...gone out and solicited the most likely customers-newlyweds, new parents, new homeowners. Yet furniture men are the first to admit that promotion alone is not enough. The real remedy for the industry's ailments is to produce better-styled, lower-priced furniture. Kroehler recently brought out a medium-priced line (see cut) that follows the new trend of matching pieces for all rooms, and it is selling well. With it, a family can furnish a two-bedroom house for less than $2,000. Furniture men will have an increasingly tough time trying to sell cheap but poorly made...

(The Ten Commandments) DeMille, a veteran purveyor of history as it should have been -with color, wide screen and brigades of extras-helped out New York City on a problem of medium-high learning.

Born in a world of traditional art,* Sandy turned first to engineering, drifted from job to job, began to find his medium in 1926 with wire sculptures. He created out of wire a whole circus, complete with leaping trapeze artists, jumping kangaroos and horse-hurdling bareback riders. Their mobility, controlled by springs and a master crank, charmed a Paris Left Bank audience that included Jean Cocteau, Pablo Picasso, Fernand Leger and Joan...
