one of Los Angeles most promising
architects who has just finished pIas-
tic reproduction Of the facade of a
Spanish mission Of classic lines Mt the
Ray studio for Mr., Rays next picture.
Its extent and the fidelity to detail
employed in erecting it have aroused
admiring comment from the many Los
Angeles architects who have made spe-
cia visits to the Ray studio to see it..
On the other hand. no fewer than
eleven young painters deserted their
studios in the envrons of Los Angeles
this week to attend the private review
for artists only Of "R. s. V. p" the
latest Ray comedy melange of Fifth
avenue and Greenwich Village.
The artists cOmplimented Mr.. Ray
upon his skillful handling of his pa
lette. knife and brushes. Mr.. Ray,
they agreed. is evidently Of the i'm
pressionistic school as an artist for he
worked his knife more than his brush
in applying his Colors. in the style
most approved by every MOntmartre
and Boul Mich painter since D"gas.
