Notes of Art and ArtiStS =g g ContinuedFrom Fourteenth Page of the painter. Twenty-five canvases are in- door; two flower studies by Marion Hawthorne, able attention. Designs for mural panels by dation has been on view. In connection with cluded in this showing, three of which are of consider.ble size and certainly outstanding. These are a landscape, “Early Spring i1 Glover Park,” very sensitively rendered, and two ex- tremely decorative pictures of white heron and ducks, respectively, painted with ad- mirable * breadth and vigor—works which are unique in character and would take their place in any collection—large, strong, bold and ex- tremely well finished, an astounding contrast to the exquisite little etchings by which Mr, Moore is represented in the new Miniature Society’s exhibition at the Corcoran Gallery. For the most part the paintings included in Phe Arts Club showing are local themes. The snajority are Winter landscape subjects, and in almost every instance it seems apparent that the Wist's purpose was to interpret a time pf day, early morning, late afternoon, or a time of year, “February Morning,~ “March Sunset,” “Autumn, Waterford, Virginia,” “Late November.” But there is no subtlety in Mr. Moore’s work., It is definite, positive, obvious. And yet his etchings have this rather precious Quality. T HE reception room at the Arts Glub is given i over to a group showing of works by a pumber of New York woman artists, including two excellent paintings by Gladys Brannigan, formerly of this city; two charming and very different figure compositions by Rachel Hart- ey, one of Negro children in front of a cabin “MEXICO ELL all I know is just what I read in the papers, or what I see as I flit from limb to limb. Couple of weeks ago I had a great trip down to Mexico City. That is A Town. I like Mex- fcan towns and Mexican people, they move just about fast enough to suit me. But I don't know, they are likable anyhow, they all got humor, and as for hospitality, well, you haven’t seen any till you see them. Hal Roach the comedy movie director, who imakes all the funny pictures, and is responsi- ble for the team of comedanis, Laurel and Hardy, you know they are the favorities with many movie folks, as well as the audiences, well Hal, and Eric Pedley the polo player, who played on our international team against England the last time, and he made more goals $tnglehanded than all of England combined, well he is a wonderful alhlete, was the cham- pion boxer of his -division during the war, reat tennis player, golf, anything, and a fine gellmv\_with it. We were in Hals private plane, ilofed by Capt. Jimmy Dickson, who has cov- ed this country frvm more different angles than anybody. and two children’s portraits by Margery Ry- erson, not to mention all. This exhibition of works by “Gotham Painters” continues to De- cember 20. UCH interest is being shown in the Wash- ington Water Color Club’s Thirty-sixth Annual exhibition, which opened 10 days ago at the Corcoran Gallery of Art, and several sales have been made. The consensus of opinion is that the club has shown no more interesting or meritorious exhibition for years than this. Certainly it is both extremely varied and upheld to a high standard. The pat- ronage of local artists is perhaps the surest way of creating a local art center, for, as Ed- ward Arlington Robinson once said, “The artist must have his opportunity or he will die and his art will perish with him.” With- out the artist there would be no art. Wash- ington water colorists have for many years now stood with the best. The current exhi- bition proves the rule. T Howard University an exhibition of draw- ings, photographs and architectural ren- derings, the work of 17 leading architectural firms of Philadelphia, is now on view. This exhibition, which was assembled by a commit- tee of the Philadelphia Chapter of the Amer- ican Institute of Architects, is being circu- lated by the American Federation of Arts, and wherever shown has called forth much favor- Well, the four of us lit out. We bid our wives goodbye at the airport at 5 in the morning. That’s beforc daylight. Now that’s what I call a dutifwtwife, that will crawl out at that hour and go to the field to see your husband off for Mexico. I had kinder promised to take the women on this trip. But we got out of it in some way. Oh, yes, I think we kinder hinted that there was a revolution brewing. You see they would have had to have gone on the train. I was the fellow that was to take them down and then the other fellows fly down and meet us. It was a dandy idea and I may have to do it yet, and I will be glad to do it, for any ex- cuse that gets me down there is a good one. But I want to coripliment these wives. Now Mrs. Pedley, her husband hadn’t flown so much, and it was fine of her to let Eric go. You know wives have kinder got to get used to this flying business for their husbands. Mine is pretty well broke in. In fact, the last time I went to Oklahoma I took My Mary and Bill, jr., there and back by Hal's plane, My wife makes short trips, but not any trans- continental ones. We hit the line and crossed into Mexico at Douglas, Ariz., and