Arts: Arts Notes, Apr. 22, 1929

¶When Publisher Frank Andrew Munsey died in 1925 his fortune was estimated at $40,000,000. Most of his wealth he assigned to the Metropolitan Museum of Art (TIME, Jan. 11, 1926). Last week the Munsey net estate was appraised by New York State at $19,747,687, of which $17,305,594 went to the Metropolitan. ¶Last week Justice William Harman Black of the New York State Supreme Court refused the motion of defense counsel to dismiss the $500,000 damage suit brought against Sir Joseph Duveen, international art dealer, by Mrs. Harry J. Hahn of Kansas City (TIME, Feb. 18, et seq.). Another trial may now be begun upon the motion of either party.
