American soldiers in New Guinea

a series of portrait sketches by Corpl,
Burl Courtney, on view at the Co
operative Bookshop, GIG Seventeenth

The outstanding feature of these
% charcoal, crayon and pencil stud
les is the individuality the artist has
captured in each face. Corpl. Court
ney is at the beginning of his career
with little time to pursue it on a
battle field. Naturally one cannot
expect his work to have the tech
OF long experience. Some of his
drawing is faulty, some of the ex-
pressionS a trifle stiff. But that he
has what it takes to become an ex-
cellent portraitist one does not doubt
after viewing the present group.

veals rather delicate, sensitive face
Most Of the others are equally indi-
vidual, carrying strong conviction

graphical sketches of the subjects
with accounts of their adventures

Americans, but there are a few Aus
tralians.
The artist, Southerner, who
lived in Arkansas during the 30s
had one year of study at the Art
Institute of Chicago before he en-
tered the service early in l94l. His

Elsie Brown and her family were
aboard the last ship to leave Japan
for the United States before Pearl
Harbor. She had lived there all her
life, her father having been in busi-
ness there. Now she is student at
Anacostia High School.
The Americans left Japan in such
haste that they were able to bring
only few Of their most cherished
possessions. Not long ago Elsie in
vited Shirley Simensen, Eileen Koh-
Ter and me to her home to see some
Of these things.
We were all breathless with an
ticipation when she opened the
trunks. Inside was an array of color
that would put rainbow to shame.
There was lace scarf as delicate as
a cobWeb, a black kimono shot with
gold and silver threads in gorgeous
design, an obi (sash to us) of cream
colored silk with pastel flowers in it,
party dresses, street clothes, summer
and winter clothes and many other
garments.
After we had examined everything
Elsie and her mother helped us
dress, and eventually we were in full
japanese costume, obi and all. We
all agreed that we had never been in
such beautiful and uncomfortable
clothing. Elsie said, however, that
she had played badminton in clothes
just like theSe-Which we think Is
definitely a remarkable feat.
We were then served tea and Gu
cumber sandwiches. Mrs. Brown
taught us to drink tea Japanese
fashion and she and Elsie told us a
little about Japan. Finally, regret
fully, we put back on our everyday
street clothes and departed.

Uncle RAYS Corner

Recently war correspondent
told how he and several companions
were found in the Burma jungle,
where they had alighted in para
chutes after the pilot of a bombing
plane told them there was going to
be a crash On greeting the leader
of the lost" men, the head of the
rescue party said playfully, DIR.
Livingstone, I presumed"
Those words brought back one of
the most famous rescue expeditions
in history. An American news
paperman went into the wilds Of
Africa 73 years ago to locate DR..
David Livingstone.
After making a trip to Great
Britain and writing another book
about his adventures, Livingstone
had returned to Africa to work as
an explorer for the British govern
ment AS time passed people in
Europe and North America began
to wonder why no letter had come
from him. James Gordon Bennett,
ir., editor of the New York Herald
decided to send a reporter to find
out. The man chosen was 30-year-
old Henry M. Stanley.
Landing on the African coast in
March, 1871, Stanley and his men
made their way inland. When they
met natives they asked them
whether they had seen DR.. Living
stone. In this way the party was
able to follow his trail, and in seven
and half months reached the
eastern side of Lake Tanganylka,
more than TOO miles inland.
Livingstone was found in the vii
lage of Ujiji, on the shore of the
lake. 1t was then that Stanley held
out his hand and spoke the famous
words, DIR. Livingstone, presume. +"
For several weeks Stanley stayed
with Livingstone and went with
him on exploring trips to the north
ern end of Tanganyika.
Before saying good-by he turned
over to Livingstone supplies he had
brought along These included
tools, mattresses, trousers, jackets,
kettles, a medicine kit, IL bales of
calico, IA bags of beads and 38 coils
of brass wire.
From his journey Stanley brought
back some of the journals which
Livingstone had kept. These added
to the worlds knowledge of the
customs and geography OF Central
Africa.

Karl Knaths' exhibition at the
Phillips Memorial Gallery is the
largest of the one-man shows which
opened there the last two Sundays
in February 1t will remain until
March 27. The artist is TO give a
open to the public, on The Develop
ment Of Color Awareness in Western
Painting" A new exhibition opens
this afternoon in the print rooms Of
the Phillips Memorial Gallery. 1t
is composed Of facsimiles of graphic
work by Rembrandt.
Mr. Knaths' paintings ought to be
familiar to Washingtonians, as Mr..
Phillips was the first collector to
appreciate them and to acquire ex-
amples for the Phillips Memorial
Gallery, which have been exhibited
at intervals. All but one Of the Is
paintings currently shown belong to
the gallery. Twelve of them are re-
cent acceSsions, having been painted
last year. The, others date from
1928, giving the exhibition a par
TALLY retrospective character.
Mr.. Knaths is highly regarded by
some Of the advanced" critics. He
has been called Thy E. M. Benson)
"one of the most distinguished alb
Stract talents that has blosSomed
on American soil" Mr.. Phillips, in
his catalogue foreword to the pres
ent show, calls attention to meritori-
Gus aspects of Mr.. KnathS' work
among them his exquisitely subtle
color sequences and juxtapositions'
to which we owe our greatest pleas
ure"
One suspects, however, that those
who find pleasure in Mr.. Knaths
work will be very few Nor will most
visitors recall the paintings later
as outstanding for their color. Its
sublety is such as completely to elude
most spectators. who doubtless will
carry away a memory of dusty
brown as the predominant shade
Furthermore the increasingly ab-
stract character of his work, as one
follows 1t from year to year, removes
from 1t what warmth it had in intel
ligible subject matter, such as in
the Cock and Glove" done in 1928
and the admirable "Pennsylvanis
Landscape" of 1899.

New Club at Wilson
Holds Friday Night
Dances in Armory
PRIZE CONTRIBUTION
By Claire Jennings, II,
Woodrow Wilson High School.

WoooroW wilson High SCHOOL.
Woodrow Wilson's first Friday
Mite Club" sponsored by the Stu
dent Council with the aid of the
recreational division of the Victory
Corps, was held recently in the
school armory. The dance got under
way at $50 and the couples danced
TIL the last strains died away at
11:3O.
This project, which is purely an
experiment of the student govern
ment, utrned into one of the biggest
successes the school has witnessed.
The students decided they had heard
enough about this juvenile de-
linquency problem and were going
to do something about 1t in their
section Of the city. Even if this
was the only purpose for the origi-
nation Of the Friday Mite Club then
1t was definitely achieved, for the
dance floor was crowded to ca
pacity. Other reasons for the club
were to provide a place for the
Wilsonites to go on week ends.
The armory was arranged in such
a way that stranger would think
he was in some night spot rather
than at high school dance. Chairs
and tables were placed on one side
OF the room and soft drinks were
sold nearby. The 12-piece orchestra.
which, incidentally, played free of
charge, was in the middle Of the
other side Of the armory.
Toward the middle Of the evening
the lights were lowered and Charlie
Warren, president of the council,
stepped to the microphone. He
introduced the forthcoming acts,
which consisted of two vocals, a
trombone solo and a minstrel act.
If the amount of applause had any,
thing to do with the way these per-
formances went over then there's
no doubt of their success.
To say the least, the club was
a huge success. 1t seemed to meet
with approval Of both students and
faculty-the latter being on hand
to chaperon and watch the fun.
All the students, I'm sure, are going
to demand the continuance of the
Friday Mite Club.
