Newport Mansions,
Boarded Up During

My most interesting experience
this past summer occurred during
my recent vacation spent in New
England. While in Newport. R. T..
I was invited to stroll the fabulous
Cliff Walk.
This 3I2 mile path is famous for
It's unique beauty and has been
traversed by thousands of visitors.
The walk skirts a craggy shore
that rises from 20 to 40 feet above
the water and passes the enormous
summer estates of some of the coun-
try's Wealthiest vacationers.
For two months year, such celeb
rites as Cornelius Vanderbilt. jr.,
Doris Duke Cromwell and John
Jacob Astor open their 200-room
mansions to enjoy Newports pleas
ant climate and society. Many of
these estates were boarded up dur
ing the war. but now most of them
are open again.
Originally flshermans trail. the
Cliff Walk is now kept open as a
pob'iS 4OOePoliI ny dI dCl VI tllS
State Legislature.
My hike along the Newport shore
was not without its difficulties.
In 1888, a hurricane washed out
long stretches of the walk, but not
all the owners repaired their share
Of the damage. War restrictions
closed the walk to the public, and
last falls hurricane did further
damage.
Today, the city is seeking to re-
store Cliff Walk, for the entrance is
unmarked: deep gullies drop from
the path to the rocks so feet below,
and spots in the path are washed
out.
I also motored along Ocean Drive,
which forms loop around the south
end of the island Here, more of
the elite have built their estates and

empties into the Gulf of Guinea.
Long before this time, the mouth
OF the Niger had become known
to white travellers, but no man from
Europe ever had seen it as far
upstream as 1t was reached by
Mungo Park.
The discovery of that section of
the Niger River was a great thing,
but 1t failed to end the troubles
OF Mungo Park. Here he was, $50
miles from the African coast, with
hardly anything of value which he
might use in trading with the
natives.
Finally Park decided to give up
his faithful horse, which had been
worn out by its travels. The animal
was presented to a Negro who had
provided him with shelter. In re-
turn the black man gave him a
spear.
This Scottish explorer had vari-
Gus adventures as he searched for
food. Once he was given meals and
shelter and in the morning his host
asked for q bit Of his hair as pay
ment. Park agreed but the Negro

World
Pan American Union
Inaugurates a New
Exhibition Series
Bv Florence S. Bergman

Bp Florence S. Bergman
The Pan American Union will open
tomorrow the first of a new series of
exhibitions under the direction of
Paul Murphy, chief of special events,
who has lately returned to resume
this position, after nearly three
years absence in the service.
The inaugural exhibition, to be on
view through October, comprises
paintings by Hector Poleo, young
artist of Venezuela, whose work re-
ceived considerable acclaim when
shown in New York City last season
He paints the people and landscape
of his own country in strongly
traditional technique The character
of his work is indicated by the fact
that he is permanently represented
in the United States, by Arnold
Seligmann Rey Galleries, New York
a firm whose interest is largely con-
fined to old masters paintings.
Senor Poleo's careful attention to
detail, such as painting of hands
and feet, recalls the work of certain
Renaissance Italian and Flemish
masters. His figures are charac-
terized by serene gravity of bearing.
exemplified by the two heads in
"Fecundity," reproduced on this
page. The. young woman has
Madonna like expression and gesture
as she gazes at the budding twig.
Hector Poleo was born in 1918 in
Caracas, Venezuelan capital, and
studied at the School of Plastic Arts
there. When only 10, he went to
Mexico for three years of study and
painting Judging from his work,
however, he seems to have been sing
ularly impervious to the influence of
the contemporary Mexican school,
which has turned so many impress
sionable young artists into miniature
Riveras. Orozcos and what not.
Senor Poleo followed his sojourn in
Mexico with visits to the United
States, Ecuador and Colombia and
returned to Venezuela in 1910.
Since the important circumstances
of ones life generally affect ones
outlook and creative efforts, it is of
interest to learn that Senor Poleo's
eyesight was seriously injured in his
early youth, leaving him under the
continuing threat of blindness. So
dark a shadow would inevitably
manifest itself in his work; many of
his subjects have closed or downcast
