Summary
This was a proud day in the life of modern art. This exhibition would prove that the machine could not conquer man.
The Cimabue Gallery was the last stronghold of nostalgia?expensive nostalgia. Apart for the robot attendants?unfortunately necessary, the times being what they were?there was practically nothing machine-made about the Gallery, dedicated as it was to being more than a mere commercial venture. Evelyn E. Smith returns to these pages with a gently ironic story of men and dreams?the day after tomorrow....
"This," said Mr. Ditmars, "is a proud day in the life of the Cimabue Gallery."
"It is a proud day in the life of modern art," added Mr. Replogle, feeling that Mr. Ditmars was giving too parochial a picture of the situation, "for it proves with more force than ever that the machine will not conquer man."
