Display by Sculptors.
The sculptors make a particularly
pleasing display, but Baltimore has
stood for a long time prominent in
this branch of art. Edward Berge,
Hans Schuler and Ephraim Keyser
have all done work which has given
them national repute. Others like
George Conlon and Rachel NJ. Hawks
are now coming to the fore.
A good portion of the sculpture now
on view in the Corcoran Gallery of
Art by these Baltimore sculptors was
shown a few weeks ago in a special
exhibition at the Washington Arts Club.
1t is well, however, to have 1t shown
again, and in the Corcoran gallery,
where many more will have the privi-
lege of viewing it.
The Corcoran gallery is open Mon
day from IL m. to 4:30 pm, and on
other week days from am. to 1870
pm, and on Sundays from 1870 to
4:30 pm. 1t is free at all times to
men In uniform and on Tuesdays.
Thursdays. Saturdays and Sundays to
the general public.
