Seventy-five members of the high nobility of Imperial Austria went to Rome last week to act out in good earnest the situation which Playwright Robert Emmet Sherwood and his U. S. producers made much hay with as Reunion in Vienna. In Rome's Imperial Hotel, they bowed their heads and bent their knees in a chamber where, on a borrowed golden throne raised on a dais, sat Zita, last Empress of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, mother of Otto, the 20-year-old pretender to the throne of Austria, Hungary or both...
...been able to chart her titanic course through the letters of our time. She is herself inimical to critics, and one of her strongest aphorisms insists that the artist stands in need of appreciation, but never of criticism. This has been sufficient to deter many of the faculty; Sherwood Anderson, most apt among her pupils, stylizes, and Ernest Hemingway, imitates, her.

...ponderous slopes have been visited by no picnic-parties; the journey is too far afield for weekday trippers; but some few fellow-writers have ventured into her shade and have returned with enthusiastic and grateful tales. Ernest Hemingway, Sherwood Anderson, Francis Scott Fitzgerald, Carl Van Vechten, supposedly sensible and certainly popular authors, have sat admiringly at her feet. When Hemingway was 23, just married, and learning to write in Paris, he went to Gertrude Stein with a letter of introduction from Sherwood Anderson. He sat, listened, looked at her "with passionately interested" eyes, returned again & again. She read and criticized...
...Stein did the driving, with fair success. (She never learned how to back very well.) The War over, they settled down again to Art. By this time Gertrude Stein's Three Lives (published in 1909) had given her a reputation among young U. S. writers. "Gertrude Stein and Sherwood Anderson are very funny on the subject of Hemingway. . . . Hemingway lad been formed by the two of them and they were both a little proud and a little ashamed of the work of their minds. . . . They admitted that Hemingway was yellow, he is. Gertrude Stein insisted, just .ike the flatboat...
