...hopeful. In an aged brownstone house in Manhattan's Chelsea district, with a theological seminary appropriately across the street, and a House for the Detention of Women next door, Editor Croly ran his magazine to establish a liberal credo, a way of looking at U. S. political and social life, rather than to win a practical political objective. A scholar-his field was U. S. history-and a gentleman, Herbert Croly was also almost a great editor. His unruly staff, over whom he never exercised the full powers of an editor, had one common admiration-Croly. Through...
...without some social vision, King Carol has helped peasants to buy farm implements, inaugurated new educational methods, built better roads, founded air lines. The Army, long deep in scandal, has been tidied up. There is still a long way to go, but the age-old corruption of Rumania, largely a heritage from Turkish days, is being rooted out.

Though Ober-laender lacks much that can be found in Daumier, this small sample of his work is convincing enough to make anyone who sees it want to see more. Humor in art presents difficulties which are not easy to surmount. A ludicrous subject, if not sufficiently restrained by means of proper emphasis upon style and technique will perhaps draw a short but hearty laugh from an onlooker. The same subject performed in a subtle fashion will cause a series of chuckles...
