Just back from a year's travel in the Orient, Mr. Warner has so organized the display of Pacific culture...
...never been publicly known that Picasso not only did the cubist decor for this extravaganza but rewrote Cocteau's book. In Rome he fell in love with a minor member of the Diaghilev ballet, Olga Koklova, and found himself faced with the unusual demand for a Russian-Orthodox Church marriage. In 1918 the marriage took place in Paris, and the Picassos moved into the two top floors of a heavy, expensive, Second Empire house...
