Southern Star, In the last 20 years the South has produced fiercely regional literature by the bale, but almost no first-rate painters. This week one star risen from the bayous was shining bright in an exhibition at the Boyer Galleries of 19 paintings by 26-year-old John McCrady of New Orleans, his first one-man show in Manhattan. Born and bred in the South, John McCrady came north when he won one of the ten national scholarships to Manhattan's Art Students' League in 1933. The unusually cold winter depressed him. He quit going to classes...
...first-rate football coaches stay in one place long enough to become an institution. Even fewer paint desert scenes in the Southwest. Robert Carl Zuppke of the University of Illinois does not claim to be a great painter though critics filled their reviews of his one-man show of landscapes last spring in Chicago's Palmer House with awed quotations from his rugged views on Art ("Art and football are very much alike").

From then on, Author Hemingway was sitting pretty. In spite of the failure of Death in the Afternoon and Green Hills of Africa, his eight...
...habituated readers abhors a vacuum. . . ." That readers continue to put their faith in publishers' ads rather than critics' warnings was well evidenced by the case of the fat historical romance, And So-Victoria, which since publication ten weeks ago has been filling reader "voids" at the rate of 14,000 per week.* Offered U. S. readers last week, So Great a Man was expected to do as well. U. S. booksellers, acting on advance tips that the book "will suck readers along from page to page as did Anthony Adverse or Gone With The Wind," reported themselves well...
