...There were prints to suit everybody. People who itch and fidget when confronted with the self-conscious strainings of Thomas Benton's I Got a Girl on Sourwood Mountain could turn a page to his Lonesome Road. For people who consider John Steuart Curry's darkly violent lithograph Line Storm "theatrical," Critic Craven supplied a pasture pastoral like Curry's bully Ajax. Others who sometimes wonder why Grant Wood indulges in such painstakingly stuffy satire as Honorary Degree (see cut) could admire his slick Seedtime and Harvest. Subtler was the humor of whimsical Doris...
...played? Arturo Toscanini, who has a memory like a telephoto camera, could remember having seen some such score. On Tuesday a phone call was put through to the Library of Congress in Washington. Music Librarian Harold Spivacke burrowed all day, late at night emerged in dusty triumph with a lithograph of the score (purchased for the Library by Carl Engel in 1922). On Wednesday photostat copies were hurriedly made and airmailed to Mr. Toscanini. On Thursday NBC copyists frantically scribbled scripts for the 105 men in the NBC orchestra. On Friday they rushed through a single rehearsal. On Saturday they...

The results were so deep-scarred with authenticity that swing musicians in Chicago last week had them tacked over their beds. Included: a jam session...
...Philadelphia show includes, besides 152 lithographs and 52 oils and watercolors, seven pieces of Daumier's sculpture and three original lithograph stones from which prints can still be made. Notable among the paintings are six watercolors whose discovery was announced a few weeks ago in Baltimore by researchers who are still engaged in sorting out the vast collection left by Henry Walters, "the South's richest man" (railroads), who died in 1931. Three of these, Interior of an Omnibus, First-Class Carriage, and Lawyer exist in no other version and had not been seen for 40 years...
