...apparently, is a direct and unblushing representation of American life." Architect Frank Lloyd Wright meets with Critic Craven's approval. One of the few art writers of today to uphold George Grey Barnard and his vast vaporings in stone, Mr. Craven recalls that no less a person than Rodin once openly envied this aging U. S. sculptor. Of Jacob Epstein's 100-odd "masculine" bronzes, he says: "There is not a dead one in the lot. . . . One of the most original styles in all sculpture." He advises Jose Clemente Orozco to return to Mexico if he wants...
...Paris grumbling old Auguste Rodin took her as a pupil. To perfect her knowledge of anatomy she practiced dissection at the Royal College of Surgeons for three years. Recognition followed. Museums in France, Britain and the U. S. bought her work; she has been decorated by both France and Jugoslavia. To the general public perhaps best known works are the stone group at the entrance of London's Bush House and the recumbent crusader that is Harvard's War Memorial...
...Great Lover (by Leo Ditrichstein, Frederic & Fanny Hatton; C. E. Wee & J. J. Levanthal, producers). Rodin, for whom he modeled, never got Lou Tellegen into such extraordinary poses as those he strikes for himself on the stage.

Galleryman Joseph Brummer is only obliquely a promoter of modern art. His business is purveying, to the very rich, old masters, antique statuary, tapestries and furniture. But hoarse-voiced M. Brummer is also a sculptor. He was once a pupil of the late great Auguste Rodin. He knew Henry Rousseau, he lent money to hollow-eyed Modigliani. At the top of his furniture shop is a chaste, grey-hung room where each year he holds four or five carefully chosen exhibitions of modern painters little known to the U. S. public...
