...History's repetitions prove that after excessive hostility one may expect unreasoning cult. Certainly Cezanne has passed through these phases; he has been the sanctified father, rather indiscriminately, of all the post-impressionist movements. Now he is fast becoming "good form", among the hidebound conservatives. No museum would dare to be without a Cezanne. In Paris, a retrospective exhibition of the artist's work is on view at Berheim Fils, Place de la Madeleine, with an admission charge to swell the fund for a proposed monument to him. It is encouraging to know that the artist engaged to achieve...
...swarms of delegates to the Democratic National Convention to bolster up the Summer attendance at shows. How much patronage will actually flow to the theatres from the Convention is a question causing scepticism among the wise or hoot-owls. Broadway dopsters figure that many of the practiced delegates will expect to go to shows on passes, on the sheer strength of being delegates...

It is too much to expect every artist to be a chemist who can test his own pigments. ... So far as our resources have permitted we have undertaken the pioneering work in this direction...

But in spite of all this, or very likely because of it, he has transcribed an altogether delightful account of this picturesque ramble. He insists...
...Dark Continent's natural resources on an expanded scale. The swift development of Africa's virgin resources promises the shortest cut to restoring natural wealth and prosperity, and reducing the huge War debts. The key to the process lies in communication and transportation. The British apparently expect to open up the continent from north to south by the Cape-to-Cairo Railroad and its feeder lines, while the French have established lines of communication by tractor across the Sahara from Morocco to Timbuctoo in the heart of the continent. No one knows what a thorough exploitation...
