hibited is familiar to the picture view
ing public of Los Angeles, having been
seen at some one Of the galleries here,
no less interest or enthusiasm was
manifest and many of the paintings
were greeted with the pleasure and
welcome accorded a loved friend by
those who had seen them on previous
occasions.
On entering the gallery, the group
of foreign paintings by Jules Pages is
first seen, and their delightful color ard
technique, as well as interest of sub
ject, hold the attention significantly.

resented by two other studies hung

gallery, in large, well lighted room
to be used for lectures, ETC., is most
interesting collection of book plates

three groups: Armorial, American, and
those by or for Southern Californians

them is one by Mary Eleanor Curran
of this city, for herself, noticeable
for its attractive simplicity. Others of
note were: Kate Douglas Riggs and
Jack London's, the former in color and

life; the latter, particularly bold and
strong, reminiscent of THE Call of
the Wild" Also shown in this room

School of Art and Design, two being
signed showing the names of Lang
don Smith and Atterbury; and a col

Dawson's Los Angeles book shop. In
