...Vienna-born Marie Hauser, 45, was deeply attached to the wife and family of her employer, Captain Daniel Sickles, art-collecting official of Langley Aviation Corporation of Port Washington. But she hated the Captain, whose collection of paintings was the pride of his Manhattan apartment. Three weeks ago, while Mrs. Sickles and the family were vacationing in Bermuda, the Captain ordered Marie to ready up his country place at Hampton Bays, Long Island, for weekend guests...
With a composition as clean as an Airacobra's wing, Vienna-born Posterman Joseph Binder won $500 for the best design for Army Air Corps recruiting. A deft color job that made the most of his abstractionist science won Painter John Atherton of Ridgefield, Conn, first money for the best poster boosting Treasury defense bonds.

Superbly filmed (in Technicolor) by Vienna-born Director Fritz Lang, Western Union has the same swift pace and scenic beauty that distinguished John Ford's Stagecoach two years ago. The players are uniformly ingratiating-including Robert Young as a brash young tenderfoot from Harvard who finally avenges Vance's death. But acting honors go to lean, tall (6 ft. 2 in.)

For an oldtimer, the harpsichord is still stepping lively. Last week Vienna-born Yella Pessl, who has given 70-odd harpsichord programs on the radio (CBS) since last June, returned to the air after a brief vacation. While she was away, her place had been taken by comely Harpsichordist Sylvia Marlowe, who plink-a-plunked not only 18th-Century tunes but rolling, rocking-rhythmed...
Among hundreds of European refugees who poured into the U. S. last week were: the Countess of Carnarvon, Vienna-born Dancer Tilly Losch; lean, stoop-shouldered Baron Edouard de Rothschild, retired head of the Paris branch of the international banking house (who declared over $1,000,000 in jewels to customs authorities), his wife and daughter; French Playwright Henri Bernstein; mystic Belgian Dramatist Count Maurice Maeterlinck, 77, his long white locks protected from the sea wind by a Göringesque hair net, his pretty, redheaded actress wife Renee, 45. Maeterlinck, who said he had nothing left but royalties from...
