Like Mr. Choate, whose father was the late Ambassador to Great Britain, Judge Hoyt has a famed ancestor. His grandfather, Salmon Portland Chase, whose portrait adorns $10,000 bills, was Lincoln's Secretary of the Treasury and later (1864-73) Chief Justice of the U. S. Grandson Hoyt has won distinction for himself as a champion and judge of children. In 1908 he became the youngest (31) judge ever appointed to New York's Court of Special Sessions, helped start the fight which led to the adoption of a constitutional amendment creating separate children's courts throughout the State...
Calling on other museums, public-spirited dealers and generous owners, the Brooklyn Museum was able to assemble 16 El Grecos, including the Worcester Art Museum's Magdalen, and the Metropolitan's View of Toledo. Three Velazquez' were borrowed: a self-portrait belonging to Jules S. Bache, a St. Peter from the Nelson Gallery of Kansas City and Don Balthazar Carlos and his Dwarf from Boston's Museum of Fine Arts...
...these were thoroughly familiar to the art world and so were four of the five Goyas that were sent to Brooklyn. But the fifth seemed definite news: a Portrait of a Lady, in an elaborate feathered headdress, blue & white striped dress, holding a painted fan, and with a parrot perched beside her.

Then, for the first time, the Reinhardt Galleries of Manhattan exhibited the portrait which they discovered in a private collection in Germany where it had languished for many years. Dr. August L. Mayer, Goya authority, had never heard of it but, instantly recognizing it as a Goya of about 1787. asked permission to include it in all future editions of his book, Francisco de Goya. Within a month it was sold to Mrs. William R. Timken, sister-in-law of Henry Holiday Timken, maker of Timken Roller Bearings (TIME, Aug. 19). Well...
Southern novelists from Stark Young to Erskine Caldwell have written of small sections of their native regions, but have attempted no comprehensive pictures of Southern society as a whole. It has remained for Frederick Wight. Northern portrait painter turned Southern novelist, to offer a long (634 pages), ambitious book in which almost all classes and degrees of Southerners-impoverished blue bloods, fox hunting pretenders, millhands, Negroes, intellectuals-are conscientiously fitted into the fictional picture. The result is somewhat reminiscent of an old-fashioned tableau, with symbolic figures representing Poverty lurking miserably on one side of the stage while heedless Wealth...
