The PhillipS Memorial Gallery
opened last Sunday two exhibitions
of such varied character that they
promise to appeal to widely differ
ent tastes. Paintings in water color
and oil by John Marine fill galleries
D and E and overflow into the hall
on the second floor, while expert
ments in photography by Pvt. Clar-
ence Laughlin occupy the print
rooms, Furthermore, gallery c has
been rehung, and a new painting
by Georgia OKeeffe, of large, dark
red leaves on white, placed on view.
The present Marin exhibition is
entirely a loan show; 1t does not
include any of the artists works
owned by the Phillips Gallery.
The paintings on view constitute a
retrospective display covering more
than three decades, beginning with
several water colors of the Tyrol,
dated 1910, the year Marin returned
to this country after five years
abroad. He has not revisited Eu-
rope, which apparently had little
effect on his work.
He has devoted himself instead to
certain sections of America, chiefly
the Maine coast, where he spends
his summers; there are also few
landscapes Of New Mexico in the
Phillips Gallery show and several
Of New York City fn a suburb of
uThinln the orfict lives IN xYyty,forl
Marin's transcriptions of these
places are wholly in the modern
idiom. yet strongly individual and
personal. One finds no influences
in his work. Certain European
critics have hailed him as Amer
ica's greatest painter in water COL
ors, and some American critics have
coupled his name with those of
Winslow Homer, Sargent, the jap
anese Hokusai, the early Chinese
and others.
Jagged Enclosures
Features typical of Marin are his
tendency to "inclose" his painting
in jagged outlines, roughly oval or
angular In form, and to introduce
heavy lines in his work, which ap-
pear haphaZard to casual observers.
His paintings range from near-ab-
stractions, such as Pertaining to
Stonington, Maine" fdone In 1925
to such comparatively naturalistic
painting as his recent Boat and
Green Sea-" both of which are in
the current show. Yet every work
is indisputably his own.
To appreciate" or even to un-
derstand modern artists has been
getting more and more difficult for
the public for the last rs years.

Is a masterpiece, but poor justice
can be done in SO little space. But
the works themselves are where they
can be seen. The Freer Gallery is
open every day except Monday, and
information concerning the exhibits
can be had upon request. At no
time is the entire collection on view
but through application works in
the reserve section may be seen and
studied by students.
Built Around Court
The Freer Gallery is built around
a court, open to the sky but glazed
in. There is fountain in the center
encircled at present by a ring of
blossoming petunias. There are low
and high growing shrubs, fine wis
terra vine which has climbed to the
roof, an equally vigorous and am
bilious trumpet creeper and a white |
rose, both in bloom.
In the early days of the gallery, |
two lordly peacocks strutted to and |
fro in the court-aS a tribute, or |
should one say, introduction to the |
Whistler peacock room" installed |
in the southeast corner. But they
did not live and were not replaced |
In addition to the Chinese exhibits |
there are now to be seen in the en-
circling galleries to the south, etch-
ings, water colors and oils by Whis- |
tier and few very fine paintings |
by other American artists. While |
very different in many ways there is
a certain relationship among these |
works now brought together under |
one roof which reminds that art is
universal language, that of all
those things which endure the most
enduring of all are art and ideas
both of which are within the prov
ince of the artist. 1t is on this
ground-perhaps this ground only
that East and West, retaining their
individuality, can meet happily,
amicably.
Jade Carvings on View
In the National Museum
A large collection of Chinese jade
carvings and little snuff bottles
made in China in the 18th century
has been lent anonymously by a To-
cal collector to the Smithsonian In
stitute and is on view under the
auspices of the National Art Collec-
ton in the United States National
Museum, Tenth street and Constitu-

435 examples and of the latter more !

miraculaus dexterity by the most |

NV Sisters Novel
By Mary-Carfer Roberts

Is complete, 1t faces the world on
every side, an unbroken circle. The
mongrel soul, on the other hand,
Is Clipped and broken and shaped
by circumstances. It ''flts in" and
in the fitting process 1t loses It's
own integrity. 1t Is society. The
other one Is man.
Your novel is the story of how
Marius, a man, learned about So
ciety in microcosm which could
be any place or any time. I con-
graduate you on the skill with
which you have blended specific and
the universal and I recognize the
precision of your localisms. You
have reality there, in the timely
sense, but that is not creative writ
ing. That is just reporting. What
makes your book good-makes 1t
book, in shorts the fact that you
have, somehow, dissociated your
unexceptionably exact modern Ohio
village from geography and time
alike and put it in lasting per-
spective. Had you not done that,
you would have done nothing, for
I am obliged to tell you, my child,
that anybody could have thought
up your plot and many could have
written your descriptions" though
they are well done at that.
Now this is all on the note OF
praise, but it is elementary praise,
and I would have you remember
that. I do not acclaim you for
having written great book-you
haven't. I acclaim you for having
written thing which comes within
the class in which greatness is
possible. I will not labor the point.
You know what mean. If you do
not, then forever after hold your
peace. Take your pen to Holly
wood, In such case: hold proudly
out for the highest bidder. But I
think you do know. Hail and fare
Well.-Mary Carter,

