...Pittsburgh short, suave, russet-haired Gerald L. (for Leslie) Brockhurst served on the jury for the 1939 Carnegie Inter national Exhibition. And in Manhattan two exhibitions of his work were opened which showed him equally proficient with brush, crayon, etcher's needle. At the Knoedler Galleries was a loan exhibition of his portraits and drawings. The Arthur Harlow Galleries showed the first complete exhibition of his etchings. With his projected English commissions canceled or postponed "for the duration," Artist Brockhurst, whose deafness kept him out of World War I, planned to paint portraits...
...Russet Mantle (by Lynn Riggs; Mayer & Queen, producers) is supposed to concern itself chiefly with a couple of young New Dealers (Martha Sleeper and John Beal), who sound off at length about Changing the System but, by curtain time, have succeeded only in conceiving an illegitimate baby.

Over the moors by the sea the gulls are still crying, but the sandpiper is gone from the shore. The sea-weed sways among the brown rocks, and the sun goes down in purple...
...Tomorrow at three o'clock in a meadow on the Cote d'Azur I have an appointment with Pegasus. Pegasus is the name of my airplane. It has a russet body and white wings. . . . Sometimes drunk with petrol it leaps through the air like its brother of old, but in the night it can glide at will like a phantom...
