Nadelman had his first show in a Paris gallery in 1909. His command of classic sculpture caused so much talk that Matisse put up a sign in his studio, forbidding discussion of Nadelman. The sculptor was then 27, a shy, handsome Pole in a turtleneck sweater who stayed away from the cafes, almost never left his studio except for long walks at night...
...days later, plump, curly-haired Dorothy, 26-a soprano hardly anyone in London had ever heard of-found herself in the studio of His Majesty's Voice recording company. The famed star of the Milan Opera, Madame Margherita Grandi, was making a recording of the sleepwalking scene from Verdi's Macbeth.

...first of a series of tinsel-wrapped, icing-covered educational programs. Plugged as a giveaway show, advertised with titillating copy ("Is it serious? Or just plain delirious?

The parents will also be invited to school functions, including the evening dances and roller-skating parties in the gym. "Westchester...
Like the same studio's Miracle on 34th Street, the new picture is a fantasy in which a pixie (well played by Cecil Kellaway) takes sides in a conflict between two oversimplified sets of values. The conflict involves Newsman Tyrone Power, who must choose between Good (writing as he pleases for "nickels and dimes" and marrying lovely Anne Baxter) and Evil (selling out to New York Publishing Tycoon Lee J. Cobb and his predatory daughter, Jayne Meadows). Any leprechaun knows the difference between good & evil, but it takes some time for a stuffy hero to figure...
