This week, in the same pine-bedecked Armory, more than 300 of the original 1,300 paintings and sculptures that made their formidable debut 50 years ago will be on view again. Joseph S. Trovato, assistant to the director of Utica's Munson-Williams-Proctor Institute, got the idea of reassembling as much of the show as possible back in 1956. It was a big job. Though the original show was probably the most famous U.S. art exhibition of all time, the 1913 catalogue was a masterpiece of vagueness; the paintings and sculptures have been sold and resold, titles...
Rhythmic Tranquillity. In Utica, N.Y., where Davies was born 100 years ago, a retrospective collection of his art is now on show. The 98 works at the Munson-Williams-Proctor Institute include oils, watercolors, two tapestries, and some small bronzes. Some of the oils, like Crescendo (see color), are filled with the slender nudes which Davies used not so much to people his landscapes as to punctuate his rhythmic compositions. And the tranquil quiet of Our River Hudson seems removed by much more than half a century from the birth of the brash modern movement that Davies supported so willingly...
...filming proceeded last week in the Florida Keys on Warner Brothers' PT 109, Navy landing craft maneuvered around Munson Key and 20-mm. U.S.N. ammunition pah-pah-pahed in the air. But Warner Brothers was paying for all the ammo and all the fuel for the ships. Moreover, where they once might have dragged old PT boats out of mothballs, the Navy refused. No PTs are on active service, so Warner Brothers had to build...
...oddity of this method of policy determination is that it works. The Daily Princetonian is not in a perpetual state of revolt over Munson's editorials--he usually is correct in guessing what the rest of the Princetonian board thinks on a given issue. He could not do this at Harvard, but then, Princeton is different from Harvard...
Princeton fosters an uncanny conformity among its undergraduates, evident from the moment a visitor walks onto the campus. They dress in one of the two Nassau costumes--tweed or dungarees and old sweater. They share a quiet enthusiasm for Princeton. It is this conformity which allows Munson to run his paper the way he does...
