...horror of savage mutilation-which means they leave out the point. . . . Even a mangled body on a [morgue] slab, waxily portraying the consequences of bad motoring judgment, isn't a patch on the scene of the accident itself. No artist working on a safety poster would dare depict that in full detail...
...Banker Frank Arthur Vanderlip to paint the Vanderlip family. Artist Katz started the mural as a PWA project, finished it on his own time, working nights, Saturdays, Sundays.

He throws down a red cushion to signify a gory head, tosses pieces of paper around to depict a snowstorm, etc. The sheer artificiality of this conventional, pseudo-Chinese method of representation is at first somewhat startling, then vaguely amusing, but finally becomes pretty bore-some. However, the completely disinterested attitude of the Property Man, who never says a word during the entire performance, does furnish a certain...
