Original woodblock prints
by Paul Shaub and j, E.
Alexander compose the 9th
in a series of art shows pre-
sented in the lounge Of
Loew's Capitol Theater, 1926
F street N. w. by the I. F. A.
Galleries, which regularly
handles the work of this dis
tinguished husband and wife
printmaking team. The 20
woodcuts at LoeW's have
popular themes as well as fine
execution, and should prove
one of the series most at
tractive offerings.
Mr.. Shaub makes particu-
larly good use of the wood
grain in his compositions, the
varied lines of the wood en-
riching the background in
an allover pattern, and at
times participating in the
design. In contrast, are the
sharp, simple black forms Of
the subjects, which in the
present selection include men
and boats, fishermen, cyclists
and iceSkaters.
While Mr.. Shaub obviously
prefers activities on and near
the coast, his wife specializes
in horses: Hunters and riders,
trotters at a county fair, cir
Gus steeds and others. Her
technique is similar to Mr..
Shaub's with less use of the
wood grain.

'Miserere'

George Rouault's series Of
SO etchings entitled Mise
rere" was originally engraved
during the years 1918 to '26,
but was not issued in a limit
ed edition until after World
War II. The selection of %
of these at Fantasy Gallery,
1865 Connecticut avenue
NV. through June 80 exem-
plifles the timelessneSs of
Rouault's work.
These monochrome prints
with their somber themes,
recall the artists early work
in a stained glass atelier in
their heavy black outlines.
The subjects are monument
tai in conception, vigorous in
execution. and strengthened
by simplification. Rouault's
profound religious feeling is
apparent, whether he is deal
ing with a religious subject
(e.g. Il acknowledge Thee.
Lord) or a tragedy such as
the smoking ruined land
scape with dead soldiers.

De Bureos Students

The exhibition of paintings
by students of Ralph de Bur-

next Saturday is a good testi-
monial to his instruction, as
we'll as to their talents. More
than so paintings include a
majority of still life compost
tions. There are also por-
traits, figures, landscapes,
marines and distractions.
Three awards were bestowed
on flower and still life by
Dinah Brisbane, Blanche
Kirchner and Harriet RoSen-
baum, and mentions to still
life by Mary Ann Ginter. a
landscape by E. Turner, and
a good abstraction by M.
Strickland having triangles
and diagonals in gold, brown,
blue and green.

have been difficult. 1t seemed
to me that other paintings
were as good or better than

BILE tempera, and smaller
gouacheS. The larger paint
ings are mostly naturalistic
still life subjects in predomi-

schemes. The gouaches have
more variety in themes, the
most arresting being a series
of empty rooms, the details
(doorways, stairways, etc.

AS heard on Westminster's

third, an Apotheosis con-
cluding with a spirited
chorale, somewhat misses
fire. The tempo seems rather
hurried. and the l10 Choir

from the microphoneS. The

curiosity, but one can imag-
inc a more successful use of

the numerous band resources
of Washington might be ap-
piled to a performance of
the work.

A splendid disc of Berlioz

larly good stereo showcase.
The contents also point to
some golden - or at least
gllttering - opportunities.
Beatrice and Benedict, a
sadly neglected stage work,
produced a mercurial over
ture; the remainder ought
to be worth recording. The
same is true of Benvenuto

Tennessee Salon

TenneSSee'S artists are haV-
ing their day at the Smith
sonian Institution. The Ten
nessee Salon, sponsored by
the Tennessee Art League,
opened in the foyer of The
Natural History Museum
June 5, to remain through
July 4. At the rear end of the
center aisle, under the State
flag, is a life-Size portrait of
Hon. Buford Ellington, Ten
nessee's Governor, painted by
Max Westfield. 1t must be all
excellent likeness, to judge
by the same artists portrait
of Albert Einstein, which
fetched two awards.
The exhibition is large,
composed of $50 to 200 paint
ings. water colorS, sculptures
and graphicS. Stricter stand
ards for inclusion would have
improved the show, for it
has not only competent and
pleasing works but also some
poor items (such as a head
of Lincoln) inept, amateurish
and primitive.
Well-KnOwn Tennesseans
Well known Washingto-
mans from Tennessee are
represented: Nancy Kefauver
with still life and portraits,
including one of Blake Clark,
who also participates in the
show with a flower painting.
Iris and the mocking bird,
the States emblems in those
categorieS, have inspired a
number of paintings, the best
flower Interpretation a swirl

center by Gladys Meese.
Seven first awards have
been given to works in three
media, and three of them are
accompanied by second
awards to the same works.

