| An appreciative audience listened to
the concert given in the Community
! Church on Tuesday evening of last
week, and hearty encores were given
to each of the artists, who rendered
their parts in such pleasing manner.
The program opened with selections
| from the Haydn Quartet, Opus 6,
played by the Palisades String Quar-
tet-frst VIOLIN Dorothy Donaldson; ;
second violin, Francis Stanley; viola,
Ernest Multaler; cello, Frances Har-
ris.
This, the debut of the Palisades
Quartet, marked triumph for it in
it's perfect unison, quality of tone and
expression, which did full justice to
its beautiful numbers, brilliant tone
and delicacy being especially notice
able in the minuetto and finale and
the Wiegenlied.
Miss Vivien Donaldson displayed
wonderful tone with her large concert
harp, especially in the liquid notes of
the song without words, in the dash of
the scherzno and in Tam O'Shanter,
Miss Dorothy Donaldson played with
her usual individuality of feeling and
finished technique Her beautiful tone
was especially effective in The Gypsy
Serenade and in Paradise

popular songs and then in the operatic
selections, which were sung in Ital-
ian, especially for that part of the
audience which was of that national
ity, and they heartily appreciated it.
The ACCOMPANYING were sympa-
thetically played by Leon Klingberg.
A pleasing feature of the evening
was the impromptu violin solo of
Home, Sweet Home" in response to
request by some in the audience on
this the anniversary of that immortal
song
The platform, artistically decorated
with palms and daisies through the
courtesy of Hans Rossmerkel of Hud-
son Heights, made a beautiful back
ground for the artists, they with the
big golden harp making beautiful
picture in the pretty hall of the new
church.
An intermission of few minutes
between the two parts of the pro
gram gave the audience opportunity
to patronize the tables of pretty arti-
cles on sale and for social time with
the artists, and the whole affair was
most enjoyable, bringing out many
expressions of pleasure. Miss Vivien
Donaldson, who managed the enter
tainment, received bouquet of white
and purple lilacs.

ON WORLD COURT
Senator Robinson Fails to See Why
Proposal Should Excite Vio-
lent Opposition.

Senator Robinson of Arkansas, demo-
cratic leader of the Senate has given
out statement indorsing President
HardinSs plan for adhesion of the
United States to the international
court of justice.
question as to whether the United
States should enter the permanent
court of international Justice should
phaVe become an issue SO acute as to
threaten sharp division of sentiment
in the United States" the statement
says. My personal opinion is that no
harm can result to the United States
from such course, and ii is the least
that we can do if we propose to take
any action looking toward co-opera-
tion with other governments for the
promotion Of international peace and
good will. No Objection suggests it
self to ME to an arrangement through
which the United States may partici-
pate in the selection of judges.
THAT the Importance of the whole
issue. however, is being exaggerated
must be manifest when it is pointed
out that the permanent court of in
ternational justice has no juriSdic-
ton Of the subject of reparations, or
OF any other vital issue that really
disturbs political or economic condi-
tionS in Europe. The effect of the
United States joining the court will
be TO strengthen the confidence of the
world III the tribunal and to give as
Surance to mankind that our people
are not unalterably committed TO the
policy of refusing to cooperate with
other peoples in the determination

perfect is the tout ensemble.
The fact that Don Felice arranges
special musical scores for the photo
dramatic part of the Palace pro-
grams adds considerably to their en-
tertaining value. The music of Don
Felicc becomes the voice of the screen.
TIE screen action is either emphasized
or lightencd according to the direc-
tors wish. Where the psychic tone
of the picture is heavy there will be
used heavy music, and SO on, through
out the whole picture. Ordinarily
musical conductors employ one theme
throughout motion picture, but
with Don Felice, he is not satisfied
to secure only one point of the at
mosphere. he often uses three themes
in one picture.
Aside from the musical accomplish
ments of Don Felice the Palace pre-
ludes, or, as some call them, pro-
logues, attest to the celebrated con-
ductor's versatility. He has proved
himself an able and talented stage
craftsman. The artistry with which
the first prelude was staged will re-
main a vivid thing in 'the memories
of local theater-goers. San Antonio
may well anticipate. series of mag
nificent productions from Don 'Felice.

