She's also co-starred with Cantinflas in "Pepe" and does a modern ballet that burns up the screen. "I don't know what reaction that will bring," she says. "They'll probably want me to play a strip teaser next." choir singer from Smithton, was perfect casting.

This does not mean, however, that aesthetic concepts and fine art techniques are without influence in the applied and commercial fields. If any doubt exists about the important part that strictly artistic matters play in much of our sales-minded world any visit to the many current Advertising Art Clubs shows throughout the nation at this time of the year will disprove them. In the large cities of America such as New York, Cleveland, Detroit, Philadelphia, Los Angeles, active Ad Art Clubs organized by the fraternity of the Madison Avenue gray flannel ad men are' responsible for much of the leading commercial art today.

Many of these designers working in the commercial field also are known for exhibitions of their paintings in galleries generally reserved for "long-haired" fine artists while others have contributed considerable artistry to a practical field. For example Saul Bass, well-known in the field of advertising art, has turned to the art directorship of movie titles (a highly specialized field). The current Alfred Hitchock chiller, "Psycho" now playing at the Gateway Theater contains titles which Saul Bass designed. These titles without any doubt express and set off the mood of a suspense-filled movie. Another Saul Bass masterpiece of cinematography was "Vertigo" this made artist Bass the leader in this particular branch of art.

Other leaders in the diversified fields of sales art are men who are perhaps unheard of in the annals of fine arts but who receive remuneration well exceeding what leading "legitimate" creators earn. These names Sutnar, Nietze, Grant, Guisti, Rand, Leonni, and many others are "giants" in the world of advertising art and when one studies record albums, industrial displays, "Fortune" magazine covers, or avant garde advertisements in the leading consumer magazines somewhere one fthese names will appear.

a remote or unconnected idea to Floridians, since the Museum -of Modern Art is in New York City. But this grant will be used to continue and strengthen the Museum's circulating exhi- bitions program. The Museum's original aim is to raise $23,000,000 and the CBS Foundation grant is a tremendous help towards this goal. James IL Smith chairman of the drive stated "This pledge that we can re-orient our circulating program to meet current and future needs particularly in our country's colleges and universities which have assumed increasing responsibility for presenting modern art to the general public in their localities as well as to their students." The Museum's department of circulating exhibitions organizes shows of paintings, sculptures, prints and drawings, architecture, design and photography from this country and abroad. Since 1932 this program sent out more than 500 exhibitions which have had more than 4,000 showings.

2 The first exhibition to be circulated under the CBS Foundation grant will be "New Spanish Painting and Sculpture." After exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art from July to September. 23, it will start a year long tour beginning with the Corcoran Gallery in Washington, D.C.
