The Arts Club last Sunday opened
its members show, which will remain
| for the summer. 1t is regrettable
to have to report that this is
disappointing and meXciting dis
play, generally speaking. Consider
ing the clubs large number of
painter members, one is forced to
conclude from the small size of
the exhibition AS works by "a
artists that a majority of them
! failed to take advantage of the
opportunity to show their work
This conclusion is strengthened by
the fact that number of paintings
in the dining room have been de
clared in" the show, by their inclu-
sion in the catalog; but as matter
of fact, they have been hanging
there for many weeks.
Landscapes comprise about two
thirds of the exhibition, street and
harbor scenes account for large
part of the remainder. The scenes
are pleasant per Sc. many of
them are technically we'll done, and
in the traditional manner. which
should make them agreeable to the
public. But there is a peculiarly
soporific atmosphere about the ex-
= u,l,n te
entity. Too many sweet, quiet, roll
ing countrysides give the visitor
the feeling of having had meal
composed entirely of desserts. Va
riety Is what the exhibition lacks.
However when one considers in
dividual works. one finds something
to commend. In the gallery, devoted
chiefly to oils. Minor Jameson
Mountains" John Proctor's two
views of Vermont, one a water front;
Virginia Wheatfield," by Robert E.
Motley, and Ethel Fosters pastel
on rough paper, THE Village"
viewed through leafless tree from
height, are place-portraits one
imagines would wear well in long
association.
Only three paintings hint Of the
present era: Lucia Holleriths
Marching Cedars,' with it's distant
flight of airplanes; Martha Moffett
Baches Another Spring." still
life of forsythia in an open window,
through which one sees soldier
and his girl, and Garnet Jexs
industrial scene, "Twenty-four Hours
Day." which impresses one as
better painting because of its
color than his mountainscape,
Vermont in Early Fall"
Arts Club sculptors are repre-
sented exclusively by Julie Manierre-
Mann. who shows two admirable
portrait heads, one of a Negro. the
other of an elderly woman, both
clean-cut and true to types. These,
with Catharine P. Melton's soft
toned oil portrait of boy land Mrs.
Bache's lovers) are the only repre-
sentations of human life among the
landscapes In the gallery.
In the reception room, largely
given over to water colors, Ruth
Perkins Safford's carefully studied
interior, Royal House, Medford.
Mass" and A. d. Pickett's Quiet
Street" are very pleasing. Madison
Small Leary shows an attractive
Still Life" in pastel. and there are
decorative flower studies by Clara
Saunders and Anna M. Kosinskv
Susan B. Chase's Fish House" is
something of a departure from her
landscapes and garden scenes, but
a good one. Suzanne Mullett's river
view. painted on wet paper, is one

proaches to the modern idiom,
