Gloucester was written with the
opening OF the new Gallery on the
Moors. For years no picture cXlllbi-
ton has been considered complete
without at least a few from
the leading members OF tho artists
colony at Gloucestcr-Frank Duvc-
neck. Cecilia Beaux. John Sloan. Henry
McCartcr. Guy Virgins, Hayley Lever.
Randall pavcy. Henry Smell and the
rest. but this summer for the first time
they have all been afforded tho cppor-
turity tn hang their works together
II on tho spot where 50 much of
their best work has been done Tho
Gallery on the Moors WAS designed by
Ralph Adams Cram for Mr.. and Mrs.
William Edwin Atwood.
The foundation walls are Of rough
gray stone: the exterior walls are pink
stucco and the beams n timbers are
hand hewn and begged. Tho little
porch through which ono enters the
gallery gives one the feeling of n chapel
porch. Through IA dlapcrcd door. n
copy NJ an old English door, ono enters
n vestibuie painted in rich deep blue.
There Is design in this. 1t gives just
the hushed feeling and eye rest so de-
sired before entering the main gallery.
Tho gray plastered walls glowed to-day
with the favorito c~anvases OF about
forty Of the best known painters Of the
North Shore section.
The gallery was barely completed in
time to hang this show before the
close Of the summer season. II is
hoped that e year there will be a
series Of exhibitions throughout the
summer. Besides n large general en-
h!bition such as that which is now
opening. Mr.. and Mrs. Atwood hope
to have several group exhibitions, and
even a special exhibition for the stu
dents who flock to Gloucester every
summer.
The main room has n stage at one
end. fully equipped with trap doors,
and there are dressing rooms in the
basement. Next year.. between art eX-
hibitions. there will be given plays and
~tableauX. staged and acted by some
OF the we'll known player folk who

In h little balcony at the farther
end of the gallery is IA literary corner.

but it, will be added to continually.
Here are a reading lamp II comfort

The gallery is ideally situated on the
m%oorlands OF Eastern Point. between
the ocean II the harbor. About two
hundred yards from it. and on a little
higher ground. foundations are being
laid for Mr.. and Mrs. Atwood's new
summer home, which Mr.. Cram has
also designed. Below is n scdgy duel,

more paintings than one could mum,

more. for 1t is no part of Mr.. Atwood's
plan to fence in his part Of the moors
