scum of Art, New York City,

Details of the competition we're
announced last April in a pros
pectus distributed so far to $500
artists. Any eligible sculptor
who has not received one may
obtain it and an entry blank on
request, from the Museum
(Fifth avenue at Eighty-second
street, New York 28).
In order to have work con-
sidered. a sculptor must submit
an entry blank and three clear
glossy photographs 8x10 inches,
showing front, back and side
views of each piece of sculpture.

Jew, his country was his home.
Here he was well served. Mary
Anne Lewis was IL years his
senior when they married, q
widow with a large fortune and
an empty head. She said her
self quite cheerfully: Dizzy
married me for my money, but
if he had the chance again, he
would marry me for love-" They
quite dotted on each other for
33 years, and he showed no more
consideration for Queen Vic
toria, whose favorite Prime
Minister he was.
Mr.. Pearson writes wittily
about this very witty public
man. His portrait is a warm
and affectionate one of a genius
who was one of "the rare ex-
ceptions in history of man
who hungered for fame and won
1t, yet could not exist without
love-"
But while doing justice to
the man and the personality, he
leaves the less learned reader
in some doubt as to DizZy's
achievements. The author ap-
parently feels that politics is a
sordid buSiness-as, of course,
it can be-which Disraeli illum-
mated for a time.
Yet the issues are worth go
ing into a little more. 1t is all
very well to say that "if the
speaker CDisraelD were alive
today he would have less to re-
tract than any other politician
of the past" but it needs more
documenting. He recreates to a
politician who had all the ex-
uberance Of an artist and the
patience of his race, yet gives
far too little attention to the
philosophy that underlay the
the wonderful fireworks.

and a recognized authority on
the history of Washington, has
visited fully two dozen national
capitals in various parts of the
world, and says he has always
come back with the conviction
that there is no more beautiful
capital than the City of Wash
ington."
But Maj. L'Enfant, to whose
far-sighted vision Washington
in a large measure owes its
beauty, remained a shadowy fig
ure. DR.. Caemmerer determined
in 1941 (the sesquicentennial of
the L'Enfant plan) to make the
French artists life better known.
This volume is the result of
nearly a decade of research,
during which the author visited
many cities in the United States
and also went to France to as
semble data from many original
sources.
Factual VignetteS.
DR.. Caemmerer has not at
tempted to reconstruct the per-
sonality of L'Enfant, but has
presented his material in the
form of factual vignettes, aug
mented with letters, memorials
and other items, and a recapitu-
lation of the historic events and
personages washington, Jeffer-
son, Hamilton. Won Steuben and
other leaders of the Revolution
ary and early Federal periodS)
to provide background.
The figure of L'Enfant which
emerges from his and others
letters and from the records of
history. is man of many gifts,
large visions, indomitable will,
feverish industry and the tradi-
tional artistic temperament. The
last mentioned is aptly described
by George Washington (who
commissioned L'Enfant to draw
the plan) in a letter DR.. Caem-
merer includes, about L'Enfant's
refusal to exhibit the plan when

a man can bear. In fact, "Mr
Smith" is one long moan.
Mr.. Smith thinks he never
had a chance. He once met
some amusing people who lived
freely and had fun, but they
dropped him. He never had any
fun at all. His one fling is with
a divorce who turns out to be
a drug-addict nymphomaniac-
exciting, but not awfully steady.
Now this would perhaps be all
very sad and an acute COM
mentary on our era if it were
not for the fact that Mr.. Smith
is a great big bore, wallowing
in self-pity, crouching over a
spark he thinks he sees in him.
self. which is wholly invisible to
the naked eye of this reader.
Mr.. Smith didn't know what he
wanted and then sat down and
cried because he didn't get it.
To give you an idea of the
dialogue in which this lugubrious
tract is outf1tted: "Mr. Smith"
now an officer on a Cod
forsaken Pacific island-talking
to one of his men and hearing
him say something breathtak-
ingly obvious, replies, "There is
something in what you say"

Century-Cro INC; $3.)
Most American writer's, says
William Case. "have been using
the vocabulary of a sub
marginal moron that'll take us
back to drawing pictures on
cave walls"
And with this bit Of evange-
lism apparently firmly fixed in
mind Mr.. Case sets out in The
Bright. Bright Water to ex-
press himself with -four hum
dred and fifty thousand wonder
full, rainbow words"
His story of decadence on the
tropical island of st. Lo is a
compelling one in itself but
when it gets mixed up with his
movement for more perfect ex-
preston both somehow lose
out. High-f1own phrases sound
jarring on the lips of derelicts.
On the whole, however, the
story of Trent and her bondage.
to an alcoholic ex-flance and Of
Robert and his love for Trent is
well told and intermixed enough
with sordid island politics and
the saga of a slick-dealing
American expatriate so at not to
get cloying.

