BY LEILA MECHLIN. |2 T an informal meeting held las Sunday evening at the studio | of Mr, and Mrs. H. K. Bush-| Brown the MacDowell Societ of Washington was organized purpC of this society are: . to foster the appreciation and spread the influence of the works of Edward MacDowell, the noted Amer- ican composer; second, to give one or more concerts every year primarily to MacDowell's work, but secondarlly to that of other American composers: third, to increase member- ship in the MacDowell Association and League, and to secure additional support for the MacDowell colony at Peterborough, N. H., which is main- | tained solely for the advancement of all the fine arts and is reckoned a | national “asset in civilization. The organization is to have a secretary, treasurer and an executive com- mittee, but only the latter seem to have been chosen at the organization | meeting. This committee Is composed | as follows: Carl Engel. chief of the division of music of the Library of Congress; ldward H. Droop. Mrs Walter Bruce Howe, Mrs. Kugene Byrnes and H. K. Bush-Brown. Mrs. Helen Corbin Heinl was appointed chairman of the committee on enter- talument and program There are MacDowell societies with similar aims in other cities, and there numerous members of the Mac- Dowell Associa here in Washington. It among these primarily that membership for the local chapter will be recruited. But MacDowell colony at ter- ough. N. I is for painters ind sculptors, as well as musiclans \d writers, is at the present time making a vallant effort to secure adequate endowment, and the Wash- | ington society will undoubtedly give what support it can to this movement As one not know, the cDowell colony at Peterborough established on the place where the last fow vears of his life this brilliant American composer had his home, where at the end of a life full of difficultics he found that haven of | cace for which his soul had long yearned. He belleved firmly that the could not put forth his or her best effort in the midst of squalor or in the face of fierce strug gle to maintain life. He also strongly advocated the correlation of the arts, the meeting together in social inter- course of those who were working In different flelds, or, more properly, dif- ferent sections of the eame great field of art. His beneficent dream for others has found realization in the Petorborough colohy established by his widow, who was one of his pupils and carried on under her direction nostly through her own heroic effort through the aid of friends not only MacDowell's, but of music, paint- ing, sculpture, poetry and the dram those who find in these arts thelr greatest Splendid property the association. Hereon, woods, studios have been the use of the resident Among these is the John W. Alexan- der memorial studio, erected by Mrs Alexander.

Russell of Montana, who is populariy known as | the “cow-boy artist.” Mr. Russell was born in St. Louis, but has lived for | some time in Montana and has sp dlized in pictures and scenery of Western 1ife, which he has not only known at first hand, but been a part of. At the same time that the Russell exhibition opens two groups of etch- ings by etchers who have mot pr. viously exhibited in Washington will be put on view. These etchers are Power O'Malley, an American, who has lived for some time abroad and whose works have lately been shown in one of the leading gallerles in New York, creating favorable note, and Murco Zim, who has also won distinction by his work In this me- dium During the month of March the So- clety of Washington Artists will hold their annual exhibition in the semi- circular special exhibition gallery at | the Corcoran Gallery of Art; and in | April speclal exhibitions of the Works of Zorn, the great Swedish = = * | witltam | vears THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON D.

AT the Vandyck Galleries, 1611 Con- necticut avenue, there is now on view a collection of portraits by Artur Halmi, an Austrlan artist, who for some time now has had a tudio in New York. Mr. Halmi is primarily painter of youth and fashion. His portraits in pastels are entially of a popular sort—pretty and characterless in most instance But that he has had tralning in £o0od school and Is a talented artist is manifest in an sional ofl, more especially in two studies heads of peusants—simpls peosie, that re incidentully included in this col | lection. The: re done in the best| tradition of the Munich school and recall the noble works of Leibel and | our own Duveneck. From the ar tistic standpoint, Mr. Halmi paints| men better than women, and his por- | trait in this ibition of Marion | ppley is genuinely good. So, also | 1s a child portrait of a boy, “Willie,” | and a sketch portrait of the artist's little daughter, a charming child.
