Works of Elmer Daniels to
Pave Way for Weekly
Art Display.

Paving the way for weekly ex-
hibits of the art creations of In
dianapolis men and women-crea-
tons of brush and mallet-an ex-
hibit Of the sculpture Of Elmer Har-
land Daniels, 46 North Pennsyl-
vania street, is being shown at the
central public library.
The exhibit is open to the public
and is shown in the hallway of the
library near Cropsey auditorium.
Luther L. Dickerson, city libra
rian, said the exhibition was in the
nature Of an experiment to aid ar
tistic young men and women of the
city to show their talent to the
public.
Display Space for Young Artists
1.-The young artist can find no
place to show his works. The John
Heron Art institute hasn't the
space to devote to hangings of the
younger generation" Dickerson
said.
'The officials of the institute dis
cussed the matter with me and as
the hall adjoining the library was
considered ideal we have decided
to try out opening it to paintings
and SCULPTURE Of the newer artists, !"
he said.
The present exhibition has
twenty-three pieces of sculpture.
Taflinger Work Is Shown
It is dominated by an impression
of Maxim Cork, four bronze heads
Of THE Brothers Karamazov," a
study 1.-THE Old Beggar," and a
figure of "St. Francis of Assist"
Blended into the background of
the hall are paintings and drawings
loaned for the exhibition by Elmer
E. Taflinger, Indianapolis artist
and teacher.
Dickerson said the exhibition, the
first of its kind in the city, will aid
the younger artists of the city to
obtain display space.
