Frank. Gardner Hale
Master Craftsman

The death of Frank Gardner
Hale of Boston, master crafts
man, which occurred in Salem,
recently, will be deeply regret
ted by his many friends in
Washington, as well as else
where, throughout the country.
His exquisite handwrought jew
elry and richly colorful enamels
were unrivaled; his skill was
| unmatched save by his artistic
design.
Born in Norwich, Conn, in
1876, he studied at the Nor
wich Art School and then in
the Boston Museum School,
| after which he joined the now
famous Guild of Handicraft
at Chipping Campden, England,
inspired by William Morris and
carried on by such craft en-
thusiasts as Charles Ashbee,
Alec Miller, Frederick Part
ridge and others. Returning to
this country, Mr.. Hale estab-
| lished a workshop in Boston,
and did much, by word and
example, to encourage the de-
velopment of the art crafts
throughout this country, as
we'll as to establish, on no
less sound basis, the American
Guild of Arts and Crafts,
with headquarters in Boston,
through the efforts of which,
numerous craft centers have
come into existence in New
England.
Mr.. Hale's jewelry and en-
amelS were distinguished by
a keen sense of beauty and
appropriateness, as determined
by purpose and material-they
are essentially works of art.
to be treasured as well as ad-
mired. OF semiprecious stones
he made exceptionally engag-
ing use.
Prior to the opening of the
war, just ended, Mr.. Hale, held
| yearly exhibitions in Washing
ton, and here many of his finest
works are in private possession.
At the beginning of the war,
Mr.. Hale, laid aside his craft
and volunteered for special
service. 1t was while so en-
gagged that his health began to
breakdown.
| Then it was that he turned
to gardening and created, on a
hillside in old Marblehead, ad-
jacent to his summer home,
a garden as lovely as were his
works with jewels and metals.
Whatever he wrought was en-
riched by his knowledge and
| feeling for art. He was a
believer in the immutability of
beauty. Whatever he did was
enlightened by this spark.
| It was his wish, weather
| permitting, to have his funeral
rites in this garden overlook
ing the sea, SO well designed
so colorful, with the flowers
he had planted, nurtured and
| loved. L. M.

realized. This is one reason for
their superiority over the gaudy
color autographs of later period
Those who colored the large folios
were themselves artists; the stock"
prints were done by staff of about
IL young women and girls.
Although it is difficult for us to
consider such methods as mass
production" Currier g. Ives volume
was great, their prices low, and
their distribution widespread. One
merchandising method used for
many years, was by way of push
cart statesmen who came daily to
the store, and selected prints they
thought, would sell best to their
respective clienteles.
Recall the Past
Although nearly a century old
these prints seem close to us be-

Baltimore Artist Here

Edward Rosenfeld's fourth one
man show in Washington opened
October 6 at the Whyte Gallery, to
continue through October 30 He
has also exhibited in group exhibi-
tions at the Phillips Memorial Gal
lery, as well as in Baltimore, Phila-
delphia and New York.
Born in Baltimore in 1906, the
artist worked and studied indie
pendently, with the aid of advice
and criticism from Donald Coale
and subsequently from the late c..
Law Watkins, director of the Phil
lips Gallery Art School, and Karl
Knaths. During a trip abroad in
1887, Mr. Rosenfeld studied the work
of old and modern masters. For
about five years after his return,
he worked for the Government
Section of Fine Arts and the WPA
Art Project.
His present exhibition is more
cheerful than his early shows at the
Intimate Gallery in Georgetown,
although his palette is still given
over largely to browns, grays and
olive green. He remains partial to
the same type of subjects. He said:
Because things which are homely
and informal appeal to me most, I
enjoy painting subjects associated
with daily life, such as sewing ma
chimes, boats, old barns, home and
farm implements, landscapes and
interiors"
He has captured the essential
character of his subjects in "Un-
loading Hay" Meat Market" Ga
dream place, with abundant sup
plies, Orchard" Zone of the fresh
est of the new paintings, with bright
yellow and green, Pasture No. L."
and Cove" gray-blue water under
a cloudy sky. He also shows a
number of circus scenes. All of Mr..
Rosenfeld's painting is simplified,
some of his figures reduced to calli-
graphic symbols, others are more
substantial, but faceless.
This is comprehensive when the
subject includes people as part
OF the scene rather than as indi-
viduals. But it is not adequate
when the subject is one such as
sNother and Child" which Mr.,

|. A reader of this column complains
that the mention recently made of
the bridge playing talent in the
Presidents cabinet contained no
reference to Clinton P. Anderson,
Secretary OF Agriculture. Mr.. An
derson is said to be able to hold his
own in a contest with almost any
of the experts. When he was a
member of the House of Repre-
sentatives, which he left to become
chief of the Agriculture Depart
ment, he ranked next as a bridge
expert to Representative John C..
Kunkel of Harrisburg, generally
recognized as the best bridge player
in Congress.
In 1884 Mr.. Anderson was presi-
dent of the City Bridge Club of
Albuquerque, N. Mex. He won the
city pair tournament. was a men,
Der of the team which won the city
team-of-four tournament and was
runnerup in the spring pair tourna-
ment in Albuquerque in 1884. In the
previous year he had been a men,
ber of the winning team-of-four in
the regional tournament of the
United States Bridge Association,
comprising Texas, New Mexico, Ari-
zona, Colorado and Utah. He also
participated in the organization S
grand national tournament.
A match between Mr.. Anderson
and his fellow cabinet member, Sec
retary Of the Treasury Vinson,
would be interesting. Either the
Washington Bridge League or the
Federal League, or both, should in
vite them to attend a session. Mr..
Anderson, however, like many other
prominent officials, does not play
bridge in public or open games, not
because he thinks 1t would be un-
dignified, but because of lack of
time.
Last week was grand slam week
at the Washington Golf and Coun-
Try Club. While the men were out
on the links one afternoon, Mrs.
Elmer Jenkins and Mrs. r. l.
Hutchinson sat down at the bridge
table to await their return. During
the play Mrs. Jenkins bid and
made contract Of seven diamonds.
Both are comparatively new players
Feeling that their own laurels
were in danger, Col. A. C. Kelly
and Don Lea challenged a pair of
experts the next afternoon, and
Mr.. Lea succeeded in bidding and
making grand slam in clubs. Then
Col. Kelly and James Skinner took
on two other players and Col
Kelly found opportunity to seek a
grand slam in a bid of seven hearts.
The contract was doubled and some
what OF hazard, but by a for
tunate dnesse the colonel made it,
and was able to claim equal dis
tinction with Mrs. Jenkins and Mr.
Lea.

