and fled in her sumptuous royal barge, whereupon She once being loof'd, the noble ruin of her magic, Antony, claps on liis sea-wing, and (like a doting mallard) leaving the fight in heighth, flies after...
...North-Libyan cost, claiming a 10,000-ton ship at Bardia, three other sunk and three damaged elsewhere. This week the British admitted that one ship had been bombed, but said that a "large number" of Italian prisoners aboard her had been killed. Despite this new element, the British were confident that if they could reach Bengasi soon enough, they could make Rodolfo Graziani's last stand a one-man stand...
