J. P. Mann Receives
. Poster From His Son
Russell in Denver
J. P. Mann of the Mann Music and
Art company, received an original
poster from his son, Russell, who is
attending the Denver Art academy.
The poster is a picture of a Balwin
grand piano, and the lights and shades
shown in the shining surface of the
instrument are remarkable. The pos
ter is about 1Sx24 inches, and is done
in water colors. Russell Mann has
been attending the art academy for
about three months and intends to
take up this line of work as a profes
sion. His work has already attracted con
siderable comment, ten exhibits of his
work being included in a recent art
exhibit in Denver. While in Alliance
he did considerable work in cartoon
ing, and while in Alliance high school
he acted as staff cartoonist for the
high school paper.
He will attend the art academy for
at least six months and probably lon
ger, and a number of good judges who
have seen his work pretlict a bright
future for him in his chosen profes
sion. The poster i3 on display at the Mann
Music and Art company utore and has
attracted a good deal of attention. At
a short distance it appears to be a
printed poster, and only on close exam
ination does the fact that it is an
original become apparent.

ing the deadlock among the republi

five republicans to beat the Smoot
