LONDON, June 1S. 1910.
American visitors this summer will
have two new opportunities for at
tractive sights" The fine old hall of
the SINNERS Company, in Dowgate
Hill. down in the heart OF old London.
has just been enriched by a series Of
panels by Frank Brangwyn. A. r. A

eleven paintings was completed and
exhibited at the Royal Academy. and

history of this ancient guild. is con-
Guided. The SINNERS Company, which
ranks sixth among the great livery
companies. received its charter from
Edward III in 1927. and it's long his
tory has furnished the artist with
abundant material.
Mr.. Brangwyn's characteristic holiness
in design and richness of coloring have
been put to excellent advantage. and the
panels ranged around the handsomely
carved oak wafnscoted banqueting hall
make this apartment one Of the most
beautiful Of all the great London COM
panies halls. The first panel, "Pelrs and
Furs at City Mart" empha sizes the for
ner association of the company with an
industry from which in modern times it
has become somewhat divorced although
laboratory to Leeds University may be
cited as muniicent atonement for for
mer neglect. This gift marked the latest
reversion by the company to a policy of
its first striking exemplifcation in the
founding, by Sir A. Judd of Tonbridge
School In 1863, which forms the subject
of the fifth panel
Incident in London's Defense.
Sir A. Judd figures also in the sixth.
which depicts an incident in his defense

livery companies entertained exalted
guests.

two most notable works are Portrait OF
a Gentleman by Watts. and Will Roth
enstein's Portrait Drawing Of Auguste
Rodin.'' The former. a somber portrait
of a man of middle age. with a fine and
intellectual face, is a very striking pic
ture: and Mr.. Rothenstein's drawing of
the famous sculptor. though not much
more than an impressionist sketch, is a
mastery piece of work. Four of the

The picture is half-length portrait Of a
