By Mabel MountsierThe loan exhibition of prints, ar-

ranged by the Department of Artof Rollins College in the AlabamaHotel, is a notable event in Win-ter Park. The range of prints, 85in number, is surprisingly compre-hensive since it includes fine ex-amples of the work of many art-ists from Durer and Rembrandt tothe present time, loaned by collec-tors of this locality. From the richcollection of Mr. John Tiedtke ofToledo and Orlando are three etch-ings each by Rembrandt, Durer,and Daumier, and one by Goya.Of these the Melancholia of Durer,Christ Driving the Money-chang-ers from the Temple of Rembrandt,and the Bull Fight cf Goya are par-ticularly good impressions..

NOTABLE EXHIBITIONOF PRINTS AT ALABAMA

(Continued from page 1)Bas Bleus, Women Smoking in1847, and Chinese Officials Medi- .ating on the Welfare of the Em-pire. The Lawyer, a wood cut aft-er Daumier, by Alfred Prunaire,is a fine interpretation of the orig-inal, in which the arrogant lawyeris seen descending the steps of thePalais de Justice after winning acase.

Of the fourteen prints loaned byDr. and Mrs. Fox, six are etchingsby Joseph Pennell, a close friendof Dr. Fox. Le Stryge, one of thechimeres on the towers of NotreDame, is not only a fine impressionbut it is one of a very few takenfrom a plate which shows a balloonin the sky, placed there by Mr.Pennell because of a spot of ink.The depth of tliis print and thetreatment of light in The EastRiver from Brooklyn are qualitiesto be noted. Dr. Fox tells thatPennell sought far and wide forold pieces of paper on which tohave the impressions made, andthis is apparent in some of theprints on view.

Dr. Edwin Grover's group illus-trates a variety of methods: linol-eum, wood block, etching, and lith-ograph. It includes three pictorialitems from Dr. Grover's rare col-lection of Whitmaniana: a portraitof Whitman and Whitman's birth-place, by William O, Motterman,and an etching made by T. Johnsonfrom the well known portrait byCcx.

The visitor will find five missingfrom the list of works belongingto Rollins College, withdrawn be-cause of lack of space but among .those included are Old Castle, bySir David Young Cameron, andworks by John Taylor Arms, FrankW. Benson, and Frank Brangwyn.There are also prints loaned byBaron d'Estournelles, Judge andMrs. L. J. Hackney, Dr. HamiltonHolt, Mrs. John Martin, Mrs. EdithTacld Little, a fine Hogarth, ownedby Mrs. Rhea Marsh Smith, andseveral old English engravings fromthe collection of Mr. and Mrs. Wil-liam M. McMillan.

A high spot in the exhibit is

"Consider the Lilies", front etching by Andre Smith, now at theexhibition in the Hotel Alabama

the sextet of Whistlers from theartistic possessions of Mrs. CharlesSprague-Smith. These show theartist's fine drawing and his deli-cacy of perception. Whistler is oneof the great creative artists, who,like Rembrandt and Pennell, ex-presses himself by suggestion, andsince the observer is left to fill outwhat is suggested, the omission ofdetails is a tribute to the specta-tor's intelligence.

Proud as Winter Park is of thadiscriminating taste of these col-lectors, it is still more gratifyingthat the work of two local artistshas merited inclusion in the exhibi-tion. The skillful and sympathetictreatment of Florida trees in theetchings and dry points of RuthDoris Swett finds a response inthose who also have a feeling forthe lofty pines, symbols of aspira-tion in the landscape. Miss Swett'slatest dry point, that of the beau-tiful Rollins Tower, shows an everincreasing mastery of her mediumthat augurs still further honors forthis young artist whose etchingshave been selected to appear in na-tional exhibitions in New York,Washington, and Los Angeles.

Andre Smith's fine taste and per-ception are manifest in his etch-ings of architectural subjects, and

his strong individuality stands outas in his .paintings. "Consider theLillies", which depicts the poor ofthe earth, above whom is the figureof Christ, brings to mind the lines,Whose sad face on the cross sees

only thisAfter the passion of a thousand

years.Praise of Mr. Smith as an artist

would be an attempt to gild thelily, for his work, so well knownhere, speaks for itself. In the re-cent exhibit of surrealist art in theModern Museum, in New York, sixof his paintings were on the walls;and his place in American art hasbeen recognized in his being chosenas the director of the ResearchStudio to be soon established inMaitland under the patronage ofMrs. Edward Bok.

This exhibit was arranged by Mr.Hugh McKean of the Departmentof Art of Rollins College in coop-eration with the management ofthe Alabama Hotel. Dr. WilliamH. Fox, formerly curator of theBrooklyn Museum, was of valuableassistance in serving in an advis-ory capacity, It is the good for-tune of Winter Park to have as aresident so great an authority inthis field as Dr. Fox, who because

of his services to art and the factthat he was a pioneer in bringingto America exhibitions of manyforeign artists, has received decor-ations from the governments ofhalf a dozen European countries.

