Colonel Wolf American
Winnerof Palma Prize

Lieutenant Colonel Wolf, whom the
government has chosen wisely to take
from the comparative obscurity of the
Texas border and place in absolute
control of the troops stationed here
and upon whose efficiency will depend
largely the outcome OF the war for the
Allies, has beer but little known here
tofore TO the public, such has been our
national indifference TO military al
fairs. To those who know and have
followed his strenuous career OF
eighteen years in the regular army he
has been a man marked for signal
honors. Major General Bell has given
him full support, holding him respon-
sible for producing results in training
the finest BODY of fighting men the
world has ever seen. The spirit Of CO.
operation and high personal regard ex-
isting between the two is felt by every
soldier in the ranks. In speaking Of

"The idea that it is easier to ex-

to inflict on the patient public

Valkyrien won, an honor bestowed
by committee of great artists and
physical culturists selected TO

applicants the girl nearest perfect

Three years ago Valkyrien was

(From February Art Worldly
A rich and well-assorted table
of contents is shown by the cur
rent monthly cart World" a new
magazine that has absorbed "The
Craftsman, thus extending it's at
tention to the field of applied arts.
The magazine continues to offer
concrete examples, by reproducing
foreign pictures and sculpture, of
what it considers great or clever
works of art, trivial or degenerate
pieces. "Rouget de Lisle Singing
the Marsellaise' painting by Pills
is declared to be great; Mater
mite" by Carriere is explained as
clever; a tavern interior by Te-
niers is called trivial; and "Torso
of Young Woman" nude Re-
noir, is argued degenerate. Editor
tally "The Art World blows a
powerful blast against the tend
ency among the followers of Ro-
din to deform, degrade and make
hideous the human form divine,
under the impression that they are
being individual, virile and orig
final. "Why the Defamation of the
Form in Public Monuments Is a
Social Menace" is the title.
"Thus we see that in every case
reformation of the form has
brought on large or small civil
strife in every country where a
public monument by Rodin has
been allowed to be erected.
"Now all social division is a So
cial menace. But when this divi-
sion is on so basic matter as 9
public monument, it becomes a dis.
heartening division. Why? Be-
cause in a public monument the
public does not want, and it shoulc
not want, the expression OF theor
les of art personal to any artist
thereries more or less esoteric anC
incomprehensible. What the pub
lie wants and should want is thu
expression, by the help of the art
list, of it's own sentiments and as
pirations. And the greatest arts
is he who expresses, not himself
but humanity, not his artisti
whims. but that which humanit,
wishes to have expressed for ltsel

cept through the medium OF 1T

purpose it willingly supports.

MISS RICHARDS
AS A TYPE
Represents SANDER In "Ex-
perience' And Dresses
The Part

The Part
1t is possible to select a type to
personify each human emotion,
virtue and vice?
Do people in their outward as
pect suggest their dominant traits
of character?
The first answer to this question
is likely to be no. Quite instinct
lively we are likely to think that it
is ridiculous to believe that any
habits of thought and traits OF
mind and heart can leave their i'm
press upon the features of an in
dividual, and that such individuals
can be classified into groups, tip
flying for instance the psychology
ical phenomena of passion, frailty,
frivolity, conceit, snobbishness,
love. etc. But the management Of
Experience" which comes to the
Playhouse for the entire week of
February 26th, have succeeded
] wonderfully in demonstrating that
it is poseihra TO accomplish the un-
expected.
In selecting the young women to
typify the different traits of hui
man nature in Experience" they
showed wonderful cleverness in
, picking young women who actually
suggest the roles they portray. 1t
may seem unkind to say it of Miss
= Frances Richards, the very beauti-
! full girl who plays SANDER, but the
: girls Of the company do say that
S she is the very best possible selec-
: ton for the role. Here is a re-
markable phenomenon. Miss Rich
: RAIDS is % years of age, beautiful
a and popular. She has appeared in
: musical comedy, she has acted in
: dramatic plays and yet, somehow,
:, in spite of her popularity she is
a always getting into hot water back
: stage because of her unfortunate
e fondness for relating frivolous
gossip. Every time she hears a
little bit Of gossip she simply can
= not help repeating it. Not that
i there is any particular harm in it
a except that once in while she
s causes friendships to break up
but it seems Inevitable that when
y ever she speaks she says some
