The Rival Artists (1911)
Just how Dudley Warwick had achieved his reputation, his fellow artists were at a loss to understand. With Bruce Webster it was quite the opposite. The few who really knew unanimously declared his work to be that of a genius. However, should his picture of Judge Wilson's daughter Millie, meet with approval, his recognition would be assured. Judge Wilson, after seeing the finished portrait, agreed with Millie that it is superb. However, Artist Warwick pronounced it inferior, and sent her an oil painting which was generally conceded to be his best. It pleased Judge Wilson, but not his daughter, who decided to have various critics' opinions on the painting. In the meantime, Mille hurried to Bruce's studio and induced him to substitute a painting of his in place of Warwick's. In due time the critics arrived, and greatly to the satisfaction of Bruce and Millie, and the intense astonishment of Judge Wilson, declared that never before had they realized the really great genius of their friend Warwick (for the names had been painted out). They were unanimous in pronouncing it inferior. They were pointing out its defects as Dudley Warwick appeared. Instantly they appealed to him to uphold their opinion, and he turned to cast a careless glance at the condemned landscape, but stopped in amazement. It was his painting that they were daring to criticize in this manner. In vain did his friends attempt to excuse their blunder; the great Warwick rushes angrily from the room, while Judge Wilson, as he came forward to congratulate his future son-in-law, expressing his opinion of them in no uncertain manner.
