M0Uing Picture Schools

Some of the most unusual schools in the
world are to be found within the walls of
motion picture studies in California Accord
ing to State law, children must go to school
until they are 10 years of age. and lere are
quite a few young actors and actresses who
have not yet reached that age. Among them
are not only the Child stars with whom you
are all familiar, but many girls who @ng and
dance in musical productions.
To take care of these pupils, the large studios
have building fitted up with class rooms. and
one or more teachers. The strange thing about
these schools, however, is that one day there
may be 20 or 80 pupils ranging in age from 6
to 16, and the next day there may be only three
or four. 1t all depends on the players that are
being used IN the scenes of the pictures that
are being 'shot" on that particular day. When
needed, the Los Angeles Board of Education
sends out special teachers to take care Of the
class work.
In some Of the studios there also nurser-
les to care for the babies who often appear I'm

hearts content when the cameras not
grinding and be just as comfortable though
they were at home in their own play roomA

all the machines must work. No wonder that
we call this the machine age"i But don't
forget this: even the best of these machines
need men to operate them-human minds to
guide them, to keep them running, to start
them again when something goes wrong. And
If it had not been for the genius of certain hui
man inventors we never would have had these
machines at all.
Whenever you get an opportunity, visit
newspaper plant and see these machines in OPP
Grafton. Until then you can hardly realize just
how wonderful they are.

The more extreme modernists are apt to tarry
in Santa Fe rather than go on to Taos finding
subjects there to their liking and congenial
atmosphere. John Sloan, for example, last year

or SPECIAL INTEREST in this particular
exhibition, as in most of the exhibitions Of
contemporary American art held during the
last 10 years, are the works of group Of artists
who paint part if not all Of the year in Taos
New Mexico.
Taos lies north of Santa Fe about 20 miles
and it rs nearly twice this distance from the
nearest railroad station. 1t is surrounded by
mountains, an old Indian settlement with the
1nd1an pueblo still one of its chief features
The life and surroundings of Taos are essen
Tally picturesque, and it is this life and these
surroundings which for the most part members
OF the Taos Society of Artists have interpreted
BY some, their works are considered illustra-
tive, but the greatest paintings of all time have
been of this character
And 1t is interesting to note that in most
instances the Taos artists have profited by those
innovations made by modernists such as sim
plif1cation Of design and use of strong color,
but have welded these new laws to meet their
own needs and purposes Take for example
the striking still-life painting "Zinnias," by
Victor Higgins, which meets the eve of the Wis

steps, opposite which it is hung in the atrium

that the attendance on both these occasions

the large portion of the population of Washing
ton has to enjoy the works Of art in the Cor
coran Gallery, including the Clark Wing, Is on
Sunday afternoons when the galleries are in
Variably crowded and when many are not free.
Elihu Root said once that the greatest happi-
ness comes not from those things which money
can buy but rather from the things which are
free the things of the spirit, music, literature,
art. And he declared at the same time that
probably Of the greatest obligations of those
who appreciate this fact is to make these
things free to all.
II may be that a good deal of the present
unrest in contemporary life comes from lack
of use of these resources of pleasure and lack
of understanding of their true value. For this
very reason, the opening of art galleries TO
the public at time that working people, wage
earners, can profit by them is of the utmost
importance both to in the present time and
TO national life in the future.
MO EXHIBITION that the Corcoran Gallery
has set forth has created quite as
widespread interest and called forth such varied
comment as the present Twelfth Biennial.
Critics of the leading newspapers of Philadel-
phia. New York and other cities have come
to Washington to see this exhibition and have
commented upon it at length. Edward Alden
Jewell. in the New York Times last Sunday
said: Taken all in ALL it is the best big group
show of contemporary American painting that
the present writer has seen. Walking
through the several rooms in which these 395

tion such as this gives welcome impetus to the
persuasion that American artists have already
accomplished fine things and to the persuasion
likewise that given an opportunity to bring
forth our best, we need not in the least adopt
q deprecatory tone in recommending the work
OF native artists to the attention of the world
at large" Mr.. Jewell finds. furthermore in this
