Thursday—-The Making of exh the They ual cxhibj Washington vesterday, 2 viewed water e ert, whi itions have opened in Corcoran Gallery of Art. £l the thirty-second on of the Society of ists. which opencd has already been re- ength; an exhibition of urs by Marius Hubert-Rob- h ix set furth under the joint Patronage of the French and Belgian «mbass nd an cxhibition of Japa- e3¢ prints, lent by a local wWho prefers, however, to remain anonymous. % % ior collector, HE exhibition of water colors by the French artist interestingly follows directly on the heels of an exhibition of paintings In the same medium by an English artist. Though likewise interpreting themes of i herent beauty, there ls great dissimi- larity in the manner of rendering. Mr. Hubert-Robert has made a specialty of gardens and chateaux of France, And some of the most interesting of his pictures In the present exhibition were painted. and pictorlally inter- pret scenes at Versailles. In one in- Aance he shows the famous palace. Bathed in the ruddy light of the se ting sun. Marle Antoinette's pl: armhouse,” set 80 Dicturesquely &xmong the trees, is shown with great charm, flooded with moonlight. There are pictures of the fountains playing | and of the long, cathedral-like avenue of trees. Some of the pictures have Dbeen lent by royal personages, others by members of the nobllity. Mr. Hubert-Robert was appointed painter in the French army during the war. The French government twice al- lowed him to exhibit his paintings of the destroyed parts of France in the Luxembourg, and purchased one of his plctures for the state gallerles. He has come to this country avowedly tu aint scenes of America that the ench psusle shall become better ac- guainted with the beauty of our coun- try. P HE Japanese prints, which are shown in the cases at the head of the stalrway and In the southwest gallery, are of rare qual- ity and a high order of merlt, and to students and art lovers their exhi- bition at this time cannot fall to prove of extraordinary Interest and Jalue. Some of the leading print- makers of Japan are represented, and in each instance the print shown is as nearly perfect as one can expect to! find. Modern art has been cxceedingly iabuenced by, the printmakers of Japan, but it *has departed far from; the example which they set. It Is} well, therefore, to have this oppor- tuniiy to see how gracious and beau- tiful their art was and to come inj touch intimately with the influence at its source. Each print in this col- fection has been passed upon by & Jeading expert (not the owner), and has been chosen as of superiative sherit. It is impossible, in a briet note, to deal with the individual ex- Tibits, for in almost every case the artists represented are of high rlnkl and possess marked individuality. One trait in common they do, how- gver, display, and that s a marvellous mastery of iine. Also, note may be niade of the fact that these print- makers were keenly sensitive to Yeauty of color and pattern in design. Henee it is that their works, without exception, are decorative. The prints in the cases are merely matted, but w in the little gallery are ull framed, and to beautifully have they Been hung that the room itself is a dccorative unit. AN exhibition of pictorial photo- graphs lent by Alexander Keig- ey, fellow of the Royal Photographic| Society of England, is now being shown In the Arts and Industries DBuilding, United States National Mu- | geum, where they will be on view ntil February 28. This eollection omprises about sixty-five prints, the vork of one of the leading British; ictorialists. They are extremely in- resting in subject and very beauti- fully rendered. Many interpret the il- jugions of light and air. All show ex- cellegt massing of light and shade and ot 8 few are essentially poetic in feeling. Photographs of this type are quite as much to be regarded as Works of art us though the camera, A mechanical device, had mot been used as the medium of expression. Announcement is made that a col- Jeotion of seventy-six photographic prints lent by the Pictorial Photog- yaphers of America, will follow this exhibition in the same gallery on March 15. 4 VERY remarkable series of paint- +% ings of American humming birds has been made by Frank Bond of the Department of the Interior, who 18 well known as an ornithologist. Mr. Bond has painted each of the seven- tcen varleties of humming birds known in the United States, with sci- entific wcouracy and extraordinary artistic skill, using the skins a models and reproducing even the ir- ridescent effect of their feathers. And he has given each bird a pictorial background indicative of that part of the country in which it is found. These paintings, in water color, must Le of great scientific value, but they are also of plotorial interest and ar- tistio merit—illustrations of a sort which were more commonly made fifty years ago than now. And more's the pity’ One of the most success- ful of these pictures is of one of our own humming birds, seen surrounded by the flowers and foliage of the trumpet creeper. In not a few of his {llustrations he has introduced flow- ors which repeat in color the bril- wancy of the bird's foliage.

With certaln modifications, the board of charities yesterday made a fa- vorable report to Commissioner Ru- dolph on the bill to provide for a system of paroling prisoners in the District.

It is provided that after the pass age of the act the District jail shall be used only as & place of détention for persons accused of crime, per- sons committed for contempt or held as_witnesses and for persons sen- temwed to serve thirty days or less. All others would be transferred by the Commissioners to the reforma- tory or to the workhouse. Penalty for Escapes. An important change recommended by the board of charities is the sec- tion fixing a penalty of from one to five years for any prisoner con- victed of escaping or attempting to escape from a penal institution. In his report to the city heads, John Joy Edson, president of the board of charfgles, stated that state laws ntain such a provision, but, for some reason, there has been no pen- alty provided for such an offense in the District. Sectfon 8 of the bill provides that * * whenever it shall appear to the board of parole, from the reports of the prisoner's work and conduct which may be received in accordance with the rules and regulations pre- soribed, and from the study and ex- amination made by the board itself, that any prisoner is fitted by his training for gelease, that there is a reasonable probability that such a prisoner will live and remain at lib- erty without violating the laws, and, in the apinion of the board, such re- | lease is not incompatible with the welfare of society, sald board of pa- role may, In its discretion, authorize and release such prisoner on parol any time after the expiration of the minimum &nd before the expiration of the maximum sentence, provided he has served not less than six months of his sentence.” Viclation Means Returm. ‘Whenever the board of parole shall receive information that a prisoner has violated the terms of his parole he shall be returned to complete the sentence. In a statement to the Commission- ers, the board of charities outlined the amendments it advocates as fol- ows: . “The industrial and psychiatric fea- tures of the bill have been stricken out. Although these provisions are essentlal to the said penal system, it is belleved best that they be intro- duced as separate measures, leaving for the consideration of Congress at this time only the establishment of the penal system. “The indeterminate sentence feature has been changed to parole with def- inite limits, “The provisions for the members of the parole board are amended so that they are to serve without compensa- tion, instead of $1,000 per annum as proposed. “One parole officer is recommended instead of three, and that he shall also act as secretary to the board. “It provides that the members of the parole board shall be appointed by the commissioners of bona fide residents of the District of Columbia, instead of requiring one to be ap- 1508 H STREET N.W.
