ARTISTS AND AUTHORS

Seldom can a town the size of Glen
dale claim as residents such brill
liant set of geniuses of the brush ana
pen as has fallen to this little un-
crowned queen of valley cities-but
every tone of the rising and setting
sun reflected in the dales beneath and
the hills beyond has given inspiration
to the painters brush as transferred
to canvas: it's wild flora as mirrOred
on china, or the pen points that paint
word poems in both verse and prose.
Yet in this little city of culture ana
refinement are some of the world is
noted artists First and foremost is
the eminent landscape painter, Eugene
c. Frank, and it has been the writer's
privilege to stand beside his easel
whereon is nearly completed paint
ing of the old VerdugO home beneath
its giant oaks-all so natural that one
expects to see the door open and a
Spanish don stand within the portal.
Or looking over the completed work
in the spacious studio, studies that
would win laurels in any art center
of the world.
Then in the artists colony follows
the work of James Mcneil Whistler's
accomplished student, Miss Laura

Seldom in one studio is seen really
excellent work on both canvas and
china, but in that of Mrs. Helen F.
Frazer the observer notes many
pieces attesting the artistic merit of
both.
From art to literature is but mar
row passageway and in the little
study of Capt. James NJ. Wells, whose
most recent book, "With Touch of
Elbow" chronicles many interesting
and previously unpublished narratives
of the civil war, one feels at home
with this genial, gray-ha.red captain,
whose military bearing never un-

GLENDALE PUBLIC LIBRARY

N HE eminently progressive spirit in
library matters in California is
4 manifest in Glendale, where
public library was established in 1907,
when a small library inaugurated and
maintained for two years by the Tues
day Afternoon club of Glendale was
turned over to the city. Several hun
dred books have been contributed by
interested citizens and a representa-
tive collection of standard books and
late magazines are being constantly
added The trustees aim to select a
high class of books especially for chill
dren who are developing in the public
schools a discriminating taste in the
choice of reading matter. A lot and
adequate building have been desired
and discussed and will no doubt soon
be secured Mrs. Danford, the atten-
tive librarian, whose teachers train
ing especially qualities her, is solc-
itous for the requirements of patrons

In The MUSICAL CIRCLE

Hardly can one find another town of
the same age as Glendale that can
boast of the talent and achievements of
its musicians as Glendale. Most of
these artists are well known; in fact
they have helped make Los Angeles in
the musical line one of the most envied
cities in the states.
Coming up Riverside drive we see the
beautiful home of Mr. and Mrs. Shank
both well known in musical circles.
Mrs. Shank was long director and solo
st at Emmanuel Presbyterian church.
She has been succeeded in her church
position by another well known teacher
and soloist, Mrs. Norma Rockhold Rob
bins, who is the owner of a most pic
turesque home on Lomita Park avenue.
Another who has helped to earn the
name of artists row" for Lomita Park
avenue is Harry Gerard, well known
composer, manager and director of
opera. More could be said of him were
it not that his ability and achieve
ments have already won him great
popularity and renown.
These are but a few of those for
whom Glendale has its attractions, and
a more Congenial place could not be
found for music lovers, for here we
find the combination of the art in ma
ture with the art in man.
There are many who devote their
time to the home field and have
achieved success. One of those of
longest standing is Miss Ina Whitaker.
graduated under Mr.. Skeele of u. s. c.
college of music. later pupil of Herr
Becker.
Among the late arrivals we have a
talented musician and splendid teacher,
Mr. Anderson, who has studied under
well known professors and is a late
graduate of the Toronto Conservatory
of Music.
Glendale is lucky in being able to
have as supervisor of music in schools
Mrs. Gibson, who by her talent and
long experience is an efficient teacher.
While the whole community seems to
feel the influence of the art, more en-
thusiasm could not be found than that
shown by the Glendale Juvenile or
chestra, organized and conducted by
Earl Bishop Valentine.
Musicales are of almost daily occur
renee, while at concerts the attendants
are familiar with such names as Roland
Paul, Eugene Nowland, Kie Chrstin
and Mr.. Bowes
So in musical art as in business ways
Glendale grows surely and rapidly and
with such good material that the foun-
dation for a city in which music is
destined to be a chief feature is being
laid deep and strong.

SOCIAL LIFE IN GLENDALE


OCIAL life in Glendale is remark
ably active, considering our close
~ proximity to Los Angeles. Much
is left after the doings OF our many
church societies, several lively lodges,
and the ever active Country club anu
its auxiliary of maids and matIons are
eliminated, for there are still the social
and literary clubs and the many private
affairs which sometimes occupy our
people almost TO the limit.
The Woman's Tuesday Afternoon
club, organized in 1904, Is the pioneer
literary society in san Fernando valley
With a paid membership of ninety
v omen of culture and refinement it is
a powerful factor in local clubdom.
Proud OF it's past and with an eXcep-
tiOnally bright future before it, the club
Legins the new year with a growing
fund for purchasing a building site and
supplying a suitable club house for the
various departments. These embrace
philanthropy, CiYiCs, forestry, building
and lands, room and courtesy commit
tees, and a strong literary section.
Heads of departments as well as otti-
GERS comprise many of our brightest
women, and a general enthusiasm in
the club work is noticeable.
The past year this club, besides Civ
ing several brilliant social affairs and
some fine musical and literary pro
grams, found time to donate to charities
several wagon loads of supplies, such
as wood, food, clothing, fresh and
canned fruit and bedding. Also during
the holiday season many books and
toys were distributed, some going to
the children's day nursery in Los An
geles in charge there of the Kings
Daughters.
Historical trees have been preserved
and important ordinances established.
Shade trees have been protected, and
fund is on hand for building public
drinking fountains and resting places,
Another active organization that
gives bright social affairs and musical
and literary entertainment is chapter
l.. p. E. o., composed largely of moth
ers and teachers, and artists, musicians
and writer's of local fame.
The Glendale Study club is an organ
iZatiOn of active women who meet eV-
cry two weeks to study Shakespeare,
music, art, etc.
The Priscilla club, though ostensibly
a sewing club, comprised of society
women, is not too devoted to spinning
wheel occupations to prevent the mem
bers from discussing things literary
and delightful menus are provided.
The Progress club is social in its pro-
pensities and meets twice month at
the homes of members, excepting when
a musicale or social hop is given.
The Five Hundred club meets alter
nate weeks in North Glendale, and the
Sweet Sixteen when the spirit moves
them. These last furnish some of the
Iiveliest affairs of the winter season.
The Hoo-Dooes meet whenever tho
moon is right. They play whist and
other things.
There are several minor clubs, purely
social and of recent organization, which
have the winter before them to estab-
lish themselves.
1t is, therefore, readily seen that it is
not unusual for a Glendale host or

successfully inaugurated and are

any other city of the sixth class within
few minutes ride of Los Angeles can
show up more social life than Glendale,
our promoters would like the address.
