The Macbeth gallery is holding a
show Of WORKS By five artists In SUN
mer Afternoon" Charles II. Davis has
succeeded well in what he has tried 70
do. The greens OF the trees with
which the canvas is filed are well nan
died. The only possible fault is that
the upper part of the picture Is done
too much as fat pattern Of branches
against the sky. without the aerial per-
spective necessary 20 make IL perfectly
coincide with the lower portion.
Spring" is p charming canvas. redo
lent with the spirit Of that season,
which the artist has never better rep
resented. Paul Dougherty sends three
of his splendid sea pictures. lie seems
70 be all the time becoming more adept,
and the present canvases are as fine as
anything he has ever done. Low Tide
Rocks" is full of color and the rocks
and water CLEAN in the sun. The com
position is a bit different from the or
binary.
Kenneth II. Miller's three paintings
are strangely and moodily decorative.
His Woman and Children" has the
immoblity Of the Sphinx and an almost
occult fascination. The conception Is
pear 70 be carved in stone. The most
effective of his pictures Is "The Fam
ily," which ls really a pattern IN sill
houettes. The contribution OF Chaun-
cey F. Ryder is made up Of three clear,
cheerful landscapes, in which there Is
a great deal of poetry OF healthy va
tiety. The grass in Overlook. from
Putnam Farm" supplies brilliant note
in a composition of a group OF pale
birches against light-colored sky and
a line OF blue distant hills. In the
Tomb Of a Saint at BouZareah. Al
giers." by William Sartain. the white
line OF the wall and the tomb itself
relieve the general brownish color and
indistinctness.
At the Rslston gallery il a show Of
fifteen present day Americans, one pict-
ure By each. The artists are all well
known. and the examples of their work
are typical and good, though not thrill
ing. George Bellows's Portrait OF
Adelaide Spratlin" Is fascinating in It's
intense ugliness. The Portrait OF
Henry Rutgers Marshall" by J. Car
roll Beckwith. is a workmanlike piece
If painting. but the predominant shade
Of red in it is hardly agreeable. George

broad, mellow landscape with quite
exceptional late afternoon atmosphere.
Jonas Lie sends a characteristic lively
painting Of bridge, steam and barges
Leonard Ochtman's lovely sunny
Hills" is bathed in shimmering light.
and "The Wind" By Van bearing Per
rine, is decorative in a family Japa-
nese manner.
The present show at the Mcdowell
Club is a pleasant surprise. There are
more things of interest than we have
seen there in long time. We were de-
lighted 10 find Ossip /. Linde among
The exhibitors. Nr. Linde knows how
10 paint. and his canyases are always
technically good "a well "a being full
Of atmosphere and real charm. His
two Connecticut landscapes are inter
csting. and the Market on the old
Bridge. Bruges" is fine picture IN
every way. particularly beautiful m
color. Though Theresa T. Bernstein's
pictures sometimes decidedly lack
beauty. her work il strong and she
succeeds IN getting the effects she
wishes. She seizes on picturesque mo-
ments and portrays the salient char
acteristics of the types she paints. Her
pictures are commentaries upon present
cay city life. "The Suffrage Parade
Is a good picture Of its type. and IN
High School Girls" she has procured
q decorative effect.
