Random Impressions
In Current Exhibitions

Several groups of painters, sculptors
and craftsmen who represent certain
tendencies in modern art in New York
have examples Of their work on display
at the Belmaison gallery at Wana-
makers. These groups might be de-
scribed as modern, more modern and
most modern, for they vary from ex-
amples that permit visual interpreta-
tion to the type that arc difficult Of in
depreciation at all, except, perhaps, by
the artist who made them and his
school. The best showing is made by
Albert Sterner's Autographs. paintings
by Leon Kroll and the woodcuts by
Rockwell Kent; while Hunt Diederich's 8
decorative subjects, Grace Mott John
sons animal sculptures and George
Biddle's South Sea subjects are all bet
ter than the rest. A notable exception
is Robert W. Chanley's jungle compost
tion, which is fanciful painted deco
ration showing practically all the ami

on the fence between tie modern and

Opera Has Too Much Bluff,
Dorothy Jardon Complains

Dorothy Jardon, the American prima
donna, will be the headline feature at
the Palace Theater this week. Miss
Jardon says that there is too much bluff
about grand opera, and when an inter
viewer suggested recently that great
singers should live on birdseed and
honey and not talk before a perform
ance in order to save their voices, she
remarked.
"Give me spaghetti and ravioli and
let me talk my head off before going on
the stage if have some one to talk to.
Hurt my voice to talk before singing
That's another one Of those fool grand
opera ideas. 1t doesn't hurt your voice
if you know how to sing. I am not
afraid of the cold wind, either. l am
not afraid Of anything. Haven't sung
in a company managed by Mary

''Nemesis" Bears the Finger
Prints of Augustus Thomas

When Augustus Thomas writes a
play he can invariably be depended
upon to have something interesting to
say, aside from the mere providing of
worth while entertainment in the thea
ter. Nemesis" his latest work, is no
exception to the rule.
It has been called "a propaganda
play" It is much more than that.
Nemesis" is really an up-to-the-min-
ute society drama in which Mr.. Thomas
has many vital things to say that
have nothing whatever to do with the
much discussed "ingerprint theory"
True, the play is powerful argument
against the misuse Of fngerprint evil
dence in criminal court procedure. An
object lesson is also provided in the
exposition Of what may be accom-
plished by faxed evidence Of identif-
cation framed by an unscrupulous and
resourceful criminal.
This may be propaganda, but it is
only incidental to the real story of
Nemesis" As in ''The Witching
Hour" and "As Man Thinks" the
playwright has introduced material
that gives the playgoer something to
think about in the way of popular
scientific topics.
The whole fngerprint idea could be
eliminated from "Nemesis" without af-
fecting the play materially. This story
of modern Malatesta would still be
powerful enough to provide thrills
aplenty. There are many other points
in the play that have nothing to do
with the discussion Of criminology. But
let the play speak for itseif-it tells
more than pages Of description would.
For instance, the opening dialogue of
the first act may we'll be quoted as the
keynote to the main idea OF the plot.
