Artists Guild
Exhibition

During the current season the
Corcoran Gallery of Art will show a
series of exhibitions sponsored by
local art organizations. The first of
these, the Artists Guild of Wash
ington's third annual, opened a
week ago to continue through De-
cember 13. This consists Of 81
paintings in oil and water color
eight works in sculpture carved in
granite, marble, limestone and wood
as well as cast in cement, and a
group of drawings and prints, the
last occupying cases in the upper
atrium, the former set forth in the
gallery of special exhibitions. All
the exhibitors are members of the
guild and representation was limited
to one major exhibit each.
The Artists Guild membership is
largely made up of the so-called
advanced" element in the art of
today, those who, discarding tradi-
ton, are seeking new modes of ex-
preston along paths opened up by
the daring modernists of the past
generation. They forget perhaps
that there is only one royal road to
success in this field, that which
leads through truth to beauty, the
immutability of which has long been
established. Also that painting AND
sculpture only becomes of conse.

Potomac River
| Artists Exhibition

Native Westinghouse or long
time residents here are generally in
terested in learning the views OF
outsiders about our city and its en-
virons. A yeritable tidal wave of
newcomers impressions has swept
through the studios at BIB M street,
where the artists of the Potomac
River Group are holding their first
exhibition. 1t opened last Sunday
and closes tomorrow. 1t may be
seen today from l to pm.
The eight artist members of the
group are professionals, five of whom
now work for the War Department
One of them, Mai. John A. Bower
has just left for Europe. He is the
most conservative painter in the
group, which is not surprising when
one learns he is an architect by pro-
fession.
The group work is presumably
done as a hobby Of recreation. From
the 200 or more paintings and draw
ings in the exhibition (the large
majority being water colors) one get.
the impression that the artists have
derived much pleasure from theil
explorations of Washington, George.

Two giant figures made Of stone
exist in Egypt today. They are seat
ed on thrones, and If they were
alive they would be looking toward
the east.
The statues are 50 feet high, and
they were made during the reign of
King Amenhotep Sd about 5000
years ago. The stone for them was
taken from a quarry some distance
away and we are told that it was
brought to the spot on eight boats.
Great was the wonder of the reo-
pie of Thebes when the statues were
finished. Set up on the western
side of the Nile, at a spot near
Thebes, they were the greatest
statues which ever had been seen
in Egypt. Here are some facts which
will give you a better idea Of their
size:
The distance across the shoulders
is 18 feet inches.
Each head is 10 feet high.
The distance from the top of the
knee to the bottom of the foot OF
each leg is more than 10 feet.
The middle finger of one hand Is
1 feet long.
These statues are great sight
today, but there was q time when
one of them seemed even more Won
derful than it does now. Greeks
visiting Egypt in ancient times
heard it moan, so they called 1t
Memnon. In Greek myths, Memaon

stencil If you want to make a
number of cards, it is best to water
proof the stencil by giving it a coat
of shellac or wax
You will need an old toothbrush,
ink or water colors and knife for
the scattering. Lay the stencil on
the card, dip the bristles of the bush
into the color and shake out the
surplus. The brush should be nearly
dry or the spatters will be coarse.
Now draw the blade of the knife
toward you across the bristles. The
brush should be held quite close to
the paper The drops of color are
thrown on the paper, making the
design. With little practice you
will be able to regulate the spatter
to make parts of the design darker
than Others If you wish your card
to have two colors you will need two
stencils, scattering one color after
the other has dried.
The greeting may also be spat-
tered. Or it would be nice to write
a short, friendly note on the inside
of the card in longhand, in place
of the conventional greeting.
Either of these methods will pro-
duce cards which you will be proud
to send to your friends. And don't
be surprised if the rest of your
family want some made, too!

The show has exuberance and verve,
but it would have benefited from
some judicious pruning. Exhibits fill
the walls of three studios, as well as
halls and stairways on two floors,
and stacks of unframed paintings,
eloquent of the artists prodigious
industry, can be examined at the
visitors leisure. No attempt seems
to have been made to hang the best
works in every case. Some Of the
paintings on the floor are better
than some on the walls.
Carl Nyquist's work is well known
here, as he has exhibited in many
Washington group shows. He has
painted most of the figure studies
in the portraits in the present ex-
hibition. There is surprising SIM
ilarity of technique in the works of
five of the other artists, who paint
broadly in transparent washes gen.
orally deep in tone and include
areas of white paper in their COM
positions. OF these five Charles x
Carlson's work stands out as the
most consistently competent.
Judged In its entirety the exhibit
ton Is cheerful demonstration oil
what artists can get out of a new
environment.

was king of the Ethipians, and
there was a story that he had fought
at Troy. The myth went on to say
that Memnon was slain by the hero
Achilles and that his death was
mourned by the goddess of dawn.
1t so happened that the statues
moaning could be best heard at
dawn. So the Greeks came to say
that Memnon moaned when he was
greeted each morning by the god
dess of dawn.
The statue had been damaged by
an earthquake and had been re-
paired. Since it means no longer.
we cannot be sure just what made
it do so. 1t Is believed, however.
that the wind struck it In a certain
way, or that morning sunshine
caused changes in the stone, thus
making the moaning noise.
Whatever caused the sound, We
have proofs Of the excitement Of
persons who heard it. Many Greeks
and Romans cut words on the legs,
and these words tell of the surprise
and wonder which they felt after
hearing a statue speak"
The earthquake which broke That
statue took place almost 1000 years
ago. The moaning is reported to
have lasted until the year ITO, when
a Roman Emperor ordered further
repairs to be made. After the work
was done to make the statue "aS
good as new" the moaning stopped.

Handmade Cards May Solve
That Christmas Problem
Bv Eima Palmer

| Did you know that handmade
greeting cards command a high
price in city shops? That being
the case, and handmade cards be-
ing considered something special
in the way of greetings, is there any
reason why we shouldn't make our
own, too?
| Perhaps you will say that you
could never produce anything At to
be called Christmas card, but
wait till you have tried these simple
methods. You will be surprised at
your abilities in line which you
thought beyond your reach.
Something entirely different is
the Bingham card Use any color
checked gingham Cut it to double
the size you want the finished card
to be. Now make stiff, cold starch
Mother will tell you the correct
proportions to use) Fold the cloth
in half, right side out, and dip it in
the starch. Press it with a warm
iron until it is dry. You will then
have a card which Is as stiff as one
you might buy.
Decorating Is done with q large
metallic seal. If you wish, tie a
length Of decorated Christmas rib
bon across the corners. If you have
used smal-checked piece of ma
terial, letter the greeting in the
llght-colored squares, giving a
cross stitch effect.
Other materials also can be used
If you wish to use a dark colored
cloth, you will need to tint your
starch with coffee or bluing SO
that it does not show white streaks
Cloth cards also look pretty with a
rather conventional design painted
with bold show-card colors. Water
colors won't do: they will run.
Spatter cards are always pretty
and they are also easy to make
Choose a simple design of the sill
houette type, and one with not toe
many small parts. Trace the design
on a piece of light cardboard which
is the size the card is to be. With
razor blade cut out the parts which
are to be spattered. This is your
