N INTERESTING and mo

A N INTERESTING and most ex-
~ cellent exhibition of pictorial
~ photography is now on view
in the National Museum, Arts
and Industries Building, section of
photography. These prints are all by
members of the Associated Telephone
Camera Clubs, employees of the Tele-
phone g. Telegraph Co. commonly
known as the Tel and Tel" Obviously,
therefore, it is the work of those who
practice photography as hobby but,
like all lobbyists, they are enthusiastic
riders and spare no pains to attain sue
cess. This determination. care and
enthusiasm show in their prints. For
subjects they have gone far af1eld, but
in merit of transcription they are
well matched-extremely even. And,
after all, those fundamental prin-
ciples which govern all works of art
composition, relation of light to shade,
line and rhythm-are controlling in
photography as in all the graphic arts.
Not only have these photo -pictorlalistS
chosen good subjects, but they have
rendered them with great sympathy
choosing just the right moment to get
a desired effect This is art and of
very genuine sort.
There are in this exhibition some
admirable portraits and figure studies.
Two of these, by K. A. Kjeldsud, are
more like drawings than photographs,
exuuisitely delicate in delineatien, but
neither vague nor exaggerated. In ap-
pearance they are like silver points.
Equally charming is study by E. S.
Hemsted entitled Motherhood From
Nat Norman comes an engaging
portrait of an "AbstractioniSt," an
artist working on an abstract compost
ton. r. S. Kennedy's portrait OF w.
X" is likewise an excellent piece of
work, strong in modelling character
istic not forced.
T. M. Odarenko shows two pleasing
compositions-one of horses on hill
side silhouetted against a sunset sky
the other Of a heron in the water OBJ
serving its own reflection. Subjects
so handled have not only technical
merit, but imaginative appeal. Edward
Alenius contributes two studies of sky
scrapers which have pictorial con-
tent-"'Downtown New York. and
"Step by Step"-the latter showing
group of "set-backs." Manhattan
Mist" by M. S. Thomas, is outstanding
for atmospheric effect. Across the
Sum-" by ]. M. Bridges, and Before the
Wind" by J. C. Sellers, both are charm
ing boat pictures. There are some
good still-life studies, such as "Decora-
tive Panel" by H. M. Larsen, and "a
Cellar Corner" by Edward Alenius.
Occasionally a print is found to have
q CLINT of humor, or very human ap-
peal, aside from picturesqueness or
charm of Characterization. Can I
Make It?" by J. C. Dassler, is a squir-
rel in snowstorm as seen on a win
dow-sill, anxiously measuring jump.
The question is, Did he make it?"
There are, in addition to these prints
mentioned, others Of equal interest and
merit-telephone wires against the sky,
architectural themes, landscapes. All
in all, it is a most enjoyable and
creditable showing.

Fans and
Pictures.

Pictures.
THE collection Of fans assembled IN
IL Spain by the late Duchess d'Arcos
(nee Virginia Woodbury. Lowery of this
city, and bequeathed to the National
Gallery of Art, is beautifully displayed
in one of the small galleries on the
second floor of the National Museum,
Tenth street and Constitution avenue.
Spread out in two fiat cases, in the
center of the room, IA in one, 13 IN
the other, they can be well seen and
studied. Two, possibly more, are ORR
entail, but the majority are Spanish
and vividly recall scenes of romance
and of splendor. And what part fans
have played in court life In the past!
How much they have meant to Spanish
ladies peeping from behind them! How
almost essential they have been con-
sidered as an adjunct of the dance!
Oftentimes, as one sees in this collec-
ton, these fans were the work OF
ACCOMPLISHED artists and craftsmen.
Not a fan In this exhibition is minus
carved sticks and painted folds. The
paintings are Of NEUROLOGICAL sub
jects, of court life, of historical scenes
artistically and colorfully displayed.
The sticks are of ivory, wood and am
Der, exquisitely carved, gilded, and in
one instance lacquered. 1t Is most
interesting array.
As q setting for this exhibit Of fans,
the walls Of this gallery have been
rehung with paintings by American
artists, mostly drawn from the William
T. Evans collection, which accord in
color and tone, and collectively create
an appropriate atmosphere. The nna-
tority of these paintings have, on
account of lack Of space for display.
been for some time in storage and
their return gives pleasure as Of re-
newed acquaintance with erstwhile
friends. Here are two paintings by
George Inness, Georgia Pines" and
niagara" both unusual subjects, very
deity portrayed. Here is Twachtman's
Torrent" a most typical example
one of his best-and Theodore Rob-
inson,s lovely French landscape, in high
key, dominated by a provincial church
spire, to- say nothing of Murphy's
entrancing Indian Summer" like a
violin sonata, and Blacklcck's two
sonorous landscapes, deep toned and
resonant. There are two heads-good
to see again and at any time-a por-
trait of Walter Shirlaw by Duveneck
and a girls head, without name or
identification, by George Fuller.

