by Marjorie Knight, illustrated by
Howard Simon and published by
Dutton; it is very nice.
And, lest we forget who really
wrote it, there is a translation from
the German by Wanda Gag of
Snow White and the Seven
Dwarfs," with illustrations by Miss
Gag-not Disney. This is published
by Coward McCann.
And no list of juveniles would
be complete. of course, without Mr..
David Statler's Roaring Guns"
This is published by Simon g.
Schuster. Mr.. Statler has illus
trated the text himself. The book
is a thrilling melodrama on the
struggles of Tom Mix with Bill
Johnson's gang of bandits. Its
speed is a shooting every two lines.
Mr.. Statler is 8 years old.

And now among the books that
are just fairy tales, and not a
thing else in the world.
There is THE Tale of the Land
of Green Ginger" which is very
nice; it is written and illustrated
by Noel Langley and published by
William Morrow; it is full of en-
perors, wicked princes, lovely prin-
cesses and much enchantment; 1t
is humorous, too.
And then there is 1.-THE Silver

lished by Thomas Nelson & Son;
1t is collection of old fashioned
magic fairy stories, too, not so
gorgeous as "The Green Ginger"

Lamps" illustrated by Roger Du-
voisin, with text by Charles Root, is
very attractive in appearance. 1t is
a story of children in India, pub
lished by Albert Whitman Co.
The next classification in size
among the years juveniles is that
formidable group which is designed
to teach junior something. OF these
the reviewer selects work by Helen
Stiles called Pottery Of the An
cients." 1t is illustrated with pho
tographs and gives a reasonably
clear idea of the work done in ce-
ramics by various races. It appears
to be quite readable. The publisher
is Dutton. The rest of this group
seems to be devoted to teaching
junior about his health, his need to
keep out from under rapidly NOV
ing trucks If he wishes to thrive In
the world, and what countries i'm
port our common foodstuffs. All
very nice, yes-all very nice. To be
sure!
A smaller group is given over to
biography, and some of the volumes
contained within it seem to the re-
viewer very good, indeed. There is
a child's life of George Washington,
for example, which is brave with
out being Sentimental: it is called
Leader by Destiny" The author is
jeanette Eaton, the publisher Har-
court Brace. 1t not only gives the
facts Of Washingtons public life,
but also offers a fair outline Of the
Revolution and describes the group
of statesmen and soldiers who sur
rounded the first President. It Is
for an older child-say 10, at least.
Appleton-C Century has also brought
out biography Of Samuel r. B.
Morse in somewhat the same man
ner. Its author is Helen Nicolay.
And Dutton Is carrying on its series
of lives of the famous by Sybil
Deucher and Opal Wheeler; these
are the authors who produced the
juvenile biographies of Mozart,
Haydn and Bach. Now they are
bringing out the life of Giotto in .
charming volume illustrated by Dor
othy Bayley. It is called "Giotto
Tended the Sheep" and can be read
by the quite young.
Stackpole Sons has also joined in
juvenile biography production with
q series called World Makers and
World Shakers" This is issued in
plain little volumes done by diff
ferent authors. Four have been
issued to date-JoAn Of Arc, Darwin.

Crunelle has, in his later years, done
exceptionally good work on his own
initiative. He has the instructive
feeling for form inherited from
French forebears and with 1t a clear
understanding of the relation of a

or cast, to the lump mass-there-

Boston Portrait Painter to Give
Lecture in COrcOrdn Gallery.
An illustrated lecture on "Por-
trait Painting" will be given on

Gallery Of Art by Margaret Fitz-
hugh Browne, portrait painter of

opticon slides and also by actual ex-
amples of notable portraits included
in the Corcoran Gallery's collection,
generously taken off the wall to be
placed in the auditorium for this
purpose.
This will be the first of the 1938-
80 series of lectures on art given
under the auspices of the WASH
ington Society of the Fine Arts,
which this year will be devoted

talks or demonstrations of the
artists way of working. These
lectures are primarily for the benefit
of the members of the society, but
tickets of admission can be obtained
from members of the society or from
the secretary, upon application in
advance.

