The Morning Call from Allentown, Pennsylvania • 6

MX ALLENTOWN MORNING CALL, SUNDAY, MARCH 3. 1935 THE MORNING CALL club met last Thursday evening at the home of Viola Allender to plan their THE DIARY Austria a country which cannot possibly be of any interest to Abyssinit. Philosophers may now freely speculate as to whether Haile Selassie would have followed the example of another famous African, and descended upon Italy with elephants via the Alps. That Looking Backward as the greatest of American' landscape artists and the 'Zenith' of the Barbizon school. For many years he was working with the Barbizon school in France and absorbed the technique which found expression in his 'Gray Lowering 'Niagara' his beautiful 'Delaware Water or The Home of the Great Need of Art Gallery Coming back once more to the subject of art appreciation he expressed delight with the local movement of starting an art gallery.

A contributor of two canvases, he expects to show more in the coming exhibitions of the Lehigh Valley Art Gallery, the most recent of which proved to be a have another play ready for Gwenn when he returns to England In my own selfish way I hope he never returns to England. I should like to drop into the Booth about once a week for the next six months to see him in this play. And after that, I'd like to see him accept one of Hollywood's generous offers. He should be known throughout the country just as Laughton is. and naturally I think we have something to offer him aside from dollars.

He has never seen America. He was here in 1921 with a successful English play called "A Voice from the Minaret." but it did not catch the public fancy, so he went straight back. Since then he has been unusually successful in both stage and film productions. Prowls Around Docks Now he is fascinated by the town. 30 Years Ago MARCH 3.

(GREAT BAND LEADER PAYS CITY TRIBUTE The presence here today of Edwin pranko Goldman, leader of the Gold-ftoan band, Is a tribute not only to the jA.Uento'wn band which he will conduct during Its concert this afternoon but to the city and its citizens. Mr.

Goldman today holds a position In the world of bands and band music Bkin to that which the renowned and beloved John Philip Sousa held in the same realm. Mr. Sousa and his band toured the country time and again and each tour was a triumphal march, with crowds turning out to see and hear the great bandmaster and his bend. Sometimes the Sousa band played in parks free of charge, sponsored by the park managements, but otherwise it was booked as a concert attraction in theatres and auditoriums and the music lovers everywhere gladly paid the price of admission. The band which Mr.

Goldman conducts does not go on tour. It plays in only a single city New York and then only two months of the year, July and August. No admission is charged because the scene of its concerts are the widespread acies cf the mall in Central Park and the amphitheatre of the campus of New York university. The wealthy Guggenheim family pays all the expenses. It is a real tribute, therefore, that Allentown and the Allentown band ehould have interested Mr.

Goldman to uch a degree that now for the third time he is paying the city a Tisit. Minus obligations and remunerations, to have the peer of living bandmasters visit, any community and to conduct Its band is a gesture not only that bespeaks his love for music fend for all who essay its accomplishment, but an act of pure friendship. "AYBSSINIA ABSTAINS" SUBJECT OF INTERESTING COMMENT A worried world will doubtless be relieved to learn that Abyssinia has abandoned Its intention of annexing Italy. The confusion in European politics that might have resulted from euch an intrusion by an African power the internal affairs of the continent of Europe is thus happily avoided. At the same time there is no longer any danger of new alien social influences in Europe.

Having successfully repelled the subtly poisonous Jorces of Americanism as manifested In the spread of horn-rimmed glasses and cocktails, Europe is now fully able resist a movement to substitute Epears for poison gas and to check a continent-wide tendency toward mak- ing all female hair black, kinky and it i in shorter waves than have heretofore bten common among the professional hairdressers. Likewise, there is no longer any danger of lions, harte-beests and other animals from Africa beins introduced into Europe and turned loose to reproduce there so that the hunters ci the conquering race may have the chance to pursue the srme game that they hunted in their African uplands. For Mr. Hitler, of course, this is bad news. Ever sinre his falling out with Mussolini following a misunderstanding about the late Austrian Chancellor, Dr.

Dollfuss. he has hoped that something might remove the Italian Duce from his horizon. Certainly an Abyssinian protectorate over Italy under the Noble Lion of Judah, Haile Selassie, would be less troublesome to (Germany than the Duce. Of course, the strain Hebraic blood in some of the best families of Abyssinia is figainst the Ras Pafari Bust even that might be overlooked If he were willing to wink at German' annexation of An Allentown Sat.

