SMALL PAINTING STOLEN AFTER THREE ATTEMPTS IN DIFFERENT CITIES Some singular attraction possessed ly a small Ml painting baa resulted In i mystery which several artists and nembers nf the Atlanta Art Association are trying to solve. After being exhibited In several cities h various parts of the country and iftcr three unsuccessful attempts had Iren made to steal It, this small paint- hit by Edward Gregory Smith, a well- inoun artist exhibiting in the art show h Atlanta has been stolen. It was painted on n piece of board ind enclosed In a small gold frame. Mr. Jre,»)ry went out to lunch Friday and eft the exhibition rooms In the Alfrlend building open, as had been the case In the past. Many people ■ visited the rooms In his absence and when he re turned he round the fourth attempt to take the picture had been successful. The frame was pulled out from the Wall and the picture had been removed. "Why anyone should steal It,” said Mr. Smith, "Is beyond my comprehen sion. It waa a small winter scene of no particular beauty and of very little Intrinsic value. It Is a picture which could hardly be sold by anyone not an artist. Why It has attracted the at tention of crooks In the past I have never been able to understand." In Chicago an effort waa once made to cut the picture from the frame, the thief thinking It was on canvas. An other time several tacks were removed from the back and the picture loosened, and another time the picture and frame were removed from the wall. The pic ture Is a small affair of five Inche.s, and could be ealsly placed In a pocket. Fri day morning It was sold and In tHe aft ernoon It was stolen. Mr. Smith says It must have seme peculiar fascination, but what he Is unable to understand. The exhibition Is under the auspices of the Art Association and tps members are trying to solve the myitery. MARTIN WILL HEAD EPWOHTH LEAGUES W. v.
