this hummer. cThis WHAT from
GoSden)
Like to sit in at a rubber of
bridge. Wife plays about as rotten
as I do, so we have peaceful parties
I read three newspapers every day,
scanning the heads and reading the
stories that interest me. Macdonald
is the Premier of Great Britain and
heads the Labor party"
Hey. hey" from Gosden; Il get
it. I get it
Don't mess r7id dis. :" Correll
goes into character for the quote
and resumes:
Like the comic strips lot; you
know, Sydney Smith. creator of
The Gumps, lives upstairs. =.
I don't pay much attention to sports
except baseball; wouldn't go across
the street to see a prize fight. Don't
get much time to read books;
haven't any favorite authors. Vote
every election; independent in poll
tics favorite beauty type Is
my Wife"
Praises Mrs. COrrell
''That goes for me, too -
from Gosden going out the door
with CorreI. He runs back for a
quick "good-by" as Mrs. GoSden re-
turns to the room. "Stick around if
you like. Be back in an hour" The
door slams and the quiet room takes
on a new air; more sedate as the
hostess presideS alone.
She smiles softly at the boys kid
ding; likes the lively pace they set.
TOO bad Marie couldn't come
over. You'd like her" And then,
"oh, she's very pretty, blonde, you
kIfow, and a swell dresser. Charles
awfuIly good to her, and she de-
serves it. Marvellous cook"
Her crepe dress folded softly, its
proper" length draped just below
the knees. Slender, dignif1ed, she
spoke with a soft, clear, low voice,
an unstudied drawing room accent,
using odd phrases, choice adjectives;
a Denver girl.
"Of course, it's all very wonderful
to us, this success of the boys. But
Marie and I always knew they'd get
some sort of recognition some day,
although we never dreamed it would
be so great.
IT think what bothers lis wives
most is that they never get vaca-
ton now. They must be f1fty-two
weeks on the air and twice a night.
They are also away good share of
the time in the Office writing the
episodes"
Wife Listens In
thirty. She went to the radio
and set the dial, Bill Hays Amos
n Andy in person" Listening
in with Mrs. Amos took on an
added glamor.
I'VE always tune in Mrs. GoSden
said. You see, Marie and l never
know beforehand what the episodes
are. The boys never discuss their
plots and sequences with us and we
never ask them. 1t would sort of
spoil the fun, like reading ahead in a
novel. I don't remember missing a
night in the last six months"
The f1fteen-minute broadcast end
ed. Then minutes more of pleasant
talk. Her ideas? Viewpoints? Atti-
tude? Well, they matched Free
mans. He'd be here in a moment.
The key in the door announced
him and Charlie" 1t was luck to
have stuck around" Both were
expansive; the act had gone well.
More comment was to spice these
first impressions.
And this further comment?
Douglas Gilbert will conclude the
Amos m Andy interviews Thurs
day with closeup of the boys,
Eau natureI."

curing knowledge which win enable the student
to paint with skill and freedom.
In no school Is the genius numerous but the
average of work exhibited by students OF the
Corcoran School of Art this year gives indica-
ton of O high level of talent and exceptionally
good instruction. Some beautiful painting has
been done by the students from the nude
model from still life and in portrait classes
painting which shows knowledge Of corstrue-
ton and genuine appreciation Of the beauty
of fine color In fact, IN drawing, as well as IA
painting, color seems to have been kept con-
tinuously in mind, and interpreted by well re-
lated values.
Drawings from casts by students show q real
mastery Of craftsmanship correctness Of OUT
line, subtle modelling, artistic maSsing OF light
and shade. The life drawings, on the other
hand, are no less skillful, and in addition evil
dence consideration Of the element of motion.
An interesting section of this exhibit Is that
devoted to compositions by students, original
interpretations Of such dramatic themes as
shipwreck, the appearance of the ghost to
Macbeth, etc.
When Charles Plat and Royal Cortissoz
visited the Corcoran Gallery during the past
season and inspected the work of the students
of the school they heartily commended the way
in which fundamental principles Of craftsman
ship were taught and praised without reserve
ton the high standard upheld therein.
The sculpture class, which was organized by
and is under the instruction of Carl Nose,
makes an exceedingly brave showing with full
size portrait heads, full-length figures, half size
or less, and little spirited sketch compositions,
as well as animal heads for decorative purposes.
These students are taught not only to model III
wax and clay but to make their own moldG
and cast their own works. They are all enthusi-
astic workers and the achievement is excellent
Associated with Mr.. Baker in the work OF
instruction are. besides Mr.. Nose, Mrs. l. NJ.
Leisenring and Eugen WeiSE.
IN interesting contrast, but also on high
level of merit is the work done by the stu
dents of the National School of Fine and Applied
Art of which Felix Mahony is director. This
school trains those who purpose specializing
in what is known as commercial art-art used
In connection with advertising, in costume de-
sign, in interior decoration. The students are
taught the Hambidge theory and are required
to make personal application after acquiring
or while acquiring q knowledge through indi-
vidual research of the design Of various nations
In the past This research is conducted under
tutelage in the National Museum and other
public collections here IN Washington.
The display of posters by students IN this
school who have had only eight months of
instruction and practice was little short Of

