Villager. Paul Klee began as an etcher, and his color generally remains less alive than his line. The opposite was true of a remarkable collection of 20 paintings hung last week in Manhattan's East River Gallery, the first one-man show of a 28-year-old New York artist named Loren Maclver. The best of these pictures brought yelps of pleasure from critics who have long complained that much U. S. painting shows the imaginative audacity of a dish rag. One of them. Procession of Small Beings, was close to a Klee fantasy except for its peculiarly vernal...
...Paris, learned to paint, he says, by "talking about it all the time." Little known in Spain until 1927, when he returned to Madrid after two years in Florence, he gradually became recognized as one of the finest artists of the people since Goya. While he was in prison for his Socialism in 1931, Ernest Hemingway and John Dos Passes got him his first one-man show in the U. S. In July 1936, he finished his most ambitious mural, eleven panels containing 140 life-size figures, for Madrid's monument to the founder of Spanish Socialism, Pablo Iglesias...
...gradual liquidation as to some of the collateral and unrelated investments will be followed." Mr. Hearst has not always conducted his business as his bankers would have preferred. Once he had bought a paper, it was a matter of pride to keep it going as a unit in his one-man show.

Humanity, of which Boldini had one understanding, is the constant subject of sad-eyed, diminutive Raphael Soyer, who has another. His twin, Moses, and his Brother Isaac are also able painters, but in the last few years Raphael's single-minded portrayals of pathos in Manhattan's sober poor have given him the greater reputation. Last week his first one-man show since 1935, at the Valentine Gallery, brought 14th Street impressively to fashionable 57th. In Soyer's accomplished paintings of Greenwich Village characters there was neither humor nor brilliance but a great deal of dun truth...
...certainly plays the decisive role in Author Fisher's minor cases. A 200-pound English department head is a suppressed rakehell and sadist. Pompous little President Ledwidge launches a one-man anti-necking campaign by sneaking up on parked cars, yanking co-eds out of back seats. Brilliant, introvert Virgin Jerry Young is a beautiful woman whose career as a psychologist is wrecked when she is driven out of town by neurotic, wisecracking natives after a trumped-up arrest. Sorriest egotist of the lot is handsome John Smith, who marries with the belligerent vow always to tell his wife...
