The piece describes his dune shack home, its visitors (including the Tashas and Charlie Zender), the beautiful garden, and its rustic charms. It concludes with a anecdote about a visit to the former home of George Cram “Jig” Cook (co-founder of the Provincetown Players) and a quote from Harry Kemp: “I’m glad I’m Harry Kemp.”

Main Article: REMBRANDT SHOW
A major article announces a “major exhibit of more than 120 Rembrandt drawings” opening Friday at the Fogg Museum in Cambridge. It details the international scope of the collection, its sponsorship by the Fogg Museum and Pierpont Morgan Library, and its significance as the most important display of Rembrandt’s work in the U.S. and Canada. It mentions specific works, including a bold sketch of a beggar woman, a seated old man, and a red chalk study of Rembrandt’s wife, Saskia, and son.
Accompanying Photo and Caption:
Below the article is a reproduction of a Rembrandt pen sketch depicting a woman and child, likely Saskia and her son Titus. A caption beneath the image reads: “THE SURE TOUCH of the master is evident in this pen sketch by Rembrandt, believed to have been done in 1636...”. The image is noted as being on loan from the Pierpont Morgan Library for the Fogg Museum exhibit.
Handwritten Note:
A handwritten note on a small piece of paper is taped below the photo, reading: “QUINCY, Mass. Circ. 45,338 Mrs. Whitman APR 18/1960”. This appears to be an archival or cataloging note, possibly indicating the newspaper's circulation or a donor’s name and date.
