The Arts Club Of Washington has
opened It's annual summer show OF
members work in all mediums.
More than 40 exhibits, most OF them
paintings in oil and water color, will
remain on view until late Septem-
ber. The collection is one of the
three most conservative group shows
I have seen throughout the season
now ending. There is not a single
work that could conceivably raise
the blood pressure of any visitor.
There are competent paintings OF
a variety of pleasant subjects, as
well as a few inept and amateurish
works. The only limitation to en-
tries was that they had to be done
in the past two years. Several have
been shown elsewhere in Wash
ington.
Prizes in oil, water color and
sculpture went respectively to Ma
thilde Leisenring's handsome Mag
nolias";; to Phoebe Hyatt's "Old
Fence" vigorous and well COM
posed, and to Jean Donner Groves
serene little alabaster head. Two
honorable mentions were awarded,
to Theodore Kane's oil "Coyoacan,
Mexico" street scene painted in
fiat color areas, and to Edward
Groves water color night scene,
effective in its subtle values. Burt1s
Baker and Paul Leland Thompson
were the jury of award.
A striking marine by William F.
Walter depicts a naval supply ship
in Thule, Greenland" the farthest
north that even an Eskimo can
settle. One of the largest paintings
in the show, 1t is clean-cut in exc
cution, simplified in detail and done
in several blues and grays that
heighten the feeling of still cold
atmosphere. Another large painting
with monochromatic color scheme
is Minor Jameson's restful snow
covered landscape in gray and white.
Glimpses of Washington and vi
cinity are presented in number OF
effective oil paintings: Marguerite
zimmeles view of Kenwood with
cherry trees in bloom; Washing
tons Headquarters, Georgetown" by
Caroline van H. Bean; Marguerite
Shafers Georgetown Towers" and
Mignon Atchison's view from Mile
Hill; also in Henry Olsons deep
toned water color of a bridge in
Rock Creek Park, and Marguerite
Munn's panorama from her studio
window, in the same medium, and
Lloyd Henbest's beautiful "Klingle
Road in Winter" the only photo
graph in the exhibition.
Lee Atkyn's mountain scene, pre-
sumably painted in PuzzletoWn, Pa,
where he has his summer studio
and art school, is among the more
modern works on view. Alice Riddle
Kindler's landscape, too, is modern
in its kaleidoscope colors. Florence
Everhart shows heavily forested
mountainous landscape, tradition
ally painted. Garnet Jex's sunny
capture of an old inn, STARS and

Court Ruling Gusts
Tenants for Owners

The court battles, through which
purchasers of housing units in the
1900 block of Dexter terrace Sc.
have sought to oust tenants who
did not want to move appeared to
be ended today, as a result of a
District Court ruling yesterday
afternoon.
Justice Alexander Holtzoff ruled
that occupants still renting IL of
the more than 80 housing units
must move at the end of &C days
to make room for the buyers.
Virtually all of the housing units
have been purchased by veterans,
it was said Ali but II of the places
already have been vacated by the
tenants.
The Dexter terrace project was
launched as an emergency hous-
ing program. In the course of the
litigation, the District government
entered the case to keep the Dex-
ter Realty Co., Inc, from selling
the housing units until the COM
pany had installed improved water
and sewer facilities to meet build
ing requirements. The company
now has agreed to do this, accord
ing TO Assistant Corporation Coun-
sci Hubert B. Pair.
Purchasers of the units have been
represented by Attorney Jacob N.
