Art Museums and Hospitals.
By Florence S. Bergman.

Creative Experiments in Photog-
raphy," dealing with old New Or
leans and other subjects, by Pvt.
Clarence j. Laughlin, is an exhi-
bition far above the usual display
in its field. 1t opened at the Phil
lips Memorial Gallery August /,
simultaneously with the RETROSPECT
tive show of paintings by John
Marin. Both displays remain to the
end of this month.
Mr.. Laughlin's photographs, which
fill the printrooms, testify to his
vivid imagination, as well as to his
keen observation and technical IA
cility. He is obviously a spend
thrift in ideas and is unabashedly
romantic in viewpoint. This COM
plex of qualities has resulted in
many admirable photographs, a few
failures from the standpoint of
ideas, not technique) and a re-
markably wide range of subjects.
The Aforementioned do not include
cute babies, pretty women and ap-
pealing domestic animals, which
seem to be the usual Photographic
fare.
Five distinct groups in the exhibi-
ton reveal Mr. Laughlin's ideas and
aims. In a letter sent to the gallery
he set forth his conception of pho
Biography, as follows:
81 am interested in the symbolic
rather than the literal use of the
camera. In all my work I have
tions: /, that there is no essential
reason why the creative imagination
cannot work with a ray of light
acting upon sensitized surface as
effectively as it can with q brush
ladened with pigment: 2, that pho
Biography is one of the most au-
thentic and integral modes of ex-
preston possible in the particular
kind of world in which we live; 3,
that in photography as In all the
other arts, the quality of mans
Imagination is the only thing that
counts-technique and technical
proficiency mean nothing in them
selves"
Metal magic" is the title of his
first group of prints, the most un-
usual being photographs of dis
torted reflections in the metal parts
of cars headlights on a sunny
day. This commonplace, familiar
sight is generally ignored, but Mr..
Laughlin, like other artists, uses his
eyes to better advantage than do
must of us and finds strange worlds
in polished steel fender.
Fantasy in New Orleans" a group
: of 10 prints, comprises statues and
ironwork, tombstone has reliefs and
other expressions of folk art in sew
eral ancient cemeteries. Extensive
descriptions of the objects, their To-
cation and their history, written by
the photographer, are shown with
,, the prints, and greatly enhance their
! interest.
Authentic Flavor
. A third group Mr.. Laughlin calls
Lost New Orleans" lost In time
the streets that lead only to empti-
ness and ruin, to past that shall
neyermore return" These glimpses
OF old sections of the city now
regarded as slums, seldom visited by
tourists, will surely interest archi-
tects and historians, even though
the photographer claims he ap-
preached the buildings as psyche

Stranger on the Highway

6y w. N. nays. little, BrO1U71.) J
Here is a murder story. which
makes determined effort to escape
the routine procedures of it's kind.
1t tells the tale of crime in a very
small town, place too small, really,
to be called a town-one of those
multitudinous settlements which lie
along a great highway and are
passed by the motorist during the
lighting of a cigarette. Realism is
the means by which the author has
tried 10 distinguish his work from
the standard trade mystery. He has
undertaken to present his events
just as they might occur in such a
place, without benefit of horrors
and suspense, or even of an efficient
detective.
The effort turns out to be unsuc-
cesful. A murder mystery ap-
parently is one thing, and a study
of rustic atmosphere another. Before
his book is ended, Mr.. Hays has
been obliged to fall back on a num-
Der of tried and true crime story
devices, and his rustics have been
hastily recostumed to suit his plots
requirements. The outcome is
neither a satisfactory detective story
nor an authentic country novel

The loan includes not merely paint
ings but sculpture and art objects,
which are placed in the wards, din
ing halls, recreation rooms, etc. For

From Hollywood, Fla, via the
Corcoran Gallery of Art, word comes
that group of young artists, pain
ters and printmakers. are donating
some of their best pictures to the
Hollywood Hospital for the pleasure
of the patients and as memorial
to their friend and mentor, the late
Edward Bruce. An exhibition of
works by these same artists is an
nounCed by the Corcoran Gallery
for September 1928.
The Art Museum in San Diego,
Calf, has been taken over by the

Balboa Park, this museum was
practically Communicated, but cheer
fully relinquished. For the duration
the museum functions in a private
residence placed at its disposal. The
majority of its exhibits were trans
ported by the Government to a
place of safety somewhere west of
Denver" The building, at the close
of the war, will be restored to mu-
scum condition and functioning.
Carl Miles on Sculpture
Asked recently by the Art digest
to express himself concerning post
war art, Carl Miles, the renowned
Swedish sculptor, now head of the
department of sculpture of the
Cranbrook Academy, near Detroit,
said, in part: II do not know what
to say about postwar sculpture, or
sculpture 100 years later. All de-
pends Oh the condition of the world
If there will be some outstanding
sculptocrat at that time, if there will
be any patrons, any background for
their work. Anything can be
done, all depends upon the technical
knowledge and the spirit of the
artist himself. The most unbeliev-
able things can occur. just as the
Gothic art suddenly appeared, but
the most important thing is that we
use nature as base for our creations.
I do not believe that human brains
invent models and material to create
what does not now exist. We are
obliged to listen to the command of
nature and that is the beauty of
human creation" aq9 a7

