DIED. FRANCES DEE, 96, smart, lustrous star of Hollywood's golden age; in Norwalk, Conn. As a lark, after the University of Chicago, she took a bit part in movies and graduated to co-starring roles in such films as An American Tragedy, Little Women and I Walked with a Zombie.

It's a superb show full of work that will mostly be new to Americans, proceeding from lustrous 19th century geisha portraits to the post-Modernist shenanigans of Yasumasa Morimura, who makes heavily stage-managed pictures of himself decked out as Western icons of both sexes--sort of the Japanese Cindy Sherman. Anne Wilkes Tucker, the Houston MFA's influential chief photo curator, says she decided to organize...
