Very often they are even more up-to date than the young artists who "To prove it, I had the makeup people at Paramount fix me up so i I looked a mess. I had some pic-i turcs taken and have sent them to the director, David Miller." So far she hasn't heard, but she's hoping.

He depicts not only the excitingly entangled lines of ships, cranes, silos, but, with almost, the same vigor, a red flower bouquet, a still life of fruit or the attractive light-phenomenon of rose-colored sand. It will be interesting to watch his development. He may be one of those "modernists" who will become more modern as soon as they outgrow the chains of academism. There was once a sharp division between the free and the applied" arts. This division has nearly disappeared in our day.

The design of the painter and the design of the enamel fashioner come pretty close, which underlines Mr. Champigneulle's fear that abstract art may develop before long into sort of "mechanized enriching the objects surrounding us while becoming spent itself.

Both artists, obviously intelligent and well aware of what is going on In the modern art world follow modern styles and bring individual taste and a good measure of craftsmanship to their' work. Our initial remarks on "abstract" fashions are not calculated to minimize their talents. On the contrary, this is an attractive, probably above-average show of contemporary taste and techniques. But at the same time, while walking up and down in front of Mr.

Matte's mostly semi-abstract impressions of seashores, harbors, wharves, towns and landscapes, "organized" In verticals and horizontals, I could not help thinking that, for all his skill and imagination, there was little genuine excitement and youth about this new mid-century academism.

It's not hard to see the appeal in the picture.

It's there in story, characters, and gorgeous wide-screen color. But as objective as one might want to be about it, that appeal is a saccharine trap for moviegoers with a sweet tooth.