E. {. Burritt Winning Place
" as Texas Landscape Artist

when spring brings the wild flowers
in profusion.
Mr.. Burritt received his first art
training at Cornell University Mt Uti-
ca, n. Y. Later on at Auburn, where
he lived, Frank Bonner, one of the
fine artists of the East, gave him in
struction. Mr.. Bonner had just re-
turned from Paris where he had tax
en- instructions from the masters,
Boulanger and Lefebre. Landscapes
were Mr.. Burritt's chief study and he
painted whenever time permitted.
When he came to San Antonio six
years ago, he went to an art exhibit
in Carnegie Hall. Here he first saw
bluebonnet pictures and was attract
ed by their charm and delicate color
ing.
He began to study the bluebonnets
and landscapes in which the blue
fields dominated the foreground. For
six years he has watched the blue
bonnet fields and this observation has
resulted in finding that bluebonnets
do not always grow in the same
places. Alamo Heights. the Blanco
road and the Bandera road are the
best places to find the flowers, Mr..
Burritt said, but some years they will
practically disappear from their ac'
customed places.
Takes Painstaliing Work.
Bluebonnet scenes require a great
deal OF time to complete, the artist
said. Mr.. Burritt usually takes his
family out for an all-day picnic. While
the children play about the fields
Mr.. Burritt sketches the general out
line of the landscape, puts in the
dominating colors and shading. II
day he can outline two pictures. AZ
home in his studio or at his studio a
POS Houston building, he then start:
on the hard task of putting in each
bluebonnet. Each flower must bt
gone over three times. and between
each time the paint must dry. II
this way it may be seen that the pic,
lures are not made hurriedly but take
many days of painstaking work.
Mr.. Burritt has found that blue
bonnets range from pale blue to pur.
! pie red, and the pure blue which j:
so common. This year he predict;
with the heavy rains and warm win
ter that wild flowers will come out in
| greater profusion. than ever.

HAVE RIM FACTORY
Detroit Manufacturer Will Locate on
Hot Wells Car Line.

A factory for converting automobile
rims into collapsible rims, making it
possible to change tires in a very few
minutes, will be established in San
Antonio, near Hot Wells, within the
next sixty days, according to an
nouncement Saturday by Z. NJ. Crane,
former Detroit manufacturer, who
is visiting at the home of Mr.. and
Mrs. Charles Payne on East Wood
lawn.
Mr.. Crane stated that he had sc.
cured a factory building from Hull
Youngblood on South Presa street, op.
posite the Southern Steel Company
and that The Gulf States Simplex Rim
Company shortly will be incorporated
with a capitalization of 100000. Mos,
of the capital stock, he said, has beer
subscribed. No officer of the com
pany is to draw a salary and all agents
are to be paid on the commission basis
Mr.. Crane is well known in Detroit
where for many years he was head o.
the Pelton-Crane Company, manufac
turers of medical and dentai electrical
goods. During the war his company
! supplied a major portion of their prod
ucts to the Allied governments. Re
Gently, he disposed of his interests il

patent rights of an automobile collap

was while on a visit here that he dc
cided to locate a factory in San An

Mr.. Crane believes that there is
big market for his product. In tn
five states, he says, there are NOR
than four million automobile rim

Alamo Heights Mans Pic
lures Eagerly Sought by
Collectors With Demand
for Blue Bonnet Fields
Greatest. j. r.

Working In a quiet and unassum-
ing manner, a San Antonio artist has
gained for himself an enviable place
in the world of pictures by transfer
ring the spirit of the Southwest to
canvas in way that few are able
to do. He is little known at pres
ent in the city, yet his pictures have
found their way to Europe and the
art centers of the East.
He is Edwin c. Burritt. 125 Ken
nedy avenue, Alamo Heights, who
came to San Antonio six years ago
from New York where he had studied
art under the best of instructors. He
was attracted by the natrual beauty
of San Antonio and the vicinity and
has not had to 60 far to find admir-
able landscapes for his work.
Because art collectors and those
who buy pictures for their homes are
partial to bluebonnets, Mr.. Burritt
had painted a great many pictures
with bluebonnet fields dominating the
canvas. Yet, he likes to paint those
| typical landscapes of Texas which
show the scrawny oaks and the mes
quite and in this, he has done excel
| lent work.
Many persons have admired his pic
lures in the Hertzberg windows or
Houston street without knowing who
the artist was. During the winter
many tourists from the North anC
East have purchased the pictures dis.
played in the windows and Mr.. Bur.
rift has been handicapped by lack Of
bluebonnet covered hills to fill the
demand.
Ready for Bluebonnets.
When his children brought home
two or three bluebonnet blooms which
they had found in sheltered hooks on
Alamo Heights last week, Mr.. Bur.
rift began to prepare to take advan-
tage of every opportunity to paint
