Grand old man of U. S. sculpture, 73-year-old George Grey Barnard, was courageously carrying on with the great Rainbow Arch of Peace which he hopes some day to give the U. S. public. Last month vandals broke into the abandoned trolley powerhouse in upper Manhattan which is Sculptor Barnard's studio, wantonly destroyed $17,000 worth of finished figures, left unharmed the full-scale plaster model of the Arch. Said Sculptor Barnard: "I must smile and learn to do better...
TIME, June 1. . . . Rainbow Room incident. I was seated at dais, talking to lady. Wedemar came to table and saluted me with, "Hello, you yellow ."

Beefy Governor Hoffman promptly proceeded to put the show on the front pages by flooring with one blow a spindly Hearstling named Lou Wedemar who heckled him about his handling...
Billed as the first feature-length musical comedy in the "New Technicolor," "Dancing Pirate" marks a signal advance attributable to the efforts of Robert Edmond Jones, but shows that there is still ground to be covered before the silver screen acknowledges the rainbow with satisfying grace. We liked the story; we have for years. A young dancing master (Charles Collins) is shanghaied to California, where he is soon waltzing his way to freedom and young love's triumph with Steffi Duna, the local senorita No. 1. In spite of the riot of color and considerable good dancing, the absence...
