BIGGEST OF CITY'S
ART EXHIBITS soon

S4tO'Roh Ol an ART museum, is the oN-
hibition OF paintings to be shown in
the rose room of the Hotel dupont
from octber > to October Z inclusive
by Stanley NJ. Arthurs and Clifford
Ashley. The exhibition is particularly
interesting inasmuch as II shows in a
conclusive manner the fine growth Of
the talents OF these two artists and
such an exhibition here indicates to
what extent Wilmington has become
an art centre.
There are over twentg men in Will
mington's art colony, in which Mr.. Ar
thurs and Mr. Ashley are perhaps the
most mature and IL is easy TO forecast
from the excellence OF their showing
that it is only a question Of few
years when Wilmington will be one Of
the most important centres In the art
world.
Mr.. Ashley and Mr.. Arthurs' exhi-
bition comprises a happy choice Of
subjects, including landscape, marine,
figure, genre and historical subjects.
II will be recalled that Mr. Arthurs
last year in the Hotel dupont. exhibit
ed his large historical mural painting
for the Delaware State capitol This
year with equal facility he has turned
TO landscape and marine. Mr. Ashley's
pictures are more interesting and
charming than they were at his last
years exhibition and those who took
the opportunity 10 attend then will

Together in the past year Mr.. Ash
ley and Mr.. Arthurs have sketched in
4 California. in Massachusetts and in
southern Delaware. Subjects from all
these places will be shown. A num-
/ Der of Mr.. Ashley's canvases have
already been exhibited in the Phila-
delphia Art Club. but none OF the
work by either OF the men has pre-
viOusly been shown in Wilmington.
or particular interest TO Whining
tonians will be Mr.. Arthur's large
pointing OF Old Swedes Church. Mr.
Ashley shows two OF his mist" pic
! lures. Although quite different from
those canvases sold az his last years
exhibition TO Senator Salisbury. Rod
ney Sharp and William +. Sellers,
they have the same haunting
charm which made his mist pictures
last year the most popular offering OF
his show.
Mr.. Arthur's Might watchuan" is
the most interesting subject picture
to be shown. In Il the old-time
watchman, with his staff and lantern
in hand, is seen making his round
on frosty moonlit night. He is just
passin the door of a tavern, where the
breaking sign is shown swinging over
head, and the lighted window above
| indicates that some late reveler. or
possibly the landlord, is still awake
