...Sunday morning the Deweys attended services at interdenominational Christ Church, located in an old Victorian meeting hall. They heard the Rev. Dr. Ralph C. Lankier, a Presbyterian, preach: "We do not have the right to be smug. We cannot cure evil by ourselves, but we can by ... working with...
...Woman In White (Warner), Wilkie Collins' mid-Victorian melodrama, has enough plot for a dozen ordinary movies-and a lot too much for one, unless that one is done brilliantly.

At 39, he bubbles with a new enthusiasm-making abstract paintings of crawling sea life. They hardly looked like the work of the same man. Exhibited in Manhattan last week, the paintings nonetheless showed the same craftsmanship he once lavished on academic art. Kupferman had changed horses in midstream and done it with the dexterity of a circus rider. The question...
