...Paris exposition of 193 7, and a series of hairy-nightmare etchings entitled Dreams and Lies of Franco. At the same time, Picasso's previous work has begun to emerge from the smoke of controversy into the lucidity of history. Not a mere canonization but a symptom of universal stock taking was the announcement last week by the Art Institute of Chicago and Manhattan's Museum of Modern Art of a huge, joint retrospective show of Picasso for next autumn.

This annoyed announcement was made by two cinemagoing citizens of Nutley, N. J., William R. Clay and George H. Siegel, who a month ago founded the Anti Movie Double-Feature League of America, to improve local programs and revitalize their neighbors' paralyzed posteriors. Last week Founders Clay & Siegel were surprised and sobered to find their organization catapulting to national scale. The A. M. D.F.
