ERP 1EDNESDAY of the coming
week an exhibition of small
M bronzes by Anna Coleman
Wv Ladd will be opened in the
Corcoran Gallery of Art
The collection will comprise fifteen
works, the majority of which have been
modelled for special places in private
homes or gardens. All of these. with a
number of others by the same artist,
have just been. shown at Gorhams, in
New York, where they have called forth
much praise and attracted wide atten-
ton.
1t was in 1907 that Mrs Laid first
exhibited in this country, having just
returned from prolonged Sojourn
abroad, but since that time her works
have been included in almost every eX-
hibition of sculpture. She is extraor-
dinafily gifted, and in an article pub
lished in an art magazine something
more than a year ago Miss Anna Seaton-
Schmidt said: 1.-The sculpture of Anna
Coleman Ladd is distinct contribution
to American art; not only because it is
excellent in workmanship and possesses
the rare quality Of imagination. but that
her inspiration has come from the soil
the fact that she grew up and received
her education in Europe. Her greatest
ambition is to express the life and
ideals of our republic. and she longs to
create an enthusiasm for sculpture by
placing it where it may appeal directly
to the people. That the genius of Mrs.
Ladd seeks expression through works
to be placed in the open renders it
worthy of sincere consideration" And
strives to reproduce the human form
faithfully, realistically; yet her appeal
is always made through the abstract
and impersonal. Take that statue which
first attracted Thoughtful artists-The
Americana figure of youth struggling
with an eagle. 1t is true that the
masterful force of this figure was in
spired by the American spirit, but while
it represents our struggle with and
the universal human quality Of strength.
of determination and moral force. just
as her Beast of Prey portrays the low,
earth side of man, acquisitive, relent-
less, 1.-the and sinewy as a tiger-and
as pitiIess This powerfully modelled
figure, creeping through the dank
swamp grass, ready to spring on friend
or foe deserves to be placed among the
great imaginative conceptions Of modern
art"
The Beast of Prey which has also
been called THE Boss" is indeed a
powerful and impressive work. Every
line of the figure is significant-each
visible portion helps to convey the
meaning.
In contrast to this conception is As
pration,' a figure of man standing

PRUDENT PRISCILLA. BY Mary C..
E. Wemyss, author of The Profess
sional- Aunt" etc. Boston: Houghton
Miff1in Company. +
Without form, but certainly not void, is
this rambling. genial, humorous account
of the manifold prudences of Priscilla.
It's amusing situations, several to the
page. all spring from Priscillas unquench-
able desire to meet every one, particularly
every one who may be in trouble, with "a
fullness of comprehension and a ready
flow of friendship. Priscilla's desire. like
everything else grows by what it feeds
upon. and people with all sorts of trou-
bles and perplexities. the most of them
made of her own imaginings, flock about
Priscilla This foundation, of which the
author takes good advantage. opens the
wav for a procession of absurd miSadven-
lures. Ingenious to all appearances and
lovable in convincing reality, the young
woman makes deliciously clever comment
upon the hourly chances for the exercise
of her tact and prudence. A charming
little story.

held in the Moore galleries. Mr.. Dyar's
work is we'll known here. as he has ex
hibited in Washington annually for
number Of seasons. 1T is also, however,
almost invariably attractive and worthy
of serious consideration. Mr.. Dyars
style is very different from that of Mr..
Holmes He uses gray paper and
gOuache and paints much more in the
Dutch wet method. He too, however,
has a keen sense Of pictorial composition
and handles his medium with unusual
skill AS rule, Mr.. Dyar's pictures are

just shot and killed my twelve year old

When the police investigated they
found the little girl lying dead on

caused Purcell TO believe that he had
wounded her. The little girl was shot
three times, wound in each breast and
one in the right arm.
Purcells testimony before the Curran

Queens. and Lieutenant Becker, now in
Sing Sing, and other police officers as
among those to whom he had paid graft.