The exhibitions at the BrooklynMuseum, Dr. Fox says, were direct-ed toward interesting- persons inmaking their own collections ofprints, for this is a field so largethat all tastes may be satisfied ata cost that is not prohibitive. Anexample is that of an employe inhe Brooklyn Museum who bought aPennell etching for |12.50, and afew years later was offered ?250for it. The best thing about printcollecting' as a hobby is that it fur-nishes an ever widening interestand increasing pleasure, not tomention anything so materialisticas the possible increase in mone-tary value.

The exhibition closes Thursday,March 4th.

Prof, and Mrs.

U. T. Bradley

The Bradley Residence

This house built for Professorand Mrs. U. T, Bradley from plansby J. Gamble Rogers II, WinterPark architect, faithfully followsthe tradition of the early Americancolonies, and its prototypes can .bafound with slight variations fromVirginia to Maine. It is in the fieldof rural and suburban houses thatthe most characteristic and origin-al phases of American domesticarchitecture are to be found. Thematerial most used is wood thoughthe more prosperous colonists ofVirginia and some of the other

southern districts used brick, oftenemploying these materials in com-bination to produce wall textures ofgreat charm.

Although the early Americanhouses clearly show the influencesof English architecture popular inthe eighteenth century, it has al-ways been characteristic of Ameri-can planning to arrange the roomsto afford the maximum of conven-ience rather than to conform to anytraditional type, and this has beenan element of considerable artistiasuccess. It has resulted in exter-iors which are the natural resultof the interior arrangements,

frankly expressed, without affecta-tion of style.

The material used in the Bradleyhouse is a combination of old sec-ond hand brick, and hand hewnshingles for the outside walls. Thecentral or brick portion of thehouse represents what might havebeen the original building, and thetwo shingled wings, later addi-tions.

The entrance hall is featured bya very handsome circular stairwaysuch as might have been found insome of the old Virginia houses,The living room mantel and otherwoodwork is molded in Colonial de-signs of the period. The point ofinterest in the Dining room is alarge plate glass window whichframes a magnificent view of LakeOnceola.

Page Seven

The property upon which thehouse is built faces directly southand has the view of the lake to thenorth, hence the house is designedso that each important room hasboth the view to the north, and thes uth exposure.

The fact that America is themelting pot of many civilizationshas encouraged the adaption ofnearly as many architectural styles.It is doubtful however, if any oneof these will ever equal in univer-sal national appeal, the architec-ture of the early period of Ameri-can history.

DR. MORTON HONORED

Thirty friends of Dr. EpsalieMorton met for luncheon last Sat-urday at the Little Gray House topay tribute to her and her recentlypublished book "A Woman Sur-geon". Toasts were given by Dr.E. O. Grover, Mrs. William Holt,Dr. Geo. M. Whicher, Mrs. J. L.Houston, Mr. Lozier, Mr. Winslow,Mrs Thompson, and Miss Mabel

Mountsier read an amusing anec-dote from Dr. Morton's book and awitty poem written by herself onthe occasion of Dr. Morton's returnfrom Persia.

Dr. Morton responded in her owninimitable way, relating many hum-orous experiences •which had oc-curred during her career.

Mrs. Whicher read the followingtribute in verse composed by Dr.Whicher for the occasion:

FOR DR. ROSALIE SLAUGHTER MORTON'Tis not the prize's value that allures,But the keen sense of some high task fulfilled;This is the heart of triumph, that endures,—The victory for which life's wine is spilled,—The coronal no gold can ever gild! .

Take then, good friend, on this auspickus day,Ths tribute that we bring your finished toil.Our praises, knowing1 that they will outweighIn your clear eyes all gifts of glistening foilThat smaller souls might crave as their clue spoil.

And may this book, wherein your story's told,—Your gains, your losses, dreams, and ardent strife,-Bear its brave message, never growing old,To wake young hearts to ampler, rich'er life,With courage, hope, and benediction rife.

Theatregoers Enjoy"The Bishop Misbehaves"

ested. There was a ready laughterthat met the well-put shots of theplayers, and a rapt attention fol-lowed the development of the story.In short, the play was the thingand the performance was lifted outof the slough of many amateurproductions,-—a politely simulatedinterest because, of personal . ac-quaintance with those taking theparts. :3.

"Mr. Donald Allen is to be con-gratulated for giving us a playthat normal people -would get somekick out of. The stage has tooriiany dismal, morbid, defeatists,neurotic plays, most of which be-long in a clinic of psychiatrists.Mr. Allen also cast his parts well,and there was a high plane ofachievement in the characteriza-tions. Special praise is due for theexcellent speaking of the lines,every word of which was readilyheard back to where Belasco usedto sit,'—the back row.

: I t would be superfluous to enum-

erate the individual merits of eachof the leavers. They got sufficientglory and compliments from thethrong of enthusiasts who rushedbackstage to congratulate them.They all did well; they "put theplay over" to the immense enjoy-ment of two packed houses, anddemonstrated again that there isample talent in our young studpntsto not only reflect great glory onRollins Dramatic Department onthe occasion of Founders' Week,but also to give the long sufferingtheatre fans of Winter Park re-newed confidence in the tonic effectsof "a good show".