Sharpe Solo

Mary Eta Sharpe's current
solo exhibition at the Colony
Lounge, 1877 DeSales street
NV, through June 80, is
her sixth in Washington. She
has also had six in Virginia
and a number elsewhere, and
has participated extensively
in group exhibitions.
The Evening Star $100
Award at the Metropolitan
State Art Contest a few years
ago is one of six first prizes
her water colors have fetched;
she has also received nine
second prizes and six others
for both water color and oil.
The Colony show comprises
18 works, the majority water
colors, and four beautiful pen
and ink drawings. During
years of art study in New
York. New Jersey and here
with Eliot O'Hara and Bur-
tbs Baker, Mrs. Sharpe had
commercial illustration and
did costume sketches for coat
and suit houses in New York.
Consequently, her drawing is
excellent, both in her delicate
detailed Landscapes and tree
framed panoramas (e.g.
Georgetown Reverie,") and
in simpler, more direct
sketches such as Childhood

ON OUR BELASCO
My esteemed colleague, the
Rambler, has bluntly declared
in print that my favorite
theater. the Lafayette Square
Opera House, is an "eyesore."
Presumably if the Rambler
may criticize, I may ramble.
So I, too, proceeded to La
fayette Square, along with an
architect, Nicholas Satterlee,
to see if I could raise a ghost
or two in the old building.
Let me anticipate my conc!u-
sion: ! still find the Lafayette
Square Opera House the
Belasco), a handsome, i'm
preSSive, evocative, and, to
my unprofeSsional eye, quite
practical home for opera,
theater and recitals.
1t now is in three distinct
realms Of being. The lobby,
house, stage and backstage
are a USO reception center.
There is a new false floor
from the stage back to the
street, since. of course. the
original ramped floor would
be somewhat unsuitable for
a lounge and a cafeteria. The
boxes have been torn out,
but three balconies are still
intact. (There used to be a
fourth. according to Ray
Gingell of the K-B chain of
movie houses, from which
the stage was entirely invis-
ible. 1t was for the benefit
OF patrons who wanted to
hear, but not see, opera. Mr..
Gingell also told me of a
fabulous Turkish bath in the
basement, but I couldn't find
it,
The second aspect of the
theater is as an annex to
the annex to the Treasury
Building, next to the Riggs
Bank on Pennsylvania ave-
nue.. Access to this part of
the Belasco is only through
the Treasury Annex. Mr..
Leister, of the Treasury De-
partment, was an amiable
and knowing guide through
this section of the Belasco.
1t is enormous. Five stories
high, the high ceiling of the
theater is not the roof of
the building. There is yet
another floor above the
theater. If the bills now
before Congress are approved
and Washington finds itself
in the near future with an
opera house, there will be, it
seems to me, plenty of room
for rehearsals, set building
and storage, Offices and the
other necessary adjunctS to
stage, pit and seats for an
audience.
The third part of the
BelaSco we could not see
without further intercession,
for it is a security" section
Of the Treasury. and was
locked up tight. Maybe that's
where they keep the money.
So we have not yet seen
the dressing rooms and much
of the backstage area.
Everywhere else, however,
the finest ghosts that ever
inhabited a vacant theater
were always just around a
stone corner or behind a
steel column. The BelaSco
is run down, but is still as
solid as the Washington
Monument. II hope I an
ticipate Mr.. Satterlee's re-
port, but my remark is only
that Of an untutored eye).
The Belasco still has class.
