in artistic circles.
Too much can not be said in praise
of the annual newspaper artists exhi-
bition now going on in the red room
of the St. Francis In many respects
it is the most interesting of the year
not only because of the diverse talent
displayed. but also because OF the wide

The most extensive OF the exhibits
are those OF Del Niue. Gray, McNeilI
and Armstrong. A.
Chaplin has some particularly good
studies on view, prominent among
which may be mentioned. Gateway
Lombard Street" Where the Lights
CLEAN" and The Tree Against the
Sky. In this latter very beautifully
has he brought out the red gold lights
in distinction to the darkness of the
night. These scenes are in oil. and are
strongly handled. He also has some
clever portraits on view and few
good studies in charcoal. one OF the
beSt OF Whlch as a type sketch IS his
-"Fruit Seller"
Percy Gray is we'll represented by his
exquisitely painted water color scenes
around Berkeley. Burlingame and Mon
terey. Among the most attractive OF
these are Evening Light "Tomales
Bay" Daisy Field" and Marsh Ala
media" in water .colors. and his Rock
Bound Coast" the only oil scene on
display by him.
j. A Cahill has some effective scenes
in black and white done with a bold
ness of touch. on view that are particu-
larly good samples of his style. and
Dan Sweeney among his many good
studies has one wonderful little scene
entitled MIST" done in shades OF gray.
OF Maurice Del Mue's il is hard to
make choice, although the oil scene
entitled Chain of Lakes. Golden Gate
Park" has perhaps appealed most to
the popular fancy. Another very strong
study is his Moonlight in shades OF
gray and purple.
Among SperO'S exhibit his sigma Is
perhaps the best. though of all OF his
il might be said the expressions are
good, the poses excellent and the tvpes
chosen very characteristic.
This exhibition opened Tuesday ana
viii close tomorrow.
