...cast is excellent. Were the play comparatively simple, good acting could be expected from the Dramatic Club, and would not be noteworthy. But in such an intricate play as "He Was Born Gay" convincing acting required a great deal of intelligence and ability. The lead, Mason, was especially complex and a less sensitive actor than William Manson would have mixed weakness, mysticism and ambition into a completely incomprehensible mass. That Manson was able to cope with such a character successfully is a compliment to his skill and perception. No less a job had the other members of the cast. Each...
...chain), one a diplomat (Sir Auckland Geddes, Ambassador to Washington, 1920-24), one a labor specialist (Harold Butler, former Director of the International Labor Office, Geneva). Five have had long Government experience, six saw active War duty. One makes the paper for English bank notes. One has an inferiority complex. One is stone-deaf, uses a mechanical ear and when seated by some one he dislikes, shuts...
...these old Near Easterners are almost identical with those of living Englishmen. Ancient Egyptian skulls resemble those in 17th-Century London plague pits, in New Stone Age box graves of Switzerland. Science has had much to puzzle over in these resemblances, and many others in the intricately shuffled complex of races, sub-races, types and varieties in Europe's white population...
...Great Rivers in Art" or "Paintings of Pigs") to loftier surveyals of important art forms. In the lofty class this week Manhattan's rich M. Knoedler & Co. presented "Classics of the Nude"-31 pictures from Pollaiuolo to Picasso. This was a good idea. The linear play and complex modeling of the human body, the textures, transparencies and color subtleties of the skin, have made nude painting what Bernard Berenson called "the most absorbing problem of classic art." To do the subject justice an exhibition would have to include several items not visible at Knoedler's. Among them...
Base of the conventional plowshare is an harmonic complex of two curves blending into one another. Because no machine could fit the contour exactly, these bases always had to be hand-polished. The "general-purpose bottom" of Oliver's new Raydex has a simple cylindrical curve which can be polished by machine, making production some 46 times faster and correspondingly cheaper. The conventional plowshare costs $4.25, will stand three resharpenings (about 75? apiece). Four Raydex points cost only $3.40, can be thrown away like razor blades and still save the farmer money as well as the trouble of finding...
