A—6 PUBLICTO IUDGE AT EAHBITION Will Determine Most Popu- lar Picture at Corcoran Art Gallery. ‘The general public will have an op- portunity to express itself regarding modern American art this week in a referendum to determine the most popular picture in the Fifteenth Bi- ennial Exhibition of Contemporary American Oil Paintings at the Cor- coran Gallery of Art. The artist whose painting receives the most votes from the public will be awarded a $200 “popular prize” by the gallery, it was announced by C. Powell Minnigerode, director. Every visitor to the exhibition from Monday through Sunday will be given & ballot on which to mark his choice for the prize. The winner will be announced early next week. 7 Experience has shown that the pop- ular prize never goes to a picture adjudged as best by the official jury of art experts. The public invariably chooses a picture with a “pleasing pubject,” while the art experts take into consideration many technical de- tails overlooked by the layman. The official jury selected two land- scapes, a figure study and a portrait for the $5,000 W. A. Clark prizes and the Corcoran awards. Edward Hop- per's “Cape Cod Afternoon” won first Yrize, Guy Pene du Bois’ “Meditation” was second, Francis Speight's “Box- holder No. 27" was third and Bernard XKeyes' “Snakey” was fourth The exhibition will continue through May 9.

Capital Flyers to Hunt Fox With Flour Bags and Camera/ Armed with small sacks of flour and cameras, pilot members of the Wash- ington Air Derby Association will set out from College Park Airport at 1:30 pm. today to hunt an “aerial fox.”| The hunt, arranged as the April flying event of the association, has a number of novel features. Three prizes will be awarded. The pilot taking the part of the fox will be given a 20-minute start and may land anywhere within a radius of 10 miles from College Park. Hunters, each carrying a sack of flour tagged with the pilot's name, will take off in the order of estimated airplane speed, slowest first. If any hunter locates the airplane of the fox THE SUNDAY STAR, —Star Staff Photo. he may drop his flour bomb from an altitude of not less than 100 feet. Shots dropping nearest to the fox will determine the winners. If no hunter has located the fox within 30 minutes, however, the vilot of the fox airplane is privileged to make a dash for home, at College Park Airport. Any hunter who is able to | overtake the fox in flight and make | & close-up photograph and then drop | his flour sack within the fenced in- | closure of the association’s club house will be eligible for a prize. Should all the hunters fail, prizes go to the fox. The hunt will be flown under the | supervision of J. Earl Steinhauer, president of the association.