Must have been left at art school. Couple of hours search to locate janitor without sue cess. No one in vicinity knows him and George Stump not to be located George boss of all the janitors.

D. Havard arrives with it. He'd noticed it on leaving and calculated we'd want Home again in mid-evening and find Jessie Bauman, just nome irom west cnester, with Win nie Webb, her former schoolmate and Lucille Bosshardt. Foursome at bridge's quickly arranged and we play until late hour. Sunday, fair, colder Bexagesima Sunday and to church.

Both looking and feeling so well it makes us all happy, En route, Billy insists we make trip to that music house in whose windows he saw tempting drums and traps. "And they're only $42. Say you'll get tnem ror me?" he pleads.

These indicate she wants English words of "Cocktail for Two" and other American songs now popular in Germany.

Find mother there with the Walter Baums, the John Rileys, of Bethlehem, and a large group of young people assembled for Mary. Pleasant evening during which we see Mr. M's stamp collection, especially rich in commemorative issues which are in pretty frames; his paintings and other phases of engineer's versatile makeup There's a cake left and it goes back to boys in office. Then home with Joe McCarron.

Monday, fair, warm A perfect day. Balmy as spring. Office in late afternoon and have call from Jack McGrath who says that infant feeding device he's taken up as salesman is getting popular, with recommendations from all doctors who use it.

There's something of despair in her question: "Where can we get an auto mechanic? Helen (Mealey) can't run her car. Says something's wrong with accelerator." Well, knights of old had opportunities to rescue maidens fair from terrible ogres, etc.

But what would they have done with an spirit of gallantry prompts investigation of trouble, especially since we know difficulties oi locating mechanics anywhere late at night. And manage to solve problem and send happy girls on their way and under their own power Over early morning cards, boys revive banter for Johnnie McFadden who rather absentmindedly asked Gordon Fister who Ben Franklin was. And Gordon replied he was man who discovered electricity, sending kite up into clouds, collecting current there and when it ran down the string it lighted a Mazda lamp on the end of the string. Absolute silence in office as Gordon pulled this anachronism. After minutes Johnnie challenges with: "What did you say was on the end of that string?" Jeers that greeted question provoked Johnnie, who commented: And to think that Fister, of ail lei- lows, should get me on a gag like that.

Never expected it of him." And boys are certain Spring has arrived because Johnnie arrives minus spats Cards interrupted by fire alarm. All believe it false, except Ned Mc-Gettigan and Adolph Pezoldt who decide to take chance, while rest hold fort. In a few minutes call from former says Lake's silk mill's burning.

And have lots of fun when we meet Officer Larrimer, always iun of joshing. And scurry for cover when hose bursts.

But they'd made up their minds they'd quit when it no longer was fun.

And they announce they've arrived at that point where it's lust work.

And late in eve ning from Bob Rhedans who sinks into chair, tired. "One of biggest days in our history at Boys Haven," he says, "and I did a lot of walking too.

hanging in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, and considered the most popular work of Jean Bap-tiste Miller, is another brilliant example of the Barbizon School. "The 'impressionistic' school, composed of painters who caught and put on canvas the shift and change in appearance and color with changing lights and shadows on the permanent things in a landscape, contributed not a little. To this group belong Edouard Manet, creator of 'In the Conservatory and The Execution of the Emperor Maximilian' and Claude Monet who introduced dotting the six primary rainbow colors on canvas, unmixed, to create the effect of light and not color. But he says: The man from whose work I benefitted most, however, was George Innes, considered by many expedition left something to be desired, from the African point of view. Presumably, tnerefore, Haile Selassie would not make a similar mistake.

Besides which, elephants have not the same combat value now as two thousand years ago and their cost of upkeep since America has begun to plough under peanuts is going up dangerously high. Remains to be seen, therefore, only whether Mussolini will return the compliment and change his mind about invading Abyssinia. It would seem to be the least that a courteous gentleman could do under the circumstances. And it would show a becoming magnanimity of spirit. Incidentally, it might also prove profitable from a political and financial point of view.

