Random Impressions
I'm Current Exhibitions

II is refreshing to view paintings OF
the type exhibited by Carl Rungius
at the Harlow gallery. His big game
subjects come to us like q breath Of
air from the mountains. They are
paintings Of type seldom seen in our
exhibitions and they are assuring be-
cause they bespeak the true vigor Of
tho wilds. The artist knows his animals
and the settings in which they appear.
Always the animal dominates the COM
position, but the settings are also stu
diously painted. They are not brushed
in to complete the picture, but are
made q vital part Of the composite
whole. If there is too little animation
in some of his animals, the artist
ovcrcomes this effect in other
examples. Notable, in this sense, is
"a Knight Errant," work of striking
composition Of huge moose with
antlers outlined against a rock. There
are several purely scenic pictures, but
it is the animal form and character
that illustrates keenest appreciation
In another room is shown group Of
etchings and drypoints by VANS
Gravesande, the Dutch artist, whose
water subjects, though sometimes con-
ventional, are delicate in texture. Be
sides many portrayals of quiet harbor
and village life, there is shown q
lovely cathedral interior done in
broken tones of light and shadow.
The Braus gallery is showing this
week a joint exhibition of the paint
ings of Rose Nedwill and Elizabeth
Hicks. The former has some tempera
studies Of bits of Spanish architecture
in America that have directness and
charm. A studio interior and strik-
ing color portrait show her hand in
the heavier medium of oil. Elizabeth
Hicks is represented by landscape and
water subjects, simple in color and
arrangement. A garden vista of trees
and blossoming flowers, catalogued as
"Azaleas, S. c." is noticeable and
worthy little endeavor.
The presence of a fourishing art
concerned with the binding and deco
rating of books is effectively indicated
by the exhibition of the Guild of Book
Workers, their thirteenth annual af-
fair, held last week at the Grolier
Club. The rule applies that new ex-
amples must be exhibited each year.
This years work was of wide scope
and variety. There were many finely
fooled bindings, book plates and il
luminations, the work of amateurs and
professionals, together with a tech
nical display of the implements and
the methods employed in the binding
process. Fanny Dudley, Helen Haskell
Noyes and Emily Preston had generous
representations of their artistic bind
ings. Moy Schweitzer's original de-
signs and coiorations in illumination

Dorothy Miller Says
She Hopes to Deserve
Well of the Theater

Dorothy Miller, the sixtcen-year-ol old
Trenton girl whose offer to marry any
man who would give her 81 900 to pay
for an operation vitality needed by her
mother resulted in the unconditional
gift to her by ]. j. Shubert of 81 900,
is going on the stage to escape matrj-
mony.
When Miss Miller makes her debut
in "The Passing Show of 1921" at the
Winter Garden tomorrow night the oc-
casion will mean for her that she will
not be obliged to we0 any of the hun
dreds of men who promptly responded
to her appeal by letter.
Miss Miller, who has been rehears
ing with Zeke Colvin, general stage
manager of the Winter Garden, I'M her
own home in Trenton and in the Chest
nut Street Opera House, in Philadel-
phia, has been impressed by this feat
ure of her life.
Ever since I can remember" she
said in Philadelphia yesterday, II have
been reading in the newspapers about
the splendid marriage of some girl on
the stage to some exceptional man.
When Florodora' was revived. for in
stance, l read of the marriage of the
original members of the original sex
tet. Some of them married American
mlllionaires and some married men
from foreign countries, but all of them
married we'll. Some of the girls who
succeeded them even married noblemen
"ln my own mind the life of girl
on the stage has always been associat-
ed with a fine marriage. But in nv own
case | am happy to say that it is quite
different. When the doctor said that
my mother never would regain her
health unless she was operated upon I
decided that she should have private
room and special nurses. While, when
the idea came to me, | offered to marry
any man who would pay for the opera
ton, | secretly dreaded the possibili-
Ties OF the offer. When the idea first
came to me l was very enthusiastic, but
when the letters began to come in I
mad some second thoughts. pictured
myself married to man did not love.
and the vision of whole lifetime with
him fioated through my mind. 1t would
have been terrible.
Then came Mr.. Shubert's offer to me
without condition OF any kind. I was
happy, but l did not wish to take his
money without at least trying to earn
1t. SO | suggested that he put me in
some one of his companies. So he put
me in the Winter Garden.
The stage has made it possible for
me to marry only the man shall meet
some day and love q haven't met him
yeti. l shall work very hard to deserve
well of the stage, and hope that I shall
De able to make career for myself"

Vincent Lawrence
Tells Reason Why
OF "Chost Between

Underlying the story Of "The Ghost
Between" is big idea. The old tri-
angle, complicated by a ghost--the
memory Of dead husbands given a
new and surprising twist.
Because Of the fact that this now play
combines in an unusual way the ele-
ments Of drama, comedy and farce, Vim
cent Lawrence, the author, has been
asked more than once If he started out
to write a serious play.
"Of course, did not start out with
the intention Of writing serious play!"
Mr.. Lawrence exclaimed, almost GROSSLY,
when seen at the Thirty-ninth Street
Theater last week. 81 started with the
twist, the punch, the one big moment,
the climax, the crucial situation up to
which everything leads and out of
which everything evolves.
"lf the first act is straight drama, a
big realistic scene Of human emotion,
it is because no audience could under
name only if they had not previously
witnessed the strong, emotional scenes
of the prologue.
III may fail in play after play, but
they will always be different. But
can tell from the way people laugh at
this piece that l have not failed this
time"
Mr.. Lawrence has already proved his
tendency to pioneer along unbeaten
paths. He is only thirty-one years old,
but seven Of his plays have been pro-
duced In stock, and he has had two
successful vaudeville sketches, notably
Frank Wilcox in "Sh!" and Burt Wilcox
in "In the Morning" The first Of these
Palace within a period of eight weeks.
The author broke into the field of legiti-
mate drama about four years ago, when
Fate Decides" was produced by Henry
w. Savage. Now he expects to have
three plays on Broadway within a year,
with Arthur Byron in "The Ghost Be-
tween" Wallace Eddingcr in Glove and
Learn" produced by George Cohan, and
Il musical romance for which Hugo
Riess=feld has written the music.
Mr.. Lawrence admits to being o Bos-
tonian, and the father of "thrce kids"
"You can add that was an editor for
three years on The Boston Traveller"
he said, being pressed for further and
more specific details.
II was fired from Andover when / was
seventeen years old, and have been
playwrting ever since. Why I wans-d
to land Broadway success I don't
know. My mother wanted to go on the
stage, 80 I suppose it Is Just natural
that l inherited bent in that direc-
ton
when the family lost their money
six years ago l became golf editor of
The Traveller for three years, being
somewhat of golf champion myself,
but three years ago I risked being
free lance"
