art is-has not found admission within
these doors. Furthermore, tradition
has been upheld and standard set by
such masterpieces as Ell Greco's RE
pentent Peter" Daumier's inimitable
works, an Eakins portrait and a great
Renoir. Using these as measure one
cannot 60 far astray.
IT IS through the medium Of this
gallery that Westinghouse have
been enabled to gain acquaintance
with the painters Of the modern
schools who have arrived at first place
in current esteem-Cezanne, Van
Gogh, Matisse, Picasso and others. 1t
is not essential to think that because
painting or other work Of art Is
to be seen in an art gallery or museum
its merit is assured or in any way
guaranteed. 1t is, to the contrary,
there to be tested-and with it to test
ourselves. Only time will tell whether
it or we-one or both-may be right.
The Phillips Gallery has been re-
decorated and to some extent rehung
since closing in July after the ex-
hibition of work done on the Federal
Art Project of the w. p. A. was shown
therein. The arrangement is not ma
terially different from that of the past
season. The Ell Greco, the Daumiers,
as other toneful works, are hung in
the library, where are also shown a
number of small works In sculpture of
notable interest. Over the mantel in
the old dining room Rouault's Three
Clowns by the Gothic
glassmaker's art-has been effectively
placed, its dominant rose color being
re-echoed in tiles and window hang
ingS.
The main gallery above stairs Is
chiefly given over to the works of con-
temporary Frenchmen Of the modern
school-but the beautiful Egyptian
head of centuries past looks on un-
troubled and serene. One little gallery
contains distractions by prague and
Picasso; in another six paintings by
John Marin, equally difficult for the
average visitor to understand, are a
dominating feature.
In the little room to the right of the
stairs, leading to the top gallery. are
several paintings by that eccentric
genius, Elsllemius. whose work Is
purely individualistic and defies clas-
sification by school.
Water colors are to be seen in the
opposite room, to the left, and here
two local artists-Robert Franklin
Gates and Richard Sargent-are
given generous representation.
A T THE extreme end Of the hall on
the second floor, in a small side
lighted room. may now be seen the
painting by Walter r. Sichert, a WELL
known English artist. of Queen Vic
toria and Lord Melbourne" acquired
last Spring. This canvas Is nearly
square, and shows Victoria in her
youth and early in her reign, riding
horseback in company of the great
Wing leader-William Lamb, second
Viscount Melbourne-prime minister
from July to November, 1884, and
from April to August, 1841. As Vic
toria was crowned Queen Of England
and married to Albert-in 1840-it

The Corcordn Gallery's 18th
Biennial Announced.
THE Corcoran Gallery Of Art issued
= this week announcement Of its
Fifteenth Biennial Exhibition Of Con-
temporary American Paintings. to be
held March % to May 9. 1887. The
William A. Clark prize awards, aggre-
eating $4,000. will be made, as usual,
to the four paintings adjudged best by
an expert jury Of artists from among
the number competing. These will be
accompanied by the Corcoran gold,
silver and bronze medals and certifi-
cate Of honorable mention. Circulars
and entry cards will be issued on or
about January IS.
An interesting note occurs in this
announcement to the effect that while
the trustees Of the gallery are "in full
sympathy with any proposal which
has for its aim the encouragement
and aid Of artists. the gallery is not
in q position to pay rental fee for
any pictures in this exhibition" Thus
the Corcoran Gallery of Art reafirms
the position taken and publicly an
nounced last year in regard to this
proposed practice on the part of Ger
tain artists.
The Corcoran Gallery of Art does
not stand alone in this matter-the
majority of other art museums have
issued similar statements. Because Of
the Carnegie Institutes declination to
pay rental fees. quite number of the
artists Of the so-called left wing" are
not represented in the international
exhibition which opened in Pittsburgh
the middle of this week. These artists,
and some others. by way of protest
are simultaneously exhibiting in
Pittsburgh dealers gallery. Strangely
enough. according to the regulations
laid down by the organization which
originated this absurd demand. exhi-
billions in a dealers gallery are per-
Missile without fee, but not in art
museums. In past years more sales
have been made from the Corcoran
Gallerys biennials than in almost any
other display of similar character.
And, what is more, the Corcoran Gal
lery Of Art never charges a commits
sion for such sales. In view of these
facts, the action of this group of art
lists, persistent in demand for rental
fees would seem short-sighted and
self-injurious.

been Balmoral Castle in the highlands
of Aherdeenshire. The riders are on
a high terrace, overlooking broad
sweep of billy country. They are
shown as approaching the observer.
The Queens eyes are very vacant and
very blue. and their empty gaze rivets
and holds the visitors attention. The
canvas is sketchily painted. but insist

ity-perhaps one should say contrast

is by no means to be overlooked or
found negligible.
On either side Of this painting hang
oil sketches, elaborate in composition
and carried as far as need be, OF
scenes of other days by Clifford Beal,
presumably made for the theater-
stage designs. One Is entitled Polka"
and shows a ball. possibly in the East
Room Of the White House, or other
equally stately hall, in Victorian days
when ladies wore wide, spreading
skirts and dancing was gay, BREATH
taking recreation. The other is en-
titled Scene for 'Parnelp" and rep
resents life in the same period. The
canvasses make an interesting group.
In still another room one comes
across the picture of Cock" painted
by Knaths, which IN its simplicity
has always evoked admiration and now
on the instant reminds of a famous
print by Hiroshige, the great Japanese
print maker recently reproduced in
a volume on Birds and Flowers in

