...lovely Greek Venus of Cyrene (see cut), a, marble carved in the style of Praxiteles by an unknown sculptor. The armless, headless Venus belongs to Rome's Terme Museum. ¶ Raphael's graceful Sposalizio (Marriage of the Virgin) from Milan's Brera Gallery. Painted about 1503, the Sposalizio, an early Raphael, is one of the world's best loved pictures. ¶ The famed "Ludovisi Throne,"* 5th Century B.C. Greek bas-relief, called The Birth of Venus.

Five of them turned playwright; one, Ruth Gordon, rang the bell with Over...
Produced by Yolanda Mero-Irion's New Opera Company (TIME, Nov. 9, 1942), Helen Goes to Troy has a revised book and a slightly altered cast of Olympians, including a seminude Venus who really earns her apple. The melodic champagne of its original score has been spiked (by Composer Erich Korngold) with heady draughts from a dozen other Offenbach operettas, including the Barcarolle from Tales of Hoffman. Its Helen is sung by chestnut-haired Czech . Soprano Jarmila Novotna, one of the few opera stars who can fill the eye as well...
