Humanity, of which Boldini had one understanding, is the constant subject of sad-eyed, diminutive Raphael Soyer, who has another. His twin, Moses, and his Brother Isaac are also able painters, but in the last few years Raphael's single-minded portrayals of pathos in Manhattan's sober poor have given him the greater reputation. Last week his first one-man show since 1935, at the Valentine Gallery, brought 14th Street impressively to fashionable 57th. In Soyer's accomplished paintings of Greenwich Village characters there was neither humor nor brilliance but a great deal of dun truth...
...course is purely hypothetical--Radcliffe girls have stooped so low as to drink sherry at times, that is their own private problem, provided there are no college rules to the contrary.

Last week sad-eyed, stolid Hindemith, who is having a curiously unmanaged and unpublicized U. S. tour, bobbed up in Chicago to conduct the U.

In this picture he is a thin-mustached, esthetic bigwig racketeer who tunes his moods to Tchaikovsky or Wagner, keeps a slinky-eyed hostess (Anna May Wong), is dangerous to know because he eliminates occasional associates with sad-eyed sadism. With his town's financial and civic agencies pretty well in thrall he makes the social error of trying to snare a fine-feathered society girl (Gail Patrick), accidentally spills a little salt on his own tail, ends up where the righteous Hays office likes...
This weekend the Skipper's 1941 basketball outfit tackles a strong Yale Freshman team at New Haven. Although the Blue sports a fine record, having lost only two games, Skip stated that he is afraid Ivy Williamson, Eli coach, is going to be in for a sad evening...
