Soldiers Of Production" is the
title given a special exhibition OF
paintings Of war work now on view
in the National Gallery OF Art. 1t
consists of water colors and drawings
by eight American artists who on
the recommendation of the Section
of Fine Arts were appointed by the
ONCE of Emergency Management to
pictorially present what is being
done in our factories, machine shops,
ship yards, etc., to enable us, with
our Allies, to win the war The en-
ployment which was at q nominal
sum was for one month only but
special permission was given the
artists to witness the work at first
hand in order to correctly inter-
pret It. A great opportunity for
public service and artistic achieve
ment was thus afforded.
The artists so privileged and
honored were from six States and
the District of Columbia. They are
as follows: Howard Cook, Taos, N.
Mex; David Fredenthal. Claremont,
NJ. H.; George Harding, Philadelphia,
Pa: Mitchell Jameson, Washington,
D. c.; Richard Jansen, Milwaukee,
Wis; Carlos Lopez, Detroit, Mich;
Ogden Pleissner and Reginald
Marsh, both of New York City, all
of whom have attained to consider
able distinction.
The result on the whole, however,
is very disappointing. The purpose
of these paintings obviously was to
arouse in the public, when exhibited,
enthusiasm and deepened sense OF
patriotism, instead of which they
collectively tend to engender dis
couragement and a let-down of con-
f1dence, the majority are spiritless
and vapid; the machinery is for the
most part static, the workers are
in most instances without apparent
interest in their jobs or zest. For
some strange reason the artists seem
not to have caught the spirit OF that
which they undertook to present
for 1t Is unbelievable that the spirit
is not there.
This is not to say that artistic
ally the pictures are not well rend-
cred but in this instance is not
sufficient. It is the power of
production, man power and machine
power, on which we rest our faith,
that inspires, and should be inter-
preted, but for some reason is not.
It's absence gives every onlooker
pause.
To be sure some of the paintings
show the interior of great work
shops where planes are being built
and other essential work carried
on. But the machinery does not

Meyerowitz Exhibit

William Meyerowitz is a doubly-
gifted artist whose work in both
painting and etching has been ex-
hibited in one-man shows in Wash
ington this season. An admirable
group of his color -etchings was
displayed at the National Museum
in December, and reviewed by Miss
Mechlin the 18th of that month.
A comprehensive collection OF his
oil paintings opened last Sunday at
the Arts Club, to remain until
April 10.
The work of this artist is strongly
individual. His modernism is based
upon solid foundation of academic
Gaining at the National Academy Of
Design. AS Miss Mechlin pointed
out, he is especially fond of color;
but his use of it is very personal.
In some of his etchings. he obtained
a toneful richness reminding the
observer of painting. In certain OF
his paintings, on the other hand, the
color seems a delicate fragile wash
over the structural foundation. He
appears to be much interested in
atmospheric effects, which he
achieves by varying his application
of paint. Viewing his group of Is
paintings in the Arts Club gallery
as an entity, the visitor is impressed
with a predominant blond tonality.
Yet many of the individual paint
ings are richly colorful.
Possibly because ofstheir associa-
tional qualities, his New England
subjects are perhaps most appealing
to the average persons Mr.. Meyero-
witz, who lives In New York City,
spends his summers irl East Glouces-
ter, Mass, and at least third OF
the exhibition now on view, COM
prises fruits Of his sojourns there.

'SkILIN' THR0UGH' BRINGS ROMANCE
 TO CAPITOL BILL
Immortal Love Brought 10 Screen by Jeanette
 MaCDonald

Teamed together for the first time on the screen, Jeanette Mac Donald and Gene Raymond play the sweethearts of the immortal "Smilin' Through also starring Brian Aherne, which is now on the Capitol Theatre screen.
 Photographed in Technicolor, the world famous love story comes to the screen with rich musical score by Herbert Stothart as well as an all-star cast including Ian Hunter, Patrick O'Moore, Frances Robinson and little Jackie Horner.
 Written by Jane Cowl and Jane Murfin, "Smilin' Through" tells of an immortal love which not even death can kill. Not even the death of his sweetheart at the hands of jealous suitci on the eve of their wedding can make Sir John Carteret forget the lovely Moon- yean. Miss Mcdonald is seen as both Moonyean and Kathleen, while Aherne plays Sir John Carteret and Gene Raymond Jeremy and Ken meth Wayne. Norma Shearer CO., starred with Leslie Howard in an earlier version of the story in 1892.

Only B Atlantic Sinkings Announced for August
 -Rate Falling

NEW YORK, Aug. 31.-The bat tie of the Atlantic has grown into major front proportions during the nearly eight months of the war, having claimed 449 Allied and neu- tral merchant ships and the lives of more than 5000 seamen, the Associated Press tabulation of an- nounced sinkings disclosed today
 The number of victims, however, dropped astonishingly during July and August. Figures showed that June, with l09 announced sinkings, was the most disastrous period. Forty-five were announced in July and only g to date in August
 Two incidents this week provid- ing further hint as to how mer- chantmen are faring lately include an announcement from Berlin ad- mitting that U-boats are encoun- tering vicissitudes in Atlantic coast al waters, and the fact that Am erican Marine Insurance under writers have cut cargo war risk rates on certain voyages five per- cent.

AMERICAN B0MBER5 IN
 BIG ATTACK
Enemy AirfieIds Near Mat. ruh, Tobruk Harbor
 Hit by Raiders

CAIRO, Aug. 31. = United States bombers in the Middle East effec- lively attacked enemy airfields east of Marus Harbor and dock facili- ties at Tobruk.
 Both medium and heavy bombers participated in the operations and all American aircraft returned safely after the batterings.
 Second Lieut.. Harry Weiss, of Broadheadsville, Pa, said an in land supply dump was blasted, and he saw bombs hit the middle tar get while over Tobruk he saw bombs burst and swell into a mass of flames which seemed to be a mile in area.
 Second Lieut.. John Burger of San Francisco said explosions seemed to lift whole buildings into the. air
