Herbert E. Gale, Mrs. Eben Festival On March 23 To Be Given At -Four Arts Promenade To allow more space, both for performers and audience, the Nea- politan Nights festival, to be given March 23 by tho Romanies, has been transferred from the gardens of La Fontana to the North Promenade of the Four Arts, it was announced Monday. Expresses Regret In making' the announcement, Mrs. George A.

Dobyne expressed deep regret at having to relinquish the lovely La Fontana setting, which Mrs. George Luke Mesker had graciously tendered the for this occasion, explaining that only the size of the chorus, orchestra and the assisting ballet had forced officers to the conclusion a larger setting was essential. Recently re-landscaped for the flower show, the north promenade never has been more beautiful and will provide a picturesque setting with ample seating capacity for this program which the Romanies are to give with Robert Wecde as guest artist. The Grace Miles Studio is presenting the ballet, "Les Sylphides," as part of the program, and additional space was required for this, as it was feared with the full cast on the scene some might be too near the pool for safety.

KEVES Pot-iinin StafI To the camera lens, America owes its place in the art sun of the world, in the opinion of Nicholas Haz, distinguished internationally known photographer and Palm Beach visitor, who will talk tonight to camera enthusiasts at the Four Arts.

"The machine age has made America; it has been a boon to art, and it has made America supreme in picture making," he said Monday, sitting in the patio of George C. Van Dusen's studio, where he had been indulging in a busman's holiday by working with his host, in the photographic laboratory. lie pointed to photography as the national art of America, with 28,000,000 cameras owned and at least 10,000,000 in active use. He described the Hollywood photog raphers and directors as the great artists of the day, and chose Walt Disney as the greatest artist in the world today. "If it were not for the camera, Disney would be just another car toonist, instead of the great artist he is," he explained.

"His is a universal art that has everything; understood and loved by people everywhere, the perfect exponent of the theory that art is the ability to transport emotions and ideas to others." Mr. Haz told of a large exhibit American artists sent to France on a traveling exhibition, and of a critic who said he would swap the whole for some feet of American film. He pointed to the way in which American films and magazines, filled with American pho tographic art, are sweeping the world, influencing manners and morals and fashions. In Batavia he paid 50 cents for a copy of the Saturday Evening Post; in Singapore he was astounded to find a little kiosk entirely decorated with copies of Esquire, to be offered one for the equivalent of $1, and to be told that if he didn't take it then, he would not be able to buy one a day later; he wasn't 50 copies in 24 hours! Not that Nicholas Haz was by any means decrying American painted art. He was an artist with the brush long before he bo-came one with the lens.

In his native Hungary, in Germany, England and other countries he studied art; came to the. United States 24 years ago to teach it in Los Angeles. Today he has his school of photography in Rockefeller Center, is engaged in fascinating experiments with what he terms painting with light. Twenty-five of his colored photographic abstractions are on display at the current Camera Salon at the Four Arts. Tonight at 8 o'clock he will discuss the physical and mental aspects of this art in a lecture for Four Arts members and members of the West Palm Beach Ciftnera Club, as well as others.

The photographer described himself as an innovater, who is using new symboLs and color to express such emotions as are not usually, expressed by other picture makers. Gertrude Stein with words and Dali will paint have used old symbols to express abstractions and to convey ideas, he explained, and he is trving to do this with new symbols in the realm of photography. He spoke of his work as "painted music," said that most innovaters annoyed people, but he hoped to please them, adding frankly that he had gone into the realm of abstract ideas because he would rather appeal to the small percentage of the intelligentsia, the most interesting part of the country's population, than to the masses, "I'm changing technique so that I can have complete control of what I want to express," he explained. Program Is Given By Indian Princess Princess Te Ala, full-blooded Chickasaw Indian, brought the art of her race to an interested audience last night at the Four Arts, when she was presented by the music committee. Several costumes were worn by the princess, who not only sang, but told dramatic stories, beat the tom-tom and gave illustrations of her native dances, announcing her own program as she went.

Princess Te Ata has given recitals in all parts of this country and last year appeared before King George VI and Queen Elizabeth at Hyde Park ort the invitation of President and Mrs. Roosevelt. Sale Of Catalogues Will Aid Soldiers A special committee from Les Colis de Trianon-Versailles, Palm Beach unit of the international organization which makes kits for the French soldiers, has charge of selling catalogues for the exhibition at the Hammer Galleries in the Everglades Club, the proceeds to go for this work.
