Likewise dramatic but only
through implication Is a painting by
Sergt. Michael Ramus, entitled

merely picture a typical Negro cabin

that initial success there was born
the Belgian Piano-String Quartet.
g. Mombaerts, c. Foidart and
Joseph Wetzels, who play the piano,
viola and cello, respectively, are still
members of the group today. The
ensemble is completed with Albert
Rahier, accomplished violinist.
Since its formation the quartet
has made highly successful tours
of the United States and Europe.
Probably, however, one Of the real
tributes to these master musicians
can be found in the large number
of works by eminent composers that
have been dedicated to them. A
composition in this category is In
/ cluded in the program for tomor-
row nights concert. That number
Is Marcel Poot's Quartet, completed
in 1882 and, dedicated to the Bel

The Belgian Piano-String Quartet
is widely recognized as one of the
most accomplished chamber music
units to be found anywhere. It's
fame dates from its first concert
in 1927. At that time Charles
Houdret, the young Belgian COM
poser, had just finished a quartet
for piano and strings and sought
vainly for an organization to play
it. 1t was then that Joseph Wetzels
and his former student, C. Foidart,
collaborating with G. Mombaerts
and an unnamed violinist, came to
his rescue and organized themselves
into quartet for the specific pur-
pose Of performing the Houdret
Quartet. This was done shortly
afterward to the enthusiastic ac-

use Of visiting artists, modelling as

It is q charming conception Of a
sanity woman, wrapped In holi-
ness" but not entirely removed
from things of this world. Like her
great predecessor Of the 18th cen
tury, st. Therese of Spain, this
Norman nun advocated good deeds
as means of bringing Heaven to
earth and spent her comparatively
short life in demonstrating her
conviction. In Liseux is one Of the
most beautiful Norman cathedrals
In all France. The setting was as
it should be for the cultivation and
maintenance of sainthood. All this
one seems to see in the little figure
Mrs. Gardner has modelled. Wear
ing her nuns habit, tall but very
slender, she Is shown with arms
crossed as though holding to her
self, and close, something very pre-
cious. Over her shoulders garlands
of roses typify the perfume Of sane
tity. The modelling is very simple
but sensitive.

Grotpers Paintings OF War
Create Powerful Impression.

The horrors Of the present war
and the terrible suffering it entails
could not be more wildly pictured
than in the paintings by William
Gropper of New York, which, with
works by number Of American
artists Of Russian birth. have been
on view In the handsome auditorium
of the Chamber of Commerce OF
the United States under the aus
pices Of the Art Committee, Of the
Russian War Relief, Inc. 50
Gropper was born In New York
City In 1897 and studied under
Robert Henri, George Bellows and
Howard Giles. He is best known
perhaps for his illustrations and
cartoons, although he has won dis
tinction by his Autographs and
decorative designs. His war pictures
are essentially subjective. Not only
do they convey their meaning on
the instant but they hit and hit
hard. No better argument for
pacifsm could there be than he has
given. The haunting horror Of the
scenes he has depicted, once seen
can never be forgotten. This Is
not question OF paint on canvas
but of something to say and said
unequivocally. The terror of the
people he has painted during blitz-
kriegs, the suffering Of the outcast
and bereaved, the blackness Of every
outlook, creeps into the conscious
ness Of the observer, SO terribly real
is the presentation. "It may happen
to us, to me-" Is the thought which
flashes across the inner conscious
ness. And why not? The only an
swer is-war must end. No longer Is
1t banners and bands and marching
men-but hell upon earth. This
Gropper shows in his factual IL
lustrations which "all who run may
read" -
Although such painters as Sterne
and Karfoil and others well known
were represented in the section OF
this exhibition given over to works
by the Russian born, what they hae
to say was inconsequential in COM
parison. In fact, most Of the con.
tributions from this group were dull
and gloomy, unnecessarily homely

For Jade Collectors.
Much interest was shown last sea-
son in collection Of jade exhibited
in the National Museum as a loan
from Georges Estopey Of New
York. To those who saw this exhi-
bition, as well as all interested IN
carvings In this beautiful material,
a sumptuous volume on Chinese
Jade, just published by the Norton
Gallery and School of Art. at Palm
Beach, Fla, cannot fail to further
instruct and increase enthusiasm.
1t is by Stanley Charles Mott, who
has lately been appointed honorary
curator OF the department OF orr
entail art of the Norton Gallery, and
it has to do with examples Of carved
jade in his own quite extensive
collection.
The foreword is by distinguished
Chinese scholar and expert. The
illustrations, of which 118 are full
page, are half tones and line en-
cravings, and SO excellent that they
truly interpret the translucent quail
ity of the jade, as well as evidence
the amazing craft of the carvers.
The Norton Gallery at Palm
Beach is one of the youngest OF our
art museums. The fact that 1t has
sponsored the publication Of this
volume goes to show the breadth
of field it proposes to cover.
From Dnrer to Rembrandt.
The Whyte Gallery, 17o7 H street
NV, Is holding this month an exhi-
bition entitled Prom Durer to
Rembrandt" which consists Of orig
inal etchings and engravings by
these early masters such as are
rarely seen outside Of museums and
auction rooms. That any considers
BILE number of these are still avail
able through purchase seems almost
miraculous when it is remembered
that the blocks and plates from
which the prints were made were
engraved or etched from 400 to 500
years ago. That these impressions
have survived goes to show how
much they have been appreciated
and treasured.

that 4 stable force is backing
the remnants OF the British
Eighth Army and those units Of
the British Ninth Army which
were sent to the Egyptian battle
line.
The dark spot in the picture,
however, is whether the Nazis
will rush troops across the Med
iterranean equal In number to
those which have reached the
Allies in Egypt. Marshall Rom
mel has superiority In tanks be-
cause of the large number he
captured from the British, but
the Allies maintain superiority In
the air, which they had even
when Marshal Rommel was push
ing ahead last week at the rate
Of IS miles a day.
Berlin Was Surprised.
From reliable information 1t
appears that the German high
command which has been pre-
pairing for months to make a gi-
santic drive against the Russians,
regarded Marshal Rommers ac-
ton in Libya merely as a diver
sion to keep the British worried.
. A relatively small number of
motorized units were sent to
Libya to reinforce the Afrika
Korps and insignificant additions
were made to Marshal Rommels
aviation.
The Nazi high command hoped
that Marshal Rommel would take
Tobruk, or invest 1t, but on the
basis Of its information, which
showed that the British and I'M
perial troops had superiority In
men, mechanical forces and avi-
alton, the Nazi high command
could not hope for more than =
spectacular diversion In North
Africa. Berlin's surprise Ut the
amazing advance Of the Axis
forces toward Alexandria must
have been as great as Washing
tons and London's.
1t appears that the Nazis do
not have an unlimited supply Of
planes. Dispositions for an all
out attack Of the U. s. s. r. had
been taken for several months
