Sidney West, 14th & G Sts. Dr. Abbot and Others Par- ticipate in Ceremonies \ at Museum. BY FLORENCE S. BERRYMAN. An exhibition of cotemporary Hun- | garian art was opened yesterday after- noon in the National Gallery, United States National Museum, with appro- priate ceremony. Dr. C. C. Abbot, sec- |retary of the Smithsonian, expressed | pleasure and appreciation, on the part of the institution, the museum and the National Gallery, of the privilege of showing the collection. Count Szech- enyl, Minister from Hungary to lhn United States, responded, stressing the fact that such an interchange of art between nations broadened sympathies and increased understanding _and thanked the National Gallery, the Hun- garian Foundation and the American Federation of Arts for making this ex- hibition possible. A brief concluding address was made by George W. Wick- ersham, Tepresenting the American Hungarian Foundation, after which the exhibition was formally declared open, and those in attendance were invited to inspect the exhibits. Although individual Hungarian artists have sojourned in the United States | frequently enough for us to become ac- | quainted with their mmcu]u work, the creative production of Im"u'y (and, indeed, most phases of the life of that nation) Is little known to us, com- pared with that of Great Britain, France and Italy.
