...Kennedy Galleries art critics piously eyed a collection of original Mickey Mouse cartoons from the Walt Disney Studios in Hollywood. Wrote one, "Genius . . . profoundest stuff . . . drama of the eternal ego." Another noted "the integrity of the draftsmanship, the flair for effective massing of spaces and the never failing rhythmic pattern of the drawings." From Manhattan the cartoons will go to leading U. S. colleges and museums for exhibition under the auspices of the College Art Association.† Mickey Mouse's popularity derives from the absolute freedom of the art form in which he exists. He can break all natural...
Aside from a little difficulty in catching on to the rhythmic lilt and the brogue of the dialogue, easily anticipated by reading the play in question, the factor which may evoke difficulty is the seeming lack of patriotism, shown by their absence, of Boston's political corps. Incidentally, seeing a performance or so of the Abbey players is a fine way of attaining atmosphere for that examination in Comparative Literature...
...score, loaded with "rhythmic dialog" which was billed as a Rodgers-Hart invention, turns out to mean merely a superfluity of rhymes. Lewis Milestone's direction is graceful but undistinguished.

Corks popped in a drunken finale. But Night Club had verve, spontaneity, fresh harmonic and rhythmic effects missing from the run of ambitious jazz, which nowadays seems all dressed up with no place to go. Two parts at least-the melody given to the lovers and the strident "Dance on a Dime"-should make song hits as rich as Johnny Green's "Body & Soul," which...
...Atlantic seaboard are rising, while the middle falls. Portland, Me. and Charleston. S. C. gain 7 to 15 in. elevation in a century. Boston. New York, Atlantic City, Philadelphia and Baltimore subside 3.5 to 11.5 in. a century. Key West seems stationary. The rises & falls seem to be rhythmic. Boston, now sinking, was on the up between 1847 and 1876, with most of the elevation gained between 1857 & 1858. The sudden gain, surmises Dr. William Fitch Cheney Jr. (Connecticut Agricultural College), was related to the Naples earthquake of 1857. Charleston had an earthquake in 1886 which may account...
