At ART CLUB
Interesting Lecture by John La
Fargo, the Noted Artist.

Mr. John La Fargo. of New York, the
eminent American artist and by many
conceded to be the greatest painter and
coiorist In America, was the guest and
speaker at the Providence Art club last
evening. The occasion WAS -he regular

and cultivated audience was present.
Mr.. IaFarge is not only known as a

out America.
Some OF his best work in this line is In

expressed himself as surprised and de-
lighted with what Providence had done
for art. He then announced that he had
decided TO talk to his hearers on Oriental
art. specifically Japanese art. He then
confined himself principally to an auto
biography, recently published by the
Japanese director OF the art school in
Toxic. Japan, which gives the story of
Kusai. a noted Japanese artist who died
about .en years ago. Mr.. LaFarge relat-
ed this story I'm a leisurely fashion inter-
spersing the same with many anecdotes,
which served TO Illustrate certain phases
OF Japanese are.
In brief. he told the story Of Kussis
artistic career from the early age Of
three years down to the time OF his
death.
A number OF interesting and amusing
stories were told TO illustrate the inten-
sity OF Kusars love for art, manifested
from his earliest years. At the close OF
the address the company descended to
the grill rooms below, where the usual
Bohemian feast OF beer. sandwiches.
