in the theaters of New York "'the
first foreign city l visited,' to use
his own phrase, London and PaA.
The Spain of his travels was char
acterized principally in its relation
to the dance.
Nor were glimpses of the coun-
tries he visited neglected by Mr..
Williams, who blended in his main
theme. picturesque descriptive bits
of European settings which added
materially to vivid impression Civ
en- in his penetrating comments
Play houses and operas of the old
world, their offerings and audiences
were tersely characterized. The
beauty of Andalusia, the revival of
ancient. drama in Rome, the wealth
of fine musical and dramatic treas
ures offered by the four state aided
theaters of Paris, and the charm of
the English country side in autumn
when the speaker visited Stratford-
on Avon, were discussed in a vivid
impressionistic style.
Mr.. Williams talk, given in his
usual effective manner, was provoc-
ative of further thought on the
part of his audience, the brilliant
bits given by the speaker being sug
gestive of a wealth of absorbing
subjects which form a portion of
the artistic background of Europe
today.
Mrs. F.. D. Jacobs graciously in

able to present Mr.. Williams, in con-
nection with their years study

PRESS WANT AD SECTION
HALL OF FAME
TOO CONCESTED
FOR ADDITIONS.
By HARRY w. FRANTZ
United Press Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Jan. 5. The
threatened over-crowding of Statu-
ary Hall, pantheon of national he
roes, was called to congressional
attention when the Territory of
Hawaii filed legislative resolutions
with Congress asking that the privi-
lege of entrance be accorded to
statues of Sanford Ballard Dole
and Prince Jonah Kuhio Kalanian.
aole.
Special authorization for the
recognition of Hawaii s great men
would be required because under
the existing United States Statutes,
as well as established custom, only
the States have been permitted to
furnish statues.
The United Press correspondent
encountered sympathy among con
gressmen at the idea of recognizing
Hawaii's heroes, and it appears
probable that the necessary author
ization will be granted in due
course but the physical problem of
space is likely incidentally to be dis
cussed.
An official document soon to be
published will suggest three possi-
BILE means for more worthily accom-
modating the statues of the nation s
great. One suggestion is that the
display of the statues, now confined
to a single hall, may be extended
to the adjacent corridors of the
Capitol. A second is that crypt
cf large Dimensions be built in the
Capitol, and third that a separate
edifice be erected.
If the latter proposal should be
favored by congress, it has been
suggested that a separate room be
l,accorded to each state and terri
tory, where that state might dis
play one or two statues, as it chose.
Rhode Island First
| The present Statuary Hall is the
room formerly occupied by the
House of Representatives. 1t was
vacated in December, 1857. In Jan
uarv, 1864, Representative j. S
! Morrill, of Vermont introduced q
/ resolution proposing that it be used
rs a hall for statuary. This led
to passage of law on July >, 1864
authorizing the president to invite
all the states to furnish statues il
marble or bronze. not exceeding two
j in number, "of deceased persons
who have been citizens thereof, anC
jllustrious for their historic rcnowI
for distinguished civic or militar,
services, such as each state ma,
deem to lic worthy of national com
memoration.'
Such invitations were promptly
issued, bat five years elapsed be
fore the installation of the first
statue. that of Nathaniel Greene
presented by the state of Rhode
! island in 1870. The second statue
that OF Roger Williams was present
ed by the same state in 1872.
When the law was adopted there
were only about 35 states in the
Union. and it seemed unlikely that
the problem of congestion would
arise. At the present time there
are So statues in the Hall, the last
to enter being that of Alexander
! Hamilton Stevens, of Georgia, vice
president of the Confederacy, OF
whom statue in marble by Gutzom
Borglum was unveiled since the
present session of Congress con
| Vened.
