LOCAL TALENT ID BE PRESENTED
 AT MEETING

Members Of the Bridgeport Philo- sophical society are anticipating a most interesting meeting on Wednes- day evening, October 29, when a mu- sical program of special order will be presented. Officers of the society are completing arrangements for the en- tertainment when several local musi- cians and artists will be presented.
 Among the attractions will be Miss Bessie Panish, young poetess, who will introduce her own work. She will recite a number of poems that she has written recently, and is com piling in book form. Her work will be especially interesting, because sh e is keenly interested in human pro- gress and is quite a student of human nature. Her work has both the hu- morous and philosophical touch and is altogether charming.
 Rev. Alexander F. KleinfieId of Brooklyn, N. Y, doctor, minister and musician, will render a piano recital and will also give several vocal solos. Mrs. Ruth E. LindhoIm, the society musical director, is preparing several musical selections of interest. It is expected that all rnemb bers and their friends will be present to enjoy the evenings entertainment.

BANANAS ARE
 PLENTIFUL NOW

Bridgeport is again well supplied with bananas. On account of the strike of longshoremen on October 9th in New York city, which is re- ported to be one of the worst strikes in the history of the market, local wholesalers were unable to obtain their usual supply of bananas from New York. That this city is once more well supplied with this favorite fruit is due to the fact that cargoes of bananas are being unloaded in Philadelphia and the smaller markets are being supplied fdom that city in stead of from New I ork.

OF emotion, pointing to frame Of
mind, symbolizes the broad drift OF all
the ''modcrn' sculptures here shown.
Underneath what is rcpelcnt in them
we feel vaguely the play of ideas, of
imagination. Mn Clarke differs from
most modernists in that he convnces
us that he really has something worth
while to communicate. He obscurcs
it behind veil Of plastic ccccntricity.
He is uncouth, as it seems to us, in
relief like "The Pibroch' and we
are the more disappointed because We
know that he has the technique to
rise above uncouthness. But at least
there is life at the bottom Of his
crude Or erotesquc images.
Mr. Thorolf Homboe, the Norwegian
painter, who is making an exhibition
at the Ralston gallery, belongs amongst
the pedestrian types of scandinavian
art. His landscapes and coast scenes,
though in no wise brilliantly painted.
are creditably done. His best char
acteristic is discovered in his ma
nipulation Of light This counts to good
purpose in "My Garden Gate which
is altogether his most successful can
vas. Next it we would place the crisply
skctched Sand Cart" capital bit
Of open air painting In general his
work is adequate ard veracious, but
without any notable individuality.
Three groups make the exhibition
now open at the kraushaar Gallery
The smallest is composed Of two of
Monticelli's romantic scenes, all color
and confused glamour Mr. George Luks
is represented in three vividly con-
trasted canvases. A kind of snapshot
OF Mr.. Skinner in the role Of Colonel
Philippe Bridau' hangs opposite "The
Theologian." the full length Of such a
monk as Zurburan might have painted.
One misses Zurburan's rich tone Mr.
Luks is a powerful technician, almost
too powerful 1t was Max Beerbohm,
we believe, who once said Of Hall Caine
that he always wrote at the top of his
voice That is the way in which Mr.
Luks paints 1t gains him a tremen-
dous realistic salience, but it brings
no quality to his surfaces. We feel
the absence of this sorely in "The The
ologian," which has melowed a little
but not enough. We feel it even more
in the peace Celebration" picture
so spirited, so positively abounding in
vitality, that we wish all the more
that it had beauty as we'll as strength.
Beside the robustiousness of Mr.
Luks and the sensuous thcatricality of
Monticello, we have an opportunity to
SAVIOR here the tenderness of A. P.
Ryder. One wall bears an unusual
group of his pictures, the familiar and
masterly "White Horse" the "Old Mill
in Moonlight" which was likewise in a
recent snle, and three paintings that
will come upon most visitors as COM
plete surprises. The "Smugglers'
Landing Place" illustrates a theme on
which he paused more than once, a
const scene, saturated in deep color.
"Sunect Hours" landscape with a sim
Elo figure, has no drama in it, but
1t is Of poetry all compact Ryder
