'N X FEV D K 1Vt I f In the year 1944, fleeing from a blinding rain storm, a stranger hurried into the marble halls of Cleveland's Art Museum and shook out her silk um- brella. Not a human being was in sight and only the high walls crowded with pictures, stared down ather. The stranger put aside her dripping pack- ages and began a tour of the room into which she had come, noting at once that all the pictures were of young women. The name under one was Marion Shupe. A familiar name. Why there were others she knewl well too! Pettee, Kroenke, Houck! So this was where the famous collection of Por- traits of Prominent Clevelanders graduated from Hathaway Brown had been hung! Forgetting the storm, she lost herself in the masterpieces done of her old class mates. First came Elizabeth Trenkamp, painted on the steps of her celebrated home for aged actors. With outstretched arms she welcomed the bent figure of A1 jolson, pictured tottering up the walk to the institution, singing a pop- ular air from the days when she was a girl. Next from its enormous gilt frame, smiled the face of Helen Lessick. Perched high on a box labered Helen Le-ssick Soap Factory Products. She gave the wforld that Kindergarten Complexion. There followed the picture of a young woman squeezed into anlold de- lapitated roadster, which was so small her knees were pushed up to her chin. The scene was Ninth and Euclid and showed traffic parting to let her through and policemen standing respectfully by with bowed heads, while the vehicle crashed into their midst. It was entitled, She Taught Us Submission in I924u, and was done by the artist, Helen McVey, of herself. The fourth picture revealed Barbara Bancroft in her Hollywood Studio, where she is featured as the Female Fairbanks taking the morning exercises, which have m.ade her what she is today. Interviewers clamoring at the gate and tourist-s with kodaks, hanging over the wall, were being refused admit- tance to the training grounds. Picture number five showed Dorothy Allison in a dramatic situation! Her guitar teacher on bent knees was imploring to be taught the higher technique 20' I