Fruitful" as he interpreted it. This
variety in sizes is equaled by the
use of different material and also
variety in the handling. The sculp-
lures are made of walnut, oak, ma
hogany, cedar and madronio Zone
of the hardest woods; of marble,
basalt, andesite, diorite, and there
is one ceramic sculpture.
In strong contrast to the natural
tstic miniature carvings, Senor ANA
dor-Lira's larger works may be
termed the sculptural equivalent of
the understatement, whispered sug-
gestion or implication. Faces are
barely indicated; forms appear. to
have emerged only partially from
the wood or stone. In some in
stances, the simplification or lack
of detail is intended to represent
ones vision in "the dusk of the chilly
twilight" or "a cloud of dust" At
least, that is the impression one
gets from the sculptor's interpretive
labels, which reveal a mystic, poetic
outlook. However, without these
labels, the layman would probably
never grasp the complicated ideas
the works are intended to convey
The beautiful finish of the woods,
and the highly polished stones, make
most of these sculptures tempting
to the touch.

Genaro Amador-Iira, Nicaragual
sculptor now visiting the Unitec
States by invitation of our Stat,
Department. came to Washington
for the opening of an exhibition o.
his work at the National Museum
last Sunday. His first show ir
this country, it is sponsored by thu
Pan-American Union, and will re.
main on view throughout sthis
month. 1t is installed in the real

foyer.
Senor Amador-Lira first gained
attention in his own country a dec
ade ago when the newspaper La
Noticia of Managua, his native city
sponsored an exhibition of his min
1atures, carved from scraps of wood
ivory and plastics. He was then only
Is. Such was the talent manifested
in this single showing, that the
government of Nicaragua gave him
q scholarship to the School of Fine
Arts in Mexico. There he studied
and exhibited with the independent
artists group. In 1871, at his gov
ernment'S request, he returned to
Managua to organize and direct the
School Of Fine Arts.
He came to the United States
last spring to study organization
Of art schools and museums here
and served as visiting professor at
Mills College, Oakland, Calf, dur
ing the summer session.
Famous Miniatures
His collection, now at the National
Museum, comprises II of the min
iatures which first brought him
fame, and II larger sculptures in
stone and wood. He still gives much
of his time and talent to the minia-
lures, which are astonishing, in view
Of their exceedingly minute size
and perfection of form. There is a
crucifix, galloping horse of wood,
less than an inch in length, bull
fight group of similar dimensions,
several figures of women, one kneel-
ing with deer, and a number of
other tiny objects, of wood or ivory.
The sculptor executes these without
the aid of magnifying glass. One
can only conclude that he has
microscopic vision.
His exhibition ranges from figures
Of animals quarter of an inch in
length, to S feet high cedar symbol

Compton Mackenzie. fourth novel was
simply "West to North" Now he
comes clear North, but still the series
is not complete, for North Wind
is to have two volumes. 1t makes a
lot of wordage. When the series was
projected the proud publisher an
nounced that 1t would be more than
a million.
It concerns the general state Of
politics and culture in the British
Empire from the opening years OF
the 20th century to the 30s. Like
most chain novels now running,
1t is devoted more to the authors s
ideas than to its characters. There
is very little of anything which one
could call action in 1t and equally
little that one could call character.
Casually, indifferently, the people
have love affairs, marry and die
What animation their author gives
them goes into their conversations
ON politics, art and ideals, in which
conversations they seem to be, one
and all, Mr.. Mackenzie rather than
themselves.
What Mr.. Mackenzie Thinks
+ The main character of the series,
by which is meant the main con-
versationalist, is one John Ogilvie, a
Scotsman with an English educa-
ton, whose function it is to doubt
the prevailing insularism of Britain
and study and appreciate the cul-
lures of Europe and-even-to some
extent the United States. John is
sort of combination of Young
Fortunatus and Sir Oracle. His
great personal charm attracts all
manner of people to him as he trav-
els hither and yon across the world,
and the various manners Of people
ask him questions. He answers
usually in page-long speeches. In
the present volume he goes on
answering. He has attained the age
sbf so, but he is still not tired OF
saying what Mr.. Mackenzie thinks.
AS far as I am concerned, the
chain novel is a feature of our period
which has little to be said for it. II

 The grant will probably be small because of the nature of the city's postwar projects. The projects to be started first are street and sewer developments, plan for which have already been drafted by the City Engineering Department.
 The city already has in re- serve fund, $702,000 for postwar projects and expects to boost this to nearly one million dollars by the end of the year.