Government, Business
and Values
BIZ BeardSLeu RunlI I

By Beardsley Run1l. (Harper.)
Beardsley Ruml, best known as
the protagonist of the "pay-as-you-
go" plan of taxation, writes here
his concept of the relations between
the American citizen and the vari-
Gus instrumentalities which exercise
control over the citizens affairs.
These are, he says, the public gov
ernment which is Government, and
the private governments which are
business, trade unions or profess
sional guilds, and the church. What
he decides is that all these agencies,
particularly public government and
business, ought to work together
nicely with the welfare of the citi-
zen as their objective, and that they
must exist with the citizens active,
conscious consent. His book is 52
pages long.

attain a fullness of life. If It
is lacking In the community, 1t can
not achieve the greatest purpose.
1t should therefore be the
aim of an all-around education
throughout the whole school life to
develop the powers of observation
and the inborn love of beauty"
In refutation of this premise some
will say: What is beauty; can you
define it?"
To which answer must be made
as ever: mo, but we can show it to
you" It is to be found on every
side, and eyes once opened to it
will give quick recognition. It. is
beauty for which the world hungers
today. To restore beauty and its ap-
probation to a war-torn world is,
indeed, the great part that teachers
and students of art may play.
AS preliminary to its delibera-
tions, the British committee set
down four points as implicit to the
inquiry. These were:
81. An appreciation of beauty is
essential to cultured civilization
and should be fundamental in the
educational system.
80. Development of the artistic
sense in every individual is particu-
larly necessary in an age that leans
toward mechanization.
"3. Throughout school life (pri-
mary and secondary education in
the realization of beauty and beau
tiful things should be given an inn
portant place.
a. In the schools OF art scheme
OF training should include art ap-
probation in addition to the prac-
tical application of art"
From first to last, this report, pub
lished in the Journal of the Royal
Society of Art, is forward looking
and gives a pattern for postwar ed
ucation which will extend into the
factory and into the home.

great African advance under Gen.
Alexander and other good news.
The title of the book is taken from
an address made at the Lord
Mayors day luncheon in London,
November 10, when, reviewing
favorable developments, he said:
Now, this is not the end. 1t is
not even the beginning of the end.
But it is, perhaps, the end of the
beginning"
The Land of the Great Image
By Maurice Coils. (Knopf.)
The author of this accomplished
piece of writing is retired
British civil servant who spent some
20 years of his public duty in India.
What he has written here is brief
chapter out of the history of Arakan,
a former independent kingdom
which, in the late 18th century,
became part of Burma. The period
with which Mr. Coils has occupied
himself is the early part of the 18th
century. Ostensibly, what he has
done is to describe the adventures of
a Portuguese Augustinian mission
ary, Friar Manrique, who from 1929
to 1887 labored in Arakan and subse-
quently wrote an account of his life
there and of the customs of the
country. This work is not available
to the public, and Mr.. Coils, having
studied it, feels, as he says, that
1t should be set forth in such a
way that "its implications (will
be- understood" So he has retold
Friar Manrique's tale with the bene-
fit of his own historical perspective.
The specific adventures which be-
fell the friar in Arakan, were
such that, in Mr. Coils view, they
have a modern significance. He
came sufficiently close to the Buddh-
ist king to be made aware of the
dream which obssessed the royal
mind at that time-a dream of driv-
ing back the invading Moslems, of
conquering Asia and eventually be-
coming lord of the world, to the
end that the true religion -Buddh-
ism-should be extended every
where. The ruler of the obscure
little Oriental kingdom dreamed
thus, while tolerating and extending
protection to the Roman Catholic
missionary from Europe. His dreams
came to nothing; he was murdered
and his kingdom disintegrated.
Friar Manrique returned to Portugal
and lived to see the downfall of his
own monarch's dream of Christian
empire on world scale-and was
himself murdered in his extreme old
age.
Out of these faint old ironies, Mr..
Coils raises the proposition that
today the two opposing concepts
OF the world state are once more in
conflict, represented by Japan and
the United States. The japanese,
he says, are striving once more to
make a universal kingdom under
Oriental sway, and their great
enemy is America, for when Amer
lea wins, in his view, America-not
Europe-will dominate Asia, and do
SO as part of a world organization
vowed to right conduct, as that
term is understood in all religions,
and strong enough to enforce right
conduct in all international rela-
tlons." America, then, in a broader
sense, will carry out the dream
which the Catholic missionaries from
Portugal carried to the East-or
Japan will succeed in her dream of
worldwide Buddhist empire.
The argument is tenuous, but the
wisdom, discrimination and beauty
OF the book are very considerable.
The thing unquestionab1y is liter
ature, minor contribution but
genuine and valuable. 7F
