Two Shows at Arts Club

The Arts Club recently opened
the first of two brief shows to pre-
cede the summer exhibition of
paintings by members, which will
remain through September. The
present display comprises oil paint
ings and water colors by Margaret
Mess and Betty Baker. each of
whom is showing approximately
80 works, those by Miss Mess in
the gallery and Mrs. Bakers in the
reception rooms. Both artists stud
led at the Corcoran School of Art.
Mrs. Baker came to Washing
ton from Burlington, N. c. Her
paintings depict old houses in a
somewhat primitive manner, and
doorways Of the Washington area
and the deep South, including
several of Natchez and New Or
leans.
Miss Mess, a native Washing
tonian, is now cartographic
craftsman at the Geological Sur
vey, Interior Department. She
studied at several other local
schools: Abbott and National Art
Schools, Columbia Technical

Hans Berliner has won the
chess championship of the Dis
trict of Columbia for the second
year in succession. In the ninth
and final round of the 1850 tour
ney he had the black pieces
against William j. Nucker and
adopted his favorite kings Indian
defense. He built up powerful
pressure against Whites weak
ened king side. won a pawn, and
Immediately after was able to
liquidate into an easily won pawn
ending. This brought his score to
eight points, made up of seven
wins. two draws. and no losses.
His play has been sound but ag-
gressive, tactically alert, and tech
nically proficient in all phases of
the game. No one will deny that
his victory was entirely deserved
or that he stands at the head of
District chess. AL Washington
chess-players will look forward to
his participation as their repre-
sentative In national tournaments
later in the year.
Behind the champion by the
closest possible margin came Mar
tin c. Stark. champion of the
Washington Chess Divan. He, too,
remained undefeated, but gave up
three half-points instead of two,
and so scored 7h-11a. In the final
round he won from Frazier Miller,
who put up a grim last-ditch re-
Sistance in an unfavorable ending
with Stark's rocks doubled on the
seventh rank, but was finally
ground down after the adjourn
ment.
Stark. too, has earned his posi-
tion and his prize. outclassing the
rest Of the field in subtle tactics
and precise end-game play. But
throughout the tourney he has
tended to come sut of the open
ing with dead or inferior positions.
He held desperate-looking endings
against Berliner and Shapiro, and
succeeded in winning from Robins
and Nash after having a cramped
game against the first and a
position against the
second.

introduced to washington, and
new artists discovered.
1t seems to me that Leonard
Maurer makes the best impression
in this exhibition of 16 paintings,
Of which five are his. He is a young
but not a new artist here, for he
has already participated in a num-
ber of exhibitions at the Whyte
Gallery and elsewhere. There Is
variety and imagination in his lit
tie group, including the blue and
gold Trojan Horse" the clever,
symbolic capture of Washington,
"Columned City," in fresh green,
white and violet; the hot, cluttered
Arches; a coral and blue Port" :"
with nautical shapes, and a large
abstraction, Newark Meadows"
Madge Erving, too, has shown in
earlier Whyte Gallery exhibitions.
She has already established her
preoccupation with nocturnal in
teriors, elongated young girls sur
rounded by still life, near windows
with moonlit landscapes. Some of
Miss Erving's work is strongly
reminiscent of Bernice Cross. The
seascape in Miss Erving's Mid
night Moth" is a beautiful bit of
painting.
Sheila Cowan's four paintings
are allover patterns of flowers,
trees with animals), fruit, etc.,
with bold colors bordering on gar
ish combinations in some in
stances. Vern Smiths three paint
ingS deal with heads Gin two) and
owls, closely grouped with en-
phasis on Cubistic planes.
The exhibition as a whole is
interesting, and the four groups,
definitely modern. are markedly
individual. The show will remain
through the month,

Colombian Debut

The Pan American Union is
showing this month, the first ex-
hibition in the United States, of
caricatures and drawings of Simon
Arboleda of Colombia. They are
exceptionally clever and interest
ing. and it is surprising to learn
that the artist has had no formal
training, but regards these as q
"Sideline." He is now engaged in
private business in New York City,
and is also secretary of the Co.
lombian-American Chamber of
Commerce there. Yet despite his
use OF his talent as an avocation,
he has had an enduring interest
IN 1T, OF some twenty years, since
he was in his teens.
Visitors can judge the effective
ness of his caricatures with con-
siderable ease since most of the
ID on view depict well-known ma
t1onal personalities ranging from
President Truman to Charles
Chaplin. The few others appear
ances are equally if not more IA
miliar to the average person: the
Pope. EinStein. Stain and Gandhi.
1t seemed to me that Sr. Arboleda
was successful in all but three in
stances-Truman, Eisenhower and
Gandhi. The heads are drawn in
outline. SO expressively used that
1t suggests facial contours as well
as features.
With even greater economy of
means, Sr. Arboleda has drawn a
series OF bull fight positions, mod
ern and classic dances and a few
other subjects. His ability to
extract the essence is evident in
most of these.

Exhibition OF Washington ScuIptors Group in Garden
OF Octogon House Proves Value of Effective SETTING
By Florence S. Berrymon

Sculpture is greatly enhanced by
an effective setting. The Washing

exhibition of more than 20 works,
well displayed in the beautiful
garden Of the 15o-year-old Octa-
gon House, headquarters Of the
American Institute of Architects
ut 1741 New York avenue, where
there is also a show Of photographs
and drawings Of work by the
American Society of Landscape
Architects. Both will remain
through July 8.
The Sculptors' Group member
ship includes artists of conserva-
tive. middle Of -the-road and pro-
gressive tendencies. all Of which
are represented in the current dis
play. In size, most of the exhibits
would be suitable for small gar
dens. Some of the works are now
in plaster. but could be cast in
permanent materials. A few, in
cluding two in wood, are on view

Chess Notes

Third prize goes to Edmund
Nash, champion of the Federal
Chess Club. who brought his score
to 6-3 by defeating Nathan Robins
in the last round. This game, an
energetic and brilliant demolition
Of French defense, appears below
as our seventh entry for the
Hughes best game prize. Nash led
throughout the earlier part Of the
tourney and then. after two dis
astrous rounds. recovered at the
end. He has not, we think. played
so well before; he gave Berliner a
tremendous battle, and won some
impressive games.
No fewer than six contestants
have made scores Of 5l2-3l2, and
the three remaining prizes will
have to be awarded on the Sonne-
borg Berger method Of scoring
