A committees composed Of Miss

MIR. Oliver of New Ellington and Mr.

ty play day to be held on May Z.
The two main events will be field
track meet and spelling contest.
DR. Thomas F. Paris gave a very
Interesting talk to the nigh school
Friday morning.
The freshmen gathered at the
school house Friday evening and
succeeded in having a party in spito
OF the strenuous objections Of the
upper classmen.
Several high school boys attended
the basket ball game between Peev-
err and Waubay at Peever Friday
It Is needless to say that their SYM
pathies were with Waubay.
The second number of the Lyceum
course occurred February Bird, when
DR.. Thomas f. Paris gave his
address, '.The Personal Equation,
Turnout his entire lecture DR.. Paris
emphasized the Importance of OPP
timism pointing it out as one of The
primary essentials OF success. I'm
like many speakers and writers OF
the present time he was convinced
that opportunity knocks not once
but knocks continually. Consequent
~ one failure should not discourage
US for it is only as the result OF
failures that anything worth while
is accomplished.
AS an example, he mentioned Ed
ison's photograph, which was the
result of seven thousand unsuccess-
tut trials. He stated that there j.
always room at the top and an OPP
portunity for anyone who is earnest
and determination to fill one of the
vacant places. Moreover the num-
her preparing for these higher posi-
ITEMS is comparatively small. Too
uas.ay OF US begin to think we're
tns old to accomplish anything, but
q tong % there Is life there can
u, 40 excuse for being idle. DIR. Paris
cited an instance of man Of more
than q hundred who was found
veeping. Upon inquiry 1t was found
thst the sorrow was due to a whip
ming received from his father be-
cAmse he had been throwing stones
81 his grandfather. 1t Is those peo-
ple who idle and waste time in var
iuus ways who are really dead. Ac-
curdiug to the speaker those who
wtsA they were dead will be dill
nich1es among the preserved In
Heaven. Our aim in life should not
DO definite. fixed goal. but limo
which provides for progress by Its
! cemtinual moving ahead.
Or. Paris was splendid speaker
aud was able to hold the attention
az MA audience throughout the en-
tin. address. This lecture was seri-
Gus ana worth while to all, espec-
ally to the younger. whose ideals
must have been raised by the re-
uaarks Of this earnest and expert
,.ealced lscturer. Lectures OF this tyne
certainly ought to be encouraged by
tho community.
The report cards were given Out
IN the high school Friday.

And He Is Not Yet Thirty

Few people who see Elmer Clifton in
"The Birth of Nation" realize what
he has done. Although he is SO young,
he has been in pictures for more than
decade. He played opposite Lillian
Gish in the big Griffith spectacle, and
opposite Constance Talmadgc in an
other Griffith success, intolerance"
lie also helped direct "The Girl Who
Stayed at Home" "'Wsy Down East"
and "Dream Street"
At the old Universal he directed Jack
Mulhall in three pictures, Herbert
Rawlinson in five, including his famous
Smashing Thru" and Priscilla Dean
in one, her first starring vehicle, "The
Two-Souled Woman" MT. Clifton dis
covered Miss Dean. "The Two-Souled
Woman" was adapted from Gelett Bur-
gess's story "The White Cat" 1t was
made at total cost of $4,000, $1,000
of which was paid for the story. The
production was made in eight days, yet
the picture made fortune, and, Incl
dentally, made Miss Dean famous.
With Mr.. Griffith, Mr.. Clifton direct
ed Dorothy Gish in her nine best
known and most popular vehicles, in
cluding Battling Jane" "The Hope
Chest" Boots" I'll Get Him Yet" and
Poppy Polly"
Mr.. Clifton was directing Bobbie
Harron in "The Brass Bowl" when that
stars tragic death occurred.
The first picture he ever made was
"John Barleycorn." Mr.. Clifton says
that it was in that picture that stills"
were first used.

The summer exhibition season is now
opening in the art galleries. Several
Of the latter have announced shows to
commence this week and continue
through the summer months. In each
case Is involved the work Of group
Of painters, mostly Americans and con-
temporaries. While tiding over q
period Of lessened activity. the CALLER
les thus plan to provide exhibitions Of
representative scope and character for
the special benefit Of summer visitors
who may be interested more in the
broader activities OF the home school
than in the work of any particular in
dividual.
At the Kraushaar galleries there has
been put on the walls collection by
twelve contemporary American artists.
This exhibition, which will remain
/, until the close of next month, has in it
1 much Of interest and artistic distinc-
tiou. There is, for example, an ex-
tremely good landscape by Ernest Law
son of most delicate and velvety quail
| ity, showing vista of low fields in
soft greens and yellows and limpid
stream winding through them. A meri-
torious example by Prendergast, park
scene of vague beauty and animation,
is shown, together with character
istically decorative exterior and figure
study by Arthur B. Davies. Just as
the latter draws a sharp line between
his central subject and it's background,
the preceding artist brings all his ele-
ments together in sympathetic COM
bination.- There are, too, other ex-
tsrior studies by Halpert, Myers,
Kuehne and Kroll. The "Circus Pa
rade," by Clifford Beal, and John Sloan's
early work, Moving Pictures" are
akin in their appeal. BotA are imbued
with human interest. There is a rem
iniscent note of romance in the latter
sxample-the dingy little picture house
with it's character types SO vividly
handled.
1 George Luks exhibits q spirited por
trait of q boy, and there is a foyer study
painted by Du Bois involving an inter
esting note in perspective and showing
inventiveness in composition. "Three
Listeners" by Vincent Tack, is in that
PAINTERS early style. He has pictured
three medieval types in the manner
and method suggested by the early Eu-
ropean masters. In another room is
seen group Of etchings by Mahonri
Young. Their subject is taken from
the Southwest, with one or two excep-
tions. The most notable of the latter
is a. reclining figure study in fine, free
style and of excellent craftsmanship.
An altogether picturesque type brought
forward in the plates of the mesa coun-
try is the Hopi woman goatherd, which
the etcher interprets with close appre-
citation.
New-York tribune., 1921-06-12

