Mr.. Hale's work is very covetable
as well as worth seeing, and it is
some years now since 1t has been

many years such exhibitions were

been discontinued. With the welter

with James Henry Moser Of this
city, eminent water colorist, now
deceased, and later with George
Pierce Ennis, gradually gaining such
facility that all of his time was
given to painting. For some years
now his works, both in oil and
water color, have been appearing
regularly in the leading exhibitions
here and elsewhere, and he, himself,
has successfully conducted classes
in the winter in Florida and in
summer in Maine. He has a tech
nique which is especially personal
and at the same time an intuitive
sense of beauty in tone and in
composition.
Roi Partridge is one of our FORE
most American printmakers, an
etcher whose line is bold and strong
and very knowing. His usual SUBJ
jects are landscapes and architec-
ture, but whatever he essays to do
Evening star., 1938-12-04

water colors and drawings in the
large gallery and oils in the small
adjacent one AS group, the former
are perhaps the more interesting,
owing, presumably, to the fact that
small works in the lighter media
are more suitable. Here one finds
works of considerable diversity in
subject as we'll as style of rendering.
Prentiss Taylor, who is best known
for his Autographs, is admirably rep
resented by two water colors; Mary
Elizabeth Partridge shows charm
ing landscape in water color-a
broad view of hill country. There
are two landscapes in water color
by Olin DoWs, sensitively rendered
and two or more imaginative themes,
we'll developed and presented in
monotint by Elizabeth Poe, to say
nothing of vase of flowers delicately
set forth, but with real understand
ing, by Nan Watson and humorous
character sketch by Aaron Sopher.
A novelty in this group is what ap-
pears to be figure sketch in line,
which in reality is rendered in wire
on white background. 1t represents
skaters and is the work-or inven-
tion-of Marian Ewald-clever in
deed.
Among those exhibiting oils are c.
Law Watkins, who shows a small
portrait; Alice Acheson, who exhibits
a figure composition; Margaret
Gates and her husband, Robert
Franklin Gates, who show still life
and landscapes, respectively; Sarah
Baker, horse subjects: Rowland Lyon,
who is represented by little picture
of "Old Georgetown; Julia Eckel,
Bernice Cross, Sherman Lee and
others-a greatly diversified collec-
ton
For the most part these exhibitors
are or have been connected with the
Phillips Gallery School or Studio
House and their works show very
definitely the influence of the works
by French modernists, in which, in
recent years, the Phillips Memorial
Gallery has specialized. 1t is an
utterly different show from that put
on by the alumni of the Corcoran
School of Art in the Corcoran Gal
lery, which has, however, likewise
been very successful, a record of q
sales standing to its credit week
ago with a fortnight more before
closing. The young artists repre-
sented in these sales exhibitions
should find much encouragement in
the patronage so cordially extended
by local art lovers and chance out
of-town visitors.

Career Distinction Symbod Exhibition Which
Bears Unmtakable Marks
a1ery;L o HorseC Creates

enske Of Chicago, who began his
career as a newspaper man with
assignment to cover race track ac-
tivities. This engendered in him a
, love Of horses which has become a
passion and found expression In his
art. It was, 1t Is said, his inability
to find prints of horses that salts
fed him that induced him to enter
the field Of art. To demonstrate
what was wrong in the prints he saw
he got copper plates and the neces-
sary needles and went to work. TO
his surprise he found he could draw
with ease and accuracy. Later he
became staff artist on one Of the
biggest Chicago papers, which posi-
ton he held until establishing a
business of his own. Thus 1t will be
seen Mr.. Palenske's prints represent
personal enthusiasm, pursued pri-
marily for pleasure as q hobby, but
eventuating as works of art.
He has by no means restricted
himself to representation Of horses.
Bears, deer, fish, wild steers, all have
interested him and been very ad-
mirably depicted. Especially has he
been attracted by the Western ponies
and their cowboy riders, and spirited,
indeed, are his interpretations of the
bucking broncos and their intrepid
riders. The drawings of Remington
and Will James are recalled by these
prints, which have, however. char
acter quite their own. They are
primarily spirited, full of action and
impetuous, we'll drawn and skilfully
etched. One Of polo ponies, entitled
TOO Much Speed" is especially
good; Fighting Fury" is an excel
lent dry point of leaping salmon;
There's Your Breakfast" is q
charming print of a mother bear
and cub going for a fish. Mr.. Pal
enske seems to know his West and
to love it. But it is quite obvious
that his chief object is subjective.
He Is not an etcher for the love of
the art, and the sheer beauty of line
sometimes escapes him in his eager
ness to make it of use. For this rea-
son his landscapes are little weak,
his composition occasionally faulty.
But few have indicated motion more
impressively, or better set before us
horses and riders, in all their whims
and fascinating ways. than he.
Here are glimpses of the American
Scene which we have not had of
late.

