come to mind which must have en-
larged understanding as well as
brought pleasure to the beholders.
Landscapes in which were found a
true Interpretation of the miracle
working illusion of light and air;
figures painted veraciously but with
sympathy and a certain nobility:
pictures which stirred admiration
and engendered ideals, which were
produced furthermore with skill and
more than a touch of genius. OBJ
viously it is the way thing is done
that signifies primarily, but there
is also something to be said for
selection and composition. There
is nothing wrong with modernism
save when wrongly applied. The
great modernists were, in many in
stances, eccentric but well trained
and greatly gifted. To copy their
eccentricities does not put the imi-
tator on an equal footing with them.
1t was despite these that distinction
was attained AS Royal Cortissoz
once reminded an audience, Every
young artist is not a ball of fire"
But enough of generalities and
background.

Turning to the current eXhibi-

tive of progress or retrogression,
none can deny it variety and in
terest, or set aside the fact, pain
full or pleasurable, that it is typical
of today.
Among the prize winners in this
display were two artists we'll known
in local art circles and beyond their
boundaries - Nikolai Cikovsy, a
member of the faculty of the Cor
coran School of Art, and Oke Nord-
gren, who is employed by the Cor
coran Gallery. The winning pic
lures, in both instances, were sub
jectively associated with railway

shows rather remarkable handling

To the writer, more impressive is
Mr.. Nordgren's large canvas in the
next gallery, entitled Picnic in the
Catskills," in which a broad land
scape is rather handsomely rem
dered and the picnic party in the
foreground admirably welded into
the composition. Likewise. even
more agreeable in color is Mr.
Cikovsky's still life, Bread and
Wine" which also hangs in the
second gallery and is broadly and
knowingly rendered. His figure of
a woman, in the first gallery, is a
strong piece of simple, representa-
tive painting-a work which takes
high place.

Fresh Viewpoint ShOUn in
Display of Photographs.
Margaret Bourke-White, one Of
the most widely known American
photographers, has an exhibition
sponsored by Alpha Omicron Pi
sorority at the studio of Lucille Will
kinson, 804 Seventeenth street NV,
which is open to the public until
mid-February.
A fresh viewpoint, romantic mag
lnation and the use of unusual per-
, spective. make the difference be-
| tween the work of this artist, and
so many technically excellent but
generally mediocre pictures in ex-
hibitions of photography. Miss
Bourke-White gained her reputa-
ton with striking studies of indus
trial subjects-building construc-
ton, steel mills. stockyards, grain
elevators, oil derricks and many
similar elements of contemporary
civilization. The objects constitute
almost abstract patterns with strong
contrasts of light and dark areas,
as one can see in several prints in
the present show-newsprint drying

Penetrating Studies.

others constitute about half Of the

range from penetrating studies Of

came a Law last week with final ap-
prevail OF the bill by Governor Ford.
Subjected to many amendment at
tempts-the last of which failed in the
house-the bill had originally intended
to boost house membership to lo3 but
was changed 50 that the reapportion-
no.. o: tae house would be acconp-
lished on a basis of the 1910 census.
The bill places the ratio Of repre-
sentation at one r noer for each
1000 persons in any county or major
fraction thereof.
It Will give Lake county two mem
bers in place Of the one as at present,
In place Of the present five. Counties
