Funpokers James Thurber, Wolcott Gibbs, both young, both Manhattanites, both write for the Manhattan smartchart New Yorker...
While visitors at the new French Museum (see above) admired the portraits of beautiful women by a century of great French painters, another more specialized showing of lovely ladies was on view last week.

Its first issue showed care of preparation, uncommon taste in typographical layout. Most famed contributor: Roark Whitney Wickliffe Bradford, author of Ol' Man Adam & His Chillun (source of Marc Connelley's Pulitzer prize play, The Green Pastures). Instead of "The Talk of the Town" (New Yorker), the New Orleanian's first pages were headed "Uptown-Downtown-Back of Town...