Italy's last Abyssinian adventure was costly and fruitless. New York Herald Tribune. Public Opinion First Aid Corps Offers Its Services to Fire Department We of the Allentown First Aid Corps of the Allentown Chapter of the American Fed Cross notieed the editorial in the Morning Call of March 1. 1934, under the following title: "Better Training for All Allentown Firemen." We are glad that at last some progress will be made along this line in the local fipe department and just how extensive it will be we can only wait to see. You will agree with us that there are no other departments in the city that need the knowledge of First Aid training than the Fire and Police de partments.

True, the local fire department is most successful in fire fighting. They Know how to do this and make a good job of it. They save material things tnat can be replaced. But they do not know how to render efficient First Aid should any unfortunate victims require immediate attention. They are then in a position to save a life from a burning building and lose it because it is in dangerous hands (First Aid speaking).

Such lives cannot be replaced. We hope that First Aid training will be included in the instruction for all firemen in the City of Allentown. Lieut. Col. Reninger has been after the local fire department for over seven years.

In 1931 two members of the Fire department were appointed First Aid instructors by the American Red Cross but they never taucht. In sendine the mentioned person to Philadelphia we wonder whether Capt. Wolf might recall the famed book "Acres of Diamonds" and in looking about he would find that right here in Allentown he would find an organization equal and as efficient as any in the state as far as First Aid training and instruction is concerned. Just last fall we conducted a review course for the State Highway Motor Patrol in the Bethlehem barracks: this group already had First Aid at their training school. We hope that it will be a matter of only a short time until both Police and Fire departments will have continuous First Aid instruction for the men who are paid to give the public the proper protection when emergencies arise.

Very truly, CHARLES G. LUTZ, Pres. Allentown First Aid Corps, A. R. C.

since known in every hamlet in the land for his splendid performances in the films. Now at the same theatre is another accomplished English actor, Edmund Gwenn. Though he has been on the stage since 1895 and is 59 years of age. he is practically unknown here. Fortunately, this will not be so for long.

His performance in J. B. Priestley's play, "Laburnum Grove," will see to that. When Priestley went to see the film of his novel. "The Good Companions." he was struck by the acting of Gwenn.

who played the part of a Yorkshire carpenter. Priestley called to congratulate him and before they parted, the author said, "How would you like te have me write a play for you?" Gwenn said he would be delighted and Priestley invited him to tea the following Sunday afternoon. Meantime. Priestley drafted a plot and when Gwenn arrived, he walked up and down the lawn in front of Priestley's pretentious Georgian house in Highgate village listening to the plot. "No shenanigans, now," said Priestley when he had finished.

"Do you like it or not?" Gwenn said he did, and the same night Priestley left for the Isle of Wight to write it. Three weeks later, Gwenn had the finished manuscript of "Laburnum Grove."

Priestley has promised to -I a navy, and in 1815 Stephen Decatuji was sent to break up the interference of the corsairs with the ships of thS country and terminate the annual- huge success. "Anyone who saw the horde of people at that last exhibition," he said "and saw all those young people at work on drawing and painting can grasp the idea that heretofore some great community need was lacking.

Naturally homefolks are interested in what their young people are doing. They were delighted with the progress being made and showed their approval by purchasing many of the splendid pieces shown. As the gallery grows the public will respond more generally adding much to the cultural life of Allentown through the increased, appreciation of art. They, will learn that real pictures tell something it may be just a poetic mood or a whole story of life." In addition to the canvases in the local gallery, Mr. Joor, has been represented in various Eastern exhibits.

As a boy he acompanied his father on hunting trips through Texas before he was old enough to safely handle firearms. Then it was that he learned the use of the bow. Archery, even to the present time, fascinates him.

Al though he has hunted with rifle and shotgun, he considers bow and arrow more sport and more sporting in the pursit of any game. In his travels throughout Mexico and the southwest his interest was whetted in the weaving of willow baskets and the age-old pottery art. in the not too distant future he hopes to put into operation a plan whereby members of Boy Scout troops and ex-Boy Scouts, who are slightly older and unemployed, may have opportunity to become Interested in these three hobbies under his guidance. His small tract of land boasts a stand of willows and more could be planted. There is an abundance of clay for the pottery making.

Mr. Joor's plan would enable the boys to build a workhouse, use it to create and sell their handiwork and employ idle moments in wholesome worth while work and activity. Nothing pleases him more than to be host to a group of boys whose genuine interest in his hobbies, is compensation enough for demonstrating them at length, or to show his pictures to those who love art; whether "boys," or boys and girls who have grown "bigger."