who has a home in Rockville, but

Though we are living as we are con-
stantly reminded, IN . machine age,

Of the healthisst signs of the time,
betokening persistence and artistic

enamels are Of this type and caliber.
hence their display here will be
doubly welcome.
Self Portrait Sketched In Char

Since the earliest days Of painting
artists have used themselves as

the best Of An artists achievements.
Rembrandt painted himself again

one finds An extraordinarily know

been less successful. Obviously it is
question of seeing oneself as others

Thornton Oakley, Artist and
Author, to Lecture on AN
illustrator In Scandinavia"

Next Wednesday evening in the
lecture hall of the United States
Chamber Of Commerce, Thornton
Oakley of Philadelphia, illustrator,
painter, author and teacher, will
give, under the auspices Of the
Washington Society of the Fine Arts,
an illustrated lecture on IAN Illus
traitor in Scandinavia" The WASH
ington Society Of the Fine Arts has
succeeded this year in persuading
certain well-known artists to tell
something Of work in their own par
ticular fields, under the conviction
that appreciation will be advanced
through understanding Of both the
artists viewpoint and approach. Mr..
Oakley studied with Howard Pyle
and is perhaps best known for his
illustrations of books by various
well-known authors, but especially
in recent years for travel books
written by his wife, Amy Oakley, the
latest Of which is on Scandinavia.
Two summers, those Of 1885 and
1887, were spent in Scandinavian
countries by Mr.. and Mrs. Oakley,
gathering material, not as sight
seers, but as students, sympathetic
and open-eyed, with the purpose Of
making the best known to fellow
Americans. In such wise 50 years
ago another couple from Philadel-

tinuing service rendered regularly

Charges Paying
 Too High Wages
 To Stars, Made

HOLLYWOOD, Calif., May 5, R-The Independent Theater Owners Association Inc, repre- senting hundreds of theaters thru out the United States, charged the movie producers as paying excessive salaries to movie Stars such as Greta Garbo, Mae West, Joan Crawford, Katherine Hep burn, Kay Francis, C. Edwards, Arnold, Marlene Deitrich, Sonia Henie, Myrna Loy, Gary Cooper, who have lost drawing power at the box office.
 The charges appeared in the form of an advertisement in a trade publication,whic they said was designed to "wakeup the producers in a constructive way to the fallacy of paying top salar- ies on long term contracts to stars who are not paying returns on the investment"
 Executives of one Studio blam- cd this condition on the actors agents, saying, they boosted the Stars salaries to a point where production can no longer be main tained on a high scale. The pro- ducers still pay two leading play CTS three hundred thousand dol lars per picture.

The Board of Directors of the N. w.

 We unanimously oppose Dim- ond bonding bill for the reason that it does not provide for re- ferendum by the voters.

 Upon investigating, the Nug- get discovered that there is no copy of the pending bill, available in Nome at the present writing, and it therefore unable to give full details concerning the pro- posed bill, introduced by Dele gate Dimond.
 Efforts are being made to ob- tain copies as soon as possible. and it is understood the subject will probably be brought up for general discussion before the Chamber membership at its next meeting.
