...effect. Perhaps the most glaring example of forced and unnatural humor was Ralph Remley, who took the part of James the butler in a ludicrous fashion. Although she had but a few lines, Miss Roberta Lee Clark as Sadie Bloom, gave a very delightful and clever, interpretation of "the girl of the taxicab." She did her bit as well as anyone...

Cushing III), oval face, narrow eyes, pursed sleepy mouth; Halmi's portrait of Miss Constance Mc-Cann, a slim girl with red hair; Alfred Munnings' restrained, academical paintings of Mrs. George F. Baker Jr., Mr. Sidney Fish. There was an early Sargent; an early Augustus John...
