...course than an exhibit of important examples illustrating these lectures. Effort has been made to include as many important examples of the work of each of these artists as it is possible to gather together and there will be shown not only paintings in oil, but water colors and pencil and wash drawings, as well as engravings and mezzotints which pertain to the works shown...
Pithy, like effective pencil drawings, are the musical criticisms of Samuel Chotzinoff published daily in the New York World. The same characteristics mark his Eroica,* a novel based on the life of Ludwig van Beethoven and published currently. Despite his expert knowledge, Critic Chotzinoff permits himself even here no sidestepping into erudite analysis of Beethoven's music. His book is frankly fiction, tells vividly the story of the pock-marked man who never in his life found satisfaction save in music, who died shaking his fist at the unknown. Other Beethoven biographers have presumably clung more closely to reliable...
Began one of the quietest debates in which a Cabinet was ever buried. Andre Tardieu, who had been Prime Minister of Cabinet No. 18, and was leading the attack on No. 19, merely sat with a pad and pencil in his hand, jotting little notes while his friends talked.

In 1904 he married; he has two daughters. For a long time he did oil portraits, exhibiting widely, winning academic honors. But, says he, "I had to commercialize my art by pleasing aunts and uncles, grandmothers...
...Author Joyce to near-blindness : he wears thick spectacles, sometimes a black patch over his left eye. He cannot read without a magnifying glass. When he writes, he wears a white jacket with the arms of the City of Dublin embroidered on the breast pocket; uses a large red pencil. Friends reread his manuscript to him, which he corrects many times. His proofs, too, surfer, even to the fifth or sixth revision. Domestic, shy, Joyce rarely leaves home except for the opera or to dine at the famed Trianon Restaurant. Poor most of his life, he is now subsidized...
