...betrayed him, but his subsequent transformation to cleverness and understanding is a surprise in the light of the earlier characterization. Miss Fuchs appeared again as Marcolfa, the servant, and did her usual good job. Mary Anne Goldsmith as Belisa's mother was brief and entertaining, as were Ann Arensberg and Lucia Stein as elves. I suspect Wendy MacKenzie, although charming enough in the part of the bride, was partly responsible for the failure of clarity at the end of the play. Nevertheless, it came off pretty well, and Don Bourne's sets and Bill Meador's music added considerably...
Died. Walter Conrad Arensberg, 75, one of the world's leading art collectors, who in 1950 presented his 1,000-piece, $2,000,000 collection of 20th century and pre-Columbian art to the Philadelphia Museum of Art; of a heart attack; in Los Angeles. A firm believer that Shakespeare's plays were actually written by Francis Bacon, Arensberg wrote numerous books on the subject, founded the Francis Bacon Foundation to carry on research...
...more, a prime version of another historymaker, Brancusi's abstract sculpture, Bird in Space, alighted in the same spot. These headliners were just a part of one of the most superb School-of-Paris collections ever made, the 1,000-item, $2,000,000 life-work of Walter Arensberg, 72, rich California scholar, and his wife Louise. Their collection, which fills their servantless Los Angeles house from floor to ceiling (and which includes pre-Columbian sculpture), will move to Philadelphia as soon as the museum readies 19 new rooms...

To the unsympathetic eye, his Bird resembles a propeller blade, his Torso of a Young Man looks like a drainpipe, and his Sculpture for the Blind is strictly for the blind. Walter Arensberg has one of the most respectable explanations of Brancusi's work ever offered. Brancusi, he says, sculps what Plato had in mind by the idea of form: "Plato's 'idea' is the archetype from which the infinite forms of nature derive, and it is in that sense that...
Southern California, scene of the mighty creative labors of Screenland, is not notable for cultivation of the more modest arts and crafts. Walter Conrad Arensberg, one of the quietest and most discriminating U. S. collectors of modern art, has said that in Hollywood he enjoys the most perfect vacuum America can produce. A symbol of this condition has long been the Los Angeles Museum of History, Science and Art. Supported by the County of Los Angeles, it has boasted a beautiful lawn, a superb collection of fossils, and, since the last one was fired early in Depression, no art curator...
