AMERICAS Were the creators of
some of the worlds most beau
tiful art and architecture. The
skills from which this wonderful
and sometimes terrifying art
flowed were almost crushed out
when its creators were con-
quered by the white men. But,
like great river flowing UNDER

passion of the artists lived on in
the blood of their descendants. to

After . month Of impatient wait
int, DR.. Franz Polgar finally ap-
peared at Key West High School
and proved to the students that
they had been waiting for some
thing worth while.
DR.. Polgar had been scheduled to
appear here in the auditorium on
the fifth Of March, but his appoint
ment had been cancelled because
Of illness. Last Wednesday he ar
rived and at two o'clock that after
noon gave US show that had the
students amazed, goggle-eyed, and
rolling In the aisle with laughter.
His stunts included mental tele-
patty, hypnotism, and other ssmi-
racles Of the mind" which were
launched against q few student
volunteers from the audience.
Some few Of the drowsy subjects
found themselves stuck to their
chairs; some were hot while others
were cold; and some couldn't lift
q ten-pound chair off the floor be-
cause they were told 1t weighed
half ton. A few found themselves
singing "Cry" and Happy Birth
day" and still others grew thirsty
when DR.. Polgar clapped his
hands. These and many other feats
kept the audience laughing and
spellbound. We are happy to report
that all the subjects are now out
Of DR.. Polgar's hypnotic spell.
His performance was one of the
best shows we have had at Key
West High and we all hope he re-
turns soon.

But there are q few scholars
who intermittently poke back
into the past, and resurrect the
yesterdays of the men who hunt
ed and loved and lived in our
land before the white man came.
This book is filled with in
triguing information about the
Indians. For example, those who
inhabited the citadeIs of the
southwest had Lords prayer Of
their own. They concocted it out
of the semidesert where a dis
tant rain looks like a hanging
loom upon which Indians weave
blankets.
Oh our Mother the Earth, oh our
Father the Sky,
Your children are we. and with
tired backs
We bring you the gifts that you
love.
Then weave for US q garment
Of brightness;
May the warp be the white light
of morning,
May the welt be the red light
of evening,
May the fringes be the falling
rain,
May the border be the standing |
rainbow.
Thus weave for us a garment of
brightness
That we may walk fittingly

That we may walk fittingly

The author describes why early !
man did not settle down beside
the Mississippi and the Amazon
as he did is so many Of the
cities of the ancient world. And
she explains that the Mississippi
was not like the Nile, which

Pueblo Indians were great story
tellers and in their tale telling
had no competition from funny
papers, comic books, radio and
movies. Children Of the tribe

The model Paul cezanne liked
best was an apple. The fruit
could hold a pose for as long as
he wanted to paint, and besides
that it was perfect for the study
Of q rounded form.
An apple never got tired and
asked for a rest period. It didn't
wither like flower before he
was half finished with the paint
ing. So apples, backdropped by
plates, pottery, and bunched-up
napkins appear in a large number
of Cezanne's pictures.
The greatest compliment he
ever paid his wife was to say
she could hold as still as an apple.
This short biography of the
French painter is written for the
layman or beginning art student.
The author has placed her hero
Interestingly in the milieu in
which he moved during his life-
time. His early years in Aiken
Provence and his friendship with
the French novelist, Emile lola,
are described, as well as his later
life in Paris, and his return to
the south of France Of his boy
hood.
Cezanne was in Paris when
Henri Murger was living and
describing the Bohemian life
which is now permanently as
ISOLATED with Montmartre, the
left bank section Of Paris where
the artists live.
The author describes young
Paul and Emile lola in this set
ting:
High on Montmartre at night,
climbing the steep sidewalks
alongside carriages that bumped
over cobblestones, they could
glance backward and be thrilled
by the sight of Paris spread out
at their feet, its maze of streets
outlined by the glittering gas
lamps. A few more PAGES ahead
they would came to little square
hemmed in by tall houses with
dormer windows poking up in
relief against the night sky. Here
and there on the dark facades
were lighted doorways behind
balconies. Beneath, in the square,
were rows of cafe tables. On each
a candle flame made the rough
linen CLEAN and gave a red glow
to the wine decanters. Laughing.
chattering people moved about
among the diners !"
And here and there was a
Mimi, Musetta, a Rudolfo.
The most significant wisdom
which this book has to impart
to its readers is the long life
time Of hard work and concentra-
ton which went into making
Paul cezanne a great and orig
inal painter. He was more than
fifty years old before any real
recognition was taken of his
work. Despite this he painted
from dawn to dusk every day
whether it was in the forest of
Fontainebleau or under the sky
light of his Uttered Paris studio,
whether in Aiken Provence or
on the quais along the Seine.
Miss Downer thus describes
his contribution to painting:
'The ideas, original with Paul
Cezanne, dealt with three eIa-
ments Of art: form, color and
composition. His purpose was to
utilize them all in putting an
intensely living quality into pic
lures. He knew that this aIiveness
or realness was dependent on
depth so he found new ways
to express a deep reach into a
scene, new ways to round out the
objects in the foreground Of a
picture. He wanted to lead the
observer into the depth Of a
forest or within the enclosing
walls Of stone quarry !"
As an art critic in the New
Yorker once said -. Manet is
respected. Degas admired. Renoirl
loved, but Cezanne is revered.
