OF selection and award for this
important show and is represented
in it. In fact, although Mr.. Poor is
painter as well as potter, it is in
the field of ceramics that he has
perhaps made most notable con-
tribution.
The drawings which are on display
are done with a brush either COM
paratively free and flowing or
pointed and dry. They are of a
variety of things seen, and we're
presumably made as notes for re-
membrance and future reference.
To the non-professional they may
seem insignificant, but to the
painters confreres they will be fully
revealing. Indeed far more than
his large and labored murals in
the Department of Justice Building
do these skillful and pertinent little
drawings witness to the artists
keenness of perception and the
soundness of the foundation upon
which his art is built.
After student days at Stanford
University, California, he went
abroad and studied at the Slade

Current Exhibitions at the
Arts Club Dra,O Crowds


The Arts Club was crowded to
capacity last Sunday noon when
private view was held of exhibi-
tions of Portraits of Interiors" by
Ruth Perkins Stafford and Pencil
Drawings" by Frank N. Rines, which
opened to the public on Monday
These are outstanding displays,
artistically excellent and intrin-
sically delightful. Who does not
like to see the interiors of beautiful
houses, or the picturesque scenes
discovered and charmingly recorded
by an artist in his wandering around
New England and elsewhere? These
paintings and drawings admirably
complement each other.
Mrs. Stafford has made a speciality
of the painting of the interiors and
has brought it to exceptional sue
cess. Her medium is water color
and is handled with breadth and
precision. Her drawing is excellent
and her rendition of light extraor-
dinarily correct and clever. The
rooms she paints are as rule
flooded with sunlight, airy and fully
suggestive of having been lived in,
not set forth for show.
Of the 81 renderings which make
up her exhibition the majority were
done under commission and are of
interiors of historic houses such as
the Lee Mansion, Virginia; Ken
more, Wakefield and the Lee Man.
sion, Marblehead, Mass. A few,
however, are of those in private
homes, done as orders but not for
reproduction. Among the latter are
the dining room of the Francis B.
Crowinshield house, Boston; the hall
and stairs in the home of Mr.. and
Mrs. Morris of this city, and the
library in the home of Mrs. McCook
Knox in Georgetown.
Collectively, these paintings bear
testimony to the taste and culture
of American homemakers of a GEN.
tury and more ago and give occasion
for national pride. Individually,
they are pictorially pleasing, beau
tifully arranged, lovely in color,
delight to the eye-as for instance
have been for years and still are the
interiors of French homes of dis
tinction painted in oils by the late
Walter Gay. Mrs. Stafford is much to
be congratulated upon her achieve
ment and contribution.
The drawings by Mr.. Rines which
occupy the walls of the Arts Clubs
reception room, overfloWing into the
hall, are also accomplished and en-
gaging. 1t was such careful draw
ings as these which, in the days now
long past, were held up as exam
pies for students to folloy. But
that was when accuracy and skill
were accounted virtues.

Stettinius in Britain
For Lease-Lend Talks
n the Associated Press.

b. the Associated Press.
LONDON, July 16.-Edward r.
Stettinius, jr, United States lease
lend administrator, arrived in Brit
ain today for several weeks OF con-
ferences on the lease-lend program.
An unofficial American source said
Mr.. Stettinius' talks would concern
putting lease lend into reverse" to
speed the day of an invasion OF
Europe.
Under the reverse program, Brit
ain would supply American troops
with many articles while the United
States would send Britain raw ma
terials to make up losses.
It was pointed out that this would
make available for immediate Amer
lean use thousands of tons OF sup
plies which it would take weeks to
ship across the Atlantic.
The main problem of the Allies in
establishing second front was said
to be not the physical transportation
of troops to this theater Of war but
the massing of enough supplies to
feed. clothe and support sustained
effort on the continent.
Mr.. Stettinius is expected to tour
British manufacturing centers with
a view to establishing long-range
co-ordinated sh-American war
program.
