Poupelet presenting nudes. busts and
studies of animals. Miss Poupelet has
an interesting style simple, broad and
enriched by a certain subtle personal
quality. In the furthermost room there
are some glowing pictures OF the San
Francisco Fair By A. ". Emerson, more
glowing than convincing.
The Macbeth gallery is showing a
large number Of canvases by American
