thing simple and pleasant. This one
finds in innumerable charming land
scapes and still lifcs, not the least i'm
portant of which Is Miss Petersons
rich "Zinnias." A distinctly feminine
touch for decoration and arrangement
is seen throughout the show, and this
is emphaUzed in Matilda Brownies
"Blue and Cold still life of flowers
and in the small painting Lionel and
Clsrissa," by Claude Racquet Hirst.
This little painting of an old book and
pieces of pottery received second hon
orablc mention. In landscape Harriet
Lord shows marked ability in "Hillsde
and Marsh" an especially pleasing
work in smooth, warm tones, and in
her END of Town" Alice G. Locke has
made good composition OF strag-
Cling group of houses. Other good
works are Irma Kohn's From Hill to
Hill" Francis I. Neill's placid, gray
marine, Elizabeth H. Inghams crayon
figure drawing, snow scenes by Ann
Crane and an extremely decorative
design of dancing figures by Mrs.
Anna r. Brewster. The small marble
nude. "Flower Of the Earth" by Mamma
Mathews Bryant, and Harriet w.
Frishmuth's interesting figure for an
automobile radiator cap are note
worthy sculptures. "My Grandmother"
by Alexandria r. Harris, is the deli
cate little miniature painting which
received honorable mention in this
class. There is whole roomful of oil
sketches, wood blocks, ctchings and
Autographs, which lend sense of COM
pleteness to the show, comprising alto
gether 286 specimens.
The Wanamaker gallery is holding
an exhibition of decorative paintings
and prints Of the old French, Italian,
Spanish and English schools. At the
Hotel Majestic there are bird and
flower subjects. painted by Alberto
Buccini.
The collection of paintings by Louise
Upton Brumback at Mrs. Sterner's gal
lery contains some gay garden scenes,
several brilliant floral still lifes and
coastal subjects. Her color, which is
the dominating note throughout, varies.
It's expression is altogether warm in
series OF blossoming orchard trees
and towering dooryards. In her dec
orative flower paintings, such as
"Dahlias" and "The jug Of Flowers" it
is intensified to a degree. In "The
Harbor" she extends her vision to take
in a bird's-cye view of a coastal town
and its peighboring waters. Here it
is patterns that concerns her, and she
uses many colors in fat, contrasting
planes. The composition is we'll con-
dcnsed and certainly an interesting
study in grouped architectural forms,
even though its color is dull.
An exhibition Of water colors by
Ruston Vicaji is open at the Enrich
gallery, where the show of Colonla!
portraits by Charles Wilson Peale and
his contemporaries also continues. The
Galcrie Intime displays decorative
paintings by Miss Dorothea Litzingcr.
At the Ainslie gallery there are North
and South American paintings by Miss
Rachel Hartley.
The extensive exhibition of modern
SCULPTURE, water colors and drawings
Displayed in the ballroom Of the Colony
Club reminds one of continuation OF
the Independent show. 1t is, however,
restricted on the whole to higher class
attainments. Though there is plentiful
evidence of extreme modernism, enough
specimens of more widely appreciated
character are on hand to make visit
resting. They are particularly rest
fu! and entertaining moments when
one encounters Robins nude studies in
crayon, or Boardman Robinsons bits OF
grim realism, or Kent's wood cuts, or
Davies's and Sterners eloquent figure
studies. One stumbles gratefully upon
Augustus Johns exquisite water colors
and the unusual charcoal nude Of
Renoir. Otherwise, excepting many at
tractive sculptures, the show is much
the same as others which the modern
lists have been putting forth Of late in
campaign proportions. Altogether
there are more than $50 specimens of
various kinds which fill the available
space to overfowing and materially
lessen their chances of appreciation.
Several intensely decorative sculptures
are shown, notably Nadelmann's stays,
Lachaise's peacocks and the horse
group of peculiarly stalwart and re-
fined proportions sent by John Storrs.
An amusing likeness Of Muirhead Bone
by Epstein, gamboling goats by Laura
Gardin Fraser, charming bust por-
trait by Arnoldo de Chene and Robert
Laurent's Mother and Child" are other
interesting sculptures.
A small gallery has been set aside
at Wiidenstein's for showing Of sculp-
ture and drawings by 10 Davidson. The
ensemble is really an excuse to present
the recent portrait Of Anatole France,
which the sculptor recently brought
back from France, and a new group
of H0ure aketches in crayon The other
