...spread of culture. When the amateur artist was forced to compete with cheap lithographs and daguerreotypes, he copied them in all their banality, and thereby lost his own fresh vision.

The Affairs of Anatol, Arthur Schnitzler's sweet-cynical, turn-of-the-century portrait of a world-weary Viennese Don Juan, inspires The Gay Life, with music and lyrics by Arthur Schwartz and Howard Dietz (Nov. 18). The integrated talents of Negro Oscar Brown Jr. have resulted in the book, lyrics and music of Kicks...