Not that Disraen was a clown
longing to play Hamlet. He
was perfectly cast in politics,
and the huge popular success Of
his writingS-once he became
famous-soothed the artist in
him. In fact, he was a mar
velously integrated personality
of unwavering aplomb and self
confidence. On the floor of the
House he never lolled and never
relaxed; and on the larger
issues of life never complained,
never explained"
In his younger days, when he
was beaten for Parliament four
times in a row, Disraeli dressed
like a fop His gaudy get-up
helped explain the f1asco of his
maiden speech, which was
drowned out in catcalls. It was
not just his bizarre appearance
that was against him; he be-
came a formidably brilliant
speaker, whose unerring aim,
clarity and pungency could
drive such distinguished victims
as Peel and Gladstone nearly
to weep with anger. He was
not always appreciated. Carlyle
called him "a Hebrew conjuror."
Dizzy did not care. He was
content that a rival had to say
of him: THE ridiculous and
preposterous Dizzy was absolute
master of both sides Of the
House, a giant among pigmies."
His Self -Sufficiency.
A wholly undependable party
man, he derived his airy integ-

Michael McLaverty, who
speaks a loving heart in lyric
prose, is one 'of the finest living
Irish writers-and most of them
are first-rate. He writes of plain
people with an intentnesS of
sympathy and understanding
that gives them a meaning be-
yond themselves.
In this novel, Mr.. McLaverty
has chosen a most uncongenial
subject, a nagging woman so
quick to anger that she fairly
takes offense at the grass

1t is not enough to say that
Vera Reilly has a chip on her

natural interest and affection
of her in-laws for her daughter
Mary as long-range scheme
to wrest the child away from

life, she still regards every
pasSer-by as spy and intruder.

cross-grained party, and it is a

he decides he will marry her.

fresh and uncomplicated after
town ways. Vera, seeing in Mar
tin a means of escaping the is
land, encourages him, even low
ing him a little in her way. But
when she drives away the
orphan boy whom Martin has
sheltered and bullies her daugh-
ter numerically, Martin won-
ders if he is doing the right
thing.
With a melancholy care, Mr..
MacLaverty shows the new
weapons which Vera fashions
out of Martins love for her and
his devotion to Mary. With her
discovery that she is to have
another child, her abuse of
Martin and her suspicious of
her in-lawS are quickened. But
eventually Vera learns, as even
the meanest woman must, that
ito live for tomorrow is to live
for the fog"
Truth in the Night" is a
distressing study of a warped
character set against a back
ground of great natural beauty.
Vera's sour vision of island life
is set against that of the old
people who cherish every bit Of
it. A more painful book than
Mr.. McLaverty's previous novels,
it is, like them, rooted in truth
and written with an integrity
that allows not single false
word for its entire length.

ance with the work of this pio-

ist, whose unhappy life is the
subject of a recent biography by
Elizabeth McCausland (reviewed
in these columns four weeks
ago.
Beginning his career as a
conservative painter. Maurer re-
ceived awards and enjoyed
popular success. But in his late
3Os, exposed to the work
of the "Fauves" in Paris early
in this century. he abandoned
his conformity to accepted
standards, and embraced ex-
perimental painting. The last
quarter century of his life
Terminated by suicide in 1882
was struggle, with few in
tervals of recognition and sue
cess.
But this last period was not
altogether dreary. He had de-
voted friends with whom he
lived for months at a time, and
beginning in 1916, spent his
summers at Shady Brook out
side of Marlboro. N. Y. where
he was happier than anywhere
else during his years in Amer
lea. There he sketched and
painted industriously.
Nudes and Landscapes.
The current show of drawings
is divided between two themes:
Studies of the female nude in
various poses, and landscapes.
presumably done during the
Shady Brook sojourns. Gen
orally simplified and in outline,
these drawings are compare
lively naturaliStic.
OF his four paintings at the
Phillips, THE Florentines" seems
most typical: Two half-length
figures of women, with elon-
gated heads and staring eyes, in
rich red gowns against a tur-
quoiSe background. Maurer
painted many such heads, Slngly
and in pairs. THE Old Tree,
with it's sturdy gnarleu trunk,
and two Still-life and flower
paintings give a varied account
of Maurer'S work.

Seven at Playhouse

Fifteen paintings by seven
Washington area artists are on
view at the Playhouse art gal
lery through mid-September. A
good proportion of them have
not been exhibited heretofore
in local shows. One of the
artists represented, Stanley Sill
verman, is new to me. He is
showing two large New Orleans
architectural themes, with a
two-dimensional effect, wholly
or in part.
Peter Blanc's Logic of Cham
ber Music" seemed to me one of
the shows best works. Entirely
abstract, it's forms nevertheless
strongly suggest stringed in
struments. OF Leonard Maui
rer's three paintings, I liked
best his white Bridge" with its
staccato white lines on warm
blue ground.
Abstract Works.
Jacob Kainen's two offerings
illustrate two facets of his work,
both abstract. "Old Corner"
has the cool color scheme and
serenity of his earlier work,
while 1.-TWO Poets" has richer
colors and more contrasted
shapes.
Harold Giese's naturalistic
paintings have an intimate ap-
peal, particularly his romantic
"Cold Night" Joe Summerford's
still life of fruit is less preten-
tious than his horizontal abs
traction, but is more interesting.
Vern Smith, a comparative new
conner to local exhibitions. is
showing a heavy figure painting,
Grape Man." which has the
faint aroma of Mexico, and an
abstraction of heads.
