...literature, Brothers Ernest & Paul Fiene have long held a respected if not dominant position in Manhattan's art world. Painter Ernest is the better known. He is well represented in many important collections, figures regularly in exhibitions, teaches painting to hand-picked students. Last week blond, bushy-mustached Brother Paul gave his first one-man show of sculpture and outgrew the title of "Ernest Fiene's Younger Brother" as completely as Stephen Vincent Benét outgrew ''William Rose Benét's Younger Brother" with the publication of John Brown's Body...

Cropping out here & there in the proceedings is curvesome, loud...
When he had finished playing the studies and a less effective fox trot, Iturbi pointed out a tall blond man with a foxlike face sitting in a box. Robert Russell Bennett stood up and, for one of the rare times since he stopped playing every instrument in a boys' band in Freeman, Mo., faced an audience. In Manhattan for 13 years Russell Bennett has practised his trade behind scenes. He works for Harms, the music-publishers. When a songwriter like Jerome Kern or George Gershwin wants to put on a show he takes his tunes to Harms for Russell...
