New Enterprise

A new enterprise, to be known
as 1.-THE Little Gallery" where the
works Of local artists are hung for
sale, has been launched by Miss
Elizabeth Lewis, art specialist of
the Public Library, and the Yard
School of Art.
The gallery, located in the Yard
school at 2040 S St. N. W., opened
with the works of several we'll
known Washington artists. The
paintings hung in the opening ex-
hibition are those of Kenneth
Stubbs, Rowland Lyon, Hugh Col
Inns, Richard Stubbs, Janice Hol-
land and Phillip Bell. In addition,
there are etchings and Autographs
by Minnie L. Briggs, A. G.. Arnold,
Benson Moore and Inez Demonet.
Each exhibition will be shown
for a month, and plans for the
future include a show of prints
and q children's exhibition.
The purpose of the gallery, which
is non-profit making, is to establish
a place where WaShingtonians can
come to purchase the work of local
talent.

from downfall at the hands of the
new government.
Harried from pillar to post, the
soldier is finally edged from the
national scene. His greatest Sor-
row comes when his government
refuses to allow him to return to
his army to save Paris. The offer
carried with it a plea only for
the rank Of a general with no i'm
mediate hope of his reinstate-
ment.
He was offering his sword and
his blood to his country, but his
enemies were so afraid of his
mounting popularity in case of
victory that every effort was bent
toward forcing him into the hands
of the English and exile.
The story is handled not senti-
mentally but sympathetically and
in this guiSe becomes a much
stronger account than otherwise.
When it was published in
French. it established the writer
as the greatest living authority on
Napoleon and won for him i'm
menSe popular success.

This story, or rather summary
of the facts in the latter part of
the Corsican's existence was
penned by Octave Aubry and
translated from the French by
Arthur Livingston.
It is not a book for one unac-
quainted with the military giant
to dabble in, for it is clearly writ

passing knowledge of history as it
affected France when the Little
Corporal" was it's most moving fig
ure.
1t opens with the retreat from
Waterloo. Nothing of the battle
is given but from the first moving
words there is clearly drawn the
picture of a gigantic personality

wounded in body by illness strug-

of life that swept past him as his

immediate efforts to save his face

The collection runs to half
dozen stories. Ex-Superintendent
Cornish of the CID. represents
Scotland Yard and the six cul
prits include Margery Allingham
Anthony Berkeley, Freeman Wills
Croft, Father Ronald Knox, Dor
othy L. Savers and Russell Thorn
dixie.
Finger of Guilt
Miss Allingham's confession"
leads the list. She chooses
rascally victim (who certainly de-
serves to die and carefully
evolves what she believes to be
"the perfect murder" Our willy
detective, however, remains un'
impressed with all this strategy
and sends us on to 1.-THE Fallen
IDOL" by Father Ronald Knox,
still in quest of the "foolproof
alibi." This time it takes a
psychometric test m C h in e to
point the finger of guilt and
even then we cannot be sure
although our suspicious are pretty
acute.
Mr.. Cornish begins this par
ticular investigation tn the
statement that Father Knox
hasn't played fair. His perfect
murder is so, not because the
mystery can't be solved, but be-
cause, for political reasons, the
crime must go unpublished" That
makes two strikes for Scotland
Yard.
Neat Thriller
Anthony Berkeley's The Police
man Only Taps Once" gets its
finishing flip by Mr.. Cornish,
who adds, And then come the
handouts" Mr.. Berkeley not
only has beautiful time messing
around with aviation, petrol,
nitric acid and illuminate silver
but he switches the tables very
neatly on his victim and avenger
and turns out neat little thriller
in the process.
However Mr.. Cornish is hard to
please. He dismi SSeS Russell

For Christmas
Gift

=. A special edition Of Rudyard
Kipling's famous story THE Nal
tese Cat" has been put out by
Doubleday, Doran as a Christmas
gift suggestion.
The volume contains four color
plates and a number of other il,
lustrations done in black and
white by Lionel Edwards, r. l.,
who is particularly famous for
his drawings of horses.
The story is told as from one
horse to another. The Maltese
Cat was a flea bitten gray who'd
been playing polo for 10 years.
Not one of these fancy beasts, you
understand. He had started his
career in Malta pulling a vege-
table cart. But he could ever
more play polo.
If you are of the opinion that
polo is played by the men who
ride the horses, The Maltese Cat
will very soon change your mind.
1t was The Maltese Cat and his
colleagues who won the game for
the Skidars despite the fact that
the Archangels had twice as many
horses as the native officers.
It is a thrilling story. And 1t
makes an ideal gift for a Kipling
fan or a horse lover.

yard Kipling, published by Dou-
bleday, Doran.)

SYMBOLISM in
Art

There are all kinds of art, and
dynamic symmetry appears to be
one of the varieties.
Moreover, Olinka Hrdy, Of Den
yer. Col, is one of its chief expo
nents, and her work is now on
exhibition in Auriel BeSsemer's
Gallery of Modern Masters, 1867
Connecticut Ave. N. w.
The principle OF dynamic SYM
metry is geometric; it's patterns
largely block designs as interpreted
by Miss Hrdy. Also there are two
phases of expreSSion-decorative
and symbolic, the degree of sym
bolism depending entirely upon
the individuality of the artist.
Miss Hrdy's works that are now
or exhibition are principally on
the decorative side, but she is well
known for the symbolism of her
murals, of which there are many
in the West.
The symbolism that Miss Hrdy
embraces is of type which, &C.
cordlng to the admission of artists
in the same school, requires a
title to be comprehended-like her
Choral Music" for instance, a
symmetrical arrangement of lines
reaching a number Of apeXeS
which, this critic is informed, is
designed to give the impression of
rising voices.
Which is all we'll and good;
most people subscribe to the
theory of symbolism in art.
But this critic is further in
formed that some of the artists of
the dynamic symmetry school are
motivated by the expression of alb
Stract ideas, like the sound of
wind, the audible expression of
which this critic had previously
thought belonged in the realm Of
musicians, or its description, to
writer's. Dynamic symmetrical
artists, however, appear to be able
TO express CnlS luea by Cnelr own
symbolism.
Miss Hrdy's work in Mr.. BesSe-
mer's gallery is comprised pri-
marily of distractions (decora-
tive), Landscapes and flower paint
ings. The latter two, coming as
they do near to u recognizable
representation of the flowers and
scenes from which they were
drawn, are more comprehensive
and therefore possibly the rea-
soning is erroneous) more likeable.
The exhibition will continue
through this month. Mr.. Besse-
mer's gallery is open from 1890
a. m. to p. m. daily and from 2
to p. m. on Sundays.
