Robert Henri was not an elegant, sensational painter like the late John Singer Sargent, nor a trenchant controversialist like the late Joseph Pennell. Insurgent, he did not crusade. He taught instead. Born in Cincinnati of French-English-Irish descent, he studied at the Pennsylvania and Julien (Paris) Academies, at the Paris Beaux-Arts.

Louise, the daughter of honest and conservative working people, herself employed in a dress-maker's-shop, has fallen in love with Julien a poet and "pillar of a cabaret" as Louise's mother succintly describes him. Julien has written frankly to the parents to ask for Louise's hand in marriage. The poet's careless life and invisible income do not prepossess the somewhat strait-laced parents in his favor, and they refuse his offer. Louise promises to clope with her lover if the opposition continues. After a fantastic picture of Montmartre at night in which...
