Continued from Fifteenth Page Mrs. O'Hara’s father, Herbert Putnam, in his O street home. An exhibition of Mr. O'Hara’'s water colors was, it will be remembered, held at the Dunthorne Gallery last Spring, arousing much interest and favorable comment. A col- lection of Mr. O’Hara's water colors painted in Russia was circulated for more than a season among the leading art museums and associa- tions by the American Federaticn of Arts. Mr. O'Hara has also exhibited with the Washing- ton Water Color Club and other professional groups. HE Amcrican Academy in Rome announces from its New York office an exhibition of work by returning fellows to be held at the Architectural League, 115 East Fortieth street, New York, from November 14 to 28, inclusive. This will include work executed in the academy during the last three years by Cecil C. Briggs, fellow in architecture; Donald M. Mattison, fellow in paintirg, and David K. Rubins, fellow in sculpture. The American Academy in Rome is char- tered by Congress. Charles A. Platt, architect of the Freer Gallery of Art in this city, is president; George B. McClellan, first vice presi- dent; C. Grant LeParge, secretary, and Gorham Phillips Stevens, director of the academy in residence. VER 500~paintings by artists of 15 Euro- pean nations and the United States are included in the Carnegie Institute’s inter- national exhibition which opened in Pitts- burgh. Approximately 300 of these paint- ings are by foreigners and approximately 200 are by painters of the United States. It is interesting to know that this year, for the first time, the highest award went not only to an American artist but to one whose work found entrance through the jury of admission rather than through invitation. The fortunate painter was Franklin C. Watkins of Philadel- phia. The prize-winning painting, rather lugubrious in subject, is entitled “Suicide in Costume.” For this the painter received $1,500, the amount of first prize, and $2,000, the Lehman prize, a purchase fund contributed by a public-spirited industrialist of Pittsburgh. ‘The second prize went to a painting, “Fisher- men,” by Mario Cirone, an Italian of Milan, and trh~ third prize to a Frenchman, Raoul Dufy, for a painting, “Avenue in the Bois de Boulogne.” Two honorable mentions, one carry- ing a cash prize of $300, went to American citizens—Judson Smith for “A Deserted Mill,” and Yasuo Kuniyoshi (a naturalized citizen) for a still life; while Andrew Dasburg of Santa Fe received the Allegheny County Garden Club prize for a flower painting, “Bouquet.” This is the on¢ general international exhibi- tion held in this country, the one oppcrtunity that American ¢itists have for judging their sirength in cors etition with the leading artists of Europe and for art lovers to become ac- quainted with the best output of contemporary foreign artists. The foreign section, after the close of the exhibition in Pittsburgh in Decem- ber, will be shown in Baltimore, at the Balti- more Museum of Art, January 4 to February 15, and in St. Louis, at the City Art Museum, March 7 to April 18. UTH THOMAS, who is a native Washing- tonian and a former student of the Cor- coran School of Art, & holding an exhibition of her portrait drawings in the Argent Galleries, New York, under the auspices of the National Association of Women Painters and Sculptors, included in which is a drawing of Miska Mer- son, Hungarian pianist and composer, who has made his home in Washington for a number of years. Miss Thomas comes of a Navy family, both her father and grandfather having been admi- rals. She studied not only at the Corcoran School but under Albert Sterner in New York, and John Elliott and Helena Sturtevant in New- port, R. I, and, lastly, under Cecilia Beaux in New York. She is a good draftsman and in- terprets likeness sympathetically. AN Hungarian portrait painter, Rudolphe Kiss, has arrived in Washington and opened a studio at the Hotel Mayflower. Mr. Kiss announces himself as a pupil of Philip de Laszlo, as well as other European masters. He has been for five years in South America and comes to Washington via California, where he painted, among others, a portrait of Mrs. Wil liam Gibbs McAdoo, formerly Eleanor Wilson. 128.

Not good for the present nor for the future, whether this “good” be of a practical nature or of the feelings and senti- ments that back movements and determine courses. For such rememberings the story is first support. These seize upon interest as no school book can do, and sustain it as no spe- cial commemorative occasion can. And right here is another story by Miss Johnston of the early days when America was a wilderness and not the vast industrial concern that it is today. The woods, rather the impenetrable- forest, is the field of the adventure in hand. An Indian youth and a young white man meet in hostility over a matter of vital moment to each. A theme of simple outline, calling for open, uninvolved treatment. It gets just that. It is a short story besides. Yet, by way of it the whole of early America is embodied. The great wilderness, the native and the white man in enmity toward each other, the wild life of the Indian and the new life of the settler, much of that which each took on from the other, d vistas opened through which faint visions of the future gleamed—it is all here in this author's under- standing and picturesque way with the early days of our America. A love story of high chivalry gives focus to the general pattern of the whole and, of course, adds the element that every story must possess in order to be a story at all. Quite in character is this tale of pioneer days by an author who has already done much to keep those days alive in the heart of America itself. Nezws in Local Musical Circles day night at the Arts Club by Minna - RECITAL at which Hans Kindler will be guest of honor is to be given Thurs- Niemann, pianist, and Clelia Fiorvanti.