BIZ Vincent McHugh. (Simon
q, Ccbuefor

bV vincent WCHugN. loWGOt
& SchuSterD
This novel belongs to a genus
which ordinarily branches into one
of two species. 1t is the novel
of the humankind put into violently
unusual circumstances where Gus
tomary behavior patterns no longer
hold good. In general such a work
turns either to satire or to Utopian-
ism. But in this book neither di-
rection is followed. Mr.. McHugh
seems to have written a mere fam
tasy, just for the fun of writing 1t.
He gives us New York City few
years after the end of the present
war, when the era of planning"
has gotten under way. A strange
epidemic breaks out. The effect of
the disease is to destroy inhibitions
and release instincts. The popula-
ton of the city goes on a huge
holiday. The municipal organiza-
tion has a hard time holding things
together until the malady runs its
course. That is about all there is
to the story.
Mr.. McHughs concept of the av-
erage citizen in, as it were, a state
Of nature, Is, however, diverting
His idea seems to be that there
are two kinds of men-those who
need nothing but minor satisfac-
tions and an elite who deserve the
right to control and administer the
others. The former kind is the av-
erage man. Under the influence of
the strange fever he reveals himself
as a good-natured, irresponsible
child whose wants are no more than
to play, to eat we'll and to make
love. Contrasted is the ruling
clique-the planners-who, by hard
work, keep the town in order during
the crisis. If we were all acting
as we want to act, says Mr.. Nc
Hugh In effect, we would show our
selves as a race of happy slaves and
benevolent slave drivers.
1t is an amusing thing, though
marred by passages of what seems
to be deliberate vulgarity.
The Barefoot Mailman
By Theodore Pratt. (DueH
Sloan & Pedrce.)
This is very pleasant little book
which has its charm in a constant
irony. 1t is the story of the un-
pretentious origins, of one of the
most pretentious places in the world
Palm Beach. Back in the 8Os the
famous resort was only tiny cluster
OF thatched huts inhabited by
group of individualistic pioneers. It
is in that period that Mr.. Pratt has
set his story, and while he never
labors the contrast, his pictures of
the early innocence and simplicity
which obtained under the coconuts
is agreeably amusing.
The story is Of young man who
gets the job of mail carrier from
Palm Beach to Miami and meets
with many adventures along his
route. The whole picture of the
then primitive coast line is brought
in-the houses of refuge for ship
wrecked sailors, the gangs of beach,
combers. the native inhabitants and
so on. The boy has narrow squeaks
and eventually meets the girl as
well. The work will not set the
world on fire. but it Is a very nice
little thing for purely entertaining
reading.

War Fund Gift Halls
Memory Of Six Chums
Missing in Action

In memory of six friends in the
Boys Club of Washington, who have
been reported killed or missing in
action, four former Boys Club men,
bers have sent 500 contribution
to the Community War Fund in
p the hope that 1t will stimulate the
people on the home front to accept
their responsibilities and put Com
munity War Fund over the top"
Coleman Jennings, Community
War Fund campaign chairman,
made public the letter accompany
ing the contribution today as the
campaign entered its final phase.
= With Friday set assthe end of the
campaign, the War fund is stin
$780, 900 short of It's goal. e
The letter was signed by Capt.
Barnwell Smith, Army Air Forces:
Seaman First Glass William
Scraggs, Pvt. Peter Cokas, Army

kas. The friends, in whose name
the contribution was made, are
George Woods, missing at sea;
Joseph Gooding. who was killed
when his Army plane crashed;
Melvin Shewbridge, missing at sea:
Hugh Armstrong, killed in action;
'bt. Jake Lewis, navigator on a
bomber shot down In Africa, and
Everett Meeks. killed in action in
the North Atlantic. Il
The four contributors wrote Mr..
Jennings they had heard the Com
munfty War Fund had not reached
Its goal, while they were recently
horne, on furlough.
Special Significance.
This, had a special significance
for us" they wrote, because we
realized that the Boys Club gave
us many years of service in our
boyhood and in a number of re-
spects was responsible for the basic
training and background needed
for good soldering. We figured
1t taught us the Importance of fair
play, good sportsmanship, Coop
Grafton and loyalty and our train
ing in club athletics made the step
Into military life simple one.
when We evaluated all of these
things and realized how much
service and hospitality have been
afforded us by the USO and other
servicemen's organizations by the
way Of Community War Fund, we
decided that the campaign must
be successful.
so, for that reason and in
memory of six former members of
the Boys Club of Washington who
have given their lives to the serv-
ice OF their country we wish
to offer a contribution of 500 from
the present and alumni members of
the club to Community War Fund in
the hope that this will stimulate the
people on the home front to accept
their responsibilities and put Com
munity War Fund over the top"
Check From Persia.
Mr.. Jennings told of another gift
from a serviceman, this one from
Persia. The check for 1923 came
from Corpl Andre d. Koson, who
expressed this thanks for "the Won
derful times your splendid organiza-
ton has shown me and my many
buddies in the States and here in
Persia" Corpl. Koson added that
he was sure you can always use
Just little more to make soldiers
happy during these trying times"
