One of the eight art Fellowships went last week to Surrealist Blume to continue daubing at a small anti-Fascist canvas he began on Guggenheim funds...
Until this performance in "Desire" the Blond Venus has given the critics ample justification for their claim that she was merely a handsome woman who ran into all sorts of scrapes and took them all with the same dull look of languorous rapidity. To the mind of Josef von Sternberg, the dead pan was a panacea. But Dietrich under the new regime of Frank Bozarge is free to act, and she dispels with a flash all doubts as to whether...
