WORK OF THE CAMERA
The Annual Exhibit at the
Corcoran Gallery.
A NOTABLE DISPLAY
CAPITAL CLUB SURPRISES ALL
PREVIOUS ACHIEVEMENTS
Photography Has Now Become an Art
ALI Judges Were Distin-
guished Artists.

Half dozen young men have been at
work evening after evening for over fort
night in rooms back of No. zoos F street
northwest. None of them could possibly
obtain any remuneration for their services
and few of them saw ahead any personal
glory. But they worked diligently and
faithfully. and the eleventh annual exhibit
tiOn of the Capital Camera Club, which
opens at the Corcoran Gallery next Mon
day night, IS the result. The long rows of
photographs hung on the walls of the hemi
cycle of the COrcoran Gallery are reward
enough for the young men indicated-the
officers of the Capital Camera Club That
they will prove equally gratifying to every
one interested in beautiful nature pictures
fine figure studies and ingenious manpula-
tions of the camera will be proven by even
the briefest visit to the exhibit
Photography and art have long been re-
garded as divorced. There We're open to

whole Storytelling to Pasture" Another,

The Clubs Organization.
This exhibit rounds out the eleventh year
of the Capital Camera Club. 1t began hum
bly-there were but nine members at the
start-and was rather cooperative as
ISOLATION than a club. Today it includes
100 members, conducts a notable exhibit
every year offers young and inexperienced
workers the benefit of competent tutela ge
and maintains a gallery with the most COM
plete accessories, developing rooms and
printing appliances. These latter-day ac-
commodations are due very largely 10 the
active interest Of DR.. John Walter who
built the present studio in 1898 according
to plans suggested by the clubmen, and
made it part of the Walter building at
No zoos F street.
No one of the nine charter members re-
mains actively in the club. Mr.. Fairman
is the senior member, with a service of
ten years, and is closely followed by Mr..
Wallace c. Babcock. Miss Rebecca L.
Webster, who joined in 1894, is the senior

| class This is Nine. Emma de Zsulavsky,
| an amateur who has worked out all the
| problems of her career as a photographer
| without any of the costly appliances which
| form part of the usual atelier. She has had
five pictures accepted, some of which COM
| pare In every way with the black and white
| reproductions of paintings by the best
modern artists. The first of these is "A
Fairy Tale" a genre study of a boy with a
| book. Then comes THE Violinist' a pic
| ture fairly redolent with the Whistler
| spirit. She has photographed young boy
| with a garland over his brow and Greek
| pipes in his lips so that the effect suggests
Alma Ta1ema. And her other accepted
| pictures are admirable studies of young
| girls The pleasure of the club officials in
| the excellence of this work and their frank
disregard of her non-membership speak
| volumes for their disnterested devotion to
| artistic standards.
| Evening Star Mary" a street character
as familiar as the treasury building to
| every one who passes back and forth on
member of the club, one of his finest sub

detail of her head, even to its poise on her
| shoulders, but no photograph or painting
could reproduce the oleaginous roll of her
'Avenin' Paapers, Sor?" Mr.. Babcock's
other picture in the class special is "A

growth. With color it would be the finest
part of the view.
A Wide Variety of Subjects.
A picture entitled Sorrow" and submitted
by Miss Julia Bullock, a member of the
club is an interesting study in costuming.
The face is of a woman, half hidden by

that of an original, fanciful painting.

the painter, a free choice of details, an In
dependent adjustment of his subject. a free
dom from the embarrassment of diSdSSOCia-
lions and an expression of self which kept
the photographer at a distance and rele
gated his activity to an admitted lower
plane But of late years this has changed.
With improved lenses have come new pro-
cesSeS Of development. The Photographer
can now achieve either the hard features
of a character drawing or the hazy SHIN
merlng evaueSc6nCe of early morning
landscape, as he chooses When he has
obtained a negative he can. furt hermOre,
go over il and very nearly approach the
painter in choosing some details for en-
phasis and others for obliteration. In
other words the days when photograph
was necessarily rigid and stiff have gone.
An art effect as exalted as that of Daubig-
ny or CorOt is now the Photographic idea.
The past ten years have made photograph
ers embryo artists. and have lifted their
work TO plane very near that of the
painter
Have Burned Their Bridges.
As this change has progressed there have
of course. been workmen to whom the
Photographic process was worth more than
the result. In consequence many camera
exhibits have embraced pictures in which
only the professional photographer could
find interest and wherein the awards were
cOmprehendable only TO members of the
club. But this year marks for Washington
a complete emancipation from this old
standard Hereafter local exhibits of pho
tographs will be based results aIone-the
Capital Camera Club has burned its bridges
behind It.
To clinch their devotion to art results the
members of the club created several weeks
ago the following jury of selection and

Washington Artists, chairman; Hobart

From Punch.
The epitome of travel
Is to worry, yawn and cavil
AT the boredom of the journey all the day.
And in almost every region
There are pretty near legion
OF devices for distraction on the way
Tourists of foreign nation
Have their ''cars of observation
To compel them from the shelter Of their rugs
But the happy, happy Briton
The expedient has hit
OF enjoying an analysis Of drugs
For an advertising frolic
Shows the terrors of the collie
And Its cure upon the summit Of a hill,
Or conceals a lovely river
With remedy for liver,
AND the merits of 1iniment pin.
Now, I'd like to preach sermon
On the methods of the German
As evinced upon the Rhine and the Moselle;

We should find that were gifted
With little bit Of scenery as well.

Panegyric on a tonic,
Decorate the sweet security Of streets,
Leaving Nature, quite unaided,
For the seedy and the faded
In her solitude's unspeakable retreats.
