...votes were unanimous by show of hands, accompanied by rousing cheers. By this means the Supreme Soviet, before adjourning sine die, elected the Praesidium. This body of 37 members is not a cabinet. Indeed, members of the Russian Cabinet, called the Council of People's Commissars, are barred from the Praesidium. Stalin- not a member of the Cabinet, therefore eligible-was elected an ordinary member of the Praesidium. Although "where Stalin sits is the head of the table," amiable old Mikhail Kalinin was elected chairman of the Praesidium, i. e., "President of Russia...
...True Confessions, with $15,000 spent in exploitation, ordered several hundred thousand more February copies than it had been selling, put them on sale December 24, six days early. But by last week Mr. Fawcett and his True Confessions were a pretty disillusioned pair, and did not hesitate to show it in a startling newspaper advertisement run in six cities: "Don't let anything prevent you from buying your February True Confessions. . . .

...museum's show of Winslow Homer in 1936 was a landmark in the recent appreciation of that 19th-Century artist, and year ago the museum made news with a lively exhibition of Luks, Bellows, Henri and other important U.

In Colonial America, there was little demand for landscapes. Unknown journeymen painters turned out a few which, like Runaway Horse (see cut), are still as fresh as daisies...
Since January 3, 15,000 Londoners a week have filed reverently into Burlington House to see the annual winter show of the Royal Academy-this year a whopping display of 17th-Century European art to which the King lent four famed canvases by Rubens. Fortnight ago a smaller exhibition of larger import opened a few blocks away at the New Burlington Galleries and immediately began to draw comparable crowds. This was the first solo exhibition of England's five-year-old MARS (Modern Architectural Research) Group, which now numbers about 60 members in the United Kingdom and at least...
