New York June 18-There is
perhaps no event so eagerly antlei-
pated by writers and artists as tbs
Dutch Treat show held each spring.
The Dutch Treat roster comprises a
notable list of men who have won
the acclaim OF the world in their
especial fields.
Members give the lie to the pop
ular mIsconceptlon the genus art,S
is addicted to long hair, erratlc
clothes and unconventional man
ners The clue has no club house
but meets every Tuesday noon for
luncheon at a midtown hotel, each
member paying his own lunch chit.
The group might easily be taken
for a crowd of Young bankers or a
successful group OF industrlalists.
There is not a Latin quarter hat, a
flowing tie or a velveteen coat in
the entire assemblage. Yet all are
men who have hurdled artistic
jumps,
They have carved classics in
marble. blazoned canvases with un-
GIVING colors. nodded words INTO
deathless tones and composed
throbbing music. Yet when they
gather weekly they indulge in the
same airy persiflage so often asso-
GATED with Rotarian dinners.
The luncheon is always ATTENDED
by some distinguished visitor who S
the guest Of honor and makes
brief speech Among the many so
honored are: Herbert Hoover, John
D. Rockefeller. Jr, Gene TunneY,
Katherine Mayo. Otto Kahn. Count
Won Luckner. Max Relnhard-,
Jascha Heltetz, Jeritza and so on.