and equipment. he acquired freedom
through submitting to bondage, and
hence was able to use it not merely
well, but magnificently.
Paintings By American Artist
Purchased for Legation.
TWO paintings by an American
artist, William H. Singer, jr., were
purchased last Summer by Norway
to hang here in the Norwegian Lega-
ton. They are both of Norwegian
scenery. of which, during many years
residence in Norway, Mr.. Singer has
made profound study. When Mr.. Sim
ger exhibited recently in the Galerie
Schusterman, Paris. Camille Mauclair,
one of the leading French critics, had
the following to say of his work:
"Mr. William H. Singer, jr., has
perfectly understood that a landscape
must be a transcription Of nature, but
that it only deserves to be called a
work of art if the artist, with all due
respect to the truth, rises to per-
sonal interpretation-gives us. in a
language of his own, the blended re-
suit OF sense and intellect. Norwe-
gian scenery captivated him-he faith
omed its characterize lived and med
itated long among it in various sea-
sons-he, learned it by heart. Then
he composed, and his compositions
are poems-realities with all the magic
of dreams. /" They are by turns
intimate and majestic. They are very
silent with the silence Of nature. Like
certain poems of Heine. Keats and Poe,
they hold some faint and surprising
sweetness"
Most Of Mr.. Singers paintings of
Norway are Winter scenes-snow pic
tures-painted with short strokes and
in high key, yet very subtle, recog-
nizing, as do the japanese, snow as q
pause, something gentle and envelop-
ing, rather than hard. brittle, and
associated with storm and force. Born
in Pittsburgh and a student at the
Julien Academy, he has lived most Of
his life abroad, but never lost his in
terest in art in America. It was
through the generosity of Mr.. and
Mrs. Singer that the Washington
County Art Gallery, in, Hagerstown.
Md, came into existence and has been
sustained. Exhibitions of his paint
ings have been held in New York, Sa-
vannah and other cities. He is rep
resented In the National Galleries Of
Norway, Holland, Belgium and France.
as well as In the leading museums Of
this country. The Royal Order Of St.
Olaf was conferred upon him by the
King of Norway in 1929. In recent
years he had divided his time between
Norway and Holland.
Mural Paintings for Justice

TWO new competitions-one for
three murals for the Department
Of Justice Building and one for sculp-
ture for the facade of the Bronx Post

