such as to enable him to rise superior to

Albert BIoch's Thin
And Strange Hamlet

Albert Bloch's Is a strange talent and
the pictures he exhibits in the Daniel
Galleries will puzzle many. There ia n
picture of Hamlet that looks as though
IT were an illustration to Ignatius Dom
nelly's Baconian Theory rather than the
straight edition OF Shakespeare. It is
certainly cypheresque. Hamlet appears
TO be about ninety in the shade and the
too. too solid flesh that once he COM
planned of has now melted, leaving him
spare indeed. OF course some Hamlets
have age, much of 1t. and one Is sup
posed to overlook 1t for the sake OF the
fire and dash OF the impersonation--bu
Mr.. Bloch's Hamlet" puts q severe
strain upon the imagination. Or, posi-
bly. 1t is the First Grave Digger who is
discoursing upon poor Yorick's skui!
and that Is Hamlet in the middle of the
group. whom I at first took to be Mr..
John Marin. In any case he is power
fully thin and Mr.. John Marin always
did look like Hamlet, anyway.
Once away from these bewilderrnents
in regard to the casting OF tho play
there is a pleasure to be taken in the
painter like touch and In the evidence
of the struggle that is going on between
the various digits of Mr. Bloch's soul a
to which shall have final supremacy. Fc
says himself that he came under the
Influence Of zandinsky during his Euro
pean travels, and this influence Is ap-
parent occasionally in his canvnses.
There is the desire to be realistic TO be
fantastic and to be abstract. Mr.. Bloch
may continue to speak all these Ian
guages, celia Sc pent. or he may decide
to unite all his forces in one direction
later on. We see him still In process OF
formation.
At present there Is folk-lorish quail
ity about most OF this artists work.
Judging by his name 1t Is scarcely likely
that Mr.. Bloch is Irish. yet all his peas
ants and wayfarers and reapers In the
glen seem related to the Old Worldish
creatures that Synge and James Ste
phens published abroad. There Is some
thing elfin and aloof about his little
people and II Is no surprise after seeing
a few OF his pictures to note that the
test of them is Panr-or rather n
Faery Piper. since whatever Mr.. Bloch
is he certainly is not Greel--playing TO
some friendly and attentive animals.
People such as those that Mr.. Bloch
paints would be on intimate terms with
animals. And not that I wish you to
read anything between the lines or con-
trary 10 law but all Of these engaging
folk seem always to have bottle handy
and never sit at table unless a half
filled glass be on IL. That's merely
rrish I suppose. But at any rate 1t
contributes to the faraway and long ako
quality OF the pictures.

Notes and Activities
In the World of Art

The Manuel group OF painters and
sculptors, who work in the country ad-
jacent to the Tappan Zee on the west
bank OF the Hudson. are exhibiting In
the Babcock Galleries. The one gener-
alizatlon that may be made for this
group of painters Is that they all ex-
hibit the regular American tendency
toward pleasant color. The word pleas
ant Is chosen advisedly since II does
not commit one TO serious comparisons.
Few Americans positively offend In
color. but then on the other hand it
must be remembered that some men can
get more fame my offending with color
than others can with being "just good"
The main thing, you know. Is TO stand
out.
The Manuel group consists OF the fol-
lowing: John Il. Costigan. Sara Hess.

Cumbers. postmaster of Hahira, Georgia. who dropped out of sight the middle of last month. T. s. Stephens of this city is par tieularly interested in the search, as he knew MT Cumbers while boy.
 Owing to the fact that there is nc shortage in the postoffice books, and that his business affairs were in good shape, the mysterious disappearance of Mir Cumbers is causing his rela- lives and friends much alarm. He was gassed in France during the wal and. suffered from shell shock. It is believed he may have suffered re- lapse from these injuries which has caused a loss of memory.
