Master. As free and furious as they come is John Marin, the acknowledged master of living U. S. water-colorists and an artist almost certainly great. Last week his old friend and patron, Alfred Stieglitz, opened an exhibition of Marin paintings done during the last two years. To discerning critics they were simpler and more exciting than any previous Marin exhibition...
...John Marin is now 67 years old, a wry, shy, wrinkled little man with a long, sharp nose and grey hair in tousled bangs over his forehead. In winter he lives in Cliffside, N. J., and in summer he goes to Stonington, Me. He has not been out of this annual orbit since his two years in Taos, N. Mex. in 1929-30, a period when he says the brilliance of light in the desert made him "continually dippy." Painters like Tintoretto, Rembrandt and Goya he usually refers to as "those old boys." Last week his first visit to Manhattan...
...Whitney Museum, a memorial show of the water colors of Charles Demuth surrounded a festive holiday crowd with the soft, rich colors and animated line of a master whom most critics rate second only to John Marin in his medium. Demuth died in October 1935, aged 52, after 20 years of quiet painting in the old Demuth home in Lancaster, Pa. The Demuth tobacco business in Lancaster, founded by a German forebear in 1770. is still carried on there by the family. Artist Demuth studied at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts and for several years in Paris...

At 6 a. m. when a foghorn snorted, 18.000 people started a mass dash, each eager to be first across the Golden Gate between San Francisco and the Marin County mainland. By nightfall 178,000 had crossed on foot and each apparently had been first in "one way or another. Sprinter Donald Bryant was first man across. Esther & Ann Bullard were first twins. Carmen & Minnie Perez were first skaters. Florentine Calegari was first on stilts. A Scottie was first dog. Police rushed to aid one woman staggering along with her tongue...
...twelve other men were working up underneath the completed centre span of the new San Francisco-Marin County bridge.* Like wrinkled grey granite, 220 ft. below them ran the swift tidal currents of the Golden Gate. Most of the men were standing on a heavy wooden platform, slung below the rail-girders on steel beams. They were yanking away the boards from beneath the hardened concrete floor of the 4,200-ft. span. Two men were below them picking fallen boards out of the stout hempen safety net that stretched the whole length of the span...
