...Douglas bomber in California (TIME, Feb. 6), had upset and excited Military Affairs.* In the White House, President Roosevelt began to lecture Chairman Sheppard on his reasons for helping France, using background facts and confidential reports so arresting that Chairman Sheppard presently told the President he really thought the whole Military Affairs Committee should hear this lecture. Mr. Roosevelt agreed, and presently the committee, 17 strong, were closeted with the U. S. Commander in Chief at the White House...
Henry IV, Part I (by William Shakespeare; produced by Maurice Evans). Though Henry IV contains the greatest comic figure in English literature, it has been produced on Broadway only once (for a week in 1926) in 43 years. One reason: the whole play cannot be performed in a single evening; another: Falstaff is not only the greatest but the fattest of comic figures, and a severe physical strain on any actor who, all padded and stuffed, impersonates him. For that weighty reason, Maurice Evans announced he would play Falstaff for only four weeks...
Cubism was an invention of the same mind nind that put roller skates on the Máagan tortoise.

Liking nothing so Puch as new methods, on his return to Paris he went to work on it. Cezanne had patiently toiled for years to realize on canvas the solidity of air and landscape by means of delicately placed little patches and planes of color. Cubism put roller skates...
...future will have to reckon with in estimating his work. It is significant that his first "collages," paste-jobs of paper and other textures, were not intended as pictures but as models for pictures. Dealers and dilettante admirers insisted that they were wonderful, and Picasso shrugged off the whole matter. The element of nose-thumbing and Dada (organized senselessness) in his later work has probably the same genesis...
Business. Estimates of the number of paintings Picasso has produced vary from 1,200 to 10,000. Best guess is somewhere between 3,000 and 4,500. Since Rubens, with a whole "factory" of apprentices, turned out less than 3,000, it is likely that Picasso has been the most prolific first-rater who ever lived. In any logical system of supply and demand, a Picasso ought to be cheap. But Picassos are notoriously not cheap, and for this there are two explanations...
