@. How old were you then?
A. I'd just graduated from
the University of Georgia. /
was 20.
@. Would you-say, then, that
q boy should have $1,000 in
cash before thinking Of going
into business for himself2
A. More than that. He'll
need $25, 900 nowadays.
Q. $4,000 would be enough?
A. In many cases, If a man
can scare up $25, 900, he can
borrow maybe 100000 and
that puts him in a position to
make some money.
Q. You started with $1,000.
Do you know how much
you're worth now?
A. Not exactly. It's been
estimated that I'm worth
around $40 million.
Evening star., 1956-08-26

@. Well, you've done pretty
well. What academic courses
would you advise young men
thinking Of going into buSi-
ness to take?
A. They should concentrate
on business courses such as
accounting, money and bank
ing, and foreign exchange.
@. Any subjects outside OF
business courses that might
prove valuable?
A. wouldn't neglect any
course-Such as psychology
which will teach you how TO
get along with and under
stand people.
@. II you were starting over
again, what courses that you
missed the first time would
you be sure of taking?

of new work at the school
through October IT. Each
artist-instructor is represented
with one to 10 paintings,
drawings or other work, which
should give the prospective
student a comprehensive idea
of the character of each ones
oeuvre, and should point the
way to selection of the in
structor whose work he most
admires.
There is marked contrast be-
tween the paintings of Rich
ard Lahey. principal, which
are predominantly abstract,
and those of Edmund Archer,
strongly traditional. The in
dividuality of the latter's por-
traits and figure studies are
well exemplif1ed by his several
life-size paintings in this ex-
hibition.
Jessalee Sickman shows
flower and figure paintings
which do not reflect her usu-
ally vigorous performance; her
best here is the lively little
watercolor, ''Dressmaker."
John Chapman Lewis abb
stract oil landscapes and
semiabstract pen drawings
demonstrate the variety of his
treatment. Heinz Warneke's
beautiful black marble colt
amply testifies to his gifts.

The Society of Washington
Artists will inaugurate at 2:30
O'Clock its 64th annual open
exhibition in the foyer of the
Natural History building, Tenth
and Constitution avenue.
Whatever the character of
each annual of Washington's
oldest professional artists or
ganization, as assembled by
noted artists generally from
other cities, who are not men,
bers, it is always an event of
each art season here. This
latest annual will be reviewed
next Sunday. A report Of
awards including The Evening
Star 500 prize has already
been published.
Finally. the Arts Club of
Washington will present with a
reception and tea at 5 o'clock
a loan exhibition Of paintings,
drawings and sculpture by its
founder and charter members,
the inaugural event in its cele-
bration of its 40th anniversary,
in the historic house at 2017

her portrait of Clifford Berry
man. He was also a charter
member of the Club. and a
group of his original cartoons
for The Evening Star repre-

Other excellent painters Of
past years are Aline Solomons,
Clara Saunders, Bertha Perrie
and Leslie jackson. all of them
sound traditionalists, whose
paintings are in many Wash

The exhibition further in
cludes paintings by living art
lists who were charter men,
bers, among them Cara Kim
berley. flower and landscape
painter; Bertha Moves, famous
for her remarkable portraits of
racial types: Marguerite
Shafer. whose landscape and
still life add interest to many
group shows; Edith Hoyt who
has lived away from Washing
ton for many years, but has
never lost interest in the Club;
and Louise Rochon Hoover.
Unique in her field is Marian
U. M. Lane, whose jewel-like
Examinations are in the exhibit

book bindings for which she is
equally we'll known.
AS many more founder and
charter members as are men,
toned above are in the eX-

Mr.. IRVINE, as a good critic,
realizes that he is dealing with
genius, "one of the worlds
greatest dramatistS," but he is
not blinded by hero worship.
Politically he is at the opposite
pole from the great man and

GBS's more eccentric political
