Paris Exhibition Ends Today

Ne1D Sho1U to Be Installed at
Museum of Modern Art.
The current exhibition, Paris
Painters of Today" in the Museum
of Modern Art Gallery of Washing
ton may be seen for the last time
this afternoon, after which it will
be dispersed. For week the gal
lery will be closed while these
paintings are taken down and those
constituting the fourth exhibition
of the season hung
The new exhibition will open a
week from today with a preview for
members, as usual. 1t will illustrate
"A Century of American Painting"
and promises to evoke exceptional
interest because of a unique contest
which Is to be instituted In connec-
ton Herewith. The collection to be
placed on view will comprise paint
ings by 81 deceased but, presumably,
well-known American artists. For
the first two weeks Of the showing
these will be displayed without
designation, name plates and sigma
lures being covered or removed, and
visitors will be asked to make at
tribution. This will not only test
the knowledge of the public of char
acter and style of outstanding
painters, but lead, 1t is thought, to
better appreciation. The prize
awards will take the form of men,
berships in the museum.
This novel contest will be open to
the public from March Z to 18. At
the end of this period the exhibition
will extend through April 2. with the
canvases identified as usual. During
the time Of the contest, in order to
induce participation, no admission
charge will be made. Later the usual
rules in regard. thereto will be in
force-Wednesdays and Saturdays
free; all other days except Mondays,
when the gallery is closed, a fee of
Is cents.
An exceptionally large attendance
is reported at the exhibition, Paris
Painters of Today" just closing, at
which, furthermore, four sales were
made. These were Moulin de la
Galette." by Utrillo; "LEnfant
Royal" by Heraut; lie Singe," by
Tal-Coat, and Moulin au Repos," :"
by Bombois
Special interest attaches to the
first of these purchased paintings,
because of the rather absurd, but
not insignificant, controversy, lately
given publicity, between Utrillos
agent in New York and the customs
collectors of that great port as to
whether his paintings we're originals
or copies, the latter claiming that
they were painted from picture post
cards. AS Utrillo is one of the lead
ing modernists who scorn reality,

robots. IS it, one wonders, as an
eminent oculist on the Pacific
Coast-Dr. Mills-has suggested, in
his published contributions to scien-
tific journals, that poor vision is
more than two-thirds accountable
for the misshapen objectivity of
modern painters today. OF the
works in landscape little need be
said. With all Scotland's loveliness
within arms reach, these painters
have chosen to depict that which is
most homely and dreary. Why,
unless to them it accords with life?
Early in the week, when this ex-
hibition was reviewed, there was on
the table in the Whyte Bookshop.

its best, bat in striking contrast to
the works of the painters.

American Indian Arts
Excellent Demonstration at Be-
theSda Exhibition.

Excellent Demonstration at Be-
theSda Exhibition.
The ascendency of the American :
Indian in the esteem of his pale
lace contemporaries is one of the
brighter aspects Of our national life.
1t is not altogether recent, of course.
Capt. Smith started the vogue of
the noble red man with the most
romantic of all Indian tales and was
followed by other writer's such as
Kenmore Cooper and Longfellow.
But up to very recent times the ma
jorjty of Indians were still, in the
opinion of the whites, either scalp
collecting savages or reproachful
economic problems and their handi-
crafts were installed as curiosities
IN chronological museums.
But today the red man Is re-
garded as about 80 per cent noble
and his crafts are art, not ethnology.
Fine examples are owned by the
leading museums of the countr~
and invited abroad for exhibition.
where Europeans generally consider
them more significant and impor-
tant than white" American art.
Why this is So is newly demon
strated by an exhibition at the
Chalet Nonpareil in Bethesda.
The exhibition is small. but COM
prehensive in scope and high in
quality Sponsored by the Bureau
of Indian Affairs, Department of
the Interior, 1t is derived from sew
eral sources. The American Fed
Grafton of Arts lent a group Of 20
objects which was part of the
United States display at the Paris
Exposition in 1887 and has been
travelling in this country since its
return. Included are rugs and
blankets, beaded moccasins and
bags, pottery, both red and black
types; silver jewelry and kachinas.
The Federation also lent Is repro
ductions of Pueblo Indian paintings,
published in France few years ago
excellent facsimiles of the origi-
mails. Ten examples of blankets,
baskets and pottery are from the
collection of DR.. D. Riley Moore and
several oil portraits of Indians are
loans from the painter, Catherine
Critcher.

