THE Mexican exhibition at the Corcoran Gal
lery Of Art which opened April 1
and will continue to the 22d has attractd
exceptional interest and with excellent reason.
1t Is unique and remarkable collection. It's
first showing in this country was at the Metro
politan Museum last Fall since which time It
has been shown successfully in some Of the
leading museums of this country, but it Is safe
to venture that in place has it been better
or more effectively shown than here, the two
galleries to the right and left Of the grand
staircase lending themselves admirably to its
exhibition. Although one of these galleries is
given over almost exclusively to paintings and
works of fine arts, the special emphasis is un-
doubleday on the So-caIled minor arts-pot-
terry, lacquer. wood carving embroidery ETC.
Count dHarnoncourt who accompanies this
exhibition said in article published at the
time of the opening in New York that pottery
Is, without doubt, the most outstanding artistic
product of the modern applied arts of Mexico,
and the contemporary examples in this exhi-
bition show such a wide range of traditions,
techniques and forms that they appear to be
products Of different centuries. Owing to the
fact that in Mexico there are many villages
so isolated that the inhabitants live now as
they did when the Spaniards reached the coun-
try, we are able to find Indian pottery baked
on the open fire as it was 500 years ago." Some
OF the pieces in this collection were made in
Colonial times. but have distinctly modern
character. This makes it difficult to distin-
guish between modern pottery and that Of the
seventeenth, eighteenth and nineteenth cen
turtles Those who study this exhibition care
fully win note the beautiful shapes as well as
the interesting decorations of the huge pottery
jars and even the smaller receptacleS.
But those who love color cannot fail to ind

evidenced ~ the fact that collection Of this
sort, comprising toys and pottery, glass, woven
materials, embroideTies. baskets. etc, is now
considered IS perfectly legitimate material for
display In an art museum, whereas 20 years
ago IN most OF the art museums of this coun-
try it would not have been permitted admission;
and to the credit Of the Chicago Art Institute
let 1t be known that 1t was one of the first to
open it's doors TO current exhibitions Of the
decorative arts.
Certainly such an exhibition as this cannot
fail to create better international understanding
and serve most acceptably envoy of
peace"
GENERAL sales have been made from the spe-
ctal exhibition Of drawings, etchings and
dry points by Alfred Hutty, which opened at
the Corcoran Gallery March %, to continue
through today, but why any Of the works in
that collection remain unsold it is hard 20
understand, so excellent are they, full Of
artistic quality, SO moderate in price
The etchings and dry points in this collec-
ton are beautifully executed and of exceptional
interest, but the drawings are of a type quite
rare so sensitive in feeling so skillfu in execu-
ton, so altogether significant. To see work Of
this type Is in a measure to look behind the
scenes for all great works of art are dependent
to large extent upon good craftsmanship and
in these later days we have come to understand,
through study OF works by the great masters,
the value Of such drawing, whether as auxiliary
to painting or, as in this instance, as an end

was only IS years Of age, but mastery work.
THE Sermon" was purchased by the council
Of the National Academy Of Design, trustees for
the Ranger Fund, in January of this year and
has been deposited with the Corcoran Gallery
until Is years after the artists death, when
the National Gallery of Art may, according to
the terms Of the Ranger will, claim it for the
national collection. Without doubt painting

At the present time this painting has been
hung in the place of chief homer on the center
of the wall IN the middle gallery opposite the
staircase where IN time past, hung such noAble
works as George Inness' Sunset in the Woods"
and sargent's great portrait Of The Four
Doctors"
Twelve nfe-sized figures are included in the
composition Of the PICTURE men and 10
women-each in a different attitude and express
sion, all save one, apparently tntently listening

school which win never be defunct. 1t was un-
doubleday inspired by the works Of the great
Dutch painters of the time of Rembrandt and
Halls but it Is essentially also of our time,
painted in a different manner and in quite
different key. Some may find it Photographic,
bat no photograph can so well express per-
sonality or interpret living beings. To be sure,
there Is a wide gap between this painting and
the abstract paintings Of the modernist school,
but this is Of kind which is old and tried;
the abstract modern paintings are still "on
probation"
Mr. Melchers is one of the few contemporary
painters who attained distinction before mod
ernism came into vogue and without changing
his manner has nevertheless kept abreast OF
the times. For instance his painting "A Native
of Virginia" full-length portrait of a farm
woman, has the directness, the simplicity, the
structural strength for which the best OF the
modernists stand. It is prize winning picture
and has come or with honors when works OF
younger and so-called advanced men were COM
peting
Mr.. Melchers has always BEEN a good painter
He is perhaps one Of the best painters we have
today. His skaters" in the Pennsylvania
Academy, Philadelphia; his Fencing Master"

 The project will be continued and plants developed and distributed throughout the Panhandle.
 In 1916, said Dr. Alberts, Dr. Georgeson crossed the native Wild crabapple with the cultivated apple and planted the seeds at Sitka; one tree survived and thrived.

story "Tarzan OF the Apes" and its va
rious sequels Of African adventure, in
which the Incompatible and incompre-
hensible Tarzan links up talking alli-
ance, offensive and defensive, with the
wild beasts and other uncanny things
Of the mysterious African jungle.
Well, with its characteristic astute-
ness the film-producing firm Of Metro
Goldwyn- Mayer has commissioned
Edgar Rice Burroughs 10 prepare an
original screen script woven about the
character of Tarzan. and jungle or no

ther perpetuated in their march toward
immortality. Maybe there will be an
