Episcopalians call Bishop Freeman "the 20th Century prophet of the church, a leading exponent of prophetic ministry, a new St. Chrysostom* of the pulpit whose magnetic oratory and sound reasoning have great effect on his congregation.

This piece, a portrait of Galli-Curci, is well done in a realistic manner, where the surface has been minutely worked. How much more interesting and daring is the other painted and laquered wood representation of the prima donna. Here a brilliant red comb above dark hair, and crimson lips suggest the sparkle of the stage. The marble version gives us her features as an individual, while the colored...
