Mas. All of these paintings are
broadly rendered. brilliantly colorful
and at the same time atmospheric.
Miss Burdette seems to have caught
the spirit Of the flowers and to have
rendered them with exceptional skill
and charm.
There Is a vogue for flower painting
today. vogue greater than has been
since perhaps the days of the Little
Dutchman when flower pieces were
much priced. This may partly be ex.
planned by the fact that there is an
evident craving for color. and that
decorative compositions rather than
naturalistic ones are favored. 1t Is
vogue for which we may all be
grateful, for the flower paintings OF
today lend gayety to our current ex,
hibitions and beauty to our homes.
The French flower paintings Of sc
years ago were monuments Of tech
nical perfection, but they were essen
tally lifeless. they were like the arti
hcial flowers. wax or glass, of the
period. Then came the Dutch water
colorists with their scrub method, with
their Interpretation Of atmospheric eff
fects. From these two extremes have
been derived the flower paintings OF
today, vital, evanescent, colorful and
decorative.
1t should not be thought that flower
painting was ever discontinued. fol
! 1t was not. John LaFarge, one of the
greatest mural painters that we have
ever had. perhaps who ever lived. oc
casionally painted flowers and painted
them beautifully. So also did J. Alder
Weir. as witness the painting of roses
by him owned by the Phillips Memo
rial Gallery. The Corcoran Caller,
owns a number Of beautiful flower
paintings. among them one OF peonies
by the late Wilton Lockwood. To be
sure. all of these works are in a meas

Luke's Bush Proves
To Be Big Asset
In Films

In 1904, Luke Cosgrave, mana
ger of a legitimate stage stock
company in Boise, Idaho, sent to
San Francisco for a young leading
man named James Cruze.
In 1923, James Cruze, famous
Hollywood motion picture director,
sent to Salt Lake City, Utah, for
an old character actor named Luke
Cosgrave.
It was a reciprocal action. Luke
had helped Jim once; now Jim
could and did help Luke. He cast
Luke in the leading role in spe-
ciaL production called Hollywood"
They cemented their long-standing
friendship.
So Luke just stayed on in Holly
wood, and every time Cruze started
q picture, Luke came to visit him
at the studio. Since then, Luke
has been on the set of every Cruze
film on the first day of produc.
ton. Sometimes Luke played in it.
He would have played at least
bit in every one but for one thing
after Hollywood" Luke had
grown beard. Betty Compson,
Cruces wife, advised Luke that he
could get more work In Hollywood
with a, beard than without it, so
Luke grew one. He looked good in
it, he felt, so he left it on, even
if it did mean that he couldn't
play in every Cruze production.
The beard did give him one fine
'break'' - the leading role in
Cruces picture, welcome Home"
Luke's luxurianI. snow-white beard
waved throughout the picture,
and made him so well known as
''Hollywood's most famous beard"
that he left it on for good.
Cruze rewarded Luke's sacrifice
on the altar of cinematic art.
Luke appears in THE City Gone
Wild" which opens at the Rialto
today,
