...Louis' City Art Museum,* the painter's first since a memorial show assembled shortly after his death in 1938. At that time Glackens seemed out of fashion, with his tranquil ladies, summer-resort scenes and cityscapes thronged with meandering crowds. Today, his obvious borrowing from Renoir's palette seems less important than the pleasures of his sinuous brush stroke, sauciness of color, and the pure joyousness of his subjects. Although Glackens borrowed the impressionists' glasses, he saw the American scene with eyes that were first trained in the reporter's craft...
Degas & Disney. Stein concerned himself with every detail of the institute-from anesthetics to esthetics. He ordered a study of what pictures patients like best, and the vote went to the impressionists. So all rooms have two large, high-quality reproductions of a Renoir or Van Gogh, a Degas or Manet. For the children's clinic, decorated with handmade tiles, Stein got a design from the Walt Disney organization...

With the Renoir gone, the only "revivals" at the Festival were "A Woman Of Affairs," a mediocre Garbo film directed by a Metro hack, Clarence Brown, and "The Cheat," an old DeMille silent which the Festival apparently screened at sound speed (30 per cent faster...
Little happens, except what Passer calls "life as it is, unheroic, unexceptional but nonetheless interesting." More than interesting, Lighting reflects a humanist tradition seldom seen on the screen since the early films of René Clair, Renoir and De Sica. The young city visitors quicken the tempo of existence for Bambas' family. Everyone goes off to supply music at a country funeral. Later the menfolk, including Grandpa, get together with the village pharmacist to form a string quartet in a rehearsal sequence that is disrupted by intramural arguments and arthritic aches, with additional time called by Peter...
