From Manhattan's Greenwich Village, where struggling artists exhibit their pictures, to 57th Street, where successful artists do the same thing, takes 15 minutes in the subway. It has taken many a worthy artist half a lifetime to make that journey. A show last week at the swank uptown Walker Galleries, attended by all the first-string critics of the city, showed that 27-year-old Joe Jones, onetime St. Louis housepainter, could make it in seven months.

Also built by Engineer Lindenthal were Pennsylvania R. R.'s Hudson and East River tunnels...
...many a year the Valentine Gallery on Manhattan's arty 57th Street has devoted itself to the more advanced of the socially acceptable left-wing artists. Because famed British Critic Paul Nash has referred to him as the successor to Matisse and Picasso; because he has been called a master of impressionistic line; because the people whom Hostess Elsa Maxwell invites to her parties have decided that he is "too, too divine,'' the chaste grey walls of the Valentine Gallery were last week given over to a one-man show of the later drawings of James Grover...