Man and superman." Samuel F. Joor, Artist, Lives On Lehigh Mt. (Continued from Page Five) on August 19, 1872. His father, a phy sician and professor of natural history at Tulane University, early instilled in him an appreciation of the great ouiaoors and gave rum his first instruction in water-color painting and pencil drawing. While his elementary education was being completed under private tutelage, his mother, inspired by the talent developed by her husband, taught him the rudiments of oil painting.

Desiring to follow in his father's footsteps in the matter of a career, his father finally convinced him the medical profession was too crowded and realizing the great opportunities opening in the mechanical field, per suaded him to enter Tulane and study engineering It is not surprising therefore that when during his college career, this son of a scientific father and artistic mother, began the studies of archi tectural and mechanical drawing his early training in the arts should mag netically reassert itself and clamor for expression. Under the tutelage of Elsworth and William Woodward, art teachers at Sophie Newcomb and Tulane colleges respectively, he learned much of painting which was to become a life-long hobby. His studies with the former were of most value; the ad vice of studying the old masters laying the groundwork for his subsequent as sociation witn Aiired Jannson in Chicago. After three years as a sugar engineer, he became associated with the Link Belt company of Chicago in 1896 at $12 a week, leaving a position that netted him $2800 a year. Two of the six years he worked for this concern were spent in foreign travel, afford ing a splendid opportunity to carry out the advice of Elsworth Woodward in study of masterpieces hanging in famous galleries thruout Europe and the Far East Returning again to the United States in 1902, he successively was en gineer for Jeffrey Manufacturing com pany and Mead Morrison Manufacture ing company, both of Chicago.

Dur ing the World war, from the ordnance department of the army, he was assigned to the position of supervising engineer for Semet Solvay company, Syracuse, N. and from there went into special lines of work which led up to an opening as a research eu6Ji- cer for an Easton manufacturing con cern. This opportunity was seized upon because it gave him the long de sired chance to paint the beauties of the Delaware valley and the adjacent hills of Pennsylvania. Just prior to the Easton engagement while designing for an architectural firm, he was called upon to complete the details of heating, drainage, spouting, etc for the Allentown State hospital aa-dltion. When engineering "fell asleep" in the depression, the way was open to follow the painting of real pictures whole-heartedly.

Definite Ideas on Landscapes Although Mr. Joor has used his brush in other phases of work, land scape painting is his ideal. The ex acting composition of painting a natural scene so that when at last it is completed, the canvas relates a story makes his pictures have life interest. While in Chicago a friendship with Alfred Jansson, famous Swedish painter noted for his snow scenes, developed both men being students of atmospheric veils, the colors of which are determined by lights and shadows, no ticed, but not discernabie to tne or dinary observer, although to the art ist all-esfiitial in creating tne eneci of distance in pictures. Later he gained much practical knowledge from the opportunity of studying the foundation, colors and basic principles of old masterpieces while working with Leo Marzolo, restorer of canvases for practically every important museum and gallery in the world.

Lauds Kline Art Foundation Although generally out of sympathy with the "modern" school, Mr. Joor considers the work Walter Emerson Baum is doing for the students in the Kline Art Foundation of great benefit to young painters. Speaking of Mr. Baum's efforts in the local school he said, "Allentown is indeed fortunate in having such a cultural and sincere artist to aid in developing the talents of its sons and Aside from the fact that they are learning to draw and paint, they are unconsciously absorbing an appreciation and love of the beautiful that will stay with them throughout their entire lifetimes." To supplement the work of the school he advocates following the same advice that Elsworth Woodward gave him 45 years ago, the study of old masterpieces by young students in order to learn how the masters created their effects of coloring, perspective and especially light and work work work. "When as a young man I studied with the Woodward brothers they stressed the importance of study along these lines.

Naturally, being interested primarily in landscape painting, I sought out the works of men who created the early canvases. Landscapes, you know, have been painted since only around 1700 an up-start as it were in the age-old history of the arts. "In England there were John Constable, Millars, and Turner. British art critics ridiculed the greens, browns, and yellows of the landscapes Constable painted as he saw them, but his pictures won immediate appreciation in France when they were shown there. They influenced greatly the growth of the French school of nature painters known as the Barbizon School.
