...When pressed stiff and flat each slab was cut for size. Omitting the gum, glycerine or honey the ancients used to make paint stick to chicken skin, mutton bone, vellum or copper, 20th Century miniaturists daubed on pure water colors. Then they had something they could sell, if a portrait, for from $200 to $800, if a still life, for $25 up. Last week droves of old ladies pressed their noses close to the Grand Central Art Galleries' walls, noting the meticulous fineness of the painting, the absence of brush marks...
Four of the best U. S. miniaturists showed their year's work. Outstanding was a clear, shining portrait of a cameo-featured young woman in a ruff collar, by last year's medal winner, Artemis Tavshanjian, 29-year-old U. S.-born Armenian. Last week's winner was Mabel Welch, for her painstaking profile of an old man. Margaret Foote Hawley offered a prim, pale portrait of Rosemary, wife of Poet Stephen Vincent Benét. Nearly everything in the show, marvelously smooth and glowing with flesh colors, was pretty enough to be enlarged for a popular...
President Lowell left direction of his Law School (enrollment: 1,462), oldest (1817) and best in the U. S., to its famed, scholarly Dean Roscoe Pound, 63.

S. authority on contracts, Thomas Reed Powell, 53, Zechariah Chafee Jr., 48, Manley Ottmer Hudson, 47, Sam Bass Warner. Absent: Francis Bowes Sayre, 48, criminal law expert...
...cartoonist who longs to paint portraits and Do Fine Things is as much a stage character as the comedian who longs to play Hamlet. What makes Cartoonist Cady's non-commercial work easier to take than the arty strivings of most of his competitors is the simplicity of his approach. He is not the least bothered by surrealism. Communism, psychoanalysis or the plight of NRA. When he wants to paint the harbor of Rockport or the portrait of a nun he does it as naturally as he would a flopsy-mopsy bunny...
...welfare. A group of puppeteers take care of her and the scion (Gene Raymond) of the chief puppeteer falls in love with her. The rest of I Am Suzanne deals with Suzanne's uneasy feeling that Tony is really in love not with her but with a puppet portrait he has made of her. The mocking dances of his marionettes and her fiancé's dreamy affinity with them first confuse, then anger her. When her leg has mended enough for her to dance again, she shoots the tiny effigy of Suzanne through the heart. Finally it appears...
