Critics noted that the work of many artists who are members of the Grand Central Galleries Association has been pointedly omitted from Mrs. Harriman's exhibition. So has that of a good many famed Englishmen and Frenchmen. But although the omissions in this, as in every other international exhibition, will lead to discussion, possibly even to ill-feeling, not even the disgruntled artists themselves could question the patrician disinterestedness of a lady who is one of the most noted sponsors of good art in this country.

...steadily through their parts, but they were always in the shadow of madame. The authors had probably willed it so. We should like to mention Mr. Thorn for his excellent bit as madame's chef, gesticulating, grimacing, and rushing foolishly about the stage in the immemorial way of Frenchmen.

...Nations and recently appointed French Civilian High Commissioner to Syria (TIME, Nov. 16) is known in Paris as a man of caution and of peace. Those qualities recommended him highly as a successor to General Maurice Sarrail, the recalled French High Commander to Syria (TIME, Nov. 9). Last week Frenchmen were well pleased as M. de Jouvenel slipped quietly over to London for a conference with British Foreign Secretary Austen Chamberlain, preparatory to setting out for Syria...