Holme, published by The Studio, Inc
The medium is different, and also the
effect, but the simpliflcation and in
sistence upon essentials are virtually
the same. Art knows no boundaries of
time or place.
Drawings by Cikowsky in the
Corc0ran Gallery.
THE special exhibition Of drawings
and Autographs by Nicolai CT.

interesting. Although a few litho-

stone?-and as such it testifies to the
Importance of craftsmanship and the
versatility of the artist. Technically
there is great variety in Mr.. Chow
sky's work: He uses pen and ink,
wash, charcoal and photographic
crayon and each in accordance with
the limitations as we'll as the poten-
tialities of the medium. He shows q

Mr.. Cikowsky came to this country
in 1923, and 10 years later became a
naturalized citizen. He has lived dur
ing this time, for the most part, in
New York, but his residence in the
great metropolis has been broken by
periods of teaching in Cincinnati
in the Museum School-and in st.
Paul. In style and feeling his work
is un-American, dominated, as it
were, by inherited tradition and early
impressions of things seen and taught

The Minneapolis Association Of
Colored Women held its regular
monthly meeting at the Citizens
Aid Bldg, Jan. 9th. At the close
of the meeting a committee ap-
pointed some time ago presented
a copy of the History of the Ma
tional Assn of Colored Women to
the central branch of the Public
Library. This book contains his
tory of the work and pictures of
some of the most outstanding
Negro women of the country. It
will be used as a reference book,
and should be of interest to stu
dents and the general public. In
accepting the book, Miss Gracia
Countryman said that the Library
appreciates contributions of books
by, and about Negroes, and that
larger number is being ordered by
the Library this year. Among the
latest publications accepted is the
Pittsburgh Courier.

Anna Jackson Council
Has Annual Dinner

The lovely home of Mrs. Lucy
Quiqley of 63s Rondo St., was the
scene of merriment Saturday eve
ming, January IL, when Anna Jack

ner was served. The huge table
was a profusion of cut flowers and
laden with good things to eat.

toastnistress, presented Loyal DIT.

P. d. r. pin, in appreciation for
her faithfulness. All were called

utes later there were %. AT four
thirty when the program began,
"a persons were in the audience.
There were 80 at Eve o'clock and
at the close Of the meeting, at 6 80,
one hundred had assembled.
Thus meeting of deep interest
to Negro welfare among 5000 in
habitants, drew an audience of 100
people, more than half of whom
heard less than half of it. A pro-
gram scheduled for one hour
stretched out to two and One-haIf ;
no one seemed the least distressed,
save perhaps the two business men
who spoke, and they, of course,
said nothing.
This may be a very little thing,
but it doesn't argue well for the
congress called to arouse millions
of people to aggressive militant
action. But, perhaps, there are no
other communities like Minneapo-
lis and st. Paul.

Fears Propaganda

Mr.. Clancy explained the choice
of his subject by saying that in the
coming campaign he had reason to
fear the injection of injurious
propaganda from those who favored
hairbrained experimentation and
might thus peril the sound thinking
of many who would be called upon
to decide important issues. This
he held to be an imperative duty
of the Urban League.

Admits Weakness

Although admitting weakness in
the present setup, the speaker de-
clared it had resulted in many
benefits. He cited several examples
of men who with no initial advan-
tages had yet won signal success
in business because of opportunity
given under the system.

Draws Fire

The speakers remarks were chal-
lenged in questions propounded by
persons in the audience and for a
few minutes sharp debate was in
prospect. II. II. Sagrant, former
president of the st. Paul League,
brought echoes from the recent
New York Conventions humorous
and highly interesting recital. C.
W. Washington, secretary of the
local League, gave a brief review
of the origin and accomplishments
of the League. Lighter entertain
ment was given by Mrs. Mabel Lee
in piano selections and by the
Swanee Quartette in several songs.

once the Earl's best friend and
severest critic, saved the Yanks
from a Shutout.
It was Whitehills fourteenth
victory against 10 defeats and he
may further embelliSh this record
if he receives another start in the
remaining games on the Washing
ton program. This should be one
of his best seasons in the Griffith
regimentalS. In 1884, he won IA
and lost II. Last season, when
the Griffmen finished sixth, he
won IA and lost 13.
The Yanks have been fattening
on a Southpaw diet this season,
beating the left-handers in % out
of 80 games. Which makes White
hills performance yesterday all
the more gaudy. Charley Ruff
ing, Marse Joe McCarthy's main
bet in the world series, was the
victim Of the Earl'S neat effort.
Buck NewSom failed against
the Yankees in the nightcap,
marking the third time this year
that the league champions have
beaten the firebal thrower. New

the opening game Of the season in
Washington, winning the decision
over Lefty Gomez.
GOmez's Turn
Yesterday it was Gomez's turn
and the thin Yankee Southpaw,
although wild to the extent Of
seven passes, kept the Senator
hitters in check. Only Ossie
Bluege and Ben Chapman were
able to strike safely, both getting
singles. Bluege'S hit came In the
fourth inning after Gomez had
filled the bases with three walks.
The one-bagger scored Joe Kuhel
and Fred Sington with the only
Washington runs of the game.
NewSom had plenty Of trouble
with his control and, although he
allowed only seven hits, he gave
up 10 passes. Five Of them in
the first two innings, merged
with four Yankee hits, gave the
New Workers all of their runs and
they proved sufficient.
Buddy Lewis socked Ruffing for
a pair of homers in the opening
clash to ease the way for White
hill. Buddy had gone 20 times
without a hit until he belted
Bump Hadley for a double in
Saturdays game. Against Ruff
fling, he famed the first two
times up. then hit a homer. a
double and another four-master.
