...hardest job for a painter in Paris is to be original; the next hardest job is to be wilder and woollier than one's associates. Oscar Dominguez achieves the No. 2 aim with distinction. His latest works, on exhibition in a Paris gallery this week, prove that when he settles down before an easel, Dominguez can be wild in a mighty workmanlike...
...High Ground (by Charlotte Hastings; produced by Albert H. Rosen) would be a better whodunit if it were more of one-if it kept its mind on murder. It has a certain novelty of atmosphere and attack: it tells of a gifted young painter (Leueen MacGrath) who has been condemned to hang for poisoning her brother, and who is forced by floods-while being taken to prison-to spend some time at a convent.

...Sterling, Louvre curator and foreign adviser to the Met, did the proving. In the Met's current Bulletin, Sterling confessed he had always viewed Mlle. Charlotte with "a mixture of admiration and skepticism." The complex background, the lighting from behind, the modeling and drawing are all unlike David. Painter-prophet of the French Revolution, David was the sort of man who could and did express disappointment that only 80 aristocrats were guillotined in one morning. Mlle. Charlotte's atmosphere of sweetness & light hardly typifies his work...
