...only sniffed, did not bite. But last week Philadelphia newshawks revealed that Manager Allen had caught at least three Philadelphia Orchestra men in the act of reaching for XBC contracts. A six-months-notice clause in their contracts (upheld by American Federation of Musicians' President Joseph N. Weber at a special Manhattan conference) foiled Trombonist Charles Gusikoff and Contrabassist Anton Torello. But prized Horn Player Arthur I. Berv got loose, signed up with NBC.

Favorite painting of a group of Amalgamated Clothing Workers who showed up at the opening...
Gershwin became fascinated with painting in the late 1920s. He began by buying pictures that appealed to him, works by Picasso, Rouault, Derain, Utrillo and by his friends Max Weber and Maurice Sterne. By 1933 his collection was big enough to rate an exhibition at the Chicago Arts Club.
