SUBWAY MOVIES is
NEW BRITISH IDEA
nv Associated PrcSSD

LONDON, June 12.-Subway
movies, with tunnel walls for the
screen and the spectators doing
the moving instead of the pic
lures, is the idea, patented, of
w. Stancliffe Marsden, London
engineer.
81 got tired of having nothing
to look at except the bare walls
rushing past" he said.
'My invention calls for a series
of black-and-white cartoons, de-
picting clear cut tunnel walls with
blank spaces in between.
Light from the trains would
be sufficient illumination, and
the effect would be the same as
an animated cartoon. About eight
or ten pictures would be needed
for each second of viewing"
The ministry of transport
agrees the scheme would bright
en- subway journeys, but that's as
far as the idea has gone.

Work OF Various Artists Being
Shown In Key West Exhibit In
Art Gallery In Jacksonville

STUDIED aI MllWaukee and Jno A.
S. L. of New York, later teaching
at Layton School of Art. After
finishing the Key West assign
ment, he returned to Milwaukee.
He also has contributed to For
tune Magazine.
Another called to the Virgin
Islands to join the staff Of the
Treasury Art Project, is F. Town
send Morgan, formerly of Phila-
delphia. Morgan works entirely
in the etching field, and his pro-
duction, key West. won the J.
Frederick TalcOtt Prize at the
annual exhibit of the American
Society of Etchers in New York
last November. He was, for a
while, director of the art work in
Key West.
Alfred D. Crimi has worked in
as far-flung points on the globe as
perhaps, any Of the artists who
were assigned to Key West. Born
in Italy, he studied and painted
in Rome. later maintaining studies
in Seattle, Washington, and New
York City. His really outstand-
ing permanent contribution was to
produce two life-size murals on
the walls of the Key West Tropi-
cal Aquarium. These depict
strikingly the life of the CONNER
clal fishermen in the waters
around Key West, and the work
has been favorably commented
upon by many OF those appre-
ciative of art who have visited the
aquarium. After finishing the
assignment, he returned to New
York, and recently won an award
rs the. Painting and Sculpture
Section, u. S. Treasury Depart
ment, to do murals for one of the
U. S. Post offices now being dec
GRATED by the Treasury Depart
ment. Crimi works almost en-
tirely in fresco.
Although an interior decorator
by profession, Henry LaCagnina,
formerly of New York. works sue
cessfully in many media. He is a
skilled craftsman. and although
he produced some water colors,
most of his work was confined to
designing and producing wood
craft articles. He is now on
DOrnbush's staff in the Resettle-
ment Administration.
Richard Sargent is another
who is now in the Resettlement
Administration. Born in Illinois,
he studied at Washington Studio
School and Corcoran Gallery. He
was a prize winner at the Iowa
Annual Exhibition, and has con-
Quoted one man shows at the Cor
coran Gallery. While in Key
West, he worked entirely in the
water color medium.
While the Administration still
possesses much of the work pro-
duced by the artists in Key West,
a great deal has been purchased
by private individuals. Part of
the art program in Key West in
cluded the establishment of an
art gallery, and one of the fine
old homes, sadly in disrepair, was
reconditioned and used for this
purpose.
Tourists during the past two
winters visiting the gallery saw
! the value and beauty Of the work.
and also the low prices which
had been placed on the paintings
. and etchings. Such men as Ed
ward Bruce, Consulting Expert of
the Painting and Sculpture Sec
ton of the Treasury Department,
Edward Bowan, director of the
section. and others who have
studied art for many years. say
that the prices placed on work
done in Key West were excep-
tionally low.

Novel Scheme To
Save Fruit

How to save a crop of cherries
from the birds was solved this
season by George F. Ivey, Hickory
furniture manufacturer: Ivey had
a tree of particularly fine cherries
in the backyard of his home but
marauding birds were making
short work of the ripening fruit
until he hit upon a plan.
A pulley was mounted in the
top of the tree, through which a
small rope was drawn. Next a live
cat was placed in a cage, the cage
attached to the rope and the cap
tive feline pet was hoisted to do
sentry duty over the fruit. The
scheme worked to perfection.
When the birds flew into the cher
ry tree, they promptly sensed dam
ger in the shape of their most
deadly enemy--the cat. Thus the
cherries were safe.
In order that the society for
prevention of cruelty to animals
would have no cause for complaint,
Ivey secured two additional cats,
50 as to work chem in three shifts
of eight hours each. At started
times, approximately, at eight hour
intervals therefore, the cage was
lowered, a new cat substituted and
the tired pet given a good meal as
we'll as 16 hours sleep.