tions Of genre paintings by great
masters held last Winter in Paris and
in New York. This season collection
of American genres has been making
a circuit of American Art Museums,
lately being displayed in the Carnegie
Institute, Pittsburgh. Truly the world
goes around and around even more
certainly than on and on.
But to return to the paintings in
the National Gallery. Places of dis
tinction in rehanging have been given
to a marine by Hobart Nichols, land
scape by Chase and an idyllic figure
composition by F. Ballard Williams.
There Is also marine by Leon Dabo,
painter and writer disciple of Whistler,
and there are landscapes by Wyant,
Lathrop and Charles H. Davis-the
last distinctly a masterpiece. Hang
ing space is at a premium in the Ma
tional Gallery of Arts present restrict
ed quarters and storage rooms are
regrettably full, but on the whole it
may not be bad to have works tempo
rarily withdrawn in order to bring
them back for fresh inspection with
added appreciation, as in the present
instance.
In the hall adjacent to this exhibi-
ton have been hung Alphonse Jongers'
portrait of the late William T. Evans
and Irving Wiles' portrait of John
Gellatly, both generous donors to our
National Gallery-men of wealth who,
after making their donations to the
Nation, lost their fortunes and died
in greatly restricted circumstances.
They should not be forgotten.
National Gallery of Art
Lends to Public Library.
THE National Gallery of Art has
lent to the Public Library five
important and interesting canvases
from the William T. Evans Collection,
which have been hung on the walls Of
the art reading and reference room In
the main building. Three of these
are portraits by three very distin-
guished American figure painters. One
is a head of Henry Fuller, the mural
painter ESQ admirably represented in
the Library Of Congress-; when he was
a little boy, and is the work of his
famous father. George Fuller. One is
a portrait of the painter. Wyatt Eaton,
by j. Alden Weir-a token Of friend
ship. The third is of a young girl,
Jessie j. Burge, by Abbott H. Thayer,
than whom America has produced no
greater painter. Each Of these por-
traits is very different from the others,
but all three evince, on the part of
the painters, spiritual insight and are
truly interpretative. Doubtless in
style they belong TO day that Is past,
but because of this. their real value
is by no means diminished.
In addition to these portraits, the
National Gallery loan includes q
famous and very beautiful nocturne-
a seascape-by Ryder, and a genre by
Winslow Homer. The latter, entitled
THE Visit Of the Old Mistress" was
painted in Petersburg, Va, in 1876. It
represents the interior Of Negro
cabin. The Old Mistress-"Ole Miss"
has come to see that all is well
with her ex-slaves. The family have
risen to greet her and are gathered
in an interested, smiling group. This
picture was first purchased by Thomas
B. Clarke. but at his sale in 1899, was
bought by M. H. Lehman, from whom
it passed to william T. Evans and
eventually to the National Gallery of
Art. It is interesting. not only as an
historical document. but as evidencing
the folly Of supposing. as many seem

RHODE ISLAND AVENUI

RHODE ISLAND AVENUE:
See this one by all means, that
is, o. course, if you are interested
in a vacancy of this type. A fur
nished room in an apartment
suitable for gentlemen or couple.
1t seems to me that all the people
moving into new apartments have
matched them in furniture, and
when you do that the result is
genel ally very pleasing. In this
particular case the owner has
used exceptionally good judgment
in both furnishings and arrange
ment. The building is located at
the dividing line of Northeast and
Northwest with bus passing the
door, and street cars close by. Rent
is $50 for one or $35 for two.
FURNISHED APARTMENT:
Another inter esting furnished
apartment is located in new
building that overlooks one of the
entrances to Rock Greek Park.
This is a particularly lovely apart
ment, because the furniture is
brand new and the apartment is
only about two or three months
old. 1t is of the compact type of
unit with dinette and kitchen
opening into one another and both
the living room and bedroom are
spacious and bright. The rental
price OF $75 includes silver, linens
and dishes.
SHARE AN APARTMENT:
A young attorney of the fair
sex has a very unusual PROPOSE
ton to offer to young lady who
is DESTROYS of sharing a well-fur-
nished three-room, kitchen and
bath apartment l visited this
unit this morning and was agree
ably surprised with the possibili-
ties. There is a charming living
room, a full-sized dining room,
bedroom, kitchen and beautifully
done bath. Everything is UP to

the owner is asking only $27.5o a
month, I feel sure she will be
swamped with applicants.
DOWNTOWN ROOM:
Now's the chance to get that
downtown room you have been
writing to me about. I guarantee
1t is one of the most immaculate
and Hastily furnished rooms that
I have ever inspected. While this
is in a commercial neighborhood.
close to the shopping district, and
the apartment is over a business
concern, I still believe one could
have as comfortable quarters as
could be found.
SPLENDID OPPORTUNITY
FOR TWO YOUNG LADIES:
I visited a charming house the
other evening. where one or two
young ladies could live very well.
The room is huge one furnished
as girls would like it and has such
deep closet in it that one would
be very lucky to have enough
clothes to fill it Another interest
ing feature is a little informal sit.

to the young ladies to entertain in.

a day. In an apartment hotel,
modern and fireproof building.
there are some attractive fur
niShed rooms with bath and maid
service that rent from $40 to $50
a month In each room there is a
phone and the service is excellent
in every way. This building is
famous for its fine upkeep.
