Notes of Art and Artists

through reproduction, but the repro
ductions In this case are almost as
perfect as the originals. They are
done on tinted paper and have every
appearance Of original works. And
what marvellous portraits they are,
conserving the personality Of those
whom they represent and introduce
ing them to US of many generations
standing that is almost without
parallel. The opportunity Of seeing
the reproductions of these superb
drawings is indeed a great privilege.

pAINTINGS by Victor Charreton. a
young French artist, are now on
view at the Vandyck Galleries and
well deserve attention. James Brit
ton says of him in q foreword to a
catalogue published in connection
with his New York exhibition at the
Dudensing Galleries: He is one of
the sane figures in the art of modern
France, to whom even the confirmed
academic mind could not take excep-
tion." Mr.. Charreton is a luminist, a
true descendant Of Monet, Of Pissarro
in his viewpoint as any landscapist
of France, though tonally much re-
moved" His color harmonies are
high pitched. even higher pitched,
DOSSl-
BILE, than Monets- He breaks his color
with deft, short strokes, which give
movement and scintillation to his
canvases. 1t Is his habit to paint
with the knife rather than with the
brush. But the method does not sig
Nifty; it is the result-a result lovely
and at the same time cheering.
Charreton seems to be both tradi-
tional and up to date; to maintain the
reputation OF France for art of a sort

he has found a way Of his own. The

 FOR LYRIC MEET
Dr. Robinson To Speak Again At Theater Sun-

Doors of the Lyric Theater will open Sunday night promptly at z 80 o'clock for the second service of the fall sea son, under the auspices of the Mems club of the Independent Presbyterian church, with Dr. George l.. Robinson, professor of Biblical Literature and English Bible in Mccormick Theolog- ical seminary, again announced as the preacher. His subject will be Com parative Religion; or Why Christian ity is Worth Propagating."
 A special musical program, beginning at z :55 o'clock under the direction of J. P. Mcguire, will be featured by two selections by the mixed quartet: "The Lord is My Shepherd" (Regers) and 'I Heard The Voice of Jesus Say" (Gilchrist). and contra1to solo, ''I Come To Thee" (Roma), by Miss Re- becca Bazemore.
 The Mems club has appointed spe- cial committee for this service to look after the comfort of all who come and provide good seats and the crowd is ex- pected to be even larger than that which greeted Dr. Robinson last Sun- day night when he preached on "The Lords Prayer" especially as this will probably be the last oportunity to hear Dr. Robinson in Birmingham.

PLAN TO RALLY
 VOTES TO POLLS
League Of Women Voters Sponsoring Move In
 Alabama

A statewide movement, sponsored by the Alabama League of Women Voters in cooperation with civic and women's clubs. is being launched in an effort to assure representative vote at all elections. An invitation has been ex- tended to the head of every organiza- tion in Alabama of a statewide char acter, to meet in Birmingham Sept. IT, at the Tutwiler hotel when plans for the movement will be discussed
 Only about 49 per cent of the quail fled voters of the United States were at the polls at the presidential election of 1920, it is pointed out. Alabama is said to have voted less than 30 per cent.
 These figures arg declared to show the need for concerted movement of the kind outlined about and proves, it is stated, that the nation is being governed by a minority of the qualified voters.
 The program will include one talk by a speaker of note followed by a round table discussion. Those who will attend are urged to fill out cards at tached to the invitations and mail them to the Alabama League of Women Vot- CTS, Hillman hotel, Birmingham, so that the committee will be able to prepare the required number of places at the meeting. League officials hope to have at least one representative from each of the organizations in question in at- tendance.

COTTON LETTER

NEW YORK, Sept. 6.-The market was absolutely staRnapt today outside of little activity lon the opening from scattered buying orders placed in the market on account of the upturn in Liverpool. LiverpooI cables that the reason for their advance was due to the "sct that the south ceased offering of cotton on account of the bureau report coming on Monday. Further private l crop estimates gre beeinning to cut down the possible yield to around twelve and one-half million. This Is quite setback to the people who are so bearish, anticipating positively thir- teen million bale crop. We are glad to say that our Worth street friends phoned us this morning that there was great deal of business done in print cloths late yesterday afternoon and this morning and it looks as if there was great deal more business pending. This is decidedly optimistic and possibly nay be the beginning of retail buying and the movement of goods that have beep~on hand for the last four months. which will mean that when these goods are moved fresh orders must be placed l for new goods and the mills in turn must enter the raw cotton market. We | can safely say that there is a slight 1 shange in sentiment for the better in comparison to the very pesSimistic bear ish feeling that existed here at this time last week. It will be hard to say what the market will do on the gov ernment report but we rather have an idea that this report will show some of the serious deterioration that took place from the middle of August to the time the report was made up. We again call your attention Co the fact that the report is to be issued Monday at 12 o'clock noon daylight saving time. Liv- erpool futures are due on Monday:

DEMAND IS SLOW ( FOR COTTON GOODS
Print Cloths And Sheetings Ease Off Slightly

NEW YORK. Sept. e.-Demand for cotton goods has been halting again awaiting government crop report due on Monday and further assurance as to the holding power of current prices. Inquiries from large consumers have been persistent and with the great curtailment of the year beginning to be seen, merchants feel that there is . powerful denied demand behind tenn porarily quiet market. Print cloths. sheetings and some of the cenvertibles eased off in. price on the early days of the week but very few goods were offered out from second hands. Bleach ed goods declined without stimulating new sales. The situation in colored goods appears to be improving as many goods are being distributed below the cost of replacement. *e-
 Ginghams are still quiet and new prices are not expected to be made un- til next week or the week following. Percales are quiet. New lines of wash goods are being shown constantly and buyers still incline toward ordering novelties largely. The lack of a profit between cotton and cloth is still noted on many lines of goods and late con- tracting Is much smaller than usual at this time of the year. While several in. part 1t is believed that 35 per cent of the mill equipment is still unoccu- pied.
 Despite the smomentary quiet there Is a larger degree. of confidence in the trade due to the better wholesale and retail trade in different sections and the steady demand for small lots of goods for spot shipment. Prices current in primary markets are as follows: eos, 7c; 3s1s-inch 64xe4s, 9Kc; brown sheetings, southern standards, 15Nc; denims, 2.20c. 22c; tickings, Bounce, 26c; staple ginghams, 15c. nominal; i; prints, 10c; dress ginghams. 1s5ac and 21c nominal.
