Hey!

The child artists who have begun to make news in Federal Art Project classes are as fresh as cinema tots are synthetic. Last week the first U. S. art gallery devoted exclusively to work by 4-to-15-year-old talents opened in Washington, sponsored jointly by WPA and city officials. But a Federal Art Project class in Manhattan stole the children's show of the week with an exhibition of paintings, under each of which WPA Instructor Victor Laredo had stuck the artist's verbal description of his work. Samples: P: "Hey, you know who this is? It's my cousin 'Butch' and he looks dopey like this all the time."

P: "He's de bad guy--they call him One-Eye Pete--and is he bad--Madonna!" P: "Here's how your stomach feels when you ride in one of them [rollercoaster] cars."

P: "She changed her mind about eating bananas--that's why she's bad." P: "Don't you wish you lived in the country? I wish we could."
