The living picture exhibition at
Washburn college chapel Friday given
under the direction of Mrs. L. d.
Whittemore of the fine arts depart
ment, was a creditable and instructive
affair.
More than twenty famous pictures
and statues by removed artists and
sculptors were reproduced with great
fidelity to detail, color, pose and COM
position.
This is quite remarkable, as the
one item of costumes must have in
volved a considerable expenditure of
time and money. 1t is also hard for
amateurs to assume and hold diff
cult poses for any considerable length
of time. Most of the persons taking
part did very well in that respect,
however. Especial the small children
in Millet's Feeding Her Nest1ings"
and Abbott Thayer's "Caritas-"
Perhaps the most striking reproduc-
ton of all was that of Gainsborough' 3
BOY Blue for which Mr.. David
Overmeyer posed.
There was also a reproduction of a
painting, Jimmie by Mrs Iris An
drews Miller. Mrs. Miller, some years
ago, was instructor in art at the To-
peka high school, and was very popu-
lar socially as Miss Iris Andrews. Mrs.
Miller is now an artist of considerable
note.
The entertainment was arranged in
three parts, and there was piano
solo at the beginning, and between
each part
These exhibitions are an annual af-
fair. They have a high educational
value, and well deserve the patronage
of all lovers of the beautiful and the
artistic.
Those who posed for the pictures
were: Miss Lucille Bomgardner, Miss
Marguerite +Kiene, Miss Jean McEach-
ron, Miss Dorothy Henderson, Eugene
Henderson, Miss Ada Walker, Mar
garet Thayer, Master Henry Newson,
