A Barnard Bulletin letter urges readers to boycott the C I Sandwich Shop and Sherman Cafeterias on 115th and 103 109 Streets to back a strike over low pay. The writer cites $12 weekly wages, lack of collective bargaining, long hours, and calls for a 48 hour week 15 minimum wage and union recognition. The piece notes past arrests of picketers under an injunction and frames support as defense of workers rights and student future interests.
Reader defends Eugene Savage against narrow art standards. The letter argues the mural forms a unified composition with central figure emphasis, subordinate groups, radical color, and an extraordinary overall tone that challenges conventional judgments.
The Pursuit of Happiness film blends American Revolution comedy with Puritan Bundling lore, featuring Francis Lederer and Joan Bennett in standout performances. The review praises direction and photography, notes strong supporting turns by Charlie Ruggles and Mary Boland, and highlights Friskin's challenging piano program with remarks on each Prelude and Fugue, praising expression and final encores.
James Friskin performed Bach’s Well Tempered Clavichord to a capacity Town Hall audience on Saturday afternoon October 20. The young pianist drew praise for humility toward the composer and for the expressive power Bach requires. He played at a brisk tempo, with moments of excess in the F major Prelude and Fugue No 9, yet displayed strength in stretto passages and a light touch in the running preludes. The reviewer notes Bach can be played at any tempo and prefers Friskin to Harold Samuel’s gentler approach.
A small but engaging group of landscapes and studies at the Fifteen Gallery on W. 57th St. Highlights include Charles Hervey Pepper's Hillside with a mauve tint and strong decorative unity, Beulah Stevenson's Glouchester a sunset waterfront with distorted perspective, and Alice Judson's woods watercolors plus Gordon Grant's notable fishes on paper. Also featured are oil studies like Bagage Patch and several charcoal works, with the marble bird-bath drawing attention.
