Everyone, even an art critic, has his own way of valuing pictures. Nils Nilsson Skum, a Laplander, values them according to one rule-of-thumb: how many reindeer do they show? His own crayon drawings sometimes have hundreds. He figures that must be why three Swedish museums own them. It was not the reason that Manhattan's Museum of Natural History put his pictures on exhibition last week.

Adding to the general fun is the conductor, who swings Tarzan-style from Yale to Yale in an effort to collect his fares. The girls meekly surrender their dime, as a rule, but the male element jumps off and runs for a while (if he hasn't already been swept off by a passing car), regaining the trolley after the conductor has passed or has given the whole thing up as hopeless...

He set out to prove it and for three years painted starved, laundresses, absinthe drinkers and grave, bearded beachcombers in blue.
