Last week at Chicago's Theobald Galleries Ende had his first one-man show, consisting of four oils, 19 drawings, four etchings. Member of a group of young Munich artists who have developed a type of surrealist symbolism, in which the trappings of 19th-Century romantic painting are employed as elements of fantastic design, Ende was making a name for himself when the Nazis came into power, slapped his work into the Degenerate Art show...
...last two, Rev. Dr. William H. Roberts and Rev. Dr. Lewis Seymour Mudge, totaled 56 years. At the annual Assemblies of the church, the Moderator (elected for one year) presides, but between times the Stated Clerk, resident in the "Presbyterian Vatican" in Philadelphia's musty old Witherspoon Building, directs the activities of the church, answers hard questions on church law, handles all documents, acts as a one-man committee on Assembly arrangements and the credentials of delegates. Last week, with Stated Clerk Mudge about to retire at 70, the 150th Assembly, in Philadelphia, prepared to elect his successor. Obvious...

...Manhattan last week, 230-lb.

Suspended by the New York State Athletic Commission last winter because he insisted upon, training on beer and hot dogs in his Orange saloon and doing his road work at the wheel of an automobile, Bartender Galento, whose face is the color of biscuit...
...romantic as its title, neither is this travel book so ponderous as the official title of the one-man expedition it tells about-the Carnegie Institution's Expedition for Study of the Earth's Magnetic Behavior. A mixture of guidebook, adventure story, anthropological study, social & political commentary, covering a 2,000-mile trip through the jungles of Venezuela and Brazil, Journey to Manaos tells next to nothing about terrestrial magnetism. Author Hanson dutifully did the job he went to do, but he records more magnetic attractions above ground than underneath...
