Brisk, mustached and famed for his spaghetti suppers, he has never designed an opera house but his Squibb Building and many another chaste Manhattan skyscraper are nationally known. As a practical result, Beaux-Arts students have lately been getting assignments for esquisses and projects of automobile factories instead of orangeries. When they finish them in six weeks and ship them to New York, they are returned with crisp comments by such...
