...reality with which the Surrealist painters and writers are concerned. As it happens, most of the critical enthusiasm for Mr. Caldwell's work has been devoted less to defending his "realism" than to pointing out the beauties of his style.

They believe they have lately had notable success with the Psalms. And last week Miss St. Denis had ready a dance-pageant which she and a "rhythmic choir" were to present this week at the Riverside ("Rockefeller") Church of Dr. Harry Emerson Fosdick, later at the Rutgers Presbyterian Church on upper Broadway.
