And there was Leon Woizikovsky who had done many of Ni- jinsky's roles (Harlequin, Petrouchka, the faun in L'Apres-Midi d'un Faune). Woizikovsky went off with Anna Pavlova, stayed with her until she died (TIME, Feb. 2, 1931).

Of the 29 canvases on view, not one was unimportant. Present were such frequently reproduced works as Picasso's mustachioed Harlequin, a good Tahiti Gauguin, Renoir's Claude as a Clown in Red, Cezanne's Man with a Pipe, eight irreproachable Derains. Another beauteous young socialite ma tron to take art seriously is Mrs. Mary Gallery Coudert, who last week obtained a Paris divorce from Attorney Frederic R. ("Fritz...
Upstairs among the cut flowers crowds six deep gazed and sniffed at President and Mrs. Herbert Hoover, two new roses originated by famed Rosarian Lyman B. Coddington of Murray Hill, N. J. President Herbert Hoover is a very harlequin of a rose. Shaded orange, yellow and pink, it is a larger, paler Talisman. Mrs. Herbert Hoover, unlike the delicate yellow Mrs. Calvin Coolidge introduced two years ago, is a rich velvety crimson...