that he was tho greatest pianist that
ever played 1t Is impossible to I'M
agine Moiseiwtsch making a mistake
in the sense of playing wrong note. l
do not suppose that Moseiwitsch Ia
so great musician as Rubinstein--I
think he does not pour his whole soul
into his piano, as Rubinstein must
have done to have left such an impress
sion on the world--but Moiseivitsch is
master of the piano in the sense that
Velasquez is master of paint or Lloyd
George master of the spoken word or
Carpenter of the boxing game.
1t is not possible to believe that
man can achieve such miracles in the
production of sound, more variable than
the ever-changing color of the sea,
until one had heard Moiseiwitsch play
for couple of hours or more, with
only two or three brief breaks.
Kitchener, it was said, "cut out his
heart and made himself machine for
the conquest of the Sudan" Moisei-
witsch, imagine, cut out his heart and
made himself a machine for the con-
quest of the piano. He has won vic
tory after victory, and now, like Alex
ander, he must yearn for new worlds to
conquer. There seems nothing in the
art of piano playing that Moiseiwitsch
cannot do. He is only thirty one, but
he has been an accomplished pianist for
more than twenty years! He won the
Rubinstein prize at Odessa University
when he was nine. Now it is held that
he is the worlds master player.
Moiseiwitsch is not theatrical per-
former. He sits bolt upright most of
the time. while his hands fly about the
keyboard with the lightness and quick
ness of shuttles. Now and then The
rhythm of the music becomes part of
him and his head bends and sways as
he sweeps the music from the machine
His hands soar high in front of him
and crash with the scientific accuracy
of steam hammer that can be graded
to smash steel bar or to crack an
egg; or his fingers stroke the keys so
softly that the resulting notes are as
gentle as the tinkling of brook.
Nor does he accomplish his miracles
without physical exertion. l say moth
ing of the astounding mental labor Of
remembering all the music he played
in two hours-much of it extraordi-
narily dificult-but merely the output
of physical energy. He found it nee
essary after each piece to take out his
handkerchief and mop his forehead,
and after one long exhibition of magic
he retired from the stage while an at
tendant came in and wiped the piano
keys. 1t was not surprising that at
the finish a large part of the audience
advanced in mass to the front Of the
hall and compelled Moiseiwitsch to play
two or three extra selections.

A Notable Gift
Italy Presents a Van der weydea
to Belgium
By Agnes r. Mackenzie

ROME, May 4-Thrse months aga
the Belgian government presented. TO
Italy a painting by Paolo Veronese
representing "Juno Dispensing the
Lands in Vendetta" This painting was
one Of the many taken away by Ma
poleon and hung in the gallery at Ant
werp. 1t was due to the present Bel
gian Minister of Fine Arts, Destree,
great friend of Italy, that the painting
was returned to its former place in an
art gallery in Italy. It now hangs IN
the Academy of Fine Arts in Venice.
The Italians were so touched at Bel
GUMS generosity that it was proposed
that valuable painting should be pre-
sented to Belgium. The difficulty was
to choose a suitable one. At first IL
was suggested that the portrait by
Antonio Moro should be donated, but as
this had been left in legacy to Venice
by Count Contarini it would have beer
difficult matter to obtain permission
from the various ministries concerned
and the matter might have dragged on
for years. AS the Venetian Academy
had benefited by the gift, it was finally
decided that painting which had been
bought with public money should be
chosen. This painting, portrait of
Lorenzo Fraimont, by Roger van der
Weyden, is considered fine specimen
of Flemish art and worthy of the gen.
erous people of Belgium.
In the presence of the Italian Min
ister of Fine Arts, Benedetto croce,
and leading artists the portrait was
presented to Minister Destree, who aes
cepted it in the name OF his countrys
men. This painting formed part of
private collection in 1856, when it was
bought with money raised By public
subscription. 1t is in Van der Wey-
denis best style, with its dark three
quarter figure, clearly drawn on
dark background. Although it is
monochrome, 1t is full of light and
