The great excitement that her
aided the coming of America To-
day." the graphic art show, to
the Corcoran Gallery this week,
turned out to be nothing more
than a wrong number.
Press releases from the Amer

stated the exhibition would be-
gin simultaneously in 80 cities
on December l, with the Corcoran
Gallery here h holding up the
Washington end.
1t developed, however, that the
local gallery informed the New
York people that they would be
delighted to hold the show here
but that it could not be held now,
that it would have to take place
some time in May, after the
biennial exhibition.
There was some CONSERVATION,
but finally the New York people
agreed, but not until erroneous
statements had confused the
Washington art circles.

some 100 artists of all types.

One glance at the contents
backs up the assertion that the
movie, which won the Film Acad-
emy Award, was but a capsule
version of this historic romance.
TO be sure the movie followed His
Maiesty's armed transport" from
Portsmouth to Tahiti and part
way home with the llustrlous
cargo of breadfruit trees. But the
movie managed to end on a trium-
phant note despite the terrors OF
a court trial following Captain
Bligh's greatest open boat voyage
in the history of the sea-"
On the other hand, the trifogy
spares nothing and is as true to
history as Charles Nordhoff and
James Norman Hall could make it.
You do not get a glimpse Of Clarke
Gable surrounded by Polynesians,
en- route to the Pitcairn hideaway.
You get bloodshed and white
treachery and native cruelty and
YOU get it in hearty doses.
The first part. "Mutiny on the
Bounty" required a narrator. In
life he was known as Peter Hey
wood. For story purposes he be"
comes the Roger Byam whom you
will remember from the prize
winning movie. Byam'S recollec-
tions of the Inflated voyage are
set down following his retirement
from the navy. They are baseo on
facts to be found in the RECORDS
of the British admiralty.
Thomas Iedward, acting sur
geon of the Bounty, tells the Sec
ond story, Men Of the Sea-"
which includes a series OF daily
notes from Bligh's own log and
recounts the tribulations OF the
eighteen men who followed their
belligerent leader on the morning
of the mutiny.
The last division, "Pitcalrn's
Island" reveals the least known
part of the saga. There is an
epilogue done in dialect by the
sole survivor of the mutiny, Alex
ander Smith, but most OF the tale
is told in old-style prose, moving
swiftly and sometimes jerkily from
incident to incident in order to
cover all the action from the land
ing on the island in 1879 to the
massacre in 1893.
After the death of Fletcher

might have been a thriving com
munity, turned into a seething bed

neers half-crazed with fear and
depravity. Before the end the
whole magnificent gesture became
a futile mockery. But if you en-
ioy getting your facts and getting
them straight you won't skip this
part.

AVA NN SO"SASs
IT is a distinct relief to find an
M who paints beauty without
ice and without perverslon,
G afers to paint man and
81 without recourse to diStor-
hess
Miss Ways water colors are
paintings that are beautiful
without apology. 1t is entirely
possible simply to admire them, to
be stirred by them, despite their
simplicity and apparent lack OF
effort. So many of her contem-
poraries attempt to achieve a
carelessness by swashbuckling, but
Miss Kay has no need to resort TO
artifice.
Color And Warmth
She has recently returned from
the Basque country, and all her
water colors in the Arts Club ex-
hibition are the result of that visit
They have the color and the
warmth usually associated with
the Basque, and her approach Is
more realistic than the ugly real
ism of many of her contempo'
rarieS.
The men and women in her
paintings have movement and an
earthinesS that make them real II
on1v their backs are visible. They
are alive and full Of meaning.
Miss Kay's technique in the use
Of her water colorS gives full value
to every color. There is nothing
of the splaShy daubing that char
0cterizes most Of the modern
water colorists, but something
more substantial, more fleshy.
She is a regular exhibitor in
the Pennsylvania Academy, the
New York Water Color Club and
the American Water Color So
ciety, and in addition is the author
and illustrator of many childrens
books and well-known magazines

Inasmuch as the names will be drawn in Hartford in the same manner in which they were drawn here yesterday, if Miss Smiths luck holds out she will cap- ture the state prize. The winner is voted on by her own class mates, but after that only her luck pro- vails.
 Commissioner Florence B. Web- ster questioned the board on the prospect of starting WPA lighting projects in schools, which, she said, has been @ source of complaint be- cause of inadequate lighting facili- ties. She claimed that there were electricions working in sewers on WPA projects. The matter was explained to the board by John White, school inspector, who said he could only use electricians who were not only licensed but also on relief. The board also took up the matter, as suggested by Mrs. Web- ster, of aiding such children as were unable to pay the small sum neces- sary to gain entrance to the Sat- urday concerts being sponsored by the Junior League. It was suggest ed that all teachers be instructed to give each child who could not afford these tickets a note, thus in- surfing the child of admittance, Sup erintendent Thomas Condon will take the matter up with the Junior League during the week.
 Leaves Granted
 Leaves of absence were granted by the board to the following:
 To Katherine A. Dougherty, Web- ster school, for one month begin ming March s, because of illness, her request being supported by a statement from Dr. P. J. Brennan.

MARK TWAIN

WHEN Samuel L. Clemens, W Mississippi pilot, printer and publisher, died on April q, 1910, he left Mark Twain, writer and humorist, behind him as a .pefA petuaI legacy to America and to world literature. His pen- name is so closely associated with beloved classics like "Huckleberry Finn" and "Tom Sawyer" that his original name is often forgotten even by those to whom his writings are most familiar and dear.
 Mark Twain was born on November 30, 1885, at Florida, Missouri, but his family moved to Hannibal in the same state when he was four years old. It is the latter town that is best remembered as his home and 1t is there that the centennary of his birth was observed in Nov. ember, 1885. Part of the celebra- tion was the erection of a beau. tiful memorial statue. showing r ,scovysiahisa sv sEsmosI

 Mark Twain's early education was a most sketchy one. From his teens he had to earn his own living. It was . hard life but a fascinating one--as can be judged from Huck Finn and Tom Sawyer, lads very much like himself.
 Ultimately he drifted into newspaper work in California and at 32 6 San Francisco paper sent him on Q tour of the Med iterranean. Out of this and other travels he wove his "Innccents Abroad" His novels, striking @ new note in humor, prodding the foibles of humanity with devaet- ating laughter, were instantly popular, bringing him fortune and renown.
