...during the evening. Indeed, Seale has probably been too assiduous in filling the background of each scene with two or three people leaning against posts or draped over railings; this often gives an artificial, posed effect.

So do Robert Fletcher, whose costumes are extravagant but not ostentatiously so, and Caldwell Titcomb, whose music is colorful and strong.

Tito looked a little taken aback. He had only wanted to say. he insisted, that he and the Russians had marched arm in arm in World...
...them out, Manhattan galleries this week are busy staging their own "season survey" and "new discoveries" shows. In addition, the Modern Museum is showing its "Twelve Americans" of the year,* and two galleries are displaying the current choices and future bets of 19 museum directors and curators. The whole lavish display points up a new trend in the market place of modern art: since the contemporary field is too big to be financed by a handful of rich art connoisseurs and few critical taste-setters are influential enough even to flutter a price tag, the task of spotting promising newcomers...
