Patron Need
OfArchitect
So Declares Briton, Who
Cites United States
Advantage.

Sir Edwin Isutyens. the leading
architect of Great Britain. who re-
turned recently from India where
he has charge of the construction or
the great new government buildings
at Delhi. declared to a special cor
RESPONDENT of The Washington
Herald that architecture and the
architectural profession were more
fortunately situated in America
than in Great Britain.
Patronage creates architecture
and also architects" said Sir Ed
win 1T was Pericles. the states
man who was a patron OF the arts.
who created the Parthenon OF
Athens He made the architect pos
sible The Medici brought into be-
ing the architects and architecture
of Renaissance Florence. Charles
II was the cause Of Wren. So, to-
day. in America the wisdom and
munifcence OF your public bodies
and private men of wealth is max
ing possible the genius Of archi-
tects and the creation Of splendid
buildings. But in Great Britain no
such happy situation exists. We
cannot have great architecture
without great patrons Of it
Sir Edwin says that architecture
in Britain today is too greatly dom
mated by the spirit of advertise
ment.
People will have advertisement"
he says, at any cost and at any
sacrifice. II you look at the finest
work of the Greek period you will
find there the negation Of adver-
tisement: The Greeks strove for
simplicity. In America. in spite Of
the presence of the skyscraper, peo-
pie have discovered that if they
want dignity they must have their
buildings low. They have realized
that the sky is more beautiful than
architectural adornment. Here we
concentrate neither on the high nor
the low. We simply lay on orna-
ment and put up domes and fea-
lures"

Chicago Opera Stars Find
That Europe Is
"YalDning."

Europe was "captivated by futur-

sated: and now Is beginning to
yawn at it." So the situation was
summed up, according to Musical
America. by Andreas Pavley and
Serge Oukrainsky. premier dancers
and ballet masters of the Chicago
Opera when they disembarked from
the liner Lafayette recently after
a trip to France.

and The Hague. Besides seeing the
choreograhic presentations in the
leading opera houses. they wit
messed performances Of the dag

organizations. the Swedish Ballet
and the Danish Ballet which have
been entertaining Paris.
Everything. everywhere, of late
has bSch luhuIlsIl' even the CIdSSlC
ballet has been tinged with it
wherever possible said Mr.. PavIey
whose prowess with the English
language is greater than that of his
partner. SO that he generally is the
spokesman of the two. with the
smiling concurrence of Mr.. Oukrain-
sky.
We did not find anything in the
modern works We would care TO i'm

ly We decided to forsake the ultra
modern for renaissance. Miss Mary
Garden agreed with US in this de-
cision. and assisted US in discover

TRAVELLERS AIDFURNISHES
QUICK ASSISTANCE TO NEEDY
Mishaps of the Road Strengthened Out by Eff
cient Workers at Union Station.

! the branch was notified and the
children were looked after.
Have Trouble With Aliens.
A hornet nest of trouble is en-
countered by the booth attendants
when people of foreign nationalities
come for assistance. The usual
method is to take the party to some
nearby restaurant where a native of
almost any foreign country can be
found. The restaurant employees act
as interpreters and they translate for
the booth attendants. This has
solved many problems. A recent
case was: A small Chinese boy was
travelling from coast to coast under
the care of the Travellers Aid So
ciety.
Arriving at Washington he was
taken to a nearby restaurant but
refused to eat any food that was Of
fered him. AS the boy could not
speak English. the cook OF the res
taurant, who was a Chinese. was
brought forth. The boy spoke to
the cook and information was trans
lated to the attendants by the cook.
This is only one of the hundreds of
cases of foreigners whose troubles
are settled by restaurant employees.
y new method that is being
worked out Is having a table with a
number OF questions in every Ian
guage printed and this is expected
to end all trouble of this nature.
The Washington Travellers Aid
Society has helped more than 10000
people in various ways in the ten
months of its existence. They are
supported by voluntary contribu-
tions from people of Washington and
they need $4,000 to keep up the
booth at the Union Station for the
coming year. II the work Is to go
on that amount must be raised. Any
one wishing to contribute to the
fund should get in touch with Mrs
NJ. F. Van Ripper at the Union Sta
tion booth. 1t is strictly a local
branch and its continuance depends
upon the people OF Washington.
