This Week’s Cover
- When business comes to Chicago, the Post’s Art Editor, to study a year ago he sent our artist, John Falter, as an art editorialist. But he never there. On a Michigan Avenue corner near the Art Institute he saw a group of sailors gathered to observe the Chicago girls, as they strolled for propriety against the famous Chicago wind. Mr. Stuart joined this gallery, and was so impressed with the scene that he mentioned it, as one would love to another editor. Falter, the art editor, learned it from Stuart, and he decided to paint a typical windy day there, but found a corner he thought was rather than it gets on Michigan Avenue. Falter chose a location farther west—one corner of the Civic Opera House, where the wind blows down the Chicago River and gets a chance to work up real speed. Chicagoans probably agree with Stuart that the windier where he was, but will agree with Stuart that the wind is windier on Michigan Avenue.
