Art Review
BY KATHRYN RUCKER

Following an enjoyable reception on
Monday evening, the first annual ex-
hibitlon of the work of women painters
Of Southern California was opened on
Tuesday morning to public view, to
continue until February q. Most Of
the work has not been shown previous
ly, but there are several familiar paint
ings, and the list of exhibitors presents
only a few names of artists not having
exhibited here before, but among them
is one whose work was exceptionally
good, Lu Deem Christensen. -Four of
her canvases were hung, Study, Boys
Head, being one of the best paintings
in the exhibition, a well handled por-
trait, showing much feeling and under
standing for that work. Others whose
work is being shown here for the first
time are Fanny Ryan, who is repre-
sented by Afternoon Tea, an oil pos
sessing some good qualities; Mary Bar
tow, who shows one oil and a small
water color; Helen Salisbury, an etch-
er of talent and ability, whose Portrait
of Miss H. proves both; Helen Clark
Chandler, who presents several char
coal drawings of unusual merit, and
Harriette B. Goodman, showing one oil
and a water color.
Elizabeth Borglum, so well known
for her splendid grape paintings, has
in this exhibition two landscapes full
rains, and an interior, "Sala Capitalar,
Toledo, SPAIN which show this ar
lists versatility. Helen E. Coan shows
two good oils; Lillian Drain has a
representative group Of her very in
tereSting monOtypes, in the handling
of which she eXcels. Her Harmony of
Evening and San Pedro Harbor" are
little gems of their kind. Miss Drain
also has one oil canvas with a pleas
s,,-- Of Ir71 inc
Gere, art instructor at the state normal
school, shows two small paintings,
"Old Fashioned Garden and Hay
field" delightful in tone. There are
four oils by Regina O'Kane, who spent
last year in England under Frank
Brangwyn, whose influence in tech
nique is clearly discernible, especially
in a street scene, which possessed more
life and vigor Of coloring than the
others, and has strong sunlight.
KNITTING" a figure painting by Mary
Gay, is a broadly handled painting, but
the flesh tones are too cold to be pleas
ing Her Sand Dunes" is we'll rem
dered. Among the best portraits shown
are the two executed by Helma Heyn-
sen-Jahn, one of Major John H. Nor
ton and the other MY Mother" Mrs.
jain has the happy faculty of putting
into her portraits all the strength of
character and individuality her sitter
expresses, which makes them alive and
real Two small studies and two por-
traits, one a sketch of a child's head,
are exhibited by Blanche Duggan Cole;
the larger portrait is carefully and fine
ly finished.
The sketches by Nanette Calder are
very interesting in color and their
rather startling effect, as in the case
of the portrait sketch of her husband,
A. Stirling Calder, which is executed
with swift and direct strokes. Her por-

OCEAN PARK

HH HE second benefit performance Of
Princess Bonnie at the Horse
shoe Pier auditorium Friday night
was a highly successful affair from
both financial and social standpoint.
The pleasant weather which was
lacking at the previous performance
brought out an exceedingly large and
appreciative audience, who demanded
encore after encore from the members
of the cast.
One of the most pleasing features Of
the well trained chorus is the double
quartet of 'broilers," who captured the
house with the Swinging Chorus" and
the "Pajama" parade.
Mrs. G. H. Rundel delivered an IN
teresting lecture at the meeting of the
Crescent Bay Woman's. club Thursday
afternoon. Her subject was Holland. /"
and was illustrated charmingly by a
number of club members who appeared
in Dutch costumes and performed
Dutch dances and sang character songs
of the country. After the lecture s,
coffee klatch served at individual tables
made a fitting finish Of very pleasant
afternoon.
Among those who contributed to the
enjoyment of the occasion are Mines
Hite Wickizer, w. M. Kendall, H. r.
Eakin, w. F. Towne, Todd, w. H. An
derson and Charles Shissler.

