An HEODORE WOREs. soiourning in

m HEODORE WORES, sojourning in
Los Angeles for several months,
a opened an exhibition of his paint
ings, portraits and landscapes at the
Steckel gallery Saturday. The show
ing embraces a number of foreign
scenes, Mr.. Wores having travelled in
the orient and through Europe, Japan
and Spain, being two interesting coun-
tries affording subjects for work now
exhibited. or the twentysiX paintings
shown three are Portraits there are
several garden scenes, and the others
are chiefly landscapes, all in the same
medium, oil. The full length life size
figure portrait of Miss Caroline Bauer
of San Francisco is we'll drawn and the
textures are finely expressed; the other
two portraits are of Aileen Bauer,
little miss of pleasing personality, and
present further demonstration of this
artists ability to render delicate and
filmy fabrics and silky textures. There
are several low-toned landscapes that
show appreciation of values and color
harmony.
Marshes of Green Brae" is full OF
feeling, and 1.-THE Storm Kings Foil
is a picture of much charm. In most
of the Japanese portrayals may be seen
the artists love of flowers, as also in
the gardens of Spain and California,
which are pleasing in color and COM
position.
The exhibition will continue two
weeks.
In the Kanst gallery may be seen a
number of paintings by foreign artists
never previously shown here, and also
several new ones by local painters. Of
special interest is hunting scene by
c. e. Stewart, associate member of the
Royal Academy. This picture was ex-
hibted in the Royal Academy in 1891
and received much favorable comment
from London critics. A huntsman in
the usual English costume about to
cross a stream with his dogs is por-
trayed. The picture is pleasing in COM
position and color and is exceptionally
well executed.
OF an altogether different type and
technique is Scottish landscape.
River Teith," by ]. Smart, r. S. A..
which was hung in the Royal
Scottish Academy in 1865 1t is a fine
example of the exquisite detail carried
out in the paintings of that time and
possesses tenderness of tone and a
charm of poetry and expression not al
ways found in the present school of
painting.
Another painting is by distin-
guished artist of the r. S. A., Sir
Fettes Douglas, president of that
body in 1865, in which same year this
painting, called 1.-THE Old World and
the New was exhibited there. This
picture portrays several monks seated
near a window in their CELL through
which are seen people passing from
the church opposite. 1t is painted with
care and feeling and tells it's own
story. These three paintings alone re-
pay one for a visit to these galleries,
to say nothing of a group of rare old
English water colors which may be
seen there now upon request. These
are attributed to the Norfolk school.
In this medium is also shown an at
tractive collection of marines by ]. L..
France of Buffalo. A recent oil land
seape by Mrs. Harris had many admir-
able qualities and the additional inter-
est of being from a sketch made by her
husband in the locality where Corot
found so much that appealed to him,
and whose landscapes this undoubtedly
recalls.
An evening on art was given in these
