...Franklin Roosevelt in the past has seen plenty of such dynamite turn out to be a squib, and he knew the three TVA directors better than anyone else in Washington. And Franklin Roosevelt is a political showman without peer. Even so, Washington was hardly prepared for the kind of show he decided...
...Gaiety Girls (Alexander Korda) is a fresh-as-a-daisy English musical. It has sparkling lines, a logical story and a great show of versatility by England's gay, lantern-jawed Jack Hulbert, who is a good song-&-dance man, a better actor. Opposite him, blonde, healthy-looking Patricia Ellis has a better role than Hollywood ever gave her, does better than she ever did in Hollywood...
...make news after a triumphant first U.

Arranged by a long list of socialite sponsors for the benefit of the public Education Association of New York, it was correctly entitled "Great Portraits from Impressionism to Modernism." In the lofty, skylit galleries of Wildenstein & Co. visitors saw 48 selected masterpieces by Cezanne, Manet, Renoir, Gauguin, van Gogh, Toulouse-Lautrec, Degas, Marie Laurencin, Matisse, Derain, Pascin, Picasso, Modigliani. Visitors who regarded any of these reputations as unfounded were quickly disabused...