trait Of Jerome Eddy reminds one in
Stantly of Rev. Wagner's Stewart Ed
ward White, though it might be diff
cult to really find any similarity other
than in the costume. This is an inter-
esting canvas in color and handling,
and one of the best from this artists
brush. CarlOtta BlauroCk shows one
picture, I'm the Harbor." Goose Green
at Chatillon" is a decorative water
color by Teresa Cloud. She also shows
two others.
There are two water colors of Chi
natown subjects and one called ION
the BreakWater," by Helen Coan; IN
Elysian Park and Eucalyptus Trees
at Sunset are water colors by Nellie
Huntington Gere; "In the Foothills
by Mary Harland, has an excellet quail
ity of sunlight. She shows one other
small water color, Village Street"
white Chrysanthemums and Core
opsis," two flower studies in water
color, are examples Of the work Of Leta
Harlocker; "a Sun Worshiper' is
shown by Frieda Ludovici; Norah Pur-
cell is represented by two water colors,
very pleasing and executed with de-
cided strength; several flower studies
in this medium are shown by Marian
Williams.
The etchings by Marion Holden Pope
are of decided Importance in the ex-
hibitiOn and represent the best work
done by this talented artist. Dry points
by Anna Fucker are "Portarait of Miss
F., Grace and Edna" all showing
an excellent technique and strong i'll
dividuaiity. She also shows too color
monOtypeS. There are three pastels by
Annie Pierce.
The group of miniatures attracts
much attention and contains several Of
exquisite handling and delightful color
INxrn Tow
Girl Sewing and portraits of two chill
Gren, broadly handled and charming in
color; three by Fanny Evelyn Mute are
fine in technique; Alice E. Ludovici also
shows three.
Julia Bracken is represented by some
Of her best work, both in the round and
baS relief; the portrait bust of her huS-
band, William Wendt, painter is q
most excellent likeness and is splendid
ly executed. The reliefs are portrait
sketches of Mrs. Vosburg, Marion HOl-
den Pope, Antony Anderson and Rene
I. de Quelin. Maud Daggett shows
three portrait reliefs.
The exhibition at the Steckel gallery,
which opened February Is, has created
quite some interest. 1t embraces oil
color portraits and landscapes by James
z. McBurney, and water colors by
Margaret Jordan Patterson. Mr.. Nc
Burney has occupied the position of art
instructor at the Los Angeles high
school for the past two years. He is
a graduate of Pratt Institute, was at
one time a teacher in Chestnut Hill
academy, Philadelphia, and maintained
a summer school in Connecticut for
several years, where Miss Patterson
was one of his pupils. He was a stu
dent under Howard Pyle in Whining
ton, and had a studio in that city for
some time. Just previous to coming
to Los Angeles Mr.. McBurney spent
two years travelling in Europe, devoting
his time to study in the art galleries
of that country. His work shows no
trace of influence by either old or
modern masters, nor can it be said to
belong to any school, foreign or Ameri-
can. 1.-The Horse Show GirT' repre-

and ''The Call of the Pack" a snow
scene, is perhaps the most successful
of the canvaseS shown, of which there
were fourteen, only two or three being
local.
The water colors by Miss Patterson
present very striking contrast to the
work with which they are hung, being
Of bold, broad and vigorous handling,
belonging to the modern school of
painting, and presenting wonderful eff
fectS OF sunlight, with almost startling
color. They are most refreshing and
give a strong impression of the delights
of that enchanting country in which
they were painted, Spain, portraying
quaint old corners, many-arched
bridges and other characteristic scenes,
to which our California once bore such
strong resemblance. While these pic
lures show much the same feeling for
color expressed in the pastels by this
artist, exhibited last year, they seem
truer, Notwithstanding their close ap-
prOach to the ''posteresque." They are
very different from the water colors
familiar to the general public, being
worked in tempera or opaque water
color and upon deeply tinted paper
sometimes almost a brown, which ap-
pears in portions untouched by the
brush,- with fine effect.
Miss Patterson is a Pratt institute
graduate and was a private pupil of G.
H. Woodbury., Ogunquit, Me, and was
for nine years director of art. Boston
public schools, during which time she
spent six successive summers in Hol-
land. She has exhibited her work at
and received honorable mention from
hte Woman's Water Color club, New
York; Boston Water Color society,
Philadelphia academ- and Chicago Art
institute. She is now spending a year
in France and Spain, sending the recent
work from Spain for the present exhi-
bttion, which closes February 27.

WILL START ON LIGHTING PLANT.
DAM TO BE BUILT AT ONCE.

On Monday evening of this week an
other meeting of the citizens was held
in Town Hall, the subject to be consider
ed being electric light for Thurmont.
At this meeting the report of the COM
mittee which was appointed to secure Il
yea and nay vote of the voters in the
taxable limits of the town was heard.
The object of this vote was to ascer-
tain whether or not the taxpayers would
favor bonding the town for $lS, 600 and
cast their vote for such bond issue at an
election after bill providing for the is
sue of bonds had been granted by the
Maryland Legislature at its next meet
ing.
The report read by the committee was
not complete, apaper in the hands OF one
the members being absent, but lbs names
were secured favorable to the bond issue.
A number expressed themselves as be-
ing favorable to the plan but would not
81 m up. 1t is estimated that with those
voting favorable on the absent paper,
the vote would be about 125 in favor of
the issue. The total vote is about $50.
The question of when to begin work on
construction of the plant was then taken
up, some favoring going ahead at once,
others thinking work should not begin
until the bond issue was authorized by
the legislature and voted upon by the
citizens. The discussion was lively for
time but when vote was taken it was
unanimous in favor of proceeding as soon
as possible.
The reason for going ahead with this
work (the dam especially now is, that
the water in the stream is low and the
work can be done when the water is low
much cheaper than when the stream is
flush as is generally the case in the early
part Of the year.
1t is proposed to secure enough persons
who will be willing to advance the nee
essary money to begin construction, or
in other words to "underwrite" the prop
osition for the town, pending the author
izaton of bond issue by the Legislature
and its ratification by the people. They
will act as holding committee and when
the town takes over the work done by
them, they will be reimbursed for the
money spent plus interest.
Another meeting will be held Wednes
day evening, September 9Th, in Town
Hail.