if you want to see courtesy why their authorities sure Elizabeth Shippen Green Elliot, Huger El- liott and others add color to the exhibit, Among other outstanding works are the Rodin Museum on the Parkway, Philadelphia, de- signed by Paul P. Cret, architect of the Folger Library in this city; the irst Central Pres- byterian Church of Wilmington, designed by Brown and Whiteside in pure Colonial style, and college buildings by Charles Z. Klauder. This exhibition follows, in the Howard Uni- versity gallery, one of Persian influence, also circulated by the American Federation of Arts, which consisted of a selection of designs for textiles, rugs, jewelry, miniatures, etc., in- spired by the Persian exhibition at the Brook- lyn Museum, /A\ SPECIAL exhibition of recent paintings by Carl Knaths opened at the Phillips Me- morial Gallery last week to continue threugh th& month of December. On the evening of December 10 Will Hutch- ins gave an illustrated lecture in the Phillips Memorial Gallery on “Gilotto and Some Italian Primitives.” This will be followed next Thurs- day evening by a lecture by Mr. Hutchins on “Christian Art of the Renaissance and of To- day.” The hour is 8:15, and those desiring attendance should apply at the gallery or in writing for cards of admission. AT George Washington University during the past week an exhibition of German prints circulated by the Carl Schurz Memorial Foun- ® AND OTHER THINGS® . - showed it to us in getting permission to cross. You know this taking a plane into another country is not like driving a flivver in, there is more to it. We hit Torreon about 1,100 miles from Los Angeles, that night, hit the field after dark and had to throw out a flare. (It’s a kind of a lamp of a thing, fastened onto a silk parachute and goes down and lights up the field.) It only costs $40, so it pays to get in by daylight. That’s a very pretty, and clean, prosperous little eity. Then the next day over the mountains to Mex-= ico City. Oh, yes, I like to forgot, we, on the first day circled over the Hearst ranch (I had been down there a couple of weeks before). It's a wonderful place, one million acres, 60 thousand cattle. We would have liked to landed there, but the ground looked wet from a lot of rains. But the one great view of aviation is the sight of the valley of Mexice City, Its eight thousand feet high, and still a valley, with the old volcano of Popocatepet]! smoking nearby. It was good to see old friends who I had met on previous visits, mostly when I was there with Ambassador Morrow. Things are fine there, of course the usual hard times of all na« tions, but no more than us, or the rest, this exhibition a lecture was given on Tuesday evening in the Fine Arts Building, 2101 G street, by Miss Freida M. Burkle on “How to Make Etchings and Woodcuts.” These prints have been shown in the Academy of Fine Arts, Philadelphia, and are being circulated with the purpose of encouraging sympathéetic and understanding friendship between Germany and America. It comprises etchings, litho- graphs and wood engravings. T is a great gratification to Washingtonians, as well as to Baltlmoreans, that the Walters Gallery, through the generous bequest of its owner, has become the property of the City of Baltimore for the benefit of the public. In- cluded in Mr, Walters’ bequest was not only his entire art collection and the gallery, which he himself erected, but also the adjoining resi- dence and the gallery built by his father. He also left an endowment fund for its upkeep estimated at about two and a half million dol- lars, of which a trust fund was created. This gallery, heretofore, has been open to the public on only two days a week in January, February, March and April, when a fee was charged for admission, the returns from which went to the Baltimore poor fund. Mr. Walters in his will left one-half of his estate to the Family WelfaresAssociation of Baltimore, prob- ably to offset any loss which the openigg of the gallery to the public might incur in this direction. By Will Rogers We were asked that night to go out and call on ex-President Calles (called Ki-ess). Now there is a remarkable man, a really big man, one of the few able men during our generation. That sounds pretty windy, don't it? Well, it's true, if ever a single man kept a country in check it’s this man Calles. No dictator. Don’t want to be President again. He simply wants his country to have peace and they know he is a real patriot, and not one of those idealists. Mexico has had plenty of men that meant well, had a certain ability, but lacked the real spark and the downright nerve. I mean politi- cal nerve, and physical nerve. Well, this fellow has it. Both Roach and Pedley said they had never in their lives met a public man that any more impressed them than he did. Now Mexico don’t want any trouble, and the few that do want to make it are held in check by this man, I was pleased when I went in that he gave me the “embrazo” or embrace, where each of you put your arms over the others shoulders into a kind of pat of embrace, and it's only among particular friends. Well, I swelled up till he couldn’t hardly embrace me.
