...urgently invited to visit another Manhattan art show and inspect, at the Arthur U. Newton Galleries, a set of portraits by a small, kinetic, kinky-haired Pole named Stanislav Rembski. Most of those who accepted the invitation, however, went less to see a slick icy canvas of Dr. Frank Damrosch or a promising self-portrait of the artist than to have a good long look at a brand new picture of a smiling, self-confident, wispy-haired man of 45 in a blue serge suit. For the past two and a half years that man has solaced thousands of uncertain...
...Sopwith's first. In 1911, when he was 23 and had just won £4,000 for a non-stop flight of 176 mi., he brought to the U. S. a rickety biplane. With it, he made exhibition flights, took such notables as Nelson Doubleday and Walter Damrosch up for rides over Long Island. Interested in speed on water also, he won the Harmsworth Trophy in 1912 with Edgar Mackey's Maple Leaf IV, defended it successfully the next year. With the War, ''Tom" Sopwith began to make a fortune in England manufacturing his Camels, Pups and Dolphins. After...
...made up many a deficit, that he was too proud to go on acting as the Philharmonic's mouthpiece when he could no longer contribute to its support. President Flagler, who learned what an orchestra can cost when he supported the New York Symphony for his friend Walter Damrosch, went specifically into the Philharmonic's money troubles.* Every possible economy had been made, he said. And well he knows, for he delegates little responsibility, enjoys supervising the tiniest transaction. With box-office receipts off $60,000 this season, he said, the deficit would amount to something like...
...Between 1922 and 1928, when the Xew York Symphony merged with the Philharmonic, Mr. Flakier spent $1.048,152 on the Damrosch Or- chestra. (His father made the Flakier fortune on Standard Oil. Florida railroads.) The Philharmonic's operating expenses will amount to $686,000 this season. Salaries for 108 musicians and three conductors amount to $438,861. Receipts are estimated at $545.826. Neither Mr. Mackay nor Mr. Flagler felt able to help finance the orchestra this season. Bank loans made it possible. The Leipzig Gcivamlhaits Orchestra is older. *When Toscanini sailed last spring for Europe a little pile...
Divorced from Actress Eames (who died in 1930), Sidney Howard married "Polly" Damrosch, daughter of famed Conductor Walter Damrosch, in 1931. Two years ago they moved to California in a Buick. A thin, high-shouldered man, whose thick glasses and birdlike carriage give him a slightly alarmed appearance, Sidney Howard has a two-room flat in Hollywood, a more capacious apartment in Manhattan. For work he dresses in a tweed coat, grey flannel trousers, sneakers. He smokes cigarets steadily and rubs his chin while dictating, by fits and starts, faster than most stenographers can take...
