...15th Century mercenary (scowling as usual, in a velvet cap and gold brocaded tunic) was the highlight of a loan exhibition of Renaissance portraits at the Knoedler Galleries. By Giovanni Bellini, it is the property of Lord Duveen of Millbank. There were plenty of other masterpieces to remind the public of the treasury of Old Masters still in private hands in Manhattan. Among them: Castagno's Portrait of a Young Man, lent by J. P. Morgan; another young man, by Botticelli, lent by Clarence Hungerford Mackay; Fouquet's John, Bastard of Orleans, lent by William Goldman...

Bobbe Arnst, onetime wife of Johnny Weissmuller, now married to a Chicago lawyer named Robert Cavenaugh but still interested in swimmers, arrived the opening night, foiled a bandit who tried to steal her sealskin coat when she was leaving.

The maximum gate receipts were reached in 1929 when they totaled $706,000. The fall has been practically 60 per cent. Another fall of even 20 per cent would mean a serious deficit if the present rate of expenditure were continued, and a continued and sustained downward trend would seriously threaten the entire athletic program.