Englishmen, Frenchmen and in some instances
Russians But most of the subjects portrayed
are Americans and how extraordinary Is the
portrayal! Whether not it was the inten-
ton Of the artist to caricature the newcomers
from the West, or whether the newcomers
really appeared to them SO grotesque and I'M
lovely, it is hard to say, but the fact remains
that the works are caricatures. In this collec-
ton one sees American merchants and marines,
American statesmen and diplomats, looking
more or less like amiable monkeys dressed up in
Western clothes, with their fair ladies beside
them. quite as grotesque and quite as unlovely
as they who appear in the comic strips Of today.
And these ventureSome and heroic individuals
are represented under all kinds of circum-
StanceS-riding and driving having tea, enter
tanning, even watching a balloon ascend.
There is one extremely interesting print by
Hiroshige II Of imaginary American city,
which evidences a certain knowledge Of the
French chateau style and which foreshadows
the design Of present-day apartment houses
One series Of these prints is devoted to the
presentation Of distinguished inventors, more
or less comically set forth The inventor, for
instance, of the knitting machine is seen IN
angry alteration with his wife, who, with a
half finished stocking in her hand, is evidently
protesting against the loss of her occupation.
Another Is of the inventor of spinning ma
chinery, whose wife has broken his model. A
third, strangely enough, is of Audubon, with q
Carlyle, as the author of historical work on
the French Revolution, which is symboli1ed by
flames.
All Of these prints are essentially in the style
of the masters of the great school of Ukiyo-ye,
but none Is a masterpiece, none comes up to
the work Of the founders of this school, who
by that time had passed. Enormously enter
tanning, they show the popular art Of the period
and give more than an inkling of the attitude
of the Japanese to the friendly invaders from
the West. It is Q collection which finds en-
inently suitable placement in the art depart
ment OF our national library.
WITNESSING to the close Of the art season
are the current exhibitions of student
work set forth by the several art schools.
The school Of the Corcoran Gallery OF Art,
Of which Burtis e. Baker has been acting
principal during the past year, includes work
In painting, drawing and sculpture. The pur-
pose Of this school is the instruction of artists
those who intend to make a profession of paint
ing Sculpture-the so-called fine arts. The
work set forth consists of drawing from casts
and from the living model, with the intention
Of gaining facility IN craftsmanship and &C

BYRD POLE FILMS
REACH NEW YORK
Capt. Mckinley, Who Accom-
panied Plane Over South
Pole, Ends Journey.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, April 21.-Capt. Ashley
c. Mckinley, aerial surveyor of the
Byrd expedition, returned here yester-
da- with the negatives of an air map
of 10000 square miles of Antarctica
and a vivid recollection of ''ticklish
moment or two" on his flight with Rear
Admiral Richard E. Byrd to the South
Pole.
Capt. Mckinley came here by train
from San Francisco, having arrived on
one CT the steamers which left Duncan,
New Zealand, shortly after the arrival
OF Byrd and his comrades.
He said that he used 40-pound
camera pointed from the windows OF
the tri-motored monoplane, Floyd Ben
nett, to snap the South Pole at the
moment Admiral Byrd dropped the
American flag weighted with stone
from Benefits grave.
He made a continuous pictorial rec
ord of the historic flight from the
moment of the take-off at Little Amer
lea to the time of the return when
wireless towers doomed ahead and all
danger had passed.
The crisis" on the trip to the pole
came he declared, when the Floyd Ben
nett failed to gain altitude over the
Axle Heiberg Glacier and food was
dumped to enable Bernt Balchen, the
pilot to lift the plane to pass between
towering mountains
The plane went up splendidly," he
said, and we cleared the peak with
about 200 feet to spare. Ahead of us
was plateau and we sped smoothly
for the pole. The admiral was taking
sights and we were all so darned busy
with our special jobs that We would not
have known we we're at the pole If the
admiral had not dropped the flag. The
return flight was without incident"
