...must either stop buying pictures or rent more rooms to hang them. Hence the Marie Harriman Gallery. Art critics, dodging nervously among socialites, were impressed. 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") Coudert Jr. (defeated...
