...floor was one of the most amazing museum robberies of modern times discovered. Most valuable of the ten stolen paintings were an "Annunciation" by Fra Angelico, a "Christ's Ascension" by Peter Paul Rubens. Most embarrassing loss was a "Judith" by Lucas Cranach, lent to the Museum by Sculptor Carl Milles. The other seven were a Rogier van der Weyden, a Sir Thomas Lawrence, a Romney. Van Dyck, Jean Fouquet. Francois Clouet and Bernardino Luini. Eight were from the Friedsam collection. The Van Dyck was 2 ft. by 1 1/2 ft. The rest were all about half as large...

Sculptor Fiene admits no hobby beyond his sculpture, but he owns two Siamese cats, makes them earn their daily herring by posing for him and his wife, Painter Rosella Hartman...