CITY People in the Country" by
Peppino Mangravite, Franklin Wat

Curry's Baptism in Kansas" And
what is true of the paintings of men
and women is also applicable to the
Interpretation of landscape and city
sceneS-the ugliest and the dreariest
are set forth-the element of beauty
is taboo. Joe Jones is seen to have
painted an american Farm"
large canvas. which shows q small
group of buildings perched against
the sky on what resembles the back
of huge brown worm with wrinkled
skin, an unearthly and nightmare
like presentation, while Marsden
Hartley's The Old Bars, Dogtown"
looks like nothing but a dump heap
in the midst of a sea of green over
topped by clouds which would crack
the beholder's skull if they fell upon
his head. In this category Leon
Kroll's sketch of Road Through
Willows the famous willows near
Annisquam-is an exception, as is
Ernest Lawson's High Bridge" :"
which is distinctly out of place in
the present assemblage
1t is much the same with city pic
lures. THE Ghost City" by Paul
Burlin is ghastly, forsaken place;
Fishing Village" by Bernard Kar-
foil has nothing that could COM
mend it to the passerby; Back
yards, Greenwich Village" by John
Sloan is an interesting bit of realism
and features an excellent black cat,
but does not move one with desire
for residence in that famous quar-
ter, nor does stamford Harbor" by
Louis Bouche give the slightest ink
ling of the charm of the Connecti-
cut shore.
On the other hand, much may be
said in favor of painting of fac
tories on water front, Industry"
by Edward Bruce, beautifully drawn
and capably painted, little in the
manner of the Italian primitives
with almost a grim determination
to tell the truth. But even here one
recalls with a shadow of regret the
lovely landscapes and garden pic
lures which were come upon with
surprised delight in the first exhibi-
ton Mr.. Bruce held in this coun-
try after his long sojourn in China
and Italy, pictures which will always
linger happily in the memory of
those who were fortunate enough to
see them. There is beauty in the
commonplace and 1t is the artists
duty or privilege to reveal it, but
every theme will not yield it in equal
measure-it is a matter of choice.
That four of the most pleasing
contributions to this exhibition
come from artists now resident in
Washington is a satisfaction and
pleasure to record. Richard Lahey,
principal of the Corcoran School of
Art, shows Head of Joan" which
is very we'll constructed, broadly and
simply rendered, an outstanding
work. Nan Watson, in her painting
entitled Fruit in Blue Jar" has pro-
duced a canvas rich in tone and
charming in color, and Marjorie
Phillips still life, Fruit" in large
glass bowl, has a distinction in ad-
justment of color values and skill Of
handling all its own.
There is one abstract painting in
this exhibition. Chinese ReStau-
rant. by Max Weber, which may be

minded or taken for what 1t u In

line and color combination, and
there are two paintings which may
be set down as surrealistic-one of
these, entitled Light of the World"
Is by Peter Blume, whose painting,
South of Scranton" has been much
remarked since its initial showing
some years ago in the Carnegie In
ternational; the other, catalogued
as "Flsherman's Bride" the work of
Theodore Roszak. Surrealism is, it
will be recalled, supposed to be
representation of the impressions
made upon the subconscious mind
OF the palnter-a conglomeration of
half thoughts, tumbling one over the
other, given pictorial form. Both
Mr.. Blume's and Mr.. Roszak's can
vases are small and very neatly
painted with an exactness which is
rare, but what contribution they
make in esthetic satisfaction it
would be hard to say.
Likewise in the realm of the imag-

Eilshemius of THE Flying Dutch

atmospheric and pictorial-the work
OF one who inStinctively is an artist.
Much may be said in praise of
julius Bloch's SELF Portrait" which
is a strong, straightforward piece of
work. well modelled, personal and
most interesting in color-a study in
blue, the garment he wears and the
background against which he is seen
matching his eyes which look out
OF the canvas with that clear, far
seeing quality usually found in those
who habitually follow the sea. There
Is excellent craftsmanship also in
the painting by Francis Criss, en-
titled "AStor Place',-a little citv
picture rendered with the finish of a
work IN miniature-but neither light
nor atmosphere. Curiously enough
these seem elements left out of quite
number of the canvases included
IN this exhibition and they are the
magic which transforms the world
from ugliness to beauty.
In the matter of sturdy figure
painting commentator can be given
to Mother and Child" by Maurice
Sterne, which has an almost classic
sculpturesque effect, and to "The
Blue Clown" by Walt Kuhn, which,
II we are not mistaken, was exhibit
ed here season or so ago in Studio
House, under the auspices of the
Phillips Memorial Gallery. To Eugene
Speicher's seated portrait of Mari
anna" the place of honor over the
mantel In the larger of the two
galleries has very properly been
given, for Speicher has won his
laurels fairly and wears them with
continuing distinction. He Is not
suave painter, but his work has in
variably unity and strength and
furthermore he imbues it with spirit.
Alexander Brook, who is best
known as a figure painter, and
Henry Matts0n, who has made q
name for himself as a painter of
marines, are both represented in
this exhibition by still-life studies
the former by a large canvas en-
titled "Sentinels"-because of prom
inence in the composition of two
large vases-the latter by study of
"Quinces" on the bough on which
they grew. Mr.. Brooks painting =

'S|AMESE TWIN
SUES DOCTORS

The celebrated "Siamese twin"
operation of a year ago echoed
again in a suit on file in District
Court today.
Parents of John Melvin Bonner,
IA, who volunteered aid in a rare
operation resulting from Clara
Howard, II, being badly burned
in an accident, sought $4,000
damages from Drs. Robert E.
Moran and M. P. DeVito.
Young Bonner offered to allow
the grating of some of his skin
to save the young child from per-
manent Disagreement. During
the operation the pair were joined
together to allow a fusion of
blood prior to the actual grating.
Complications developed and
six tranSfuSions were necessary
after the "Siamese twin" connec-
ton was severed, the suit said.
The suit held the doctors had sub
jected Bonner to an expert
