Local lovers of art and society IL
general had a rare opportunity givel
them last Thursday evening at th'
University Club of viewing the recen
works of Mr.. D. Howard Hitchcock
Fortv canvasses and three copper
slate etchings were on the waits am
the wide range of subjects as well a:
she versatility displayed in their haho'
ing were a revelation not only to the
public but to those friends OF the
artist who have watched his CROWN
during the past ten years. From origh'
midsummer in the tropics 10 ouil
xintery New Jersey, from sunshine u
Kona weather, from twilight to moon
ugh, from local bits in soft grays to
ais supurb picture of kilauea IN acton
the artist is equally at home, equally
true to nature.
VERY few of the worlds famous
landscape painters have shown sucn
mastery of the whole gamut OF Color
QfYoctS. Many nave SpCSidiANSA
Won their spurs in their special lnes'
only to be lost when they departed
from them, but our kamaaina painter
has grasped them all.
No other artist has ever pictured our
Island scenery as faithfully as Mr..
Hitchcock. His Sphinx Of the Pacific"
and Where the Trade Winds Blow
.how the Hawaiian atmosphere to per-
orfi
tainted Kflauea as he has. His first
number in the exhibition, ION the Floor
af the Volcano" could only have been
painted by one who is familiar with
Pele in all her moods. by one who was
born and brought up on the slopes OF
Mauna LOa.
The influence of his recent study IN
the art centers of the United States
are seen in his moonlight pictures. in
an impressive painting of ponciana
regia in bloom, pitched in low tone
and in his sketches on the Hudson.
Between three and four hundred club
members and guests attended the ex-
hibition Thursday evening and con-
verted it into social event.

Despite the recent news that Queen
Dowager Margherita of Italy may
shange her plans to go to the United
States by way of London, instead of
by way of Japan, there is some likeli-
hood that Honolulu will receive a visit
from Her Majesty. Mrs. Martin is pre-
pairing to entertain the Queen in San
Francisco and will probably give one
ef her famous receptions, for. although
it is semi officially decided that Her
Majesty will not be the guest of a /
private family, it is said she will be
pleased to be rendered a reception by
American ladies. If the war in the
Far East is over when the Queen |
leaves Italy, she will arrive in the |
United states via the Golden Gate and |
Honolulu. She will be met at San |

Queen Margherita is the widow OF /
