Mexican dancers, Negro-spiritual singers, Hollywood starlets and a borrowed elephant livened the proceedings. The artists themselves hovered near at hand, ready with explanations and price lists. "It makes me feel good to be looked at," one of them informed a gaping bobbysoxer, "but I wish people would look at my pictures instead...
