Since then the Newark Museum, under Director Dana's devoted successor, Beatrice Winser, has gone through lean years and come out with no activities lost. Meanwhile, the rest of the country has been catching up with it. Museum workers trained in Dana's "apprentice classes" (another first in the U. S.) have taken his fresh attack into a dozen important museums. Manhattan's Museum of Modern Art has adopted a policy of exhibiting industrial design, has added architecture.

Missouri-born and Vassar-educated, Miss McAfee taught in progressive schools, was dean of women at Oberlin...
...sympathy Vernon's tragic death in an aeroplane clash is sentimentalized to the point of insincerity. Ginger Rugers is perfect on the dance floor; in tears she is just another girl. The real entertainment of the movie is the dancing, which makes it an attractive but not a worthy successor to past Astaire Rogers magniflickioes: The sad truth remains: even the best of screen romancers turn almost dull after marriage...
