The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1900-11-17

THREE WEEKS ago the outlook
for the Kilohana Art Leagues ex-
u hibition was most brilliant. Much
work had been promised and it was
hoped and expected that the Fall gall
lery would be the best yet. But at the
rate the work is coming in there will
be disappointment. Yesterday was
hanging day and the dilatory artists
entering later will find the choice places
occupied, or else occasion an entire re-
arrangement of the large canvasses.
1t is especially requested that all re-
naming work be sent in to-day.
Mrs. Kelly has entered one of her lei
watercolors. 1t represents an lima lei
tumbling in pleasing confusion from
out a calabash. The coioring is good,
and the motive strong. The sunlight
falling upon the lei has brought out it's
gradations of light, ranging from
deep orange to pale yellow. The ar
rangement Of brownish green as a
background is most effective. The tiny
study of the Pail is simpler in scheme.
In fact, it is more in the nature of
sketch. But the conception is good. 1t
is the Pail as seen from distance, in
the half shadow of the afternoon
shades.
Ginger" is another effective flower
piece, and THE Evening Meal is a
good and pleasing bit Of realistic work,
showing an old Hawaiian woman eat
ing poi The tones are pure.
May H. Rothwell has a canvas show
inc inc It 10 a
promising landscape; a flower piece,
Natures Profusion," is pleasing.
Helen v. Johnson comes to the front
with a monochrome in cobalt blues
that bears the title of Clouds" 1t is
rather a weird conception. She also
shows a panel of "Chrysanthemums."
and Tone Study"
"A Portrait" is shown by Mrs. Kate
Wells. Mrs. Wells has promising flu
thre.
Mrs. Pond presents a woodland scene
Which has some pretty tones.
Mrs. Sarah B. Smith has a portrait
Of Mr.. Hathaway-the head only
which displays talent.
| Mrs. Malony's THE POOL and an
Hawaiian Study" will meet with
favor.
tRebecca Hall Thompson's Manages"
il a rather vivid bit Of work.
Miss Nettie King, the well known
San Francisco artist, will exhibit,
among other things, several miniatures.
The one of Professor lie Conte Of
Berkeley. will draw about it many adj
mirers. Two of her mother are equally
fine. One represents Mrs. King in the
first flush of early girlhood, and the
other as she now appears. in dignified
matronhood. Miss King will also show
some pieces of china; notably one enti-
tied an Ideal Head"
Mr.. Mott-Smith's painting, Sad
News" will be center of attraction.
The Mirror" will draw a crowd about
it. Among Mr.. Mott-Smith's work
shown will be the following: Portrait
of Judge Judd" two-thirds length.
The picture represents the late eminent
jurist in his library. his flowing silk
cloak over his shoulders. THE Duet"
THE Monk" a portrait of himself, AN
Italian Town." Evening Effects over
Diamond Head" Evening over Ma
noa," Sketch of Mr.. Mott-Smith, Sen
ior." which is more especially color
scheme; "Girl Mending Nets" and
seven other canvases, representing five
sdifferent sunsets from Waikiki beach.
Mr.. Hitchcock's volcano scene, XII
Sauea," shows the touch for which he
Is known. His familiarity with his
subject has enabled him to produce
yividness and a blending of tones that
is fetching. Mr.. Hitchcock has also en-
ftered the following paintings: A
marine, Near Pearl City" "A Marine
Storm at Kaneohe;" two landscapes,
Island scenes; Fishing ''Koloa,' an
other marine; three other landscapes,
AT Koloa,' a sketch on Cocoanut Is
land; "A Distant Rain Storm" Sun
set" THE Cloud" "A Hilo Forest
Scene" "A Hillock," and several other
characteristic canvases. He has two
portraits, Judge Judd and DR.. Sloggett.
E. Pond has a landscape, a very eff
fective bit of work; and Philip Dodge
has landscape, THE Custom House,"
at Monterey. California. 1t is bright
bit of work.
Mrs. Marshall deeply regrets her ina
pility to enter work this season. Her