Especially did Lord Bryce delight in
Rock Creek Park, and many were
the strolls he took through its wood
land, the recollection of which found
expression in little book, privately
printed and widely distributed,
shortly before he returned to Eng
land. MI. Bush-BroWn caught in
this portrait in bronze the commin-
Cling of seriousness and humor in

Sculpture at Corcoron

Bronze Bust OF Viscount Bryce
Lent By Bush-BroWn.
The Corcoran Gallery of Art has
recently received as an indefinite
loan from the sculptor's widow a
portrait in bronze of the late Wis.,
count Bryce, formerly Ambassador
from Great Britain. the work of
Henry K. Bush-Brown. 1t is an ex-
cellent likeness, modelled from life,
and conveys, especially to those who
knew him, very true impression of
his personality. Few representatives
from foreign countries have been
more respected and beloved here
than Lord Bryce. His book, "The
American Commonwealth" is still
regarded as authoritative; his inter-
est in Washington, as well as all
that went toward its physical i'm
provement, can never be forgotten
by Washingtonians of other years.

ether hand, the customs authorities
certainly displayed fogginess of un-
derstanding of the rea1 character of
art when attempting to trace a
work to. its inspirational source and
define originality. Obviously a pic
ture post card would seem to be a
meager thing to call into such use,
but if from such meagerness the art
ist found real inspiration with releas-
ing power, more is the wonder, and
less the reason for complaint, Judg-
ment must rest upon result. The
means thereto must be left to the
artist and his own conscience. One
may not like Utrillo's works, but the
most critical can find in them little
resemblance to picture post cards
from which they are said to be de-
rived. Perhaps some would like them
better If they were. If the Govern
ment wants to keep out of the
United States works by European
modernists, it should-and probably
could-flnd better reasons for it
than this.

u. S. CHEMISTS NOW
ARE WORLD LEADERS
Outstrip All Nations in Syn.
thetic Products.

New York.-The United States is
outstripping all nations in synthe-
tic chemistry, it is declared in the
American Chemical society's annual
review of scientific progress.
"The huge. tonnages of synthetic
products used in this country are
daily increasing and their variety
widening at a rate far greater than
can be equaled in any other country
of the world" it is said.
Frequent announcements from
abroad of new synthetic products
have continually caused a momen-
tary stir in mems minds. The an
nouncement, for example, that a
chocolate bar which looks like soap
but tastes like chocolate has been
synthesized in Germany from coal
tar raw materials and actually mar
keted appears at first to indicate
that our foreign brethren still lead
us in cleverness.
However, when this and similar
announcements are checked and
their significance is evaluated, the
impression is largely nullified. Sim
liar agitation has been caused from
time to time by reports of new
synthetic rubberlike m eri ais
abroad, which often turn out to be
more interesting than important; in
this field particularly the United
States, with at least two such syn
thetic materials in large scale COM
mercial production, definitely leads
the world. More and more the real
advances of industry based. on
scientific discovery in the United
States are becoming everyday ar
ticles of commerce which the man
in the street fails to recognize as
synthetic.
The upturn in the chemical in
dustry during 1886 was so pro-
nounced that well qualified chem
lists have become scarce, according
to the review, which reports an &C
CELEBRATED demand for chemical
equipment, particularly abroad.

Paderewski's Love For Homeland
Comes Before His Musical Activity

much for his native land of Poland,
even to devoting his musical genius
and fortune to winning its independ-
ence, now is thinking again of desert
ing his piano to aid his country.
AS the Nazi threat becomes more
ominous, so does the great pianist
composers concern for his native
country grow, and he has offered
himself again at the disposal of his
government at the age of 70. He
determined to take up the fight
against German designs on the
Ukraine, a territory which includes
his birthplace of Korolowska. The
great musician, who calls himself,
"first patriot, then a musician"
worked tirelessly for the liberation
and unification of his country during
the World war period.
Despite his bitter fight with Pol
ish politicians which cut short his
career as premier of Poland the great
musician is willing again to aid his
nation. His renewed interest in poll
tics also seems to have given him
back some of his old time physical
vigor. He has enjoyed a successful
fall and winter on the concert stage
in England and leads, generally, a
strenuous life.
Resides on Large Estate.
His residence is a spacious villa,
with Mont Blanc in the background,
and it is there that he practices his
music, superintends his greenhouses
and chicken farm and entertains hun
dreds of his friends.
His 80-year-old sister, Madame
Antoinette Wilkonska, directs the Is
servants who keep order in his large
house. His head gardener, Etienne
Dolejal, is the brother of one of Po-
lands most prominent politicians and
one of the worlds most highly
medalled gardeners in his own right.
Paderewski has the habit of early
rising, principally, he says, so he will
have time to dress slowly and care
fully before o'clock breakfast.
He spends mornings in strolling his
spacious estate. From noon until
o'clock he practices his music. At
3 o'clock comes lunch, followed by
an hour spent reading dozen news
papers in French, Polish and German.
Although he protests, doctors or
ders make him nap each day, after
which he returns to his piano for
another three hours.
Talks With Every Guest
At o'clock dinner is served, al
ways Polish dishes. Bridge follows,
or discussion with friends from Gen.
eva or Lausanne, or with house guests
continually dropping in from nearly
every country of the world.
Every Sunday the masters friends
and neighbors are hidden to a re-
ception. A huge table, laden with
wine and Polish cakes, is placed in
the center of the living-room. Pad
erewski makes it point of honor to
exchange at least few words with
everyone present.
Among Paderewski's closest friends
is Joseph Turczinski, director of the
Polish National Conservatory, with
whom Paderewski is collaborating on
a new edition of the works of Fred
erick Chopin, the earlier Polish gen.
Jus.
But-he insists
"My deepest interest in life lies
with my country. We have many
neighbors, including some enemies,
and Poland is not yet safe"
