Because of Fascist art censorship, 43-year-old Viani had never dared show his radical variations on the human form before 1945, although for 16 years he plugged away at them in the privacy of his Venice studio, smoothing their voluptuous plaster curves with wire brushes. At the end of World War II, he brought his work out into the open for the first time, won recognition at the big Venice Biennial show last year...
...decided to move to bigger quarters, called on her sister-in-law's secretary, the 37-year-old wife of Dentist Willard Burdette Force, to help her out. From then on, with forceful, explosive Mrs. Force as front man, the Whitney Studio went great guns. By 1928 the Whitney Studio Club, where artists could get together and show their works, had 400 members and 400 more were clamoring to get in. Dozens of artists including Painters John Sloan, Edward Hopper, Reginald Marsh and Sculptor John B. Flannagan, had had their first one-man shows at the Whitney. Works...
...affairs. "We asked ourselves what we could do that the independent station could not do," said Barber, "and the answer was the Football Roundup." Instead of bringing a single big game to the air, the three-hour CBS Roundup (Sat. 2:30 p.m., E.S.T.) brings 20. From a master studio in Manhattan, Barber has direct wires to a group of five "live" stations, each covering a different sectional game as though it were a regular broadcast. Also, capsule summaries of lesser games are phoned in at intervals through the afternoon by some 12 to 15 on-the-spot reporters...
...pains, Wald gets only $2,700 a week, about half of what he is worth to a top Hollywood studio at the going rate for production geniuses. Even on a living scale modest for Hollywood bigwigs (a ten-room house without swimming pool or tennis court), he moans that he can save little of it after agents' fees and taxes. Though tied to his handsomely austere wage by an optionless long-term contract that runs through 1951, Wald gets some comfort from recognition. He flirts occasionally with another studio to learn how much he is really worth, and does...
...some better-than-usual jokes (Berle poking his head between the curtains to ask drowsily: "Porter-what station is this?"), and plenty of corny ones (the first stooge to come onstage spit water in Berle's eye). But, as usual, whatever Comic Berle said or did reduced the studio audience to helpless shrieks of laughter. Even Berle's spectacular records of last year were in danger. Sindlinger researchers made the popeyed announcement that of all Philadelphia's TV sets, 80% were tuned to Berle and only 3.6% to other shows...
